Strummed Guitar, Please

[knorkin]

Is it at all possible for the iRealPro developers to create and provide users with a bass-strum acousic guitar for the bluegrass and country styles? It would make a big improvement in the bluegrass and country backing tracks. The current arpeggiated guitar -- that comes up wherever guitar is selected -- really doesn't cut it. I imagine rock, pop, blues and jazz tracks would also benefit from some type of strummed guitar.

Thank you.

Yes. Strum Machine subscription service has it and it’s very real sounding. So it’s possible. Some of the styles in iRealPro are great. Bluegrass and country are not.

I didn't get an answer from the iRealPro people when I asked this same question in 2021. In fact, I asked the exact same question, word-for-word. What are the chances?

I'd say the bluegrass style is bad. I've also been known to call it stupid. The folks at Band in a Box know how to make a guitar strum. So it can be done. A strumming rhythm guitar has a place in multiple styles. But that point's been made already.
