They're really not as expressive as a guitar.  A lot of your technique goes
out the window.  I found the key is to use some sort of performance
orientated
effect, even as simple as a volume pedal, to add expression to your MIDI
guitar playing.

I have to admit that when I use the Ztar for MIDI keyboard sounds, it has
less of my personality than using a guitar--more experience with guitar,
etc.
But there are those who can make the Ztar walk and talk:  I bet this is one
of those guys  http://www.audiocybernetics.com/Guitars.html
He's on the Ztar list--I don't think he loops--but I didn't ask him either!
