What I like to do is write an identical riff with Shreddage and Evolution not just by copying the midi file but actually playing both parts and then blend them together both are double tracked from the interface, that was one of the reasons I asked about scales used in metal .
I like Chimp Spanner's sound and style of playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPS3O...eature=related
Ahhh - gotcha. Yeah - I've not been a huge fan of sample based guitars, but I have to say, some of the things I've heard from Electri6ity (I think that's what it's called) have been really good. I was speaking more along the lines of modeled guitar amplifiers, used along side a real guitarist. But to me, all of this would apply to sample based guitars as well as a real guitar - sound is sound man - if it sounds good, it is good!

Chimp Spanner is familiar to me - I will have to check that video out!
