How many of you guys use an Electric Piano as a substitute for an electric guitar? I've been doing this with my Lounge Lizard VSTi and d@mn the results have been amazing. Works wonders for funky $hit if you throw in some Wah and Distortion effect. Lounge Lizard actually has some really nice built-in FX for this. Give it a try if you haven't already and if your looking for a nice electric guitar sound. The leads sound beautiful IMO and convincing. I'll post an example later after work.

I know what you mean, but my entire point wasn't to replicate an electric guitar exactly because you just can't for the most part since I ain't using an actual guitar and amp, I'm using "Lounge Lizard" which was made with the intention to create Electric Piano sounds. My point was to get a similiar sound, basically a "substitute." Just as a clap can be a subsitute for a snare,etc... That's probably why it sounds a bit more synthetic in some instances of my beats. Such as in beat2 those chords have a synthetic sound to it, but I liked that, however on top of that, when I start improvising with that FUNK @1:46, it sounds more like a real guitar. If you hear beat3, there's more your typical Electric piano playing in the background and on top of that is basically a simliar EP sound with distortion/wah effect added. That first one and last one do sound pretty d@mn real though but I think that has more to do with how I played it. Basically I'm just trying to make an EP sound funky and use it like an electric guitar. It's something I definitely recommend trying, you can get real funky and have that live sound to it.

Those are nice beats 50Cal. I actually like that "I'm High" beat the most. Sounds chill, I like the Electric piano in the background and that harp sound. My kind of shit right there. Now that Ridah beat is str8 gangsta, nice WestCoast lead synth sounds. I like the bassline in that "In Cali" beat the best. The clavs are definitely cool. I didn't use clav sounds though, I used more Rhodes and Wurli sounds since that's what Lounge Lizard is more built for and ran them through lounge lizard's FX like Wah/Distortion and delay/reverb.
