More than likely its a real guitar, From what I heard ALOT of artists use REAL instruments in there setup

man I still hope its from a synth, but they sound so real. Only reason that i'm not 100% sure they are real is because they sound kind of quantized..

anybody else know??

think i know that busta track you talkin bout, wit rah digga as well right?
yeah i think those guitars are real.... they do sound a little quantized but, to play all them riffs, its real simple... i mean, you dont need to know much guitar to play em so i'd say they real.
+ u cud check for guitar players in the credits.

Pro Tools.

Record a whole session and chop the bits.

yeah the busta track got rah digga on it, that beat is probly the best thing swiss beatz ever made, it's a perfect example of how velocity can make a instrument sound sick.

Not to brag but I have alot. of people that play live instruments. My whole family used to be in this band called Ipso Facto. A rock reggae group that was really big in the late 80's. The only problem is htat they really dont feel the hip hop beats. So its hard to get them to play the riff im lookin for. So what I started doing was just havin them play on to the pro tools and sampleing it back off onto the mpc. Then I just use what I want. This is alittle of subject my bad
