SWOLA144 - I should use more strings

#SWOLA144 kept me coming back to my old groove/funk style. I tried, but the beats just kept on making me groove. I also thought I'd use the video to explain my usual process a bit more as well. I mostly record four guitar audio tracks and three camera angles. The camera footage is the same as heard in three of the tracks.
I pan two tracks 100% left and right and the other two tracks 60% left and right. I also widen the stereo differently on both sets of guitar tracks. My thinking is that this has their tones sitting in a different space to the drums and bass. I'm not an expert, but that's my approach.
My signal chain basics are as follows:
Guitar-Fender Stratocaster
Bass-Monterey PJ
Interface-Focusrite Scarlett Solo
DAW-Reaper
Plugins-BX Rockergain for the guitars and BassKnob STD for the bass

Here for my 3rd listen mate! Watched this this morning while having breakfast, such a cool entry! It’s honestly really awesome! Well done 🤘🎸🤘

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks so much mate. That really means a lot to me. I keep trying to attempt something new, but it always comes back to some kind of groove. I'm not complaining about that, but I will keep on trying to add new things to my limited skill set. Loving these weekly challenges.

[@GuitarHoarder]

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@zarochi]

I didn't know you quad track; that takes a heck of a lot of work! Great riffs; you got a good, heavy groove out of that Fender 🤘

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks 😊 I remember watching a video years ago where Butch Vig explained how he recorded the guitars for Nirvana's Nevermind. Since then I've always wanted to record multiple guitars with minor differences.

[@zarochi]

@@guitarfascination I always double track, but I haven't worked up the courage to try quad yet. It takes rock solid playing to pull it off 🤘

[@WyrmOnTheMoon]

Hey, your groove/funk style is topnotch, man! Stick with what you do well... except, of course, when you want to do something else! At the end of the day, it's your voice, and damn, it's a good voice you've got! I love hearing your entries, brother! Keep on keepin' on!

[@guitarfascination]

Thank you so much for the kind words mate. You’re one of the good ones 🙏
