Which file do you want?

• Electric guitar. The guitar part from a rock, metal, blues or indie song, pulled out of the mix. Good for studying tone, picking out a riff or sampling a clean lick.
• Without the electric guitar. Drums, bass, vocals and everything else. Play your own part on top, or leave a gap for a guest player.

What electric guitar does in a song

In rock and metal, electric guitar often carries the riff and fills the middle of the mix with distortion. In funk and pop it is usually clean and short, chopped into rhythm. In blues and jazz it may take the solo. Many recordings layer two or three guitars, panned left and right.

Players isolate it to learn a riff by ear, to hear how a tone was built, to record a cover with their own guitar, or to take the guitar out and sing over what is left.

What it gets confused with

Heavy distortion is the hard part. Distorted guitar spreads over a wide band, so some of it can stay in the backing, and a bit of cymbal hiss or synth can end up in the guitar file. Other lookalikes:

• Clavinet and funk keys. A clavinet can sound like a chopped rhythm guitar. See the Clavinet Extractor.
• Organ and synth pads with a fuzzy tone.
• Acoustic guitar if the song mixes both. Use the Acoustic Guitar Extractor for that one.

To take out every guitar at once use the Guitar Remover. To separate lead from rhythm, use the Lead and Rhythm Guitar Splitter. The Electric guitar file can also go to Audio to MIDI if you want a MIDI version of the riff.
