One Man Band Jeff James - Live Looping

Promotional video for Singer-Songwriter-Entertainer Jeff James from MN. Everything seen and heard here is LIVE. No pre-recording, no drum machines. Everything is either created with voice, guitar, or bass guitar using the Boss RC-50. A loop station allowing live 'loops' of these instruments stacking one on top of the other.
This is a sampling of one evening at Enjoy! Apple Valley, MN and some studio examples that may give a better audio example of what everything is compiled of. James brings a songlist of 380+ songs in a mixture of Rock, Blues, Country, Folk, and original music.

To all commentors - a sincere thanks I appreciate the comments. I am indeed using a Boss RC-50. Zemael, your English is much better than some America commentors - you do well!

As for the drum thing - yes I've seen it done well. As I am not a true drummer I'm sure that those who can play can do much better than I. I just have to make up what I hear in my head. I've learned that with the RC-50, putting down a percussion loop is best and leaves more opportunity to expand your songs.

ever know about beatboxing? great drums machine too:) (i don't understood what drum set you use on the vid,is it rc50 settings or just guitar "tricks"?) sorry, i couldn't edit my first message

[jamostronic]

Nice job:) , very clean...and keep on with percussions, guess it "expand" your music too!

[neanderpaul]

Drums can also be PLAYED in a loop too. Check out mine called "this seems to be working"

[Zemael]

You're right! But, I read somewhere that he uses Boss. I'm sorry for my portuenglish, I think it was my worst typing ever.

[EddieVanHelen]

What? He could be using any loopin' station!

[Zemael]

You're great, nice voice! I think it's the best RC-50 example ever in you tube. You should show your work to BOSS! Maybe you can do some workshops in the morning at cities stores that you go, at night you can do your show. People from workshops can go to the shows... You can earn more money with it! Excuse my grammar erros, I'm brazilian. Bye!

Not bad. I'm more optimistic about looping RnB now. I'm looking to get 5 instruments together. But from what I've been seeing, drums can be taken care of by instruments, vocals included. I might throw in a drum machine, but I really like the idea of live percussion at least symbols and bass drum.

Ole!
