It's obvious you did not read any prior postings or do a search before posting these questions. I've already answered virtually identical questions within the last two weeks.

However, the only way you'd be able to play any virtual instrument plug-ins (VSTi) with your guitar is through a guitar synth set-up with a MIDI output or any other audio to MIDI converter. The do sell relatively inexpensive guitar-to-USB cables.
