Part of the reason I bought this iPad was because a friend told me about some very cool sounding things that could be done. Talked to the local Guitar Center. Sounded awesome. My problem was that playing has always been an obsession with me, so I largely quit in the mid-70's. Always thought at retirement I'd pick it back up again. I keep threatening to buy the SG I always wanted, but, instead, as full-timers, I have my 1978 Ovation acoustic, my 1967 Fender Precision Bass, & my '57 Strat in a temperature controlled storage unit. One thing I would for sure do though, is use my Bose headphones with the iPad so I wouldn't bother others. About a year ago, heard a guy in a site near use playing using an amp. Wasn't real loud, but did remind me of why I quit playing in rock bands when I did. Everybody things they can play. Most can't.
