Taken from his Guitar Production 101: Pop Arranging Explored course, in this video Gregg Fine shows how to layer distorted guitars for a bigger, fuller sound in the mix.

Whether you’re producing pop, or any genre, layering distorted guitars can help to add some “meat to the bones” of your mix. Gregg Fine explores how using between 2-6 distorted guitar parts all playing power chords can beef up your production.

In this video, Gregg is demonstrating the technique in Logic Pro X. You can use any DAW of course on your way to creating something both musical and head turning.
