Orange Tree Samples has launched its latest Evolution series virtual guitar Texas Twang, featuring the sounds of a custom Tele-style electric guitar.

Performed and recorded by Nashville-based session guitarist and singer/songwriter Chris Bullard, the Kontakt Player instrument is geared for modern Country music.

Orange Tree Samples Evolution Texas Twang

Evolution Texas Twang features a custom single cut Tele-style guitar with dual single-coil pickups. The bridge pickup gives you that nasally twang perfect for percussive chicken picking and bright crunchy tones, while the neck provides you with a juicy, full sound just right for mellower tones. Because we recorded both pickup signals separately you can dial in any blend of the pickups you want.

The guitar was performed and recorded by Chris Bullard, a seasoned session guitarist and emerging Country singer-songwriter. Chris Bullard’s experience as a touring artist in Texas and Nashville adds an authentic vibe to the guitar samples. The clarity and finesse of his guitar playing are audible in the many articulations included in the library, from picked playing to articulations particularly useful in Country music, such as finger plucked articulations for chicken picking technique.
