When I first started learning guitar, I had a cheap acoustic and was having a very hard time with barre chords (I've got pretty girly hands for a dude). One of the guys I work with who plays told me to try a lighter guage string and it made a world of difference.

Okay, so I went out and bought one, and It's pretty cool. For around $60.00 Cdn This little gizmo connects your guitar to your computer and comes with demo software that includes 3 different amps with around 30 presets each (native instruments guitar combos) and at the end of the 30 day trial you can register one of them and keep it. Also comes with recording and editing software which I haven't gotten around to trying yet. The only downside I found was that I can't play directly through the computer's speakers, so I have to play with headphones. I'll definitely need to go out and get some cordless ones because the cord gets in the way while I'm playing. If anyone else is considering buying one, I recomend it!

No, it's actually a stand alone unit that just hooks your guitar to your pc. The software apparently has three different "amps" and each of those has a bunch of different presets like a pedal would except it's all on your computer so there's no amps and pedals cluttering up your house. (My wife's favourite feature!)
Anyway if anyone has tried one please let me know what you thought of it.
Thanks.

The guitar link is actually a little gizmo that connects your guitar to your pc via a usb cable and comes with software that mimics all the neat tricks an amp can do.

Thanks bootleger. I've checked out their website, but I'm looking for some unbiased opinions of people who've tried one.

Anybody know anything about the Behringer Guitar link? I want to start fooling around with effects and stuff without blowing a huge wad on pedals and bigger (expensive) amps. This seems like a decent idea. Unless it's a hunk of @$#%.
