This short video shows the simple process behind the music for my YouTube intro. I start by playing the chord progression on acoustic guitar, in a gazebo whilst holding the curtain from swaying in the wind with my foot. The video has the chord diagrams included on screen for clarity.

Then a quick look at the Cubase project where the track was actually recorded, using DI’d acoustic guitar. This was double‑tracked, panning left and right to give it some width. It was pretty minimal, no effects, no mastering. The video ends with the finished intro exactly as it appears on my channel.

A quick behind‑the‑scenes look at how the intro sound came together.
