Drums and the metronome aren’t recorded; guitar notes from the backing are.
A LITTLE GUIDE
How do you play the online electric guitar?
On the electric guitar, all strings go into one amp with Clean, Crunch and Distortion characters and Gain, Bass, Mid, Treble, Delay and Reverb controls. Because distortion is applied to the whole chord at once, power chords (E5, A5, G5) sound the clearest. Start at a low volume.
First exercise: power chords with palm mute
Choose Distortion and pick the E5 chord. Hold Shift and play eighth notes with ↓: the side of your hand lightly mutes the strings at the bridge, and the sound turns into a short, punchy “chug”. Then let go of Shift and hear the difference with open strums.
