Lo-fi hip hop guitar melody loop, clean jazzy licks with warm tape wobble, 82 bpm, 4 bars

About this sample

A bright, restrained plucked-string melody moves through jazzy mid- and upper-register phrases, with a quick 4 ms attack and decaying harmonics that give each note a clean, rounded pick tone. Its additive guitar voice uses up to 14 slightly inharmonic partials, band-limited below 5 kHz; the four-bar phrase has a subtle 18 ms offbeat delay at 82 BPM. A 4.5 kHz low-pass, 60 Hz high-pass, gentle tanh saturation, and 0.09/0.19-second delay taps soften and space the sound. Separate left and right pitch wobble at 0.40 and 0.57 Hz adds a slight tape-like drift across the 12.51-second stereo file.

Use it as a laid-back lead or chopped melodic texture in lo-fi hip hop, jazz beats, and downtempo around its original tempo, or try half-time arrangements. Pair it with your own bass and drums—the rendered file contains no bass—and leave room for the melody’s upper mids; trim or duck competing keys if they crowd the plucks.
