Description :
Jazz Anthology Guitar extends the Jazz Anthology range with a highly realistic Kontakt instrument purpose-built for classic “4-to-a-bar” acoustic archtop jazz guitar comping.
Masterfully recorded at the iconic Sear Sound studio in NYC, the instrument includes 6 mic positions (including a vintage Gibson GA-50 tube amp), 20 mix presets, and comprehensive FX processing. From quintessential swingin’ single note lines to full chords, Jazz Anthology Guitar delivers an essential component of the classic jazz rhythm section with elegant simplicity and convincing results.

A New Level of Authenticity
Jazz Anthology Guitar expands the Jazz Anthology range with a new Kontakt instrument purpose-built for creating realistic acoustic archtop jazz guitar performances in the style of the legendary Freddie Green.

Instrument
For this library, we recorded a classic 1947 Gibson L-5 archtop guitar (provided courtesy of the vintage guitar experts at Retrofret in Brooklyn, NY). The instrument was recorded acoustically using an array of vintage ribbon and tube microphones, as well as through a restored Gibson GA-50 tube amp via a floating pickup.
Chord Arranger
The Chord Arranger is a helper tool that allows you to store and recall voicings for use in Playable Chords mode. There are 24 chord slots and each slot can store one chord. There are 30 pre-made chord arranger presets included, and you can store up to 30 user presets too.
It is a useful tool for quickly changing between voicings that, while authentic to the guitar, may be difficult to play with one hand on a piano keyboard. The included presets also make it easy for non-experts to easily access authentic jazz guitar chord shapes that are true to the style.
The Chord Arranger is not a sequencer, nor do the chords stored need to be used in any particular order. Rather, it’s a library or virtual notepad for storing chord you can draw upon as needed in any order.
