What you will find

Guitar loops are short performances recorded to a tempo: a funk lick, a strummed chord progression, a lo-fi jazz phrase or a washed-out ambient texture. They are a quick way to bring a live instrument into an electronic or hip hop track. Free ones come from community uploads, Creative Commons archives and producer packs given away as samplers.

Fitting a loop into a track

Start with the key and tempo on the card, when the source states them. Loops in a minor key usually work over a track built on the relative major too. Roll off the low end below about 100 Hz to leave room for the bass, and carve a little space around 2 to 4 kHz if a vocal sits on top.

Guitar loops often contain a recognisable riff, which matters for licensing. A loop from a community site is only as clean as its uploader’s rights, so the verdict on each card treats uploader-asserted licences with care.

Questions

How do I change the key of a guitar loop?
Pitch-shift it with a formant-preserving mode, and stay within two or three semitones so it still sounds natural. Further shifts make strings sound thin or muddy; re-recording or choosing another loop is often better.
Why does my guitar loop drift out of time?
Live players speed up and slow down slightly. If the loop's length doesn't match a whole number of bars at the stated BPM, warp it to the grid at the strongest beats, or let your drums follow it instead.
