PRODUCER'S SECRET: Add MUSCLE to rock tracks with ACOUSTIC guitars - "Time of the Season" Cover

#GuitarLayering #TimeOfTheSeason #CosmicSpin
Want to give your music a little harder edge? Just add distortion to the electric guitars, right? You can, but it often muddies the whole mix. There's another way to add an edge that also spices up your tracks with organic texture and aggressive upper midrange: ACOUSTIC GUITARS.
Robert shares the little-known producer's secret, demonstrating how to layer acoustic guitars to add MUSCLE to your music. Playing his 76 Yamaha FG-151 (Nippon Gakki - Made in Japan), he adds two acoustic guitar tracks to his band Cosmic Spin's cover of the Zombies classic hit "Time of the Season."
