petebassist Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 I'm thinking about performing just me on double bass and a singer - instead of trying to tap out a beat or using a drum machine, I thought about using a loop pedal and creating my own beat, maybe with couple of taps on the bass or something like that. Is anyone doing something similar to this? Any recommendations or tips? Quote

petebassist Posted January 29, 2019 Author Posted January 29, 2019 @Dad3353, thanks for the link - I watched the BBC programme about guitar the other night, and they had KT on there and a clip of her on Jools Holland's Later programme - she was amazing. A master class from Ms Tunstall herself - brilliant. 1 Quote
Happy Jack Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 My old friend Dave Pomeroy does a fair bit of this stuff: 2 Quote

PaulKing Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Adam Ben Ezra. Don't bother trying to match him. Quote
lowlandtrees Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 I think that answer is no..... i would love to do this but have watched our guitarist learn and have come to the conclusion that it is a whole skill in itself. Timing is everything ...a millisecond out and the loop catches up on you. I still plan to try it. Quote
