This is how “Release” sounds with distorted electric guitar in drop C!

You can hear how much different it sounds in comparison to the acoustic guitar version. IMO anything can be played on acoustic guitar, but it can be challenging to replicate the authenticity of some songs on one instrument.

In those moments, during MT sessions, I always try to make the music as authentic as possible while still achieving patient goals, but sometimes I’ve found that it’s also been good to lean into the strengths and the timbre of the acoustic guitar. That means changing the dynamics, the arrangement, etc. to fit in a solo acoustic guitar context, rather than being expected to sound like a metal band.

What do you think? Have you ever experienced something similar? Let me know down below!

Happy riffing! 🎸
