You can get the free Ample Guitar M Lite II, which includes sustain, hammer on, pull off, palm mute, and multiple articulations.

It generally takes some work to have a picked MIDI guitar sound like something other than a hammered dulcimer, but with some effort you can get something that works fairly well.

It's also got a pattern strummer, which is pretty cool. It's worth playing around with, because it's got a number of useful articulations, and you can create custom strum patterns and even custom chord shapes.

They also have a free Ample Bass P Lite II, which includes sustain, hammer on & pull off, and accent samples.

Of course, if you like their sounds you can buy the full versions.

SoniVox also has an inexpensive Taylor Guitar that you could try before you purchase.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
