Chords for Making Lofi Trap with Super VHS

[Em] I feel like it's [F#m] been a while since I made a lo-fi beat.
Recently I was emailed by the guys [D] over at Baby Audio,
[Bm] asking me to try out their new Super [A] VHS lo-fi plugin.
And being [F#m] that I do love me some lo-fi,
I was eager to hop on that opportunity.
I also got them to hook us up with checkout code JRENT25,
[Bm] so you guys [F#m] can get 25% off of your purchase if you want this plugin.
We're [Bm] also doing a contest giveaway for three of my [A] subscribers.
There will be an entry [Bm] link below.
Contest ends February 6th.
Today we're just going to cook up a lo-fi trap [G] instrumental.
[Dm] Something with a [F#m] similar vibe to my [Bm] slideshow track.
[F#m] With some chill Rhodes chords and a flute.
[G] Let's get into the cook up.
[C] I opened up these Rhodes in keyscape,
[F#m] and I'm going to lay down a simple chord progression in A minor.
_ _ [Em] _ _ [F#] _
_ [F#m] _ _ Here's what I [Em] came up with. _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [G] Now it's time to add that sauce with Super VHS.
The plugin is pretty simple and sleek looking.
[F] It has three knobs, four sliders, and a button.
Wash is [B] basically just reverb.
Drift is pitch drift.
[G] It gives the sample that wobbly effect.
Heat is saturation.
Shape is a bit crusher.
Static is self-explanatory.
[F] Mix controls the mix level of the effect.
And out is just the output volume.
[B] The magic button is a chorusing type of [G] effect.
Now let's play around with the plugin and get the effect we want.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I applied an EQ to take out the high end click [N] and boost the lows. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I made this hat pattern. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I applied some EQ and reverb.
Here's what it sounds like now.
