I have been playing acoustic guitar (as a hobby) for the past 30 years, mostly classical. Then I got a cut-away acoustic jazz guitar which I've been playing for about 5 years. I play by myself, got no one around to play with (I live on an island!) Questions : I'd like to "expand" my horizons by getting a guitar synthesizer. I've seen plenty of Roland GR-55 YouTube demos, and Fishman Triple Play. Just found out about James Tyler Variax. My idea is to compose "new age" style pieces, mixed with soft classical jazz. And would love to play and mix with other instruments, piano, violins, voices, etc. I'm just starting, and my budget is limited to get one or two "gadgets." I can read music sheet, but can't play any piano. I would like to reach for a real sound, not "canned" ones. If I play violin, I would like for the listener to think it's a real (or close to) violin. Same with piano, etc. My dilemma: What should I aim for? Roland GR-55 guitar synth, Fishman Triple Play software and pickup, Line6 Variax? Or something else. I would also have to get an amplifier! (Remember, I'm all acoustic!) Thanks for any ideas or suggestions...
