Anyway, I'm just not a good enough guitarist to make the songs I write really flow melodically, and I don't know how to combine strumming and fingerpicking.

Let me know what you think. I can take it.

Thanks,

That was really nice.

I'm a newb "recording engineer" wannabe. I use Reaper, but I took a look at the Korg docs, and it looks like you can copy tracks. If you double the guitar track (copy/paste like), you will increase the volume without pushing the levels too high. And recently I have started using (a little) compression, and that can sometimes do the trick without having to redo a track. I don't think compression will work this time, but doubling the track might. Maybe try that.
