Hi Richard
Most definitely. I tried using this in a 3-piece band, but unless you are willing to play to a click, it will get away from you. There are videos of people making these types of VSTs work real well, but there is quite a challenging learning curve to it.
Quite honestly, if you are emulating any instrument on keyboard, it is best to really learn a lot about the particular instrument. Example: If you know nothing about a brass section, and how the instruments are played, the outcome will sound like a keyboard. Realism takes much research and practice. So, if you are looking for just the strumming background, it is possible with AGM, just pay attention to play legato, or it will be “choppy” at best. Usually, Piano or E. Piano will sound better than a poorly played guitar backing.
Dave Dore’s chord player will allow you to trigger a chord without having to manually play the chords, if you want to go that route. Get it here: Manual Chord Player Racks
This provides me a pad background, while playing a lead on guitar. I change the chords with a sustain pedal. The chords are preset. This would be a good alternative when using AGM.
However,if you are looking to improvise jazz movements, then manually played chords will be necessary.
