What it is

Jazz Guitar Octaves is a deeply expressive Kontakt instrument from HAVE Audio that captures the signature octave-playing technique made famous by jazz archtop players. Recorded through a classic jazz amp with a close mic on the strings, it delivers both amplified warmth and natural acoustic string detail. The library includes two playing styles - Thumb and Pick - each with multiple articulations for authentic phrasing.

Who it's for

Jazz and neo-soul producers who want a genuinely playable jazz guitar tone they can drop into a session and perform in real time. It suits composers scoring cinematic scenes, lo-fi jazz producers, and hip-hop beatmakers looking for live-sounding guitar hooks with a smooth, singing tone.
