I have used the comping method. Generate 5 or so tracks from the same RT and stack them in the DAW. Then I used volume envelopes to play the parts of each track that I wanted. I used this on THE BEST CHRISTMAS song on my music page.

I started with one track.... had a squanky part in it so I generated a second..... and ended up repeating that 5 times to get the solo you hear in the song. I really haven't used this technique much since then. At least not with 5 tracks. I think I have a few songs with 2 tracks and those are piano tracks IIRC.

For most guitar solos that I record, (live playing) they are either one take, one shot recordings or in other cases, there's some punching going on.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
