    That was a good one, but I would have loved some more details on FX chains on guit channels and, most of all, reasons that pushed you to choose a certain sound on a specific track. I know, you gave us a lot and it's free, still... 😁

      This was specifically for the production of guitar parts, not for mixing, which is totally separate, you don’t want that when explaining guitar production.
      Also, choosing tones is totally specific to each individual song, but no matter what you choose, as long as it fits the song there’s no wrong answers! As long as you record it well, use new strings, use GOOD amps and GOOD amp sims, GOOD guitars, and play your parts very well (and in tune) it will be great!

    Man! I just LOVE what you do! Your sound is awesome. You are my favorite country music producer though your impact for me is more than country! Being a new producer writer, you inspire my work. I think I write great country songs but being a non singer and new in the business, I am afraid my songs won't get the opportunities they deserve. But I am going to stick with it and one day hope to collaborate with you. What a privilege and joy that would be. Fan and follower and long distance learner.
