Folk Styles and Guitar Presets

The sound bank covers 12 folk styles, with 95 guitar presets spread across them. Applied Acoustics Systems describes the collection as a way to move between contemporary folk sounds and their original roots, with each style inspired by well-known artists in the genre.

Because the presets are built for Strum GS-2, they are designed to be played inside its session guitarist workflow rather than as standalone sounds.

Strumming Patterns for Your Own Chords

Good Folks includes 84 strumming patterns that can be played with your own chord progressions. This makes the bank useful when you already have harmonic material and need a guitar part that follows it.

The patterns are a practical starting point for songwriters and producers building folk arrangements, whether the goal is a faithful classic feel or a more modern take.
