By definition a guide tone is fundamental tone used in the song be played. Common guide tones for western music are the 3 and 7th. Bebopers like the extensions. However, even in music using only drums a guide tone can be the bass drum or another drum as long as the tone is clearly defined. This is harder to hear but it still exists. In modal music, the guide tones are very few. But the timing is simple, when one wishes to play "inside" any style guide tones will cause it to occur. Dude, guide tones can be used in all music.
