Hi John

With difficulty grin

Seriously I spent most of my life playing rhythm guitar or bass and singing harmony. I'll have to practice my "chord melody" playing or rely on fills and hope my singing is good enough to carry me through.

The latency seems very good so there isn't a noticeable delay when playing single strings. The SD40 only recognises chords with three notes so it's possible if you are a decent guitarist to play lead using three string chords and single strings guitar

Regards, Col

Col, I love what you are doing – it is part of enjoying music, nice. The only thing that bugs me about your post is that I am getting interested again. (smile)

I do play many of my guitar solos with three or more notes. I loved playing a slow song and hearing my guitar with a string background, it adds a lot.

Col, thanks for the post, if you need any help with your guitar let me know.
John C.

Col: Does the sd card loaded in your sd40 contain backing tracks only...or are there additional styles loaded as well?

In full keyboard mode, you can set the SD40 to NOT change chords as long as the sustain pedal is depressed. Maybe it would work the same with the guitar?

Roland's RA series modules used to do this. You could play a chord, hit the sustain pedal, then solo over it till you release the pedal. Very cool for a guitarist.

JM - Regarding the SD card, nothing on it at the moment, I bought the SD40 from Ketron UK who have supplied me with a Customer loyalty memory stick with 350 addition styles (a few of which are duplicates) to load them into the SD40 you connect the unit to a computer then copy the styles into the appropriate folder, ballad, country etc. on the SD40.

I have played a few backing tracks from a memory stick just to try it, long way to go yet regarding playlists etc.

Don - I read about the sustain pedal function in the manual but haven't tried it yet, if your guitar technic is good enough I think you should be able to manage without it however, I'll give it a try.

I have a lot of work to do on my guitar playing. The system has great potential but it's going to take time. Hope I have enough smile

Having used Korg equipment for so long it's a bit of a culture shock using Ketron gear, I didn't know what a registration was till yesterday grin

PS: The photo shows the last time I played guitar seriously so you can understand why I'm a little rusty.

Regards to all, Col

Hi 124

Yeah, an Hofner Verithin, great guitar very light a pleasure to play, I bought it used for 50.00 quid and sold it about 12 years ago for 400.00. My mate had the matching Verithin bass very slick.

Happy day's grin

Regards, Col
