I have K4 and I need a good Electric Guitar library. Something good for general Pop-Rock-Metal things. I have Komplete 6 so I can use Guitar Rig and Amp Simulators in Logic. Any suggestions?
I'm not searching for an ultra sized library for lots of guitars, just something usable for small projects. Thanks.

Pettinhouse has some nice libraries. Even the freebies are quite good for the price Wink

I highly recommend checking out our library Shreddage and its expansion Shreddage X.

http://impactsoundworks.com/products/instrumental/shreddage/ shreddage-x

It's designed primarily for rhythm playing but sounds extremely realistic. It's also very easy to use, inexpensive ($70), comes with a custom ReValver amp sim with custom presets, and deep RRs. Check out the demos on that page as well as this one before you make up your mind Smile

I'm going to have to toss in a vote for both Shreddage and Evolution Strawberry.

Strawberry's good for leads (make sure to utilize the vibrato to keep it from sounding dull and lifeless) and mellow sustained chords, but I can't seem to get the palm mutes to sound good when doing rhythm guitar. The "palm mute" articulation tends to have too long of a decay, while the "mute" articulation has too short of a decay for what I like. I use Shreddage for rhythm guitars because it gives me a nice heavy "chug" on the mutes.

Soon we will release two electric guitars - Les Paul and Telecaster with a powerful Strum. The first demo will be available next week.

There is also Thrash from Sample Oddity, they have a free version called Thrash DI which is a non effected version that you run thru your own amp sims to get the sound you want. Its geared for Metal.

Not a kontakt Library but I'd recommend getting MusicLab's RealStrat or RealLPC. These Instruments are still unmatched for versatility imho.

I knew there was some grand reason I have been putting off buying an electric guitar library and now I know why.
