The Sound You Love
How is that your favourite band has that big sound that your band can only dream about? Whoever they are that sound you admire has taken a lot of work to get to the point where you and other fans notice it.
Leave It Out
One way to create a big rhythm guitar part is to play fewer notes. This is the opposite of what you might think.
The art of creating big guitar chords is to play chords without the third note. So for example a C chord consists of the notes C-E-G. Leave out the E and play the C and the G notes. The distortion will now sound smoother and cleaner, a touch of compression and you are heading in the right direction. Double the rhythm part and pan it left and right.
Electric Or Acoustic?
You are thinking electric guitar I bet, but why not try using an acoustic guitar as well? The Rolling Stones did this.
