There are several ways to hear a two-part guitar harmony as you play it. You could invest in a looper or use recording software, such as Reaper. Check out the video I livestreamed where I show you everything you need to record guitar at home. My favorite way to do this is to team up with a friend who plays guitar and take turns playing different parts. If you haven't harmonized with another guitarist before, you should totally give it a try. Feel free to share this lesson video with a friend and you can each play a different guitar part at the same time. You'll amaze yourselves as to how magical it sounds.
To add a bit of theory to this lesson, we are harmonizing entirely with thirds. Depending on each dyad, the notes will either be major third or minor third intervals. Whenever you want to get a minor sound with a nice harmony that displays a lot of consonance, playing a major sequence 3 intervals above it will always give you that sonic stability. The result is an insane, dual guitar, face-melting experience.
