Yes, Richard, GeoShred does look appealing. :-)
I hope that it takes Breath Control (cc 2). From MIDI, or perhaps from a microphone.
I love Physical Modeling as a synthesis model, and Breath is a great controller. Not so much for guitar input, but especially for my Yamaha WX5 ("MIDI soprano sax", with Yamaha VL-70m).
I do love my MIDI guitar (Godin LGX-SA with Roland GR-30), but that WX5... I could insert batteries, wire it to an iPhone, then to a portable loudspeaker.
