The 7 Best Free Guitar VST Downloads of 2021

Guitars are back, baby. Whether you’re talking electric or acoustic, the guitar renaissance has come to all genres of music. But what if you don’t know how to play guitar, and you don’t have any guitar players around to record? The most cost-effective solution is to use a free guitar VST, or virtual instrument.

You can find isolated guitar loops out there on the internet, but it can be difficult to make a random clip fit into your pre-existing song. By contrast, virtual software instruments use libraries of sampled guitar notes, playable with your MIDI keyboard within any DAW.

Remember: Different guitar plugins are suited to different musical needs. Maybe you want the warm, dry sound of a classical guitar for your lo-fi bedroom pop track. Perhaps you’re working on an electrofunk number and need the bright tone of a Stratocaster to cut through the mix.

To help you find the guitar sounds that are right for your next hit, we compiled a list of the best free guitar VST plugins that you can download and start using in your productions today. The following software covers a wide variety of guitars: electric, acoustic, classical, lap steel, 12-strings, and non-Western stringed instruments like the Chinese moon guitar (yueqin) or the Greek bouzouki.

Note: There are two kinds of guitar VSTs: Instruments and FX. Virtual instrument plugins are used on MIDI channels to produce guitar sounds, while guitar FX plugins (such as amp and pedalboard simulators) are typically used with direct input (DI) guitar recordings. This article is all about different virtual guitars.
