What it is
Soul Guitars is a Kontakt library (runs in the free Kontakt Player) built from 495 live-played guitar loops recorded in the warm, expressive style of 70s soul. Phrases run up to 32 seconds and are tempo-synced and key-labeled across a 50-130 BPM range, so they drop straight into a session without extra editing. The tone leans into clean, Fender-style amp warmth with rich 7th and 9th chord voicings, laid-back riffs, and expressive arpeggios recorded live by a single guitarist.
Who it's for
Producers working in soul, RnB, hip hop, and other groove-based genres who want real played guitar instead of a virtual instrument emulation. It suits anyone building tracks around chopped samples or full guitar phrases and looking for vintage texture without recording their own parts.
