GR-20 Guitar Synth Demonstration w/covers

Just a quick video to show the versatility of the GR-20 and what it can do for a guitarist who wants to expand their sounds. Most of the demo's available show people improvising on it but I used covers so you can get an easier understanding of how it works. If you have questions about it let me know as I went on a whim and got the thing and had to figure it all out for myself.

I just acquired a used one of these to use in my cover band. These things do the job really well and open up some many song possibilities vs. a band with just guitar.

@cmattdabrat Thats why I spent $800 on the damn thing. . . . for my band to break up 2 weeks after I got it.

@soadguitarboy Bands are like girlfriends. You can always find another one. I bought my GR-20 off of ebay for $440, so you could get most of your money back.

@cmattdabrat Yeah but bands are also like girlfriends in that they test your patience constantly, require hard work for very little pay off and suck money and time out of you.

hey, what patches do you use for poker face, remember the name and the DKM?! I tried finding them, but to no avail.... Thanks

[soadguitarboy]

@cantfixstupid23 I think I used 13 under the strings/orch setting for remember the name and then switched to 12 I think for the last two chords as the 13 patch doesnt ring out. I used the banjo for the start of DKM and then the accordian under the piano for the rest of the song. For Poker Face I used some synth. Can't remember what. But I had screwed around with the attack and release to make it work.
