Ok, my problem is I can write good songs (to my ears anyway !)
but as I'm not too good a guitarist, they always sound repetitive.
What I mean is I tend to play the same progression in the same way for the whole song.
I tend to write on acoustic as I feel I can get a better feel for the melodies and stuff, and that leads to me to use a lot of open chords.
I'd like a nice, thick, warm sound - is the best way to get this to play barre chords on one track, with open on another?
Or should I try to use many variants of the same chord on a lot of tracks?
The songs are quite simple ( normally I-IV-V or something with simple melodies) and I'd really like to have that "wall of sound" I hear so much about.
I've tried to record on a few tracks but I can't seem to get it, so I'm thinking I not only need more tracks, but more ways to play the chords - am I on the right track?
