Layering Soulful R&B Guitar on a Track

Here is how I approach layering R&B guitars on a slow-tempo groove track. Each rhythm guitar part fits with the others.

Nice to hear this, Rafa. And thank you!

[@karimgandoura6124]

I am a Big fan of Paul Jackson jr i like these kind of stuff. Thanks so much. 🙏

[@thebomontellano4996]

When people ask me why I never play with a Capo, my answer is because I know my chords,, voicings, and substitutions. ❤ Thank you for the lesson.

[@owendoconnor]

I always leave a capo on my dashboard so that I can park in the disabled spot.

[@AsaelBlanco]

[@LaZanzaraReturn]

Magic touch

[@GigaAndy-db7bw]

Spot on lesson, as always! Thanks Andy!

[@thesoulapostle]

This is one of the best videos I've watched this year

[@MrBlaze9225]

Congrats Andy, your sub count keeps going up with the constant quality videos :D keep it up!

[@peterpslis]

Awesome. Thanks for what you do 🙏🏾

[@wesboundmusic]

Exactly "my cup of tea" and especially the muted picked single notes with intermittent little triads or such, are what I hope to get to call also more of my fortés. Love, how you broke it down and also talked about giving the parts some thought prior to recording them, awesome! (and _soooooo tasty_ , wow!)

[@AndyDacoulis]

Glad to hear this! Check out Paul Jackson Jr. for inspiration on that style

[@wesboundmusic]

@@AndyDacoulis , yes, he's been an inspiration and idol since my teen days and I've always been aspiring to his rhythmic feel, that was much more important to me on the guitar than churning out a great solo. That, and harmony, chord progressions etc. You cover all these areas here and do it with style, if I may say so, Sir!👌

[@emmanuelbwalya4584]

Favorite tutor❤ I love your content

[@frankgoodmanbuzzholland7517]

Beyond smooth. So tasty, Andy. Very inspiring.

[@Web4Panama]

Very nice

[@impulseproman]

That channel have my subs

[@samueljacob3428]

Can you give info about what gear you use? Your tones are lovely.

[@AndyDacoulis]

Thanks Samuel - I use the Line 6 Helix and record direct into Logic. The tones come from the Helix.

[@saigonproducer]

@@AndyDacoulis sounds like a very very clean setting, no gain at all?

[@peterkelly8357]

@@saigonproducer I have Andy's Helix presets, they're great

[@jesussavesrick]

Would love to see your “rig rundown”. Pedal board, amp.

[@AndyDacoulis]

I use the Line 6 Helix for my tones. I record direct.

[@SalsaBailaProductions]

Love the palm muted stuff yours are tight;)

[@AndyDacoulis]

Thank you sir!

[@Samuel-vq6id]

Such wonderful work. Can you please tell me me which recording software you’re using and if it’s available to used on my windows pc

[@AndyDacoulis]

Thanks, Sam. I use Apple Logic but you can use any recording software. I have seen a lot of people using CUBASE on Windows. You might want to look at that

[@rvmusictv0122]

Sarap❤🙏

[@freddynun]

Sounds amazing! How do you get that sweet tone?

[@AndyDacoulis]

Thanks Freddy - I use the Line 6 Helix for my guitar videos.

[@kelinjohnson7421]

Whats your guitar setup? it sounds so nice smooth and clean.

[@AndyDacoulis]

Thanks - I use the Line 6 Helix for my videos. I record direct.

[@paulrhodesquinn]

Super tasty!

[@nicorentzsch9946]

what's the chord at 7:04 (E - A#- D#- F#)? is it just an inversion of the F#13 chord?

[@AndyDacoulis]

Great question - yes, it's exactly that: F#13 played on the middle strings. If you play those exact notes on the top 4 strings, the shape will be more apparent.

[@josephvotta6698]

Great stuff, Andy- Thank you! But please use less tremolo on those chords - OK?

[@AndyDacoulis]

haha yes
