- How to Effectively use Native Instruments Session Guitarist 2 - Strummed Acoustic:
This library is amazing! It gives you the ability to add authentic Acoustic Guitar to your songs. It’s got different strum patters, different articulations and it’s all in a nice to use interface. It’s all there. In this video I use Logic Pro X, but other DAW’s such as Ableton, Pro Tools and Studio One 3 will all use the same concepts.

Really well done! Thank you so much! You answered all the questions I had!
3 years later and your tutorial is still helping us - thx!
Exasperating and very useful at the same time! Thanks for sharing.
That was super awesome, great video man
Thanks for the description, Q, appreciate your efforts. Cheers!
THIS WAS INCREDIBLY HELPFUL! Thank you so much.
Duuuuude! That was super helpful. It's no longer confusing. Thank you.
Super helpful! Please keep making videos, thanks!
i loved this video! you were extremely helpful!
This so helpful! Thanks bro! Great job!
5 years later this was still really helpful! Thank you!
"let me stop this.. wait, how do I stop this?" made me laugh while learning!
Great info thanks a mil man really helpful!
great work buddy, keep it up, helped alot :)
Best explanation I've found for this instrument.. definitely helped me understand how all the parts of it work together.
3/4 the way through I thought you had skipped the part I needed help with the most , The triggers.......Thanks so much , glad I watched the end. Although I have delux now!
I wish NI demonstrated their own product as well as you did. This was incredibly helpful.
That’s for sure. This shows a versatility to the product that you have to really stumble accross.It’s a bit of work, it maintains that musicality and realistic tone that is missing from a lot of the other guitar VI’s, and why these session strummers are such a go to. It instantly doubles and triples potential usage by the ability to truncate ans offset the patterns.
Great video. I've employed this technique myself solely through trial and error, and this is the first video I've seen demonstrating it. I've read a lot of negative reviews about NI guitar engine and the fixed patterns. It goes to show that if you stick at it, you can pretty much make whatever patterns you want. 👍🏻
Exactly!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Acoustic guitars on average are strummed in a typical song so it makes perfect sense to have realistic human player patterns that you can still trigger in a unique way. Most libraries sound so dam artificial when strumming this was honestly probably one of the only ways to get realism. I dont feel limited by using strummed acoustic whatsoever so yes; once you stick at it you can make ground breaking patterns.
Huge help. Thanks for the video.
Brilliant 🤩
Thanx a lot for this tutorial. Really helpfull.
Great video, Thanks!!!
Thanks JD.
Very usefull, thank you !
Absolutely! 💯💯💯
FIRE BRO!
Hey JD ..i followed the same instruction explained by you but everytime i trigger a note my Rhythm won't start on time ..i tried that slightly behind the grid concept but i fail ....please let me know what exacy I'm doing wrong...thanks in advance
thank you for explaining its realy nice !! im debatibng on getting some Kontakt libraries en Kontakt now with Black Friday . im just a hobby music maker and had to quit after many years due illness but now slowly coming back and want to buy it this time . and more other stuff and Kontakt itself and this video helps alot because I want to create a nice little band music (drummer guitar bass vocals ) and this tool is awesome now I see . wish NI would make more videos like this because it makes the library's so much powerful and full potential add you as a sub and thanks !!
Great tutorial, thanks! I am going to stick with the strummer and hold off on guitar lessons for now. Could you try an example where you change to a 2 or a 6 beat bar in the arrangement. I have been struggling to get cyber strummer cat to go along with that move. It seems to like only 4 to the bar.
Does anyone know if it's possible with any of NI's Strummed Acoustic Instruments to turn off the "single note chords"? I use it live and would really like to play my own bass or guitar except when I play a 3 or 4 note chord.
Hello, can you tell me how to put STRUMMED ACOUSTIC 2 in Contact 5, I get an error when adding No Library Found
Thank you!
Is it possible to change the speed of the pick attack? I mean the way it comes from the 1st to the 6h string. Can it be slower or faster?
Wondering if you can help me out. The following error message continues to appear, regardless of how much HD space I clear out on my MacBook Pro HD. Installation has been prevented
You do not have enough free space to install the products
.38 GB required on “ Macintosh HD” Please free an additional 8GB
I've checked every possible online fix solution and forum available but still cannot find a suitable fix solution. Still awaiting NI tech support help. Thanks in advance!
The only thing I can’t figure out is if I change the pattern it then changes the first half of what I wrote to the new instance just created.
Great video! I would prefer to compose Acoustic Strummed parts by playing them on a keyboard, as opposed to manually insert midi notes as you did. But I can't figure out how to make the tempo of my patterns, as I play them on a keyboard, match the tempo of an existing song, in bpm. How is that done? As I play them within the song project, the patterns derive their own tempo and are not in sync with the song's existing tempo. The closest thing to possibly remedy this is the "sync to host" function but that does not do the trick. What is the fix?
what about tempo changes in song??? does it follow ? or its fixed?
can it just be played normal without writing in all type progressions? just wanna play on the keyboard
alguien que comparta el strummed acoustic 2 full + update y patch por favor
I can't get it to work right. 15 years of producing and I can't figure it out. At first C1 was triggering, Then C1 triggered D1, pressed song play and C1 triggered F1. I deleted everything and reloaded, it won't play anything. I deleted and reloaded again and now C1 is always triggered no matter the note I play to trigger.
Does anyone know how to get this to NOT loop... and just give 1 strum (diamonds) for when we need that? Can't seem to figure it out yet. Thanks!
Hi
Can I make my own chords by changing a single note? I do not have a keyboard, so my question is if I can takt a chord and drag and drop a single note from ex. A to G, but keep the rest of the chord as it was. Hope it make since :)
Can anyone rell me in Strummed Acoustic how to play only single strums. For exanple, hitting a C chord and it only plays a down strum without a continous strums?
Can someone explain why the countdown was done with a voice aid? at 16:37
How to change the tempo in the guitar?
Thanks for the video! I just bought Strummed Acoustic, but I doubt I will use it much. I was hoping it would be easy, fast and user friendly, but I hate these external solutions. I just want it to be part of my Logic session, not a separate session I need to set up and trigger.
It’s awesome using the s61 or s88 keyboard...it’s a no brainier..
Personally, this video helped me to decide to not get NI session guitar. It just looks time-consuming and complicated. I'm better off just recording guitar.
Hey dude this was a super helpful tutorial! My only issue is that I am not able to trigger the different strum patterns or change ups by using the trigger keys D 1 Etc. Have you ever had this issue?
Hey man! I haven't, but send me a screenshot on facebook of Kontakt 5 and Logic and I'll see if I can help ... facebook.com/iamjdmusiq
Thank you for this tutorial, it was very helfpul dude !
PS : you can be waaaaay faster in Logic using shortcuts and little tricks....Let me know if I can help :)
Dude, you dont need a sticky, you can make notes in logic (top right near the loop browser) that way they stay with the project!
Thanks a lot!! I really appreciate your effort. I just wished it was a lot easier to customize patterns in this plugin. If it wasn’t for the realistic and beautiful sounds this guitar plugin produces, I would not even bother to work with it. Truly, thank you!!
Thanks~
Thanks for your video! Once I've completed all of the programming, is there anyway to render the midi into a wave file, so I can close te plug-in and just work with the wave file? Thanks.
Just export the damn thing as a wav. And delete the channel
Nice
I just need Atless 5 vary simple strum pattern..and It will fill my entire whole life in producing music.. But i found not even one that match for my music.. 😢
Hi! I would like to know if there's a way to write my guitar in MIDI so the program can read them...It's necessary a keyboard in order to use SA2?
Hey man, please, did you get the full version or are you using a Demo?
Hello, can you tell me how to put STRUMMED ACOUSTIC 2 in Contact 5, I get an error when adding No Library Found
Menn I can't figure this thing out. When I play a C chord that's supposed to sound lower than my G chord, the C sounds higher etc. I can't make a decent chord pattern that actually progresses the way I want because the chords seems to mix in height randomly.
Hi Rudy this plugin emulates a real guitar so it plays it the way it would on an acoustic guitar; for e.g C is naturally higher than G in a normal 6 string(or 12) guitar thus it sounds that way
To play a whole note (and avoid searching for patterns to accomplish that whole note) just use the yellow key switches. Put the correct key switch (yellow) in the piano roll on the beat while having the chord trigger notes just before the beat...by putting the note just before the key switch you tell the key switch which note to play...
God bless you
Does it have different guitar?
allright allright allright :)
Quick tip.. For the song flow, you could use the whole note with a force stop key below making you flexible to use the notes wherever you want
how do i force stop?
@@geekat it has it's own key mapping for it.. You could discover once you play through the key range... It's somewhere along the lower octaves.. Use that key map to force stop wherever needed
Do you know how to change 4/4 pattern to 3/4? Please help 🙏
there's a couple of ways to do it. (1) you can use one of the 3/4 patterns and those will match up with the 3/4 timeline and (2) bounce the parts of a 4/4 pattern to audio and then cut/stitch them to make the 3/4 parts or loops
why can't we simply input on our patterns of when we want it strummed? instead we have to grab from preexisting banks..super complicated
Can you strum your own chords or is it just the loops and patterns they give you with this?
That is exactly what I'd like to know.
aight cool
can i just play my own guitar melody and use it in my piano roll instead of using these premade guitar loops?
i have the same question
No, unfortunately only play pattern. This is why they called it "session". I hope they'll modify it in the future...Good alternative is Amplesound guitars, to play your own notes and have realistic sounds.
The new version "Deluxe" has been released! Now you can also play your own music.... Go to see on the website from Native Instruments.
Hello JD! I agree with Jason, you explain Session Guitarist well, thanks! Question though, I LOVED how you cleared the Pattern Browser and CHOSE which patterns you wanted........... but can you SAVE this At Home Preset?, I never caught that in your video. OR do you have to re-create this process whenever you want to work on that song, with the various patterns? Thanks for reading!
thx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great explanation and Tutorial. It also help me to decide whether to get a guitar plugin from NI.
This is a total mess of a plugin however - not user friendly at all. Hoping Toontrack will add a Guitar to its EZ line. It will blow this NI guitar out of the water. It takes way too much to build such a simple strum.
do I have to purchase kontakt 5 to use this?
U can also use it with Kontakt 5 Player
JD Musiq hey thanks for the reply. Is that included for free on Logic X?
@@Runaverse It's a Kontakt Instrument made by Native Instruments. www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/guitar/session-guitarist-strummed-acoustic-2/
all i want to know is if i can put a capo
Editing is your friend.
why cant you just play it i personally have this and never use it.....I heard the picked one you can just play it on the keys why they didn't make this the same i don't know
..its too bad theres no 4 on the floor strum pattern, ,,learning to fly tom petty style,, guitar......
" So... on that note". I died.
The Strummed Acoustic 2 library has a fine sound, but it's good only for 4/4 rhythms. It's pretty weak for anything like 3/4 or 6/8 or what have you. For 3/4, is just has a few mostly lame patterns, imho. For me was a waste of money. I should have just bought the Picked Acoustic Library (which I did later). Much more useful and versatile.
I thought so for a while too but then realized that you can customize 4/4 patterns by shortening them by a beat and making it to feel really nice. I write and arrange in 6/8 pretty often and so I have come to appreciate Strummed Acoustic in this way.
@@marceljoseph1063 Thanks. I'll have to give this a try.
Great video...fix the music...voice is quiet and music is way too loud..
Not so bad, but no way to end a piece correctly… (I did not find the way)
as feedback please try to no speak when playing the instrument.... otherwise is your voice what we hear
Hate this plugin. The only reason I got it is bc I thought you were able to customize your own strumming pattern. The patterns on it are boring and cliche.
Brother erase that video, is to confusing because you are not sure of what you’re doing yes no yes no. If a person is learning or is the first time using it this video will confuse them.
Beginner lesson
cool but still kinda suck only play what they recorded and chords not good. its like playing same chord other place. why not record all strings and you play 6 note and it strum it lol like quitar easy or use those notes to pick easy. they just record bunch of but not actually we need lol
A bit of a cold?
seems a lil unprepared... still good info tho
DUDE! Get rid of the dam background music
Really a quite confused tutorial. Sorry.
Agree. Really hard to follow.
bla bla
bla bla bla, where is the sounds ???
Better to learn Real Guitar
Nicht gut vorgeführt!!!
Stop laughing for no reason man
