Samples are a great starting point for music creation. I love using them, I love making them from scratch. They could make a song or beat come to life if they have a great sound, if they loop well and if they have a certain liveliness.

I created two free guitar sample packs which received quite a lot of exposure. The third pack is my most comprehensive and is called Electric Space Guitars. It was made for Loopmasters and is available on their web store. They do offer a free demo you can download instantly and a tutorial which explains the concept behind it.
