Don't think realistic. Think like a synth. If I was a synth, how would I play guitar? Why, I used a small sample of a guitar waveform, run it through even more distortion and a harmonic generator, add lowpass filter sweeps whenever I wanted to palm mute, etc... The goal is not to capture the sound of the guitar, but the _emotion_ of the guitar, and to infuse it with the soul of the synth. [pb]
