Hi Mike, love your content, I live in Bristol btw, dont suppose your going to be playing here anytime soon? :)

[@BOSSinfoglobal]

Mike, you are a legend of the game. This video is a real beauty.

Picked up my guitar right away to play although it's 3 AM here. Gonna cover "that" riff.

[@richardsimpson2469]

Your quickly becoming one of my most enjoyed video creators, Mike. The hand finger had me in stitches. And then a rocky montage! I needed a montage.

Everyone needs a montage

[@IamKrisJones]

Ok, firstly: I truly enjoyed the video. The editing is hilariously epic! Secondly: I cannot believe you used a single button looper live. That's just insanity!

[@chrisangela]

Yes any riff, any chord, any tap, any harmonic, and so on and so on, please record...brilliant! Oh, and please come to the Pacific Northwest, Seattle area preferably, when you joyfully hit the road once again:-) Cheers

[@slohcine612]

Mike: several bits are tune worthy. Could listen to that style of playing all day. Thanks!

[@picksalot1]

I've been using Loopers for ages. It is incredibly freeing and makes it easy to get the creative juices flowing. Thanks 😎

[@AuthenticallyMichael]

Hi Mike! (Excellent name!) I’m new to your channel and am so glad the good folks at Boss (and my research of their killer gear) has lead me to your channel. Now thanks to you, I’ve just got to get my mitts on the RC-500 and the OC-5. Anyhow, I look forward to more superb videos! God bless ya man!

[@thrumyeyesphoto]

Amazing Mike, thanks for all the insight. Rocky and Apollo dancing in the ocean is just icing on the cake... :)

[@johncbeer]

I died...that was perfect..

[@meteoroz]

That guy falling off the chair is absolute gold. Makes me LOL every time.

Definitely use that riff for a new song, sounds fantastic!

[@nathandiehl5187]

Humbled by your talent. Eager to learn from your experience. And able due to videos like these. You and your music are a gift, many thanks from a neighbor across the pond ✊🏻🌌🌅

[@askhealthquestions]

I cannot believe you tap danced that stuff live, serious Kudos Mike.

[@nicoallgaier2478]

Two things really stand out in the Background: the rick toone guitar is epic and empty beer bottles really tell the story of a musician during lockdown 😄 love everything you do mike!

[@stevenoyes5445]

That track is a keeper in my world! Well done, as always. Carry on!

[@copperhead573]

The name of your new song is : Liquid Rain Dance Loved watching your method of constructing your music. Makes me happy.

Beautiful! Well done. 💜 Those mini-fingers though.... 🙈🙈

Wow I enjoyed your video Mike! God bless you and make more beautiful music and will continue to watch you're new shows and compositions I learned a lot from you especially using the OC-5. SEE YOU AND MORE POWER MIKE! ❤ FRON THE PHILIPPINES

It’s an awesome riff. I could listen to that loop all day dude.

[@bluegrassmagee8697]

I'm so grateful for your videos, my wife & I love your music!

[@TimsCabana]

That progression you came up with there... is pure GOLD!

[@daviddrake2323]

I love your work and I am a up and coming live looper I've put my rc 505 and rc202 and rc 500 and midi them together and u can only guess how much fun that can be

[@B3ST1NY]

Great video! We wanna hear more of that fingerstyle part. Keep up the good work 🤘🏻

[@JoshuaM8]

I've been toying with the idea of buying this as it looks a ton of fun. I think this is the green light I need to go buy it! :p great video Mike, love the tune you were able to develop with the pedal :)

[@DaveZnoise]

LOL The rocky montage got me.

[@russty3159]

Mike your playing is mesmerizing so yes that is a magical riff.

what a freakin awesome dude. on top of the mind-blowing talent, I just need this character in my life, he's reality-enhancing. Patreon bound. thanks, Mike! xxBuzz

[@TerrenceDuggan]

I'm eager to hear that tune when you finish composing it, sounds wonderful : )

[@castthom]

cool new update from Boss. And yyes absolutely take that melody forward its beautiful !!

[@Dankman757]

Hi Mike, definitely use the awesome chord progression! its awesome!

[@davidmalley1014]

This is a great vid. You are an amazingly good instructor. Oh do use this in a toon, absolutely! Rock on!

[@RamiHammoud]

I've recently got the same loop pedal, and took a similar approach to mike's! awesome pedal.

[@GER_1]

Use that riff!!! Thanks Mike... From Chile...

[@BryanOdeen]

I’ve been thinking of getting a looper for a while, as a live performance tool (mostly so I don’t get bored playing for people who are there to drink and not interact with me). I’ve not considered how I could use it as a composition tool. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@Acousticeg]

I like your calm cool presentation. I've been on the fence a long time about getting a loop pedal and which one might work for me. Seeing someone with your playing style and ability to compose such beautiful music is a great help in the search for the right pedal. I'm still looking for a video that points out the ease of use. I'm a musician not a technician so that part is just as important to me.Thanks for the video and the wonderful music.

[@caffeine9317]

Riff reminded me of Listen to your heart - Roxette -- You should definitely use it in a future medley. gorgeous tone

[@1loveMusic2003]

if you like it, it is good. You have proven your great ear over and over. Big fan cheers.

[@Jens_2013]

wow, could change my work on my Rc500 looper. thx for sharing, keep on (Jens from ger)

I love how good you are and hate it at the same time. Also I have this pedal . Love this video. Very helpful

[@bjornbear6856]

YES! Use that riff!!! Beautiful!!

[@Hadiplaysmusic]

What a savage, this sounds so beautiful! 😍😍

[@Donkeyman777]

Overload in the background, yessss!

[@albertmacleod8969]

Thanks for this excellent review/tutorial. I have the RC-300 I bought for songwriting which I realize has an expression pedal and perhaps it more robust, but it’s bulky and daunting to me. Would this RC-300 pedal be better for composing songs with drums, bass, guitar, singing? Simpler?

[@NoMeWithoutYou1]

Love your work Mike and, yes, dig that piece you wrote. The opening notes reminded me of "Summer Breeze," by Seals and Croft. Play it for your mum, she'll know. ;-) Cheers mate.

[@_symmetry_]

5:49 I never felt like this before. I never felt so much soft honey pouring down my ears in my life. That was exquisite and perfect. One of those delicious moments you remember in your last minutes before dying.

[@jiffey_faux]

Really glad I found your channel.

Dosent matter the pedal u use....it sounds good because u know the DNA of the guitar:)

Greetings Mike. Thanks for your composing tips, very useful!!. Cheers!!.

Thanks for this. Not really a fingerstylist but play almost exclusively acoustic.

[@gumtree7177]

Yes use the riff nice. Does the boss rc 500 come with power supply pig in ???

[@yeahbuddy456]

Absolutely use that melody in a song. It sounds amazing. Scrub yourself of that self doubt and build on that.

[@RavdeepSandhu]

Beautiful riff!!

[@rogeliodelgado5019]

Yup! Use it!

[@cheeckjerokee]

Love the video. BUT I've got some problems with the way you've notated the chords around 6:00... there's no B in Eb minor... there's a Cb, but not a B (I know this is pedantic, but my autism is getting the best of me right now)

[@ZarekSilberschmidt]

This is super helpful, does anyone know if you can switch the pedal to 'line level'? can't find that anywhere on the manual or other YT videos.

[@AugsburgHabila]

Beautiful sounds 😩🙌🏾

[@georgejennings1203]

Is there any tutorials on how to use effect pedals through the rc500? I'm new to using loop pedals and the instructions say you should only use boss effects.i think it's a different size jack too.thanks.

[@JnIII16]

Absolutely amazing and inspiring! Thank you.

[@guitarman_3693]

i seen a digitech or a TC helicon pedal. it might even been a boss. & a lady was able to loop & build up a nice instrument backing track with bass, rythm guitar, and some gain/delay riffs, that sounded great in the mix. and she had other different effects added in the mix ie: chrous, reverb, ect. as needed. then she went on to start building a vocal grouping of some backup singers harmonizing some ohh' and ah la la's. then she saved that as the chrous of the song saved it, and built a similar but more gentle verse grouping and then she belted out some lead vocals & some kick ass lead guitar..in a call/ respond style... my question is what units do that wide of range of processing, it had what seemed to me to be everything you'd need. and will this boss rc500 handle vocal processing that does more than , mic an amp or an acoustic guitar. ? i see it has an XLR . but almost nobody talks about it.

[@AnotherJoe]

Loved it as always! Yes, use that riff definately 👌

[@gat1gigs782]

bro this is the first time wacthing your chanel, the little hand pointer had me rofl.insta sub🤘

[@bossabarista8909]

Well done Video! For the Song at the end you're showing an octaver pedal. I am wondering if you are achieving this gorgeous sound made of deep bass notes mixed with finger picked arpeggiated tones (in their original octave sound) by THIS Pedal? I mean, are you playing everything one can hear live, or is there already a previously saved loop playing?

[@joe-m3505]

Damn!!, the sound quality 🤯

[@marc-antoinehoude3222]

Hey Mike! I really dig your video! I was wondering, how did you manage to use a condenser mic with the rc-500 without feedback? Did you have any audio playback (like a click track, for example) or was it only you and your guitar while tracking? Thanks a lot keep on rockin man!!🤘

[@BeefNEggs057]

That needs a full song. No doubt. Love your talent and humor. Yeah I tried the new ditto plus with the lcd screen and dub stretching gimmick. You can’t do past one dub because it lags a quarter beat or so at the beginning of the second dub. Unusable piece of trash. That boss looks awesome but the original ditto is what the budget prefers. When I’m big lol I can get it.

[@havokca]

Use the riff. Immediate gut reaction of it, is that it felt like Nuno Bettencourt meets John Butler. Feels new, but made me feel nostalgic at the same time.

[@rennyfield3217]

Smooth man nice stuff thank you 🙏

Hi Mike, quick question. Are you using the XLR (mic) and regular guitar input at the same time when recording your acoustic guitar?

Hi Mike I love your review but in particular your drop B tuning! I would love to learn the chords and fingerstyle loop you play, it would be perfect for a song of yours but also for a tutorial here on your channel that I just discovered! Thanks

Man I hope you're able to hit New England when touring starts again...

[@darrellstyner0001]

The Rocky bit is one of the funniest things I've seen this year. The Ed Sheeran bubble and tiny hand also had me laughing out loud. Very funny stuff! I'm late to the party and looking at serious loopers. Any thoughts on the RC-600 now that it's available?

Yes, use that man!

Thanks so much for sharing …. Keep on

Hi 👋 Mike , thnx for yer videos . Amazing sound .. I had RC30 boss. Since it’s not working anymore .. it had a function ( donno what’s called ?) I could strum my guitar in rhythm and RC30 wud pick up the tempo of my strumming . And hi hat wud start . Rather than choose a rhythm first and then strum the guitar .. does RC 500 has that function ? Could it pick up the strumming . ? Tempo . Appreciate so much if you guide. Thanks

[@ledhendrix5054]

Yes the RC500 has a setting to do this function , Auto Record , it also has a count in mode too.
