editing strummed guitar parts?

[whawha48]

im just curious if anyone edits strummed guitar parts to make sure theyre right on the grid? or should i just make sure that the ones are right on?

i am using logic pro 9 and im experimenting with the flex mode polyphonic. but its hard to decipher through the wav file.

any thoughts/comments on this would be great and thanks in advance.

Maybe nudge the whole track back a little if it's rushing but you're better off spending a little more time on the tracking until it's right rather than trying to edit.

What makes a rhythm part sound interesting are the notes that don't fall on the grid.

I've recorded some pretty sloppy guitar players.
You could cut it at the down strum of every few bars.
So like a 16 bar strumming part would cut into four 4 bar audio blocks.
Time stretch the 4 blocks to match the grid.
Or try it every 2 bars, or 1 bar, or when the chord changes.
That's absolute last resort if the guitar play just can't get it.

IMO there's not much you can do other than nudge sections around, everything else sound like shit.
