1079 Free Guitar Sample Packs & Loops
While it might not get the same attention as the latest tech in software synthesizers, the guitar is still very much a part of pop music consciousness.
There are many ways to incorporate it into your projects, whether it’s playing guitar yourself, hiring a session player, using a VST plugin and MIDI controller, or otherwise.
That said, sample packs and loops still have their place, especially in electronic music genres, whether it’s hip-hop, pop, trap, EDM, or otherwise. And even if you can play guitar, they can sometimes streamline and speed up your workflow.
So, in this guide, we’ll look at the best free guitar sample packs and loops.
Orchid by Cymatics.fm
More than a mere guitar sample pack, Orchid features more than 3 GB of samples for trap, pop, dancehall, RnB, and more.
In creating Orchid, Cymatics gave careful attention to the demands of the listener. One of the biggest things they realized in the process of listening more broadly to hit songs was how much listeners care about how music makes them feel.
What they created as result of their homework is a deep library of melodic samples that are full of emotion.
Orchid includes a total of 450 samples – 15 808s and basses, 15 drum loops, 55 drum one shots, 17 FX, six guitar loops, eight hihat loops, 20 melody loops, 13 one shots, 14 percussion loops, and eight vocal loops.

Infinity Beta Pack 2.0 by Cymatics.fm
The Infinity Beat Pack 2.0 comes with over 3 GB of melody loops, vocals, drums, guitar loops, and more.
Note that the Infinity Production Suite (which you can find on the same page) costs $297, and there are only a total of 2,000 licenses available. Make no mistake – the beta pack is what’s free. There’s a download link towards the top of the page.
The beta pack comes with a total of eight guitar loops for pop, RnB, trap, house, and dancehall. They all have a layered, fully formed sound to them, and they sound great to my ears.

“Vibrations” – Guitar Sample Pack by Cymatics.fm
The “Vibrations” sample pack comes with pop, hip-hop, chill, reggae, and metal guitar loops that cover a variety of key signatures and tempos. Basically, it comes with a bit of everything.
The pack includes chord loops for building catchy chord progressions, and melody loops, which you can modify and alter to your heart’s content.
I counted a total of 20 samples in Chill, 20 in Hip-Hop, 20 in Metal, 20 in Pop, and 20 in Reggae. That’s incredible value for a freebie!
Most if not all loops are short, but they should serve as good building blocks for your tracks.

Distorted Guitars by Rhythm Lab
The Distorted Guitars collection was created using a cheap Chinese guitar, analog booster, and a TC Electronic VPD1 vintage pre-drive.
The guitar loops are certainly cheap sounding, and some are practically unusable given their frizzy, brittle, fuzziness. Not all are distorted though.
This could be a good one to use for a YouTube challenge maybe (e.g., “We tried making great songs with these crappy guitar loops”).
