RC50-2 - 29 July 2006
01/08/2006This is the second live improvised track I recorded using a Boss RC-50 looping pedal. This is more of a sketch than anything serious and is a good demonstration of how I come up with guitar solos. I usually work them out like this and then refine them over time. However, this example has all the mistakes left in and a little bit of distortion too. Enjoy!
