GR-55 With A Lap Steel Demo

[@arlingtonhynes]

I’d have loved to hear the cello and string patches without the pitch quantization. Awesome video, thanks.

[@MikeJamesMusic]

Thanks for watching!

[@noams210]

Thanks for turning me on to this bit of incredible gear.

[@paulamorgan5456]

How are you doing that tuning a guitar without tuning the guitar incredible

[@ROCKN50S]

Nice. If tuned in open E or E9, Can you make it sound like a pedal steel guitar. bend B to C# with one button and G# to A with second button, then A chord with third button.

[@Gretsch6113]

Cool !,, I have a GR-! and a GR-20, and a lap steel that I neve played with yet, Maybe I will put the GK-2 0n the steel and try that, Very Nice ! Thanks for posting

[@Archtops]

Very cool! I guess I’m going to get out my 1953 Supro and hook it up. Thanks for the video. Liked and subbed!

[@RobertWGreaves]

The slanted bar is particularly useful!

[@chrispile3878]

Great idea. I knew you could change tunings... Lots of possibilities.

[@timcraig1161]

i am pleased to have found your channel thanks

[@zzkatz9446]

That trumpet effect is pretty cool!

[@MikeJamesMusic]

Thanks!

[@porterfieldgchord]

Great video! I have an extra GK-3 pickup and was thinking about using it on my Regal Lap Steel. Thanks for sharing!

[@MikeJamesMusic]

Glad you like it. It's really fun.

[@ThePorchpicker]

I'm going to hook mine up to my gr55. I like it

[@alant8649]

Nice pedal steel sound. How is your main patch setup? Meaning what tone, compression, reverb, etc.

[@MikeJamesMusic]

Everything is running through the GR-55. No external pedals. Those are stock GR-55 midi patches. You not hearing the actual tone of the instrument.

[@abking0207]

I have a BOSS GP-10&lapsteel guitar. I play blues.

[@patrickrobinson317]

Love the Trombone !!!!

[@ThisMichaelBrown]

Very cool, thanks for this scoop

[@1klouisek]

Duct tape truly does hold everything together. Wonderful!

[@squirelova1815]

Duct tape and vise grips can fix almost anything.

[@g8sbs944]

hi iv just got my 6 String Lap Steel Guitar and trying to find strings that that dont have the Wound type thick strings to get the smooth sound

[@dillongregory3146]

Pro trick: you can watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.

[@andrewelliot7039]

@Dillon Gregory Yea, have been using flixzone for years myself =)

[@patrickpuzzo416]

Thanks for posting!

[@2GoldensTosa]

James - When you're using the GR-55, is there a Pedal Steel patch on the GR-55 to get the natural lap steel sound that allows you to glide between chords and notes? If so, where did you find it?

[@MikeJamesMusic]

It's just a clean guitar sound.

[@lucianowisni]

Hello Michael, a little help. Do you know if I can Reorganize the Preset Patches? If not, can I Copy a Preset Patch and Paste in USER? Thanks.

[@MikeJamesMusic]

lucianowisni To re-arrange patches you will need a couple of empty slots to swap patch locations. Hit save, then arrow over to swap patch locations, then add swap destination. It is a pain. That could have done this better.

[@rhllnm]

Thanks. Nice Saturday morning surprise!

[@MrTDembinski]

That’s really useful ... cool .... thanks for posting

[@ThePorchpicker]

I have a 48 Oahu lap steel. It sounds so good. Like this one.

[@chrisarias4055]

I love this demo I don't understand what's at the dislikes

[@MikeJamesMusic]

You got me? On top of that I'm demonstrating something no one has ever done before. Give me a break.

[@chrisarias4055]

Michael James maybe they're upset they don't have the will to invest in the gr-55. I actually ordered mine today. I can't wait. Do you run your gr through an amp or a pa?

[@MikeJamesMusic]

I usually run it through the PA. The modeling is really good. You don't need an amp with it. The non guitar sounds (Organs, horns, string patches ect....) also sound better through the PA anyway.

[@killboybands1]

Traditionalists and purists.

[@christopherdicintio6291]

I have to have one, where can I get one.

[@BlueFritzie]

Hey Mike , I'm going to have to try that out with the GR-55 too! Nice Idea!

[@artiefischel2579]

All that and you haven't even programmed CTL or the expression pedal, which are both very programmable. You've got a 6 string, one pedal pedal steel right there, or more pedals if you add an external MIDI switch.

[@flgator311]

What is the Make and Model of your Lap Steel? Thank You

[@MikeJamesMusic]

I sold it shortly after making the video. It's a Guyatone. I have no idea what model it is.

[@flgator311]

Thank You

[@ROCKN50S]

Very nice video. Thanks. Do you also have a patch for 6/relative minor and 2 minor

[@MikeJamesMusic]

I'm not sure I understand your question?

[@PhilippedeBersuder]

Useful to make score or tablatures using a DAW...

[@Bob_Engdahl]

Love it, Thank you! Can you use this with band in a box?

[@MikeJamesMusic]

The GR-55 doesn't function as a sound module. It's too bad. It has really great sounds.

[@michaeld.mcclish]

Sitar sound would be a nice one to have/use

[@politicaloptimist]

The Roland GR-55 has over 700 sounds. I bet there's a sitar in there somewhere. There should be a sound list somewhere on the web.

[@mwarnken1234]

i have the 33 and it's still a blast! cool to hear it applied on a different instrument! you should have thrown on a drum track and jammed a bit :)

[@jodyguilbeaux8225]

does it make it sound like a clean playing steel guitar, just saying

[@jaysterdude]

Michael- what happened to the topic on the SGF where you introduced this tuning? I can't find it!!!! thanks Jay

[@Fghjk-hs9zd]

Can you use gr55 without using gk cable and just using nomal cable?

[@MikeJamesMusic]

Nope

[@Fghjk-hs9zd]

@@MikeJamesMusic thanks Sir 😊

[@TheMKEWERBY]

Impressive!

[@Beemerboy324]

That might be called a Sitar but the sound is that of a Shamisen.

[@raynator6908]

Thats pretty cool,Man. Thumbs up.

[@quantumeseboy]

Awesome.

[@Barry101er]

Genius!

[@philf4086]

Brilliant!

[@silvermanewj4366]

You got me interested! I have a GP10 I can toy

[@TheHirade]

is there a latency or the vid is not in sync?

[@MikeJamesMusic]

The video is not in sync. The GR-55 has really fast tracking. No detectable latency.

[@Jackybug]

What model lap steel is that?

[@MikeJamesMusic]

Guyitone, I sold it shortly after making this video. I play Fender T8 (Tripple 8 String) steels now.

[@skpaik]

Nice. Where I can buy this guitar?

[@AlexaQX55]

Super!

[@bigbensteel]

It may have been asked, but is there any latency issues with this?

[@riverkelly7747]

in my experience there's just barely enough to notice it, but not definitely enough to have you playing out of time

[@georgewilkins7877]

Marvelous

[@jsgguitar3143]

B bender on midi ?

[@edwardcamilorodriguez9415]

How to setup this pedal? Help me with the initial configuration I speak spanish excuse me for my bad english

[@MikeJamesMusic]

The synth pickup for Roland guitar synths are designed for six string guitars with a standard guitar string spacing. I don't think it will work on pedal steel with the narrow string spacing of most pedal steels. But if you have a pedal steel with a wide string spacing then you will only be able to use six string of you pedal steel with the Roland guitar synth.

[@wally3608]

How is the tracking?

[@MikeJamesMusic]

The tracking is fast and accurate. The KZbin video is out of sync a bit. Nothing to do with the GR-55.

[@MAGNETO-i1i]

Is that a Les Paul?

[@MikeJamesMusic]

It's a Guyatone.

[@MAGNETO-i1i]

What's that?

[@arlingtonhynes]

Just a KZbinr What’s Google?

[@MAGNETO-i1i]

Splestrie Google is a website

[@jayyjayy1164]

how do ytou purchase one of those?

[@politicaloptimist]

You can buy the Roland GR-55 on any online retailer. Musicians Friend ect... You'll need to get one with a pickup that you will install on your lap steel.

[@jamesfrederick99]

There ya go. You don’t need to have 3 lap steels anymore. Just a synthesizer. 😳 Just kidding. (I’m dying!)

[@charlessmith3727]

Know if you need one good bank account you have to be in the business oh nothing just play and jam it would be worth it it be nice to change your tuning that fast but not at that price I could do a lot more with $800 and buy that piece of thing be better to have two or three steal Guitar’s they’re cheaper than $190 apiece look at menu goodbye for 800 $700

[@8triagrammer]

The latency on those things bugs me though...

Nice Mike!!! I did the same thing for a while, but I used a Roland GK2 pickup going into a Kurzweil 250 keyboard. I found it actually tracked better with a glass slide! Go figure! Here's a recording I did with it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJW6nnqqeNegepY
