Below is a link to an example of a playback I recently produced of Anna Kendrick’s version of “The Cup Song” which has a very prominent guitar part in it for which I used the Spicy Guitar VST plugin. Using the Spicy Guitar plugin, I can now include more realistic souding guitar lines in my songs. Without having to ask an actual guitarist.

Hey guys, in this post we’re going to test out three completely free acoustic guitar virtual instrument plugins. That we can use to create an acoustic guitar sound or an acoustic-electric guitars under $2000 sound within our computer.
The quality of these free plugins varies and we’ll hear what they’re capable of. We’ll compare all of these plugins using a MIDI track that I created on the Akai MPK 249 and I use the keyboard to offset the timing of the chords to make it sound like a guitar strum.
3. Spicy guitar
The first plugin we’ll look at is Spicy guitar by Keolab. This basically sounds like a cheap guitar synth even though we’ve done lots of work to make the MIDI track sound very natural by varying the velocity and the timing of all the notes, this is probably about as good as we’ll get out of this plugin. Surprisingly, this plugin does have a lot of presets and includes controls for reverb steel versus nylon string guitar picking position and much more, but the very fake guitar sound we get out of it makes it pretty much useless.
2. DSK
Next up is DSK guitars acoustic by DSK music. This plugin is slightly better than the previous one, but it still sounds like a fake acoustic guitar. It controls are a lot simpler to use. Giving us attack decay, sustain and release like a lot of the other DSK plugins and we get a level of control.
1. Ample Guitar M lite II
The best free acoustic guitar VST instrument plugin that we’ve found is the Ample Guitar M lite II by Ample Sound. This is the only free acoustic guitar plugin we’ve come across. It can actually decently replicate a real guitar. For controls we get stuff like panning with with the Dublin control, which I like for a stereo acoustic guitar and a bunch of various other controls. We can even do things like switch between open and Paul muted chords by hitting the CZO and D zero keys on the keyboard, which actually corresponds to C1 and D1 notes and our DAW because the keyboard is messed up. Even in the plugin the notes and labels are of the wrong octave, but they do play correctly. When using this plugin I like to keep it in keyboard mode, which doesn’t consider the guitar strings and notice on since it doesn’t have a full range up the strings anyways for playing up the neck.
This plugin also has a Strummer tool, which I don’t use since I tried to get everything now down in MIDI stead. I can also low tabs from a guitar pro format that other software uses. Last we get a few FX pedals to alter our sound, including compression, overdrive, EQ chorus, phaser delay, reverb and wah. If I were to actually use this plugin and a piece of music, I think I wouldn’t limit it to something simple like a single cord strum since programming a full acoustic strumming section in MIDI with the note offsets would be very difficult and time consuming, but overall the plugin does have a very decent sound to it.
Thanks for checking out this post on free acoustic guitar VST instrument plugins.
