[freepats] Feedback regarding the new electric guitar preview

[strixSF2]

Hi Freepats Mailing List!

I have tried out the guitar preview samples, and I have a lot of feedback
to give about them.

After downloading the sample library, I took the loud samples from the pack
and assembled a .sf2 file containing 12 samples. Without using an
amplifier, I noticed that the samples were about the same quality as the
existing Flamestudios samples. Using a clean amplifier, the samples sounded
great, but I noticed the same issue that affects almost all free software
guitar sample sets when used with a distortion amplifier. With higher notes
(above around F#4), distorting the guitar results in an unnaturally short
attack that is unlike the typical General MIDI distortion guitar sound.
That being said, these samples are already just as good as the Flamestudios
samples, and when the sampling is done, these samples might be even better,
as different articulations might result in more natural attacks.

Also, it would be nice if the slap articulation is sampled, as we don't
have any free software sample sets of this articulation yet. A CC0 muted
guitar set would also be useful.

Thank you for reading this feedback, and I hope it's useful.
