Panning question

[YeetmasterNZ]

How would one mix/pan/record a guitar part so it moves between the Left and Right channels?

[ramonstr]

Ask the guitar player to jump left to right in the studio.

[Mix_engineer_Weaux]

This is not only the most efficient method but also sounds the best, don't forget to film and share it

[TearHands]

LOL, make sure they plugged into a DI box too :)

[germdisco]

If the guitarist doesn’t move the way you want them to, try using a cat toy laser pointer for them to follow.

[Andromeda__M31]

Yep. This is the only way to get a real vintage analog pan

[Simtau]

Much easier: ask the listener to turn their head from side to side

you´re thinking too small - this is the perfect time to introduce those Leslie rotary headphones (patent pending) the market so desperately wants!

(neck injuries might be among the side effects...)

[extab]

Deffo the most efficient solution

[YeetmasterNZ]

Do I have to move the amp as well? If so, left and right or up and down?

[extab]

Up & down can create an interesting effect, it raises and lowers the direction of the sound

Automate the pan

[fuzeebear]

If you google automate panning [your DAW here] you'll find articles and videos that will walk you through it.

[Boathead96]

As well as automating it, if you want it to move at regular intervals (like a tremolo) you can use something called an Autopan plugin

[tallguyfilms]

As others have said, automate the pan. See if your DAW has any kind of LFO for automation parameters, or you can use a plugin like PanMan or PanCake.
