Amazing

[@nickthebox0651]

When youre in a group project and your group makes you do all the work

[@glennaitkenmusic]

Hi Ash! The guitar is tuned down a whole step (D G C F A D) and uses 13-62 Baritone Electric Guitar strings (because its an electric too). The chords I am playing (tuned down) are Bb Gm A7 Dm-C hope that helps

[@anonymous-de3mn]

Love the first 2 minutes when you build up the beat and the melody. Great vibe from this !

[@longsnapper5381]

OK, I'm gonna learn how to use my looper.......strong work ,Glenn

[@CreAitken]

Thanks so much! :)

[@glennaitkenmusic]

Thanks for your comments everyone. Yes I do use all four loopstations during a single song ... I will be posting some new videos shortly to show this. :)

[@sameelatif]

a big part of using loop stations live i feel is not losing the listener, keeping it as transparent as possible in order to achieve this, this ofcourse being harder to manage the more gear you have. you want the listener to be able to keep track of individual loops so they still feel the live performance without it becoming one step away from a prerecorded song right? well you are doing a real nice job of keeping it such, and i like the iphone that was a nice touch although it also would have been nice for you to have recorded say the bass part of the melody with your voice for a little more texture to the finished product somebody who id personally consider to do an inspiring amount with a limited (not to mention portable) set of gear is a dude who goes by the name of Dub Fx

[@carlosprieto1549]

[@tanyamarchand3207]

Can someone tell me the 4 guitar chords playing throughout the song please? Thanks!

[@juanterrones44]

G# Fm Cm G it repeats

[@BatistaJoe3]

I'd rather suggest to play the song with capo on the first fret: G, Em, F#, Bm, A

[@dcigscomedy]

[@keithandrew1704]

[@jamiesalbeck8332]

Is your phone plugged directly into the loop pedal?

[@glennaitkenmusic]

Yes, via the AUX input :)

[@anatoliyglinkin6631]

Можешь рассказать про своё оборудование??

[@kevinlobovsky1105]

Amazing job mate! Inspiring Which app are u using for the strings loops??

[@glennaitkenmusic]

its an iPhone app called Ellatron which used to be available in the app store. :)

[@kevinlobovsky1105]

Thanks man!

[@glennaitkenmusic]

Hi there, you can use many multi-track free editing software for recording your songs, such as Audacity ... just google it. Cheers!

[@N8Vnate]

Nice cover but all i could think of was Weird Al'' Yankovic's - "Amish Paradise" hahaha! You should totally make a cover of that. Major props though

[@laatiiQii]

Where dowloand??

[@JasonTree]

Jason Statham

[@MikaelLewisify]

What is that phone app?

[@glennaitkenmusic]

It's an old app called "Ellatron" which simulates the original Mellatron

[@TheMorego]

Too sad that such a good cover stays unknown.

[@carlosfigueroa1969]

Muy buena version!!! Te faltaría agregar un efecto de voces para hacer las partes de los coros para que no quede tan vacío. De todas maneras muy bueno!!!!

[@glennaitkenmusic]

+Carlos Figueroa Muchas gracias por tus comentarios! Si ahora lo hago armonías de bucle en los coros, así, tengo que actualizar este video! ¡Gracias! :)

[@carlosfigueroa1969]

Buenísimo!!!! ; )

[@LaPawithguitar]

[@ThePauk111]

[@RJ67.]

Im an educated man who let them brainwash my mind, that I gotta live this way ,and always end up doing time.

[@andyb1037]

well. I ended up here.

[@cph2004]

Who else sang along? I sang a couple of octave's lower.

[@JuliusCOFRE]

2019 HERE SAY HI!!

[@viktordugandzic]

IS THIS BEAT MAKER ON YOUR PHONE ?

[@glennaitkenmusic]

No its beats on the guitar and some beat box on mic. Phone is just for the strings

[@theocordery6819]

Hi what app are you using for the synth? Thnx

[@glennaitkenmusic]

Hi Theo! Its an app called EllaTron ... I think its available still in the app store.

[@theocordery6819]

Thanks!

[@dobeeeeval]

Vocals need work. Not trying to be negative, just constructive. I can tell how much work you put in to everything, and don't like seeing it fall short in just one aspect.

[@froggy1672]

Wow... Jason Statham can even play Instruments.

[@CreAitken]

haha! Transporters Paradise ...

[@Liz_Ospina]

[@capricornouno]

[@SnaketheJake87]

Was cool until you opened your mouth.

[@nclotteryscratcher8286]

Nice beat... Weak vocals..honest opinion.

[@The_Candyman86]

Terrible voice. Sounds like weird al yanovick. Not impressed

[@Ainigma]

So, Weird Al sounds bad?

[@makgrebba]

same

[@NotGuillermoGamez]

Make your own cover then

[@glennaitkenmusic]

Thanks for your feedback Steve - yeah tough song to cover ... not meant to be anything serious except for a loopstation entry .. :) Hope you check out my actual original music, maybe Ordinary People with Sir Paul McCartney playing on it? hmmm?
