Any tips for that price range?
This is the kind of music I would write with it, btw:
Thanks!

Changed the title so there isn't more confusion.
Meh, too lazy. Rather go for a vst at this point.Yes, I know
Learn your gtr chords & scales and have another valuable tool in life
I mean, I sure am interested in learning some more instruments at some point. I get most of my ideas from just playing and hitting a few nice notes in a row by accident and the going from there. Thus I think I would get even more and different ideas when playing instruments other than the keyboard.In terms of the core guitar sound, you may well already have something usable in a regular sample library - the first example has a ton of chorus and delay on it. It's surprising how good basic samples sound once run through guitar-style FX, amp and cab. The problem is with the playing style.
If you have a grasp of how chords and scales work on a fretboard you can do a reasonable job of simulation with the straightforward melody and chords, and even the bends with the pitch wheel. But you quickly get to the point that it's actually easier to do with a real guitar and amp simulator – and learning the fretboard means you have a better chance of not playing things that sound like a keyboard instrument. There a songwriting idioms that come from noodling on a guitar that simply don't come naturally on a keyboard. So, you wind up learning the guitar anyway.
yeah, that´s a good one, too . Been thinking about getting that one. But I hope for another 60% off at OTS this summer.....I mean, I sure am interested in learning some more instruments at some point.

I still want my cool sample gtr at the moment.
I think I found a nice one here - only 59$
I don´t get it when people ask about a vst and get answers like "learn the instrument".
Totally get it. We are still a log way away from genuine realism (if you have an ear for details) in samples.I based my answer on the first example the OP posted. Although that might be doable using a plugin rather than a guitar, you'd have to think like a guitarist to get a lot of the licks and flourishes in order to do a similar thing and have it sound like a guitar playing. And it would be way easier on a guitar (short of using a phrase library).
The second one would probably be realisable using something like Shreddage. But there's no single plugin that's going to do both effectively unless you've got a good grasp of idiomatic guitar playing. The irony is, is you have the idiom down, a stock sample library will go a long way. The dedicated plugins do very well on arpeggios and strums – but the first example strays a long way from what they do.
...so people know that I don't want to write country music or funky ska music.

I don´t play the keyboard but people don´t tell me to learn how to play the piano when I ask for a piano vst.
True - sounds cool! Especially if you use it in octaves, pan it and so on... Already got it 2 weeks ago.Spitfire's Peel Guitar can get fairly close to the sound you're looking for and it is almost free.
