For anybody who's interested, a bunch of stores have just started carrying my rock guitar loops in .wav, Apple and acid formats for use in your own recordings. A lot of the loops are taken from lessons done on GuitarTricks so feel free to just drop em in to your own recordings.
Right now we're on the front page of GearWire, Zzounds and our main loops site and in the next few months we'll be releasing loops in all keys and styles.
We've also got thousands of drum, synth and bass loops to complement them at PeaceLoveProductions.com.
Basically, just download 500MB per package use them royalty free with no resctrictions.

Rock Guitar Loops for Musicians
# 1
That's a lot of material!!!!!!!! (500 loops). I've never really thought about selling music in that way before. I am currently trying to write songs to be sold to recording artists but never really thought of selling loops. How did you arrive at the decision to do this? And what kind of people use your stuff? Small drum loops that can be chained together I can understand and samples of instruments I can understand but entire guitar loops that play for the entire length of a song (I only listened to one of the samples).. I don't understand how or why someone would use that. And also how long did it take you to get all that done?

You use em in either snippets or chain them together and use them in a whole song. Or you just drop a lead solo in or a background riff or chunking to fill in the sound.
Sorta like these ones. I used Jason's techno loops (at PeaceLoveProductions) and added in my own guitar loops afterwards.
Then with audio applications like Cubase you can transpose and time stretch them.

It probably took a few months in my spare time to make the loops. Ya just sit down at the computer and improvise to a drum beat while you're watching TV or whatever. The recording is the easy part...
Then you have to sit there and splice them up into 4, 8 and 16 bar parts.
I'm up to about 10,000 loops already but only have about 4,000 edited so far. I'm kinda warn out from doing loops right now so I'm gonna rest a couple of months then go back at it.
PeaceLoveProductions is going to cover mine exclusively for now, starting with the release of 120BPM loops in E covering Rock, Wah, Acoustic, Guitar Synth etc. Then every couple of months he's adding different keys and tempos. Then I'm starting my own site called AxeLoops.com later this year and offering my own with techno/rock backup loops to complement them.
Figure it this way. Most guys with home studios tend to write stuff that's very synth oriented. This way you can drop in an acoustic, rock or even synth guitar in the background or use the ideas to write a new song.
You just drop in 8 bars and copy and paste through as much of the song as you want. It's sorta like using GarageBand except you don't get the cheezy sounding "Band-in-a-Box" generic guitar loops that everybody else uses.
