Guitars in Psytrance: Yes or no?
View this Thread in Original format

I'd have to say I'm a pretty big fan of the occasional bit of electric guitar if it suits the song and it sets it apart from other songs (e.g. Sun Project). I know a lot of people really dislike it though so I was wondering what you guys think. Well more specifically I'm talking about Electric guitars not the acoustic stuff in say I volume-Cosmic Tone or Jeenge-Infected mushroom. Although I have to say I really like Acoustic guitars in psytrance tunes too when they fit well.
Some good examples are:
Aries-Talamasca
Aztecs, Mayans and Inca's-1200 mics
Mescaline-1200 mics
Dance of the witches-S.U.N. Project
War dogs-Juno reactor

Haven't really heard any particuly bad examples though.
Capitalizt
yes, but only if they are used in a kickass way.

"1200 Mics" absolutely Pwnz with guitars in their mixes.

Very very very rarely. 99.9% of the time guitars cheese up a psy track, especially heavier rock guitars.

If used correctly I like them.

Infected Mushroom - Bombat

I'll probably get ted on for liking that track. :rolleyes:

See now I actually liked I'm the supervisor a lot (cities of the future is very iffy though... sometimes I think it sounds great other times ty).

B.P. Empire had the jazzyness combined with the bounce, converting vegetarians had the emotional tunes and I'm the supervisor actually sounds a lot like B.P. empire in a way. I really really hate Vicous Delicous though.

Is that even Psy?
sljiva
Well, not whole album. One half of the album is psy and the other is mixture of psy with ambient, nu-metal (not sure if this is the right term), rock and hip(trip)-hop. I can see how some people don't like it, but I find it very enjoyable. Not one of the best from them though

Same.. It works on some tracks but i really prefer without, you can make perfectly good psytrance without having to use all kinds of stupid effects, or guitars and what not.
