This program has been on my radar since it came out but I haven't touched an electric guitar in more than 5 years, I only play acoustic ones with nylon strings nowadays. I wonder if that would also work with an aftermarket acoustic pickup? Also I'm no Jimmy Page but I get the impression this is geared mostly toward beginners? And I have no interest in rock/pop anymore, do you know if they have DLC's for things like jazz and classical stuff as well? > I'm still checking here to see whats up, so I can't say I've quit PC > gaming but also don't feel like I've missed anything.

I thought I'd never say this but Far Cry Primal in survival mode is a lot of fun, I had to get that game just for that after watching a let's play on YT. The single player mode is your typical Ubi formula with a different skin, but give survival mode a whirl if you haven't already. (Don't worry, there's very little of that crafting shit involved which is something I hate with passion - and so do you, IIRC).
