Do I just play it too sloppy or does it have something to do with my recording? How do I make sure that the lead guitar sounds better? I hope you know what to do. Thanks!

If you make the sound more edgy, you'll get a better result. ::Dutch:: probeer het geluid iets scheller te maken, dit krijg je het best door met je EQ te spelen::Dutch:: You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

What do you mean by pan fatb0t? @ Munta: I got rid of my reverb and my rhythm sounds waaaayy cooler now! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Sometimes around 35-40 % pan each way, experiment..... Pan is a huge part of getting a great recording. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

(use some eq) 2-Be careful with cancelations. And anotherthing is the rythm if you put some guitars in parael rythm (the same exact rythm) you can expect a strong and may be colorfull line, but not independency of lines.
