Boss RC1 Blues Looping Lesson

A lesson on layering a guitar part for 12 bar blues in the key of E
Im using my Takamine P3NC with a dunlop.88 pick. The looper is the the Boss RC1 with the Boss FS5U extension pedal. This lesson will work just as well with a Boss RC2 or RC3. The amp i'm using is a Roland Street Cube EX.

Thanks for this excellent video! Super useful to me as a newbie RC1 looper wanting to achieve exactly what you did just there. Brilliant, thanks so much - you just got another subscriber! Cheers mate

[@ZumarMusic]

Cheers, glad I could help, I use loop pedals all the time, it's fun to loop random things like vocals, drums harmonicas, keyboards a world of fun 🙂

[@FlowerdyPilllow]

@@ZumarMusic yep, there's definitely a world of possibilities with a looper - thanks again for the great video and your reply👍

[@kaseysimons128]

Great video. Just picked up an RC-1 and this demo has me more inspired to practice with it more than any other KZbin video.

[@larrykenney7091]

What is the deal with them looper if you go to all the trouble of making a nice loop but you can't save them for futher use.

[@ZumarMusic]

Larry Kenney I like this looper because the RC2 and RC3 sometimes glitch and don't loop properly only 1 in about a thousand loops but when your playing an important gig it can be embarrassing. Also those two looper need to transported in their boxes because their controls can be damaged and the Rc1 is more heavy duty. But that's just my preference. I always make my loops on the fly.

[@larrykenney7091]

Thank You for your information but it didn't answer my question or concern, let's say I'm going to play at a small gig and will have to do about40-50 song, what good would it be if I cant save them before I get to the gig? Would there be one LOOPER that would do all the saving and use them whenever I need them? Thank You.

[@ZumarMusic]

Larry Kenney I understand the RC3 has 99 save slots.

[@pharmhound68]

Larry Kenney this is a cheap loop pedal for making loops. Around $120 bucks. If you want one to do more and save tracks, you can get them. For twice, three, four times as much. This is a simple looper at an affordable price.

[@prestoncallahan7118]

Great video. One question, I have never been able to get the ac/dc adapter to work with the pedal. It only works when i plug in on both sides and use the v9 battery as the power source.

[@ZumarMusic]

is it an official boss adaptor? does it work with any other pedals? also boss pedals have a good warrenty if you have your receipt.

[@prestoncallahan7118]

Zumar Guitar lessons I bought the correct one. it is great. thanks so much!

[@aStrayforMyTime]

im returning mine unless you can silent one of the tracks or play distortion and clean at the same time.(without a bunch of long chords and 2 amps)

[@ZumarMusic]

aStrayforMyTime maybe a line selector pedal could help?

[@tahleahhammond3824]

Hi! Very nice looping 👌👌 I have an rc-1 looper and purchased the fs-5u yesterday, I know that you’re meant to be able to press it once to pause the track, but mine is deleting the whole track with one press, rather than holding it down to delete.... Would you have any ideas as to why that is? Or have I probably just received a faulty footswitch? 😊😊

[@ZumarMusic]

Hi make sure the small switch is clicked towards the jack input of the FS5U and your using a normal jack lead to connect not a stereo one with two black lines. Also make sure you have set your loop pedal to record - play. There are instructions to do that in the instruction manual. If you haven't got one you can find an online version on the boss website. Hope that helps happy looping.

[@tahleahhammond3824]

Zumar Guitar lessons thanks for your help :) Unfortunately I’ve tried everything you suggested and it’s still deleting everything :( I’m guessing it’s the footswitch then!

[@dab745]

Nice an easy for me! Thanks. I have subscribed! Why the boss looper over TC electronics ditto or hotone Wally?

[@ZumarMusic]

dab745 Hi I've never tried another brand of looper I started using the Boss RC2 about eight years ago. The RC1 is the most reliable I've used due to the lack of extras like drum beats and long store memory banks, it's never gliched when performing. Thanks for the comment :) happy looping!

[@gkaouros]

nice way of breaking it all down. i just want to point out that this is a 10 bar blues though, not a 12 bar.

[@ZumarMusic]

gkaouros thanks I need to pay more attention to what I'm playing in future. Happy looping :)

[@pharmhound68]

gkaouros I knew I wasn’t crazy. I kept counting with him and coming up short on bars. Lol.

[@predragsinko2513]

Very nice..RC1 is also for electric and acoustic guitars?

[@ZumarMusic]

Predrag Šinko Hi you can use it with electric guitars, keyboards even with microphones :)

[@doctor9639]

[@doctor9639]
