Try this just for fun. Cut the portion of the guitar track from the 2nd verse and paste it into the first verse... then pan them left and right. The song will sound "wider". Just trying to help.

I appreciate the help! Yes, you are right, I just copied it and pitch shifted down a little (to give 2nd track a slightly diffrent sound) and then panned left and right. I will try that, thanks for the tip.

One question though If I cut the 2nd verse and paste into the 1st verse and pan that potentially will widen the first verse, I understand what you are saying, but what do I do about the 2nd verse, chorus's etc...

Sorry if these are basic questions, being a noob and all.......

I just wanted you to be able to see what a difference it makes when you use two separately recorded tracks so you could see for yourself if it is worth recording a new guitar track. Ideally, I would say just record another new guitar trackbut Short of that you can cut and paste the guitar track from the 2nd chorus to the first etc....By the time you are done you would probably wish you had just recorded a new
2nd guitar track though. The tone doesn't need to be exact either, IMO. Cutting and pasting is kind of tideous and even slight timing imperfection become more obvious.
