Do you record a clean guitar with no effects apart from maybe distortion, is this guitar sound a sound that you would say normally use? or is it tailored just for recording? thanks Chris You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

For heavier tracks, I use less distortion that I might actually need. It gives the track a clearer sound and helps the guitar to be more present believe it or not.. For clean sounds, I often use loops though. Hope that helps! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Thanks Oh and also, the secret is to record 2 tracks of the same exact rhythm part. Once you have these 2 identical parts, pan them slightly right and left, you'll have a much wider sound. :-0 I always do that and it works so well!

When we record a heavy part we take the distortion down a little and record it many time and have many layers of these on top of each other and it makes it incredibly powerful. Some good tips from David. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.
