I've got an electric and an acoustic, but I mainly play on the acoustic. I'm not very good, and I'n quite tired of the sound of a guitar. Would like to do something different with it, like put it through an MSP Patch?! (i think that's what it's called) and then get some interesting pretty sounds out of ityamaha CS5 said:Ahh, do you play classical or electric? What guitar?

How long have you been playing? I have for something like a year and a half, and my teacher says I can go to conservatory in another two years probably You really need a good teacher and a lot of willpower and interest in playing guitar if you want to become better. It takes a LOT but trust me, it's worth it, and the better you become the more fun it is to practice. You need to practice at least an hour a day if you want to have good progress. It might be a good idea to do more on the electric guitar, it's easier to get a nice sound out of it and also much more versatile. yamaha CS5 said:I play electric guitar. I know exactly what you mean
I'm not exactly sure what you mean with an MSP patch, but there are a lot of ways to alter your guitar's sound. The most obvious is an amp with effects on it like the very good Fender SuperChamp XD which I have, it has delay, chorus, reverb, vibrato and tremolo built in, and it's preamp and clean channel are completely tube amp. Also has a dirty channel with lots of different overdrives/distortions. You can also get your own effects pedals.
Alternatively, you can use digital processing, like in Logic (Apple program for making music) and others, which can give your guitar virtually any sound you can think of by modifying it in the computer. You can also buy an analog to MIDI converter (which is maybe what you mean?), so that your guitar outputs MIDI signals which are even easier to modify on your computer, and you can make it sound like a piano or sax or whatever you want.
The only thing in the music effects world which is called MSP is the object based sound modeling language program Max/MSP, which is used to create your own sounds from scratch for digital music, so you can't use that with your guitar.
Hope this helps, and don't give up on playing guitar, I've been stuck myself often, but at that point you just need the insight of a teacher who can tell you what to do next
Stuff like Hendrix, Lou Reed, Pixies, RHCP, some Dutch stuff and a lot of single songs from artists. Also working through the books my teacher wrote for learning guitar, I've finished those now. You may notice some quality difference with non-modelled stuff but who cares about that if you're learning. Modeling amps and pedals and stuff. They can be really cheap with lots of sounds in them. If you find logic easy to use, then maybe Max is actually something for you indeed Or maybe you only used the basic features like midi editing and arranging. Logic is actually also one of the more advanced DAW's; to learn the synths and effects it has, and construct a fast workflow takes some studying. But Logic is much better than Ableton.
for that reason the hours of the day that allow this evil fire monster called the sun to attack me are my least favorite.
