Features

This page is an online guitar role split. Use it to isolate lead guitar on one file and isolate rhythm guitar on the other. The job is built to split lead and rhythm guitar in one pass.

Two guitar files

The lead and rhythm guitar separator writes lead and rhythm as named stems. You get two guitar files, one for the lick and one for the chords. Download each file on its own.

Comping versus solo

Keep the chords on rhythm. Study the lick on lead. Comping versus solo is the whole point of this split. Loop either file to chart the part.

Online guitar role split

Preview both guitar files in the browser. An online guitar role split needs no DAW for the first listen. Mute rhythm to check the fill. Mute lead to check the groove.

Split lead and rhythm guitar

Use this page to split lead and rhythm guitar from one upload. The lick and the groove leave the stacked guitar layer. Each role gets a file you can drop into a session.

Who it is for

Who can benefit

Lead players chase the lick. Rhythm players chart the groove. Producers duck the comp and keep the solo. The lead and rhythm guitar separator serves all three jobs.

  • Lead players

    Learn the solo from the lead file. Loop the lick and copy the phrasing. The lead and rhythm guitar separator keeps the groove off this stem.

  • Rhythm players

    Chart the comping from the rhythm file. Hear the upstrokes and the muted scratches. Write the changes with the groove on its own stem.

  • Producers

    Duck rhythm under a vocal and keep the lick. Or lift the lead file into a remix. Two guitar files give you faders for each role.
