80's Ballad Vibes

Hey guys!

In this lesson, we will play a chord melody mixed with some 80's vibes strumming.

The importance of sound choice here is vital to fit the track properly. We actually use a clean sound (it's a simulation of a Marshall origin) with two delays and a hall reverb within the chain. These effects were recorded entirely as my guitar sound and weren't added during the mixing process.
