Well I haven't used any of them, but they're only acoustic guitar vsts that i know of. Safest bet would be either real guitar or strum together with some reverb and delay.

there arent really much that are specifically for guitars, although i found some cool ones on fm8 and then its just a matter of tweekin um maybe addin a delay..

try out guitar rig

Im pretty impressed with the audio demos

Learn to play a guitar.

You must know somebody who can play guitar, no?

If you do... just grab an acoustic electric, and hook it up to your audio interface (if you have one) and then add the required effects after you record.

Learning guitar is definitely the best way, since emulating a guitar and making it sound natural is not an easy task and can involve a lot of work to get it right. It's probably easier to just run an ad on craigslist and find someone to do it for free/experience. That said, there are some decent instruments and sample libraries out there. I'd suggest going with a good sampler like Kontakt (which has some guitars included in its library and is much more versatile than a dedicated guitar VST), and take a look at some of the other third-party libraries, such as:

Pettinhouse

Indiginus

In addition to the RealGuitar mentioned above, you could also consider:

Chris Hein Guitars

Vir2 Acoustic Legends (expensive)

Vir2 Acoustic Legends is great.

The guitar in that video you posted sounds very unrealistic and is a pitch shifted sample player probably.

East West's Quantum Leap Gypsy module has the best flamenco guitar I've ever heard out of a VST, it could most likely be used for what you're going for. It's $400, though, you can get a pretty nice acoustic guitar for that much and it couldn't hurt to learn how to play it.

Yeah, the EWQL stuff sounds great.

EWQL has a buy-one-get-one-free offer going on right now, which makes it much more attractive. Also, FWIW EWQL products do require an iLok (additional cost), if that's an issue. And, they have a strict no-license-transfer policy, so you can't sell it if you don't like it.

that sounded great

you could always try getting a moog or MIDI guitar

the moog looks/sounds better to my ears

of course, this still means you gotta learn some guitar, but thats how you get the chicks =)

If any one can tell me how to sample a guitar i can sample a acoustic guitar and make some patches with my shure 57 mic!
I Also have a roland XV-5050 with some nice guitar sounds i can sample for y'all guys who want them!

Also like slayer 2 vst and reason for guitar!

I know that a Drum N' Bass group from Australia named Pendulum, who are VERY popular, didn't want to use a "guitar VST" because it has a fake sound and anyone can do it. So they use real guitars and it shows. Personally, I don't use guitars in my music because I know that the VSTs are really lame sounding and that I am not capable of playing one myself.

they were into heavy metal so i'm pretty sure they were playing guitar before they were producing. That flamenco guitar still sounds great. It is so hard to record an acoustic guitar properly that some vsts are better than the real thing even if you can play guitar.

Thanks for the replies guys..

And yes , I can 'play' the guitar , had learnt it for a year before , but that was 3 years ago.. lol.

I know theres a studio somewhere around town that has a electric acoustic , maybe I can pay a visit there..

And @ Alanzo , I guess I must agree with you , afterall I was playing around with FL keys and I was like 'wtf' ?
