Spice Up Your Easy Guitar Songs with Guitar Accessories
There are many exciting things about learning how to play the guitar. The process of learning to play an instrument alone can be a lot of fun, but the guitar has many unique qualities that other instruments do not have. The guitar, being a stringed instrument, can be manipulated to produce a variety of sounds and electric guitars have even more options in sound effects. There are many ways for guitarists to add sound effects to their songs by merely flipping a switch or touching a button. If you want to spice up the easy guitar songs you play in your practice sessions or with your friends, find a few guitar accessories and begin experimenting with the sound effects your guitar can produce.
An easy guitar song can quickly be transformed from a simple set of notes into an exciting new sound with the help of a few sound effects. Guitar amplifiers can be adjusted using knobs to change the volume and the reverb achieved by an electric guitar, and some amplifiers have additional features. You can adjust the treble and bass levels to add depth to your sound or to make your notes sound harsher. Do not be shy in experimenting with sound effects - the best way to learn how to use them is to try them out yourself! By trying out various sound effects you can decide which ones you like and which ones you do not.
Another option in guitar sound effects is the pedal. Pedals come in many different varieties and can make many changes in the sound of your easy guitar songs. Distortion pedals, for example, distort the sound of your guitar and can create many new sounds. Delay pedals can be used to produce echoes and delays made popular in the 1980s. There are countless varieties of guitar pedals so the best option may be to visit a local music store and take a few for a test drive to see how they sound. You no longer need to suffer through boring practice sessions, running through your notes and chords in torturous monotony. Even easy guitar songs can become new and exciting with the addition of a few sound effects. The more fun you have during your practice sessions, the more likely you will be to continue practicing and the sooner you will be able to move past the beginner level and transition into more difficult techniques.

How To Get A Big Guitar sound
You first need to start with a decent sounding guitar tone. If the distortion sounds questionable and buzzy, then you need to fix that first and foremost. Its much easier to get a big guitar sound form a sound source that sounds good to begin with. Crap in equals crap out. No matter what you do with it. The use of short delays is good for widening up the guitar sound across the stereo fields. This technique is very effective. Your tone needs to be very broad with extended high and low frequencies. This is a must for a huge sound. Your depth is very important. Long delays and reverb can make the guitar sound like its being listened to in a large room. A slap back delay defines the size of the room that the guitar is placed in. For example a delay of 500ms will create the illusion that the guitar is being listened to in a space that is 500 feet long. This is because sound travels at a speed of one foot per millisecond. Compression is very important. I don't have a setting, because you need to use your ears for this. Each guitar/song will need different settings. But remember that compression helps keep the guitar consistent in the mix space. So use compression for this.. You try low tuning your guitar. record one take with standard tuning and one take with low tuning and combine them both for one huge guitar sound. Double, triple, quadruple track guitar takes. Pan them far left and far right. This is by far the best way to achieve a huge guitar sound. You can also clone/copy the guitar track onto a new track and then transpose then entire track down an octave and combine both tracks for a huge sound.
This is my favorite mic'ing technique to get that big, thick, and chunky guitar sound: (Note; you need 2 mic's for this technique). This technique will put the "power" in your power chords.
Place one mic close to your amp's speaker and compress that signal with an 8:1 ratio settings, a fast attack, a semi fast release and a threshold of 6 to 20dB below the highest peak of the audio level. This high compression will cause your guitar sound to pump.
Place the 2nd mic and place it 5 to 9 feet away (room mic) from the amp's speaker. Compress this signal with a ratio of 5:1, a medium attack, a slow release, and the threshold is the same as the other one, between 6 to 20dB below the highest peak.
Combine both sounds together and using the room mic just enough to give it that thick and chunky sound.
