Dom, I've been playing guitar for fifty years. I have never heard a better video on realistic guitar parts. Keep up the great videos. Thanks, JamaicaJo.

Use of the trim tool for creating strums is a gem find! Thanks!

This is the best keyboard guitar how to video on YouTube bar none.

Keep those wrists up! Oh, sorry, had a flash back there! Made me switch to drums and percussion. I like your strumming, you have been at it for a while, this is how I record guitar, and in an apartment it' comes in handy with headphones for acoustic! There are some real gems on your channel, just letting you know I appreciate it, and I'm likely more than 2 times your age, and appreciate the help being an old analog monster from the old earsplittin'loudenboomer era. But jazz and soca, funk etc ar4e what I love playing. Cuban music just gets so damn fun to play, but my guitar sucks! The 7 years of wasted piano lessons were not actually a total loss it turned out. (it was my piano teacher who said "Buy the kid a set of drums! He's good, always tapping on the piano when I leave the room" and they finally heard it. thanks you Don Alberry, RIP.

This is the best video I've seen so far on YouTube that teaches how to play realistic guitar on midi piano. Great work!

Your last video which you are talk about how to play drum on keyboard was amazing. i'm very excited to discover this one 😄

[bluescanfly]

Amazing stuff. I'd add that for guitar, the strings you don't hit are also REALLY important - simulate some palm muting, string skipping, raking, fretting hand muting and movement from position to position or at least consider them in your parts - if you'd need to mute all the open strings to hit a given note, you'd probably not want big jumps at a high tempo. Let some imperfections happen, know what frets produce natural harmonics and incorporate them. Most libraries give you perfect even. chromatic harmonics, but you'd not be able to produce them so evenly on guitar across string sets unless you happen to be Tommy Emmanuel

Partial chords are really important / double stops, triads etc. Guitars usually play just a couple notes of a chord, also guitars don't sustain like piano, you'll probably have to hit the note more often so your rhythms will vary - dotted notes, ties happen a lot, simply because it's hard to mute ringing strings exactly at the same time. Grace notes happen a lot, they should probably not be even in dynamics or duration from one to another. Try untuning your "guitar" slightly, microtonal bends etc. can really sell the part.

23:00 Gary Moore resuscitated and took over ;) Dom still got the blues...

[jdotbeatsofficial]

This is such valuable information. It reinforces what I experienced but did not understand, as well as teaches new techniques. Thank you.

[erekhronmusic]

man i have to say - your Youtube channel was one of my best find in the last months. This month i got a project for a lifetime and I had to make überrealistic live sounding mockups. This video helped me immensel.y

[ChicoteMusic]

Loved it. Could you do one for electric guitar strumming please?

[bradrisley]

This was exactly the video I came to YouTube for! Thanks, Dom!

[matthiasstock]

The landing note advice is really good and what I missed doing it on my own.

[ScottsSynthStuff]

Really useful information, Dom. I thought I knew most of what you were going to explain, but I was thinking more along actual technique. I never even thought about typical guitar chord voicing and how you should alter chords on the keyboard to fit them. Great stuff!

[GMsayles]

Best content maker on videos on this topic!

[blindfate]

Wow...What were those Baroque style scales/modes you were playing around the 24:20 mark? Theres also a way in Cubase to lock what you're playing into a certain scale...if I remember...?

[DMasteryGames]

Fantastic video. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I just bought a Montage M8x. I love acoustic guitars, but I play piano and keyboard. I am very happy to be able to try to get this fantastic and realistic sound from your video. Thank you!

[luzbel.averno]

Just your intro to the video playing guitar with the keyboard was enough to make me to subscribe.. for sure I will learn a lot from you!! Thanks. (Adter watching the full video..damn God!! you make me to understand how to compose guitar parts and sound realistic!!. Amazing!!. Congrats from Andorra)

[ophelia]

This helped so much, I couldn't work out why my midi guitar didn't sound natural and now I do!
