Demo - Harley Benton Traveler-e-steel with Loopy Pro on iPad

The guitar arrived last night. Extremely good value, and surprisingly good pickup sound
I would be happy to take this out on my busking sessions instead of my regular Bigtone.
The percussion sounds from the body are very useful

Music is the best escape goat from craziness that we have in our lives. Thank you Markus K for sharing your talents with us ❤

[@MarkusK.]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Asheanae]

I think you'll find that escaped goats are the CAUSE for the craziness in our lives! 😜

[@MarkusK.]

@@Asheanaeyes! 😂

[@lilakmonoke982]

Absolutely! I live in fuerteventura and goats and rocks is all I see. @markus I'm from Berlin and run an experimental funk band. This guitar has low sustain and is ideal for funky sounds. I keep coming back to this. We are both the same generation and grew up with Clapton, page, free, Harvey Mandel, jj vale and the like. Guitar still rules!

Marcus is one of the best I've seen with a looper he is so creative just Brilliant.

You are a master at creating great music and tones. Exceptionally well done.

Congrats for a million+ views on "Suzie Q" MarKus! I must be 10,000 of those listens lol! Soooo So Good!! I appreciate how You touch people You've never met world wide filling their hearts with Love & inspiration! And here a looping masterclass & love the new guitar! Practical & sounds awesome especially in Your hands... I hear JJ Cale, Jimmy H, Robert Cray, Stevie Ray, Robert Johnson, Howlin W, & so many of my favs when You play! Not a real blues fan but when it's delivered from the heart as You do so well, along with FONKY grooviness with hypnotic instrumentals (master of Your delay) I am hooked! Particularly "Stop Breaking Down" with Dominic in Hamburg!!! You take us on a magical journey when You perform & express from Your heart & soul! What a pleasure!!! I thank You Sir! Limitless blessings to You along Your way & all those who's heart You touch...

I hope Harley Benton has you as an endorsee- have a feeling you're going to sell a lot of their guitars! The new acoustic sounds great 😊

I have been thinking of buying one of these guitars for going on holiday or keeping it in the car when I fancy a strum much cheaper than a Martin backbacker.

[@lorenzvonhoetting]

Hi Markus! I stumbled across your video while researching about the new Loopy Pro App. I was wondering: how did you activate the loops? you said you had some kind of foot pedal attached to the Ipad (its not visible in the video)? How would you rate your experience with the loopy pro app compared to standalone loopers like the boss rc505 or other loopstations that you used previously? I'm a violinist from Vienna and i've been working with live-looping for a while (both in ableton live and on the rc-505) and i'm looking for a more minimalistic and lightweight setup, since i want to go busking with my setup and carry as little gear as possible with me. btw.: I couldn't help recognising the Adiyogi shirt and the snake ring ;) keep up the great work!

[@MarkusK.]

For minimalist, I would stick with the Boss. Easy 🙂

Hello Markus, I really liked this Harley B it has a good sound. You don't like the Stratocaster HB 62 I have one, it's good value for money. Have you ever been to Lisbon or Porto?
