A big part of it is the amount of gain and drive you set on your patch or amplifier. The more gain and drive, the more sustain. But make sure you use a noise gate as well!

I also think that gain during lead has as much to do with your fingers getting (the tone and gain )
as it does the amp/ software it might show an area that needspractice |

i think it may be your guitar, picking or the input level of guitar rig, how is your input level?

Thanks a lot for all the replies guys I meddled with Guitar Rig and more gain helped, but when I boosted the input level of Guitar Rig I got a great, fat sustain Thanks a lot, you helped me a LOT Great man! I remember using that "for the love of god" preset and it has a lot of sustain. Great to know that you could solve this problem. -------------------- My lessons

Yes, boosting an input is usually the way you can create more sustain. It works as a booster in the real world, overdriving the input of the amp. Glad to hear you solved this small issue

That's true, I experimented with different kinds of vibrato and got pretty distinct results. For the first time I started paying attention to the level of pressure applied to the frets. But without setting the rig properly, those tiny details weren't so apparent. There are so many things to learn about this instrument, it's amazing yeah, it's true. The setting are important but it's awesome to see how the same setting with the same guitar could sound so different if you change the guitar player. That's when you make sure of how much the sounds comes from the fingers. -------------------- My lessons
