So, think of them as alternate controllers that take advantage of your guitar-playing muscle memory. The tradeoff is that they’re not actual guitars, which is why they track well. Either one has more consistent tracking than MIDI guitar retrofits, and no detectable latency. And Jamstik, although it started as a learn-to-play guitar product for the Mac, can also serve as a MIDI guitar controller. Admittedly, the YRG1000 looks like it escaped from Guitar Hero to seek a better life, but even my guitar-playing “tubes and Telecasters forever!” compatriots are shocked by how well it works. I was never a big fan of MIDI guitar, but that changed when I discovered two guitar-like controllers-the YRG1000 You Rock Guitar and Zivix Jamstik.
