Hey everyone,
I'm delving into ripping sounds for SNES Roms and there is one sound that has eluded me thus far. Can anyone think of an SNES game song that has a twangy, undistorted, chorused guitar sound? think, like intro to a Western movie or like 80s rock soft parts. I have found lots of plucky jazz guitar sounds and lots of rock guitar, but I just want something a little calmer that isn't acoustic. Any thoughts, leads?

Is it important that it be from an actual game? I can't think of a game with a sample like that, but you could make it yourself or have someone make it for you. The SNES "sound" is pretty much just a matter of sample rates, tight cutting / short looping, and that amazing cheap delay effect.
yeah , i actually did make my own already, but i kind of wanted to use sounds from games. the closest I found was one from Mario RPG...
I thought it'd be cool to do an entire album using only found sounds from games, using them in very unconventional ways (i.e. donkey kong and kirby sounds in a very dark piece)
I just finished replaying final fantasy 3. There is definitely some guitar in that. Shadows theme is acoustic guitar chords if I recall correctly. Also I think mystic quest had some guitar. I'll check some of the other carts I've got. I remember from way way back in the day playing something that had that twangy thing you are talking about.
My mind went to shadow's theme too, but it was more of a jew harp kind of thing with acoustic notes. I think the mario rpg clean guitar is gonna be the one, i'm gonna change it's envelope a little to make it less clicky and muted.
thanks for the advice all!!
TRY SKITCHIN'
I can't barely find a youtube video of Skitchin for SNES...was there a SNES one?
Hey man, if possible can you upload a .rar with the SNES samples you've got so far?

No need, you can get some great sf2's to start with here:
I recommend Plogue Sforzando to play them. It's free, and works great with these formats, better than most of the native SF players in the DAWS I've tried.
Then, download Polyphone to edit and modify them. I've made some custom envelopes to change how some of them sound, but my project is still mainly gonna be, use sounds from existing games in new and different ways.
I'm going obscure, but it might get the job done.
Try J.League '96 Dream Stadium. I've got an example .spc file containing the sample:

Or, you can try this .spc file from Nomark Baku Haitou:
