Thanks for watching folks! I hope this gives you some ideas and things to try! 🎸

[@heypockyway6652]

Great ideas Chris, another colour to add to the palette 🎨
Would definitely benefit a look at your remote setup as I’ve just started on my home recording journey.
Look forward to hearing the results 👍

[@ChrisHarveyGuitar]

Thanks for watching man, I’m glad you got something out of this one! Definitely stay tuned for me next week, it’s good to know you’d be interested in hearing about the setup! I think home recording is more accessible than many think 😊👌🏻. In the process of planning the video at the moment so if there’s anything you’re interested in knowing more about then let me know 👍🏻

You have different sounds with each direction because you still need to work on your technique

Not too sure what you mean by this.
