Have you ever had to play guitar on a song that doesn't have guitar in it? If you've never done it before, it can be a daunting task. Today, I'm breaking down my strategy for writing guitar parts for when a song has little to no guitar parts. Whether you are playing live on a gig, at church, or writing parts for an original song these strategies have helped me quickly come up with parts that feel like they could've been part of the track.
Be sure to grab a copy of my Quad Cortex presets through the link to my Etsy store, like the video, share it with a fellow guitarist, and subscribe to the channel, if you haven't already-
