Perhaps.. but they aren't just strummin' away on them like some rock'n'roll
or pop song, or i'd notice them in a flash.. I dunno it's just that sound
like takes some of the electronic quality out of it, i dunno..
now of course I'm not talking about bass guitars, etc.. like acoustic or
electric guitars just played live like. hard to pinpoint with words the
exact sound I'm talking about.

no way man.. I never said wrote it off.. just certain "uses" of it that are
not customary on here. IDM is not guitar music. (that I think whether or not
IDM has guitars in it or not can be agreed on unanimously?) I mean, guitar
music is total guitar strumming and stuff :)
The guitar can be used quite well I would imagine, because nothing else
sounds quite like a guitar, because you pluck the strings, and other things
you do..
but just strumming the guitar is like taking a 303 and playing a riff
without ever twiddling knobs.
