Rock Star Releases Special Report Showing Guitarists How To Minimizing Mistakes While Recording

April 5, 2012 - PRLog -- Tom Hess Music Corporation announces release of special report to help musicians learn how to record guitar in the studio while minimizing recording mistakes.

“The best way to become a great studio musician is to learn to master all of the small details that are overlooked by nearly all guitarists when they practice guitar at home or perform live with their band. These small details may seem very easy when you first hear about them. However, learning to pay attention to them while recording can be quite a difficult process. Most guitar players do not even realize that working on becoming better at recording is a skill that can be improved just like any other guitar skill,” says Tom Hess.

In Hess’s special report, he lists many recording techniques for guitar players. Among the techniques discussed, he emphasizes the following points:

When recording chords for guitar, Hess says “It is essential for you to make sure that the notes in your chords do not become unstable. The strings of the guitar will vibrate differently based on the way you strike them with your pick. To prevent your finished recording from sounding very poor, you must stay consistent with the way you pick your chords. Pay close attention to this during every take.”

Hess discusses an alternative way to tune the guitar in the studio: “Do not tune your guitars perfectly when recording in the studio! Tune them a few cents flat. Sound strange? The reason for this is that when you strike the strings they will raise in pitch from the force of your pick. By tuning slightly flat, your recordings will be perfectly in tune rather than slightly sharp.”

When recording in the studio, songs are often made of many overlapping parts. For recording more than one guitar part at the same time, Hess says “Each time you record a track it should sound good ‘by itself’, and should be perfectly in time with its double tracked version. If you pay close attention to these small details while practicing your recording skills, you will be able to record your parts quickly in the studio and save your band extra money by not paying for as much studio time.”
