A lot of variations for VB-III (and any other synth, I think)

And here is the rest of the tutorial

All started finding by ear with Scaler and AAS Strum-GS a cool accompaniment guitar track
then I duplicated it and set in sync all the other instances

the Hammond was driven by 2 Scaler instances, using the workflow mentioned above, i.e. changing patterns on the fly, by ear and to taste and sending the whole performance to a further audio track: this way you can have Hammond parts more variable, alternating peaceful fo furious measures

The routing

The accompaniment guitar
A note about the Love Lost bank: I find it full of riffs cool for prog, not just for love song

About EZbass I usually drop the Toontrack Audio Sender on the guitar, but in this case I used the Hammond track to have the same variations of peaceful and fast riffs

The EZDrummer line came from the bassline through the Bandmate feature, as usual

The solo guitar is my loyal Triple Attack by Xpand!2

N.B. I don’t know how they did, but this distorted and sustained rocky guitar is amazing because the easiness to produce a Larssen effect :heart_eyes:

In the past I tried the only 2 plugins that claim to deliver that effect and no one worked, while this one works like a charm

and there is the result: Long Train
