Dr. Mike Trubetskov explains why high-quality guitar covers can take extensive effort, using the main riff from Aviana’s “Obsession” as an example after practicing for days and needing up to 100 takes. He contrasts casual play-alongs with recreating production from scratch, including tight double-tracking, video, and immersion in the song, and outlines a workflow: find or create accurate Guitar Pro tabs, program drums from MIDI, and learn complex riffs by slowing down playback, breaking parts into fragments, looping problem sections, adjusting technique (including pick angle), and recording at slower tempos to identify issues. He recommends doing many takes and comping the best parts, notes studio punch-in practices, shares his guitar tone setup using a Neural Amp Modeller Tone 3000 capture, discusses production elements like choppy leads, pitch shifting, lo-fi textures, and heavy chugs, and emphasises working hard to improve technique and musicianship.
