Hello, I have been learning in online sequencer for over 5 years and I am going to give you some tips if you are looking for a good and realistic sound on the guitar. I warn you if you are a beginner that this is complicated at first but do not get frustrated, after practicing you get used to it.
All the advice I will give applies to this sequence:
To start, we will begin with the lead guitar. To get the best sound with the lead guitar I recommend that you make a clone of it and put classic reverb on one (more or less 65 but you can vary it if you want) then put distortion (limit) to maximum and then make some adjustments to the equalizer, lower the highs and lows a little but leave the mids intact. Then set the volume to the same volume as you will set on the other clone (the volume can vary depending on the general volume of the sequence, in the case of the sequence I set the volume of the two guitars is 1.25), then put delay and that is the last thing. Also one thing to keep in mind, when you put the delay on it will only sound good when you are in double tempo, that is, if you are in a sequence of 80 bpm you have to change everything in that sequence to 160 bpm, which would be double (80+80=160)
Now, with the other clone what we are going to do is set it to the same volume as the other guitar with classic reverb and then you will set the rhythm reverb to maximum, when you want to do a boost effect on the solo you can change the rhythm reverb to the lead, this will make it sound more like if you were using the bridge pickup on a real guitar, then set the distortion (limit) to maximum and lower the treble a bit. Leave the rest the same, don't use delay or bitcrusher. As a final tip for lead guitar, use multiple markers to simulate a vibrato but that's a bit more complicated to explain, I don't want to make this thread any longer than it already is so if you want me to explain it let me know.
Now that we have the configuration, what we will do is make the melody we want with the guitar with relatively high bpm for the delay and we must remember that everything that one guitar does, the other one does as well, that is, the guitars must be identical in terms of notes and markers, the only thing that should change is the configuration but I already showed you that.
Now that we have a good lead guitar, let’s move on to the rhythm guitar, there are several ways to make a rhythm guitar but I’m going to show you the one in this sequence, first you have to make a clone of the acoustic guitar (sustained) and to this clone you have to put +10 detune (not to be confused with +1000) if you don’t know how to do this, you simply do it by pressing shift and clicking the detune bar, then put reverb nova at 50 or so (depends on taste) and then distortion (limit) at 50 or so, then I would recommend that you lower the treble equalizer quite a bit (-43 approximately. this also depends on taste), the rest in the equalizer doesn’t change much, then put it at 1.25 volume. then with the other clone we are going to do the same but instead of putting +10 of detune we put -10 (I chose this number but if you like how it sounds you can put both a little more, for example -15 and +15 if you like) then, we put a clean guitar and put reverb ripple to the maximum and put 0.50 volume, then lower the mids and highs a little and raise the bass a little, do not put distortion or anything else, now you have to make the rhythmic melody you want and You have to make the 3 rhythm guitars that I showed you (clean guitar, acoustic guitar and acoustic guitar 2) do exactly the same thing, they have to have the same amount of notes and the same markers, as in the case of the solo guitar that I showed you.
That would be all, if you have questions write me or send me a private message. If you did not understand something you can see the sequence that I left so you can see the guitars. Also if you are making a sequence and you do not know how to apply what I explained you can put it here and I will try to help you with your problems.
