    Low cut filter in your DAW. But you also may need to start with a "bright" sound on your guitar and amp. Panning can also help as well funnily enough, no instrument should be dead-centre.

    You can also try recording the part clean, making a copy of the track and using a plug-in amp distortion on one track while keeping the other clean. The clean track shouldn't have to be loud in the mix, just enough to bring the that brightness back in.
