After Midnight - J.J. Cale - Eric Clapton - Acoustic Loop Jam Cover

This is a slow loop version of After Midnight. I've been playing this lately on my live gigs.

I am recording my guitar with a Boss RC20Xl Loop Sampler while playing live. After laying down the rhythm track I overdubbed a bass part live using a Boss Super Octave OC-3. The bass pedal is a new addition to my pedal board. Near the end of the tune I erase the first loop and build a new loop while continuing to play. At the very end I overdub several guitar parts live.
The looper is fun to play with.

Would it be possible for you to email me the chords you're playing?? This is a great cover to a great song!!

[markgalloway]

Thanks.

There are only four chords in this song. E, G, A, B.

[Fajah]

Well done! I have the 20XL mounted in my pedalboard as well along with an EHX octave pedal for the bass lines. Did you use your guide tone and/or the auto start for this recording, or did you just wing it?

[markgalloway]

I just wing it usually. At first it was a little tough pushing the pedal on one. Now that I've used it awhile it seems to be getting more natural hitting the pedal to store or record loops at the right time.

Thanks for your comment.

Can You tell me what kind of guitar do you play, and strings - sounds so sweet. Very important.

[markgalloway]

I'm playing a Maton BG808TE. I'm using Elixer regular light gauge Nanoweb.

Thanks for the comment.

excellent singing, your voice fits it better than anybody I've heard... real slack but real cool! the acoustic strings made it a bit hard for instrumental... Good ideas though... great ending, thanks!

[MrHybrid2012]

Nice sound well done

[laudenou]

I really like what you do, your guitar skill and your voice, perfect for blues. I 'll try to learn from you to improve my improvisation skills.

As for this version, I even prefer this one than the original song (and yet I really like Clapton).

Keep on playing!

i like the slow version from jj cale better but the clapton version is good too.
