A raw improve track recorded on an android phone while I watch my kids play in the studio one Friday evening on Nov 18, 2022. This is a I ii V vi progression in the key of C. I first played the chords with an improve rhythm and stomped it into my GT-1 phrase looper. I improve a guitar riff to dub over that progression and stomp it in and put down the guitar. Starting up the phone recording as I sit down at the Piano. I then improve over for the looped guitar phrases for the track. Fade in volume on looper for start and fade out amp volume before stopping the recording. 

~~~Equiptment~~~

Guitar: Dean Custom 350 w/ Paf Joe in neck and Evolution 2 in bridge. 

Amp: DSL20 Marshall w/ 2x12 

Pedals: Boss Roland GT-1

Piano: Yamaha Clavinova CVP-35

Recorded with a Galaxy S21 Ultra.

"This is a simple ii I improve phrase looper session. I play an easy rhythm impromptu then stomp it to repeat with my GT-1's phrase looper. I brainstorm a bass line to it with a few seconds of walking on the lower scales and then stomp something easy in. I add a lead part to stomp in and then just sit back and listen to it for awhile...  Record it with my phone so I can critic it while I make tacos..." -Rick B.

You fall into a secret passage. As the corridor ends lights gleam as a room of books opens up before you. Lost knowledge reveals itself to the worthy.

A quick improvised loop stomped into the phrase looper of my GT-1. Recorded on phone.

The Hidden Library

Above the clouds; wind under wings.
Flying High.

 "After improving a rhythm, I stomp it in and improve a lead riff to stomp on a dub. Then I sit back and listen for a few... I liked this one enough to take a quick recording on my phone." -Rick B.

Flying High

This is a raw improve track recorded on a phone. It features a slide melody played using a wedding ring. Using my GT-1 phrase looper I create an easy melody using my wedding ring the week I had got married. I then stomp in an improve rhythm to support it and let both play while I sit back and think.  I decide to record a sample on my phone. Jynx The Destroy (Our Studio Cat) adds to the improve track by laying on the phone at the end while purring which is his way of agreeing he likes the music!

"Merge into the void of time." -Adrift The Unknown.

An improve session using only the GT-1 Boss Roland Pedal and a Guitar.

"It was around 2am, I had been improving and stomping on the loop pedal for the past hour or two moving from one idea to the next without thinking, only feeling my way through the music. I started a new idea and after three stomps it suddenly sounded like an orchestra of strings and violins. I recorded this sample with my phone so I can remember the idea for later!"

Be Brave.
