Another excellent demo... note that one of the main differences between "Picked Acoustic" and "Strummed Acoustic" is the latter's lack of the "Melody Mode" which is unfortunate...

Ya, this was mentioned. SG does not have a consistent package content across the different products. Not sure what the logic in this is? crazy

Sweet! Back off on the guitar volume and mostly reduce its brightness. Make the guitar a bit darker. Bring the vocals more to the front. Drums sound right on. See if you can use a key switch to change the guitar strum pattern (ever so little) between versus and chorus. Just my 2cents. grin This is really nice though. thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I appreciate your constructive feedback and advice... I'll play with the mix, and experiment with the "key switch" options.

bloc-head,
nice track!

Here is a poorly mixed draft, but an example of how I use them. There are: Strummed, Picked and Vintage Session guitars on this mixed in with BIAB guitars:

Came across this comparison video. Based on I put my money back into my wallet. I have Picked Acostic and love it. I don't hear that much difference (well that I need) in the new Nylon.

Hmmm, I also own Picked Acoustic (and all other Session Guitars) and I bought the nylon for a couple of reasons, 1) it is a lovely sounding instrument and 2) it comes with a whole bunch of new pre-configured patterns! At $75, it was the easiest purchase decision I made this season!
