    Hi,

    I have most of VSL, including Vienna Suite, plus Kontakt 5, Stylus and Omnisphere. But I need to be able to play and build high quality acousted guitar melodies and strumming textures. Any suggestions? Concert guitar?

    cheers,

    Neil

    For strumming, nothing beats MusicLab's RealGuitar.  It comes with both nylon and steel options.  It is the best strummiing program out there, and it also provides excellent solo sounds (meaning leads and finger pickings in addition to strumming).

    For purely lead playing, Acoustic Legends HD by Vir2 has good nylon and steel samples.

    I use both but if I only had one, I would pick realGuitar.

    If you decide to buy it, I can send you some tips that will make setting up realistic strumming much easier.  There are a couple of very simple things that are important but may or may not be clear in the manual.

    MuscLab's support has always been great, also.

    AGM and AGT from Amplesound are the best acoustic guitar library I've come across. They've got plenty of demos and turorials on their webpage, and the instruments are really versatile. It's quite easy to achieve realistic results, both for strumming, fingerpicking and soloing. All demos and tutorial files are available as downloads for studying in your DAW. I can highly recommend these two libraries.
