Hello. Im new to the guitar world, and I'll like to have some guitar players as a rollmodel for me. The problem with that is that Im mostly a RNB and rap fan and have no clue what I should follow. Any recomendations for books or courses I should study would be great too. When I progress to a high enough level, I would like to go into Jazz/Funk/Soul music.
Also, Is it possible to make real sounding music with libraries like Konkakt 5 or is it only possible with a real band/orchestra... etc?
Need Help with choosing Acustic Guitar Players to follow

Funk/soul is a great place to start learning guitar, no need to wait...though I'm not aware of many acoustic players in those genres. Funk/soul guitar is as much about rhythm/picking/ghost notes as it is about notes & chords. Check out Jimmy Nolen (James Brown), Leo Nocentelli (The Meters), Steve Cropper (Booker T & the MGs), Curtis Mayfield, Prince...Gothim wrote:When I progress to a high enough level, I would like to go into Jazz/Funk/Soul music.

Your best way into jazz as a beginners is a simple blues like "Blue Monk."
IMO Michael Hedges was probably the greatest acoustic guitarist. A composer first & foremost, he approached the guitar as a portable orchestra.
I've heard people with musical talent and deep knowledge of genres/idioms create "real" sounding music with everything from real instruments to synthesizers to samplers to spoons to their voice and body. Lacking that knowledge, sampled instruments are much more likely to sound fake.
