After searching for good free guitar plugins here and there, I finally came up with a couple of dope ones that will sound at least similar to regular guitar instruments.

Another is that the Tab Player supports fingering, chords, articulations, looping and other markers in the loaded tablature. An example of the supported articulations includes Strum, Harmer On/Pull off, Tremolo Bar, Legato; slide in and out, Vibrator, picking and lots more.
