guitar/bass software

[jerry]

Hello has anyone used FastTrack USB or Amplitube Live and if so did you encounter installation problems?:confused:
Any telecaster players out there what strings are you using?

Might not be quite on topic, but..

I travel a lot with my job. I usually take along a Squier Tele (Fender Bullet 11's, BTW) and my laptop. The laptop is required for my work, it's not just for jammin'.

I have the following (free!) software on the laptop:

Simulanalog Guitar Suite (free VST Plug-in)
MiniHost (free VST host program)
Hammerhead (free drum program)
Audacity (free multitrack recorder)
lots of MP3 backing tracks (mostly from guitarbt.com)

(and also a 1/4" mono jack to 1/8" stereo jack cable, it goes into the mic jack on the laptop - six bucks or so at my local Long & McQuade)

- perfect for hotel room jammin' thru headphones.

You could also jazz it up by adding one of those $79 Jam Lab USB things from M-Audio, but my rig has the advantage of being free. (other than the laptop, but my company supplied that....)

I use a jamlab usb device with guitar tracks pro 3.

I play a tele and use 10-52 d'addarios.
