Steinberg’s Virtual Guitarist 2 (VG2) occupies a curious corner of music tech history: an early, well-designed “auto‑guitar” instrument that gave producers instant, playable rhythm parts without needing a session guitarist. It bundles realistic articulations, rhythm players/styles, and chord‑driven pattern playback—making it invaluable for fast songwriting, sketching arrangements, and teaching basic rhythm concepts. Steinberg supported VG2 with large ISO installers, style libraries, and documentation, and long after official retail life it remained useful in DAW workflows for those who prized speed over obsessive realism.
