The exact opposite. For leads, I would rather kick it off and have one big fat mono lead coming down the middle. Havinh it on for rhythm parts, it widens the sound live and gives you a fatter sound without losing much of the tightness. It's a worthy trade off IMO.

I think it’s a waste to double track a rhythm if you aren’t using different sounds for each track. At that point you might as well just duplicate a single track and eq them differently instead of the weird phasey stereo widening effect of a double tracker. That’s just me though
 
A decent second guitarist is the ultimate double tracking technique.

Sadly, this has to be sad: I know that you don’t like my playing, my tones and my mixes, but shouldn’t you be spending more time feeding off Andy Snead/Colin Richardson/whoever’s teat right about now?

As opposed to constantly tearing me down, I mean.

Life’s too short, I acknowledge you have superior tones. But your writing sucks, so I think I have the edge. Can always hire a studio, hiring songwriter’s is crazy expensive

Can I back that statement up? Yes, I think I can:

But hey, the mixes suck, eh?

I’ve never shared one Thing that ive actually “wrote”….never has once been my intention. Theres only so much time in the day, and anything that is difficult takes time: my time over the years has been spent more in the pro audio world. On that note, stop crying, Jesus Christ. No one is tearing you down. Literally, all I said was that it doesn’t sound like a double tracked guitar to me, is that really all it took to ruin your day? I don’t know Colin Richardson, or sneap either, so I’m not sure where that came from. I never said one thing about your playing, or your mix, or anything. Jesus Christ, what a whiny ass Democrat.

OK, sure. I’ll take that as constructive criticism and try to not be a snowflake.

Also, I’m neither a Republican nor a Democrat. I’m a confederate from the long dead kingdom of South India (not to be confused with southern India).

Peace. 🙏
 
Apologies all for the self-aggrandising post earlier. I suck, and I should learn to accept my place in the world.

Up Metallica! Up Maiden! Up Pantera!

Unnecessary.
Uncalled for.
Untrue (apparently, since the dude is from India for Vishna's sake.)

Tell me you believe in hydroxychloroquine without telling me that. 😂

Im just sayin, I never see anyone on the right that that’s big of a snowflake about a comment someone made about them. Atleast no one I know anyways. Also I didn’t realize other country doesn’t have left and right leaning politics? So yes, it could very well be true.

On that note, I think OP Saw that I meant no harm with my comment, I simply just don’t feel like it sounds like a double tracked guitar, I have no underlying viewpoint or whatever with that statement, literally take it at face value.

You're not serious are you? 🤣

A certain 'someone on the right ' got pretty snowflakey just the other day when a certain woman suggested people were leaving his rallies halfway or that they weren't that well attended. Or remember to what great lengths he went in 2017 to prove everyone wrong about the low attendance of his inauguration?
Even without Stormy's testimony, that's small dick energy right there. 😂

Oh, and about your "other countries" comment, sure there are left and right parties in many countries. It's just that most of them aren't as ridiculously polarized as in the USA.

Look, I have no dog in this race either way, but as I've mentioned before here, I call BS when I see it. And plenty of snowflakes on both sides to be found.
And yes, I'm no fan of either type to be honest.

It's never as good as just recording two tracks and panning one hard-left and the other hard-right.

It's those slight imperfections between the two takes that make the magic.

+1

for recording, i don't know why it's even in question.

When did guitarists get so lazy they can't play the same thing at least twice
 
Guys, let's keep politics out of it in this sub-forum, especially now in the current environment.

Thanks. :thumbsup:
