fun with a Roland GR-20 Guitar Synth

[gibsoneer321]

with that drum track you could almost play the pink panther theme with the sax patch

[yohppoy]

great review/sounds/playing.

this pedal is very cool.

thanks.

i have a question for you: do the gr-20 responds well (polyphony, pitch, vibrato, modulation etc) also when you use it with an external hardware expander or virtual istruments (via soundcard)?

thanks in advance

[gfvbott]

i just use the pedal on its own. I have never tried plugging anything else in.

I do however go H/phones out to line in on a Boss MBR recorder

sorry for the late reply

[yohppoy]

@gfvbott thanx !

i pick up a gr33 for cheap i'll wait for it to come here.

peace

Are you playing this through your amp or is it line out? Did you find it hard to do the gk pickup setup? Thanks for helping.

[gfvbott]

@MrLarryAppleton the audio was recorded on a Boss Micro BR and was added to the video. some people find it easy to install the pick-up others slightly harder.

@gfvbott great sounds from your roland guitar synth,i've posted a video response using a line6 podxt live synth wave,see what you think >[(: )]

[joe44850]

Sax sounds great, the organ sounds good...the piano, not so much ( I heard one of those peksy ghost notes), but this is a pretty good demonstration of the GR20, thanks for posting!

Nice playing by the way; make some more demos of that pedal! I am researching; it's either this Roland Synth Pedal or the Pog 2 by EH

[heliobluesrock]

Amazing stuff, dude! Loved that!!!!

[af4k]

You could have edited out the first 30 seconds of silence.

[race1717]

Do a funk-style solo with the first effect!

[kimkikki]

riff at 1:30 is increndible man

[defcon777]

What is the chord progression of the CANON part at the beginning!

[NuAmBaniDeBere]

haha it's funny the way your forearm muscle contracts when you play :>

one of my teachers told me that this is the first sign of correct playing the guitar. sorry for my english. great playing!

[bally28]

@NuAmBaniDeBere fag

[glassbowls]

that shit you put on your guitar is hagert

[GuitarsAmSuck]

thanks for playing properly! there are so many demos of this thing being played like a keyboard.

[tucktimosprime]

[MultiReboot]

awesome...great demo...

now i want one of these...!!!

[IgorDvorski]

great sound dude, finally someone whos

treating it like guitar with synth added, not

the other way round

[smartsharpkiller]

Great playing and a grteat review ...please can u tell me what the songs were please please especially the one in the beginning the synth sound...If it was an improvisation can u tell me the scale u played it on?

[gfvbott]

Hi and thanks. the bit at the start was the chords to "Canon" D,A,Bm.F#m,G,D,G,A and back to D. very similar to "the streets of london" hope that helped

[race1717]

@gfvbott Yeah, but what effect were you using at that very first bit? Now THAT is the question. I'm looking forward to play a funky guitar solo (by THAT I mean STILL PLAYING LIKE A GUITAR) using that effect and see how that sounds. I wish I had that, too.

[bkpenta]

Thinkin about gettin one of these they sound awesome. Great playing too
