Daniel Thomas Guitar- Live Looping Improv C Minor, 7/4

[EstevanMusic]

lol weird.

After seeing this I got inspired to use a slide to play Indian style. cause I usually just down tune a major 3rd on all strings so i can do the crazy sitar like bends.

But I tuned all of my strings like this (EBEEBE) and just picked and let the sympathetic resonance (like a real sitar) take care of the rest.

well anyways thanks for the idea!

For deep Hindustani slide inspiration, search Youtube for Debashish Bhattacharya. IMO, the most adept of the Indian slide masters, and an all around beautiful person. Check him out.

good stuff!! i am trying to incorporate everything i do (guitar, bass, DJ, drum, etc) into some kind of live set so i am perusing different loop based performances trying to get ideas. Thanks for your help and keep on jammin'!!

Glad you heard something you like. This particular improv is a rather simple form. Only two loops at work: one short 7/4 phrase and then one longer loop that I record melodic parts in. For this long loop I alternate between overdub, replace, and undo to create different musical sections. For chord changes, I am using foot pedals to govern pitch of the short loop. (3:26-4:05) Similarly, I use pedals to kick the longer loop up an octave a couple of times.
