Solo Bass Improvisation: "Affected By Effects"
Thank you for listening! I wanted to try something new for this solo bass improv video, so I whipped out my Boss ME-50B multi-effects board for some fun. The title was inspired by my love of homophones.
The sound-hold pedal function I played with through a lot of this is a great demonstration of how to do scale-based improvisation in a way that will help you understand the relationship between the root note and all the other notes of the scale.
LIST OF EFFECTS USED W/ TIMECODES: (all effects built into Boss ME-50B multi-effects board)
0:00 nothin'
0:55 defretter
1:43 first time I use the "sound hold" pedal function
2:02 a weird noise comes out of the sound hold! i like it!
2:45 defretter off, chorus+reverb on with sound hold pedal in and out
3:35 added distortion, chorus+reverb still on, sound hold pedal doing drone low notes
5:00 sound hold off
5:40 distortion off, chorus+reverb still on, sound hold pedal back in
6:18 same effects, start experimenting with high notes on the sound hold
6:40 chorus+reverb off, sound hold on
Hope you enjoyed and see ya next time!
