Part of this is music, and the rest is the noise a guitar makes when nobody is playing it.

Chords and single tones on one side; the handling of the instrument and its cable on the other. Handling noise is what a scene needs when a character picks a guitar up rather than plays it, and it is the part a loop pack has no reason to record. That is why this sits in a sound-effects catalogue.


At a Glance

  • 549 files, 549 sounds The same number twice — one sound per file
  • 2.8 GB across 549 files About 5.1 MB per file — the division is computed here
  • Three chord qualities named Major, minor and diminished — counted off the field, which names no fourth
  • Diminished is the odd one Major and minor are the pair an audience reads as happy and sad; diminished is the one that refuses to resolve
  • Handling as well as playing Guitar and cable handling are named alongside the chords, which is the half that puts an instrument in a room
  • Clean and distorted, listed apart Electric and distorted electric appear as separate entries, so the distortion is in the recording rather than left to a plugin

02What The Field Namesmusic on one side, handling on the other
Strummed chordsMajor, minor and diminished. Three qualities named and no fourth — a narrow claim, and one a buyer can check against the metadata file
Diminished chordsThe unresolved one. It is also the reason a set of chords belongs in a sound-effects catalogue at all: unease is a sound design job
Single tonesOne note at a time — the material for anything that has to be tuned to a scene rather than played over it
Electric guitarsNamed as their own entry, separate from the distorted ones
Distorted electricA separate entry again, which means the distortion was recorded rather than added afterwards
Guitar and cable handlingThe non-musical half: the instrument picked up and set down, the cable moving across a floor

An instrument makes more sounds than notes. A cable dragged across a floor and a body set down on a stand are what put a guitar in a room; the chords only say what is being played on it.
