It's not easy, I find that it's not so much the strum that's difficult
as simulating the damping of the strings which just doesn't work on a
keyboard.

And almost impossible to find strummed guitar loops that fit your
song, although with loops that stretch as with Apple Loops or Acid the
job becomes easier.

So I learnt the guitar, even if I'm not very good, I can create a part
these days thanks to digital recording and the ability to build a part
up bar by bar if necessary and edit a lot.

However, check this out:

I don't think there is an AU version though.
