That's not possible.
You need to have the multitrack to separate instruments. With an mp3 file, you just can't do that.

not really possible buuuutt closest thing i came to was using Adobe Audition, central channel extractor which was really good at taking out vocals and rums and stuff, that was in the central of the panning spectrum, works really well, havent tried in a long time that was years ago but im sure technology is better now

Even if you could, it would sound like crap if, if possible. What is the motivation for doing it?

Removing or isolating specific instruments from a mixed audio track is a challenging task, and it's not as straightforward as removing vocals. While there are some software tools that claim to isolate or remove specific instruments, the results may vary, and complete removal is often not achievable without affecting other parts of the audio.

One approach you can explore is using audio editing software with spectral editing capabilities, like Adobe Audition or iZotope RX. These tools allow you to visualize and edit the frequency content of an audio file. However, even with these tools, removing a specific instrument entirely while leaving others intact is challenging and may result in artifacts or undesirable changes to the overall sound.

Another option is to look for commercially available multi-track versions of songs. Some music producers release stems or individual tracks of their songs for remixing purposes. If you can find a multi-track version of the song you're interested in, you can mute or lower the volume of the guitar track to create a backing track.

Keep in mind that using or manipulating copyrighted material may have legal implications, so ensure you have the right to modify and use the audio tracks as you intend.

It's important to set realistic expectations when attempting to remove or isolate specific instruments, as perfect separation is often not achievable with current technology. Experimenting with different approaches and tools can help you find a solution that works for your specific needs.
