Hey - here's a new video of me messing with some chords and my loop pedal - soloing with fingerstyle and slap - hope you dig some of it.
Cheers

PS It's snowing in London - I'm staying in to play bass! |

I am interested in trying looping myself. What looper are you using? |

They both go for about the same price, but I believe the Jamman has removable memory that will let you greatly extend the loop time. I'm hoping to try them both at soon.
Thanks for the info and the video. Keep up the good work!  |

2. I have the RC20XL looper, the new one with 16 minutes of sample time and overdub/delete. I'm seriously considering selling mine, especially since so many of you seem interested in getting loopers. Drop me a PM.

Cheers for watching

| | | Mike, I've been a bit critical of your playing, or at least your submissions, in the past and can say you're finally getting somewhere. While there were a few cringe inducing moments(slapping) this was pretty nice. It seems like you were more relaxed and it came across in your playing. It always felt like in other videos, sound clips you were holding your breath the whole time you were playing making you sound too...urgent is the word that comes to mind. Good job on this one  |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Brixton, South London | | | Thanks Peter - I've got a long way to go but things are sounding a lot better these days - it takes time - sorry you didn't like the slap stuff but no offense taken - I know it's all mattter of taste and that's hopefully where I'm headed - thanks for the feedback.

I'd like to hear you playing the same fast solos at half of the speed they're played at- they sound like they'd really sing and have great flow on a slow groovy loop like that if they were played slower, so they felt more like phrases than licks....there's a jazz guitarist that comes to mind but I can't recall his name.
It's still cool either way, and you've got chops galore | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
