Native Instruments – Session Guitarist – Picked Acoustic v1.1.0 (KONTAKT)

PICKED ACOUSTIC captures the rich, clear tone of the Martin 00-21, a small-bodied guitar with a Sitka spruce top ideal for melodic fingerpicking styles. Over the years, 00-21 have been popular with Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley and many others and have appeared on countless hit records. Our model, a pristine 1973 example, was used by a seasoned session professional and sampled using three different stereo mic settings for maximum versatility.

The Condenser (AB) mic uses two condenser microphones to produce natural stereo imaging for modern sound. The Dynamic (MS) uses a vintage dynamic microphone that captures ’70s rock and folk, complemented by a figure-eight tube condenser microphone for adjustable stereo width. And Ribbon (Blumlein) uses two ribbon microphones for a rich and warm vintage sound.

Whether you’re producing a track, a jingle, or just a demo, PICKED ACOUSTIC will get you started quickly. Choose from various selected rhythms, arpeggios and playable patterns in different styles and musical genres. Download the separate melody tool to combine loops and melodies into one cohesive, authentic performance. 

Then polish your playing with vibrato, percussive and lift-off movements, and advanced playing techniques such as harmonica and tremolo—each played with fingers or a pick in multiple positions on the fretboard. Add slides, and fret noise, ven improve your guitar’s tuning accuracy.
