Play power chords like a guitarist
Strum Electric’s chord library contains basic and extended chords available in open, movable, drop voicings, or power chords. Play the chords you know and Strum Electric voices them as a guitarist would.

A full selection of guitars, amps, and effects
Strum Electric includes a great collection of single coil- and humbucker-fitted classic guitars, a 2-channel amp with spring reverb, a speaker cabinet, and effects, all prepped in a ready-made preset library.

Strum with your keyboard
Down- and up-strokes, slides and bends, hammer-ons and pull-offs, palm muting, muffled strings, and arpeggios are all part of Strum Electric’s playing technique vocabulary. Performing them is simply a matter of using the strumming keys or MIDI loops.

Never buy a loop library again

Music Background: producer sound designer and experience in alot of other things musical
For all you HipHop guys out there that boy guitar loop librarys to only find out that 30% of the loops are useful, I feel your pain. But there is a answer and it is called Strum Electric. With strum y... read more [+]ou can play the riff you want and get really close to how a guitar player would play it. how close? well i say once i learned i had musicians that have been playing for quite a while snowballed into thinking i had learned how to play the guitar. This thing is the real deal. So get rid of all those loop library's and get your hands on your own personal guitar player that is ready to play when you need him.

On a side note Rock band 3 has new Guitar controllers that seem like they might be a lot of fun using with this software. close [-]
