How can I get this guitar sound?

[lmv]

Sort of two questions really.

(I don't have a guitar and I can't play one anyway so I need a plugin for this.)

1) For the track I want to work on right now, I need a guitar that sounds like this:

The solo guitar sound I want begins at exactly 3:00.

2) What electric guitar plugins do you think produce a reasonably realistic sound? I have a few plugins or soundfonts that sound pretty good for an acoustic guitar part, but I have nothing that will give me a decent electric guitar sound. What do you recommend for that nice guitar sound? Not the massive, furious, super aggressive death doom medieval apocalypse style that seems so popular these days, just good old fashioned rock'n'roll. Anything?

TIA

That's actually a pretty simple sound in terms of the source guitar, but as with a lot of electric guitar tones it's more about the pedal/amp/cab combo than the guitar itself. Hopefully an actual guitarist can point you in the right direction for this particular sound.

Actually to me sounds like it was played using an ebow (device for sustaining a string infinitely) rather than being picked. You can hear it in the lack of picking and the slides. This chap gives a good demonstration;



Not sure what sample libraries/vsts there are (since I play and have the TC version of the ebow -the Aeon), but someone may be able to point some out.

That guitar sounds great and would suit me well too.
It's good that you mentioned this ebow thing because I did notice the lack of picking and the slides in the song I posted and I had considered adding it to my question.

As guitar player, who uses an Ebow, that sounds very much like an Ebow.

This might be your best bet?

Though, might be cheaper to buy a cheap guitar and an Ebow and do it yourself with plugins.
It is just sliding a finger up and down one string. (that Novemember rain solo, is very good and difficult to do with an Ebow, where changing strings can be problematic)

The TC Aeon is still dirt cheap (£25 at Gear4Music) in the UK at least;

$150 is a lot of money. I am very poor.

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but seeing that this is the Sound Design session, I was hoping that someone would maybe suggest an alternative, such as a synth or some instrument (a viola, perhaps?) with a little bit of drive. That could work I guess. I'm going to try that over the weekend. But I'd still like to receive recommendations for guitar plugins.

A sustainer? Sounds like something a plugin could do, quite possibly even better than hardware.

Either way, I am very far from the UK and I don't have a guitar to use with that fine gadget. I don't have one and I never will. I can't play it and I can't afford it.

It is a lot of money. Hence why I said a guitar and Ebow would be cheaper. Guitar and Aeon, even cheaper.
As I said, you don't need to know how to play the guitar, it is just running a finger up and down the string. You just need an instrument with one string.

I'd image, you could pull this thing off with a legato patch on a synth, with a suitable guitar type patch.

Or if it is for one song only, ask a guitarist nicely to record the part for you?

I'm blaming you for starting this thread and me having to hope my lovely lady isn't in when my Aeon turns up in the week. ha ha

That sounds awesome.
