Q: what sort of instrument do you use to fill in the chords in songs? The chords usually seem full and chordy but i can't hear what instrument is playing them. Is it some synth?
A: sometimes you can get magical results by combining 2 different ones. sometimes the results are even more magical if you sort of only play half the chord with one of the instruments. The trick is to just pick an instrument you have, then, go through the entire song and very carefully and inquisitively just sort of test the waters to see where you can get a word (note) in. i call this the sprinkle method, which has its advantages and disadvantages, but, the advantage is that sometimes the natural blending effect makes it sound like you have more magical instruments than you really have
