It’s also a great tool for producers and even guitarists! This library isn’t just for composers, though it is very easy to use in the context of trailer cues, video game arrangements and other massive productions. The result of this intense design focus (and two full years of research and development) is an extremely playable and realistic instrument. Rather than trying to cover every possible technique or style, it is focused entirely on rhythm playing in a rock/metal style. So yeah depends on what you are really after when you say rock, Sorry I've aksed more than actually answered but it is a point that is pretty crucial.Shreddage is a DI guitar sample library like no other. I'd advocate for you to simply learn the really thing yourself, The quality of budget gear is excellent these days. It really is both areas that are critical to nail whatever you are going after, Strumming and jangly nonsense is a cardinal sin hehe and sweep picking, palm muting in numerous slightly differing angles and pressures in relation to the bridge can be the difference between something being a Godzilla sized groove beast riff that djents and meh. *Since most are simply DI'd for multi sampling, It is more of a case of finding what works for what you want including dialling up the type of pedal(s) > head > mic'd cab (or combo) after getting the palm muted thing down, Some pinch harmonics and such from various key switches. Most of the collection is 25.5" scale length.

I have plenty more in between the 30" Schecter and the shortest scale I use and tbh do not really like except for the one guitar I have in the form of a Gordan Smith flying V which 24.75". Personally I have a few guitars an octave lower and sometimes just a bit sharp of that (none of the strings are unwound), The two out of my collection which excel at this are an Ibanez M80M 8-String which has a scale length of 29.4" and a Schecter Hellraiser C-VI 6-string but with a scale length of 30". So if that is what you have in mind the 8 string shreddage KONTAKT library would do the trick as would RealEight which have been mentioned*.

which is about where the father's of "deathcore" started from Despised Icon, Legends as are the other aforementioned bands amongst plenty of others to me personally). and put into a blender with Agnostic Front, Earth Crisis, Hatebreed, Terror.etc. Shreddage the original easily covers that whereas never versions we're created with the extended range/down tuned to at least drop B (B-F#-B-E-G#-C#) and so on in mind (for the djent, prog, technical brutality type of thing, slam DM/tech DM and the somewhat what went from nu-metal into scream then to metalcore and is now currently known as deathcore, Just take Dying Fetus, Cryptopsy, Suffocation.etc. It depends on what you have in mind when you say rock,
