Guitars in 'house' music...

[zoom]

I dont mind guitars in house/dance music at all. I am biased tho cos i play guitar, bass & drums.

Good guitar tune is:

The Mackenzie - freak out

I like the occasional acoustic style guitar - dont really know much about different terms, lol, cos I hated guitar muslic with a vengance pretty much all my life until about 5 years ago....


Anyone remember BT's track, called Blue Skies? There was a mix of that that broke down into a strumming guitar, and it still does it for me when its blended with such skill into that sort of progressive genre. I have quite a few now that have used guitars on the prog house scene, I think it suits it well.

Great knob off heavy guitars and blatent hooks in dance music, I cant say Im too keen on. I like the more ethereal and folky type chord things going on that space you out when thrown in the mix of electronic music.

good examples

sam ellis - club lonely
bandorra - guittara g (something like that)
Ill Disco - Keep the jam going
Deep dish - Flashdance (battered to death but a monster tune)

[blue jammer]

Deffo all the Balearic stuff

As mentioned already

God Within - The Phoenix
Whyte - Promises

And....

Marathon - Movin' x1000

Choooooon. I'll second and third that one.

I've also got 2 recommendations of my own:

Weekender - Sunday Session (beuatiful balearic guitar and one of my favourite tunes of all time: http://www.discogs.com/release/56623)

Chez Damier - Close (Derrick Carter remix) I think.
(I've got this one: http://www.discogs.com/release/112703 and it doesn't say it is him on the remix, however, it sounds like him and he did do this one:
http://www.discogs.com/release/20917)

I'll post a sample of the Chez Damier breakdown with the guitar riff in it shortly - i'm currently mp3'ing it. It absolutely rocks.

If theres one instrument I cannot stand its the guitar probably the reason why my hatred for oasis and all those other indie rock band outfits theres no place in a electronica tune for it either.

So it was, always think berry's '92 for some reason.

If it works in the tune, it works for me

D.B.M. - 'Real Dream' is one of my favourite tracks and the guitar gives it a lot of power

Ahhh yeah Jiglo - what a foooking tune that is.... good call

Just thought of another tune with a nice bit of electric guitar in........Dee Pattern - who's The Badman get in there!

Also that italian tune - Blender or something like that...think it might be called Troubled Jazz... got it some where..

[brixtonite]

Don't get me wrong... decent Spanish/Flamenco style in Balearic cuts - that's all good.

What I DETEST is power chords, metal/rock samples. And the prevalence in current 'house' music to throw em into the pot for the Ritzy crowd.

Nice one peeps for putting examples up on the thread - full credit ;o)

[lippiatte]

if you mean ripping off large chunks of rather large rock tunes (a-la Nirvana, radiohead, etc.).....then i say...

CHEEEEEE----ZZZZZEEEEEE
