Imitating electric guitar

Any ideas on an orchestral instrumentation to imitate the sound of an electric guitar?

    What do you mean by electric guitar? Like lead guitar? Perhaps a song with the sound you are looking for might help.

    Plucked and bowed string simultaneously + some woods for an edge to the sound?

    Just brainstorming.

    I've been fooled at one point or another by:

    • unison bowed violin, trumpet in cup mute
    • unison trombone and soprano sax

    What Robin said, but think about mixing in some high oboe.

    Thanks, those'll do nicely.

    Or just get Yngwie Malmsteen

    Cavallino Rampante
