guitar players...

[penguinabc123]

do any other guitar players enjoy jamming overtop of electronic music?

lately ive found myself playing overtop of trance/dnb/electro

just playing whatever fits, or if i like the melody ill learn it.

wasnt sure if i was the only one.

I love jamming out to progressive house. My shredding is too sloppy for dnb... but I want to buy an arsenal of effects pedals to do some work with a live PA artist on some techno.

for dnb i like to chop up the rifs, sounds good to me :)

I find that chopping some power chords or something sounds ok with techstep, but I much prefer the sound of precise metal-style shredding over dnb.. except liquidfunk. Then it's all about the soulful lead work.. which is beyond me.

o i didnt mean chopping chords, i meant instead of like one flowing rif to keep like one quick rif, then a slow progression into another quick rif,
hard to explain typing lol.

like a metal style rif, then travel along the scale into a different rif

Well I guess I can't speak "personally" but this singer/guitarist guy I'm workign with has written tons of riffs and vocals over my beats. apparently he really likes it and everyone is saying it sounds pretty damn good over the house.. hardcore breaks.. dnb ..

Ive been told doing guitar over quanitzed beats is sorta hard so I tried to keep them live not quite so snapped, and/or used loops for that liver feel.

Hes gunna make a trip out here and record next week Ill see how it goes!!

I try my best.
I have a beautiful older guitar with beautiful sound..... and so far, all I can seem to play with confidence... is the star trek theme and the main song from Lexx.....(dissapointed)

I'll play records and guitar over house breaks or funk.
it's a great way to learn new songs or to do remixes on the fly.
It's just a challenge to stay in key as you need to keep the quartz lock on with the pitch of the turntable at zero. if you are using cds a master tempo control really comes in handy.

^^i dont have anything fancy like that,

i just play tunes from my comp really loud and turn on my amp, lol.

if nothing else, my amp is fancey :)
