Zoom G3X looper demo: All Along the Watchtower (cover)

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Hello everyone! Thanks for all your kind words :) If you're interested, I played basically this exact same thing live in HMV Bath, UK recently. You can see the video of it here. It's like this, only with 6 years' more fluidity: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZmUdIuGmrOHgaM

[@jshaw5000]

Great Cover.... loved hearing this with just a loop.

[@bagusjadenovana3558]

Jimi Hendrix & Bob Dylan must be happy with your work , good job older brother👍👍👍

[@HometownAnomaly]

Best video I ever clicked on by accident, keep up the amazing work my friend!

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Hey, thanks very much indeed!

[@ltggill]

Best cover of this song I have ever heard! Great talent.

Yeah back again. Great playing, great song. Timeless.😁👍

[@just_the_job]

Incredible, talent to the heavens.

[@kylehughes3850]

Just scrolling through looking to buy this pedal actually. But then ended up listening to the whole thing. Absolutely amazing talent you have mate and great voice. The whole thing was perfect thought you deserved a comment. ❤

[@Kyle-dj2gv]

That was like Dylan and Hendrix wrapped up in one awesome sound. Very cool my friend.

[@davidm3569]

Awesome, the only thing I can say. It gets better every time I watch the video. I managed to find a G3X second hand. Thank you for showing off the amazing possibilities of this beauty.

[@davidm3569]

Still awesome 👍😀

[@DaynJo]

Came here looking for the loop capabilities of the G3X for my electric violin. You answered it totally. Clear, and helpful. *And Wow, Awesome virtuosity. Kudos...* So many "stars" don't have a tenth of your talent. Liked, subbed.

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Wow - many thanks indeed, my friend.

[@alansturgess1324]

Wow - Jimi guitar and Al Stewart's voice. Great combination. Excellent singing.

[@rvbguitar]

Very nice guitar sound cover! I really like those effects !Congratulations

Inspirational! Great cover! Made me decide to order a Zoom 3gx after looking at them all day.

Awesome :) I still use mine every day, can't imagine busking without it now!

Love it. You totally nailed it. So good. I came here to look at the zoom looper function and now you have a new fan haha

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Haha awesome! Thanks very much :)

[@rhcppetar95]

Wooow dude awesome playing and especially singing, don't know why but it hits me

[@CatGoneCrazy]

rhcppetar95 That's very kind of you to say! I have got an album on iTunes/Google/Amazon if you're interested, the title is "A Storm Called 'You'". Thanks either way!

[@glisteningkabana8154]

Always heard good things about the zoom multi effects units. It does sound good! Great playing/singing too man.

[@neilswan8015]

sounds great and I'm finally buying the g3

[@SiochainGra]

Thanks Justin I really enjoyed that!! great job.

[@CatGoneCrazy]

mampy You're welcome! Cheers :)

[@TheGazWaz]

Spot on there. I've had mine for a couple of years now. Being a bedroom recorder I get everything I need from this unit. I'd have no doubts that it could be used live. Fantastic playing by the way. Cheers Gaz

[@CatGoneCrazy]

TheGazWaz Cheers, Gaz - and yeah, love this thing.

[@storma95000]

Man this is Amazing....

[@MbtoGgl1995]

Nice demo and outstanding cover !

[@Sonny_AA]

I have one of these. Its been sitting in a box unused because I grew impatient with all the fiddling. You've inspired me to give it another shot. Fantastic playing! Peace!

[@CatGoneCrazy]

sonny A Thanks, Sonny! Yeah, there quite a few settings to play with, but it's definitely worth persevering. Good luck! Peace :)

Great gig! good luck with your music career!

[@jovanradojkovic5167]

Wow, brother this is amazing, you are amazing . Just wanna check some g3x demos...and i watched this great video by you. Thank you, rly awesome song and great voice and playing. What a great man you are bro.

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Thanks so much, brother - I really appreciate that.

[@xxxItchyxxx]

I'm very impressed by your interpretation! Not a mere copy but something creative, great! And I like your singing, too. Thanks for sharing and the demo of the G3X, cool!

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Thank you very much indeed! That's very kind of you, cheers for watching :)

[@hey0mcfly]

Superb mate. I have this unit knocking around but haven't dived into it yet but this vid has made me think about getting it out and given it a go

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Hey, thanks very much! Yeah, give it a go, it's awesome :)

[@TheLegumMagister]

Hope the neighbours like Jimi Hendrix!! I think this is damn good. Wish you lived next door to me!!

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Hahaha :) It's actually the bass drum on my electric drum kit they can hear the most, through the floor. Ah well. As long as I'm quiet after 10pm they're happy. Good people!

[@Vodatrio]

great version and playing! btw me and Voda bass player use g3x/b3 live, it's so useful and versatile tool.All the best!

[@phonzmusik1580]

Interesting that there are those few that disliked it.. But 'few' as i mentioned... nice, and thanks for that performance

[@navneet2935]

that tone is making me cry (T_T ) so good

[@musiconthefly139]

Great work and thanks for the entertainment. Picking a G3X up tomorrow, can’t wait.

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Ah that's great! You'll love it :) After hundreds of busking performances, mine just started to go wrong (wah pedal malfunctioning), so I went on eBay and bought another one. Absolutely superb unit.

[@albertokuman8445]

TheRealCatGoneCrazy I’d like to get one Zoom pedal. Wich one do you recommend me, G3X or G3Xn? Thanks mate

JUST WHAT I WANTED YESSSS

[@andrewbutcher3391]

Great video and demo. These things seem very underrated. I have the Zoom 70CDR and it has brilliant delays.

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Thanks very much! Yeah, Zoom has always impressed me, since I had a 2020 some 20 years ago. This one is superb, exactly what I needed.

[@DespairQuietlyPlease]

Take a bow. Sickeningly impressive.

[@jairojunior1066]

Just awesome buddy! I enjoyed a lot. I just bought a zoom g3x recently and still trying to improve my guitar skills. Keep posting good things like that.

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Thanks very much, you're very kind! Yeah, the G3X will help loads with guitar skills - that expression pedal alone opens up a whole ton of new possibilities! And don't worry, I intend to :)

[@ivansmathew9998]

Very inspiring, keep it up bro. Cheers.

[@user96315]

amazing cover! it was perfect!!! thanks!!!

[@Phoboss32]

You really should produce more covers because you are really good at it!

[@CatGoneCrazy]

That’s very kind, but I’m just finishing my fourth original album. Do have a listen when it’s out. And try One Nation or The Ghost Train now. Plenty of guitar on those, all inspired by Jimi and more.

[@n97223]

Phenomenal job!

[@edwinmartinez9787]

Dude fantastic version from voice to playing

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Edwin Martinez Cheers mate :)

[@MarshallAmpMan]

vocal-wise you like Eric Johnson. Guitar-wise your yourself, excellent playing... nice demo, this influences me about the pedal, I am deciding whether to get one.

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Thank you :) The pedal is awesome but just so you know, the expression pedal does seem to consistently break. I've had one break, then be fixed and break again, and another break too. But while it works, it's superb. It is still playable, just develops a 'blip' where 0-3% goes from 0-100% and then 4-100% seems to be again 0-100%. Very strange, but always the same problem. It actually makes quite a nice squelch on wah, but obviously messes up pitchshifting.

[@chilledbrazilianrocker]

This guy is too good 👏

[@carlosfuzz]

damn, something in your voice reminds me of Frusciante

[@silvietto338]

[@drutgat2]

Fantastic job. Loved your playing, and singing. And thanks for giving such a wonderful, practical example of what the G3X can do. One quick question - can the G3X be operated with a separate expression pedal if the internal pedal fails? Thanks, once again.

[@Zone9Rock]

Great vox vibe and the Zoom G3X is freakin' amazing for $180!

Really sweet version man. Thanks for the tips on battery use of TC Helicon Harmony Singer. Did you know there is a No 2 version, with battery capability? Can't source a European supplier yet. They should give you a medal anyway. Cheers, Robin

A goodie! Thanks brother! 🎶🎸🎶

[@davidm3569]

I keep coming back to your demo......it's amazing Do you still busk? found one of you recently 👍

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Thank you :) I haven’t busked much this year, first due to lockdown, then some different work but more recently because I’m writing and recording my fourth album, which is very exciting as I’ll have some news about that soon that I’m not quite ready to share yet. In the mean-time, have you listened to any of the first three? Try searching Spotify etc for “One Nation Justin Towell” - that’s my favourite. If you like this demo you should really like that album! Play it loud, and preferably through some good headphones as that was how it was mixed.

[@vincentryanborres]

Good one! Lovely tone too!

[@Larry_Lobs]

You're very awesome dude!!!!

[@Cebollas_Verdes_Rock]

Hello friend, how are you? I wanted to know how to make the time longer in the Loop of the Zoom G3 because I don't know how to set it, and I wanted to know how to make it indefinite because it only records 2 seconds. Pablo de Argentina Gracias!!🤙🤙🤙

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Hi, I’m well thank you! It should be able to record up to 40 seconds. Maybe you have rhythm enabled but muted somehow? It sounds like it’s snapping to a beat somewhere, so you need to disable any rhythm. I’ve not had that problem myself so I don’t know exact steps, but good luck!

[@jamiej14544]

That was great!

[@rupertballroot165]

I was all set to buy a different loop pedal but this has really made me reconsider. I have played guitar for years but have only recently bought an electric guitar. Are the pedals much better quality than the effects this looper produces? Also if you over dub a loop with another will they auto sync the time signatures of the 2 loops or do you have to be bang on the mark? How many tracks can you save on this? Also really enjoyed your cover, bravo! tia

[@rupertballroot165]

Ive been watchin more and i subscribed. If you or anyone else answers does it have drums tracks?

[@Pirake123]

@TheRealCatGoneCrazy Just a general question, how to you get good at using the wah wah pedal when there is no spring action? I am still struggling lol

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Connor You don’t need spring action, bud - just rock it back and forth basically to the beat. Toe to heel for ‘aow’, heel to toe for ‘wah’. Then when you don’t need it, maybe switch it off until you do. Good luck :)

It's pleasure to listen tour voice, guitar play and sound. Do you think that the zoom sound good directly in my tubemeister or better in the loop? And What do youthink about zoom to record few lttles Demos on back track on my computer? Tanks for you answer and excuse me for my "touristic" english

[@CatGoneCrazy]

sentinelle11 Thanks very much, you're very kind! I don't use my Zoom in an effects loop, instead going straight in between guitar and amp, so can't comment on that. But yeah, use it for recording, no problem. Sounds comparable to Logic Pro 9's guitar tones in my opinion. Thanks for watching, and for your other kind comment on my music video :)

[@sentinelle11]

Thank you for your fast answer, I think of buying that possible a zoom and I hope that you will make of other video so nice

[@lillerosin2915]

Great cover loop of the song! awesome on the guitar. But i am guessing you are not a vocalist normally!? Apart from that i must say this was one of the better loop versions of the song on youtube ive found so far. Awesome job, dude, keep up the good work!

[@CatGoneCrazy]

Well, I know my voice isn't the best but check out my video here - that's the best I can do vocally: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6eQip2mnranrKc But thank you anyway, that's kind.

[@cricketemu4050]

Hey Justin, great cover! Any chance you could breakdown the outro solo please?

[@CatGoneCrazy]

cricket emu You mean the bit I wrote, after the high note Jimi ends on? It’s all based around the pentatonic scale, there’s nothing fancy in there. The high bit with the bends is just G string 11th fret bent up a tone followed by a 9th fret on the E string then a 9th fret B string hammer-on and pull-off going 9-12-9 followed by another bend on the G to start the sequence again, then moving up to the B string 12th fret full tone bend and same trill but on the E string. Hope that helps :)
