sample playing is a D major sample which has been transposed up
by two half steps. The net effect is very similar to playing a real guitar
with a capo engaged.

With a combination of keyswitches, single notes, strummed chords,
mute strums, body knocks, and the virtual capo, a wide variety of
rhythm guitar patterns and styles can easily and realistically be
simulated.

The Harmonics folder contains a variety of different types of
harmonics played by a variety of guitars. Artificial harmonics
(designated "Art Hrm"), harmonic chords (designated "Hrm Chords"),
natural harmonics, and nylon guitar harmonics are all included.

In some cases - for example, the natural harmonics and harmonic
chords - a real guitar is not able to physically produce chromatic
notes. In Acoustic Legends HD, the raw sampled notes have been
stretched to cover all notes in between the naturally available ones.
In this way, you have the capability to play chromatically and do
things beyond what a real acoustic guitar can do.

There are a number of alternate special effects provided alongside
the dry patches, such as chorused, flanged, tremolo, and distorted
versions of the original. These can be useful for unorthodox effects.
