Process
I recorded the rhythm guitars first. Then found libraryowl's pell, which sounded like a fit. Cut her pell to size in GarageBand.
Instead of recording my own lead guitar, I decided to see if there were suitable guitar samples in ccMixter. I looked at urmymuse's uploads (since I was more familiar with his submissions). Found something sounded suitable. Converted it to my track's tempo. Aligned the tracks a little, made some EQ adjustments.
