It is designed for gaming, but the guitar does have midi ability and after viewing a demo, this might be an effective cheap alternative to track some midi with your guitar: http://www.yourockguitar.com/category/usb_midi_controller/ Check out this demo for midi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC_Z0SCRvDc (sorry, embed was dissabled!!!)

It has midi capabilities and it is featured in some forums like a cheap alternative for Roland Device. Plays great the only problem is that damping is made bus umpresing buttons on the left hand, or pressing a plate on the "saddles" with the right hand.

I mean, still cheaper than a midi equipped guitar! Seems like a very good alternative though!

By the way, how does the EZAG deal with velocity? Does it recognize velocity? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I have always had the idea in the back of my mind to equip a guitar one day with midi capability but could never bring myself to mount some monstrosity of hardware on the body.

But it is a better idea to check manual, forums and versions for those guitar as mine has been in the closet. I play it during a visit to Philly in 2007 and I didn´t play it since then.

But the main useage for me would be to track midi fast and double some faster leads with some synths... I wish I could try one! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
