Looping Solo (excerpt from my VooDoo Child cover) -Micah Beverly

[TheArsong]

great job i dont mind that monotonous sound at all !!!

[johnsone7777]

Micah...great work. you're way better than I, but I would love to see you lay this down with an electric guitar. it's great to be unique and showcase your amazing skills, but i would really like to see a more traditional cover here.

what type of taylor model is that and what effect did you use to make that sound like an electric with a wah??? great performance btw :)

[micahbeverly]

@fezzard Thanks! Its a Taylor 314CE and i use a BOSS GT-6 to get the electric sound. Lots of tweaking here and there. A bit of a "Secret Sauce" if you will. haha.

Excellent guitar work but a very monotonous jam. I hear no Voodoo Child melody. Jimi must be rolling over in his grave. You can do better than that!

[micahbeverly]

I actually agree with the monotonous part. I play the whole song from beginning to end and this is the long looping part in the middle. Looping pulls me into a monotonous type solo. And given the straight acoustic nature of the rest of the song, this is a welcomed departure for the listener. It was a good night and the performance that night of this song had people standing and cheering at the end. Being there live is a way better experience. NOTE: I play the opening riff in the solo.

Main hook played at 1:37

Micah, I realize I may have been judging the jam a bit out of context. I really do admire your looping creativity and guitar playing. I can tell you are a high quality solo and I'd love to hear more! Keep on jammin' man!

[RLMUD]

[darrenplynch]

Great video man

I love your work

[mojo292]

Man that was awesome, loved it. Are you using a Taylor with ES system, or Fishman pickup?

[ChernobylTaco]

You are a wizard with a guitar!

[HectorTsolodimos]

really great! those are covers!

[uncbball569]

what kind of taylor is that?

[Axeslayer55]

Awesome! I think you got it! A lot of the Voodoo Child covers here lack feeling. But I love the fact that you put feeling and made the song your own. Great Job.

dude u r amazing i just wanna be able to play solo..been playing 4 a year

[gabrieltsiry]

hey Micah, tell me if I guess this right. You're using two pedals: maybe one Jamman or a RC-20XL and possible a heavy metal distorter like hum...Big Muff?

[micahbeverly]

I'm using the RC-50 and the Boss GT-6 for the distortion and other guitar effects.

[Carabin33fr]

it's not an acoustic... It's an electro-acoustic guitar and he's using pedals.. that's how he gets that sound. Nice performance.

[fald33]

Amazing! What pedals and effects do you use to make the looping? Fucking great, congratulations!

[tanner0472]

how you get that sound out of an acoustic

[GoldieVand]

Awesome!!
