Thanks 🙏🏼
Thank you
thx
Kim! This was a great video! The demonstration of the Rhythm - Loop function was well done. There are times in my live looping gig that I just want to hit play on the looper and play guitar, sing, take my solos and not think about hitting a foot switch. This enables me to record the drums on track 1 and add bass guitar and whatever else to track 2. Save. Turn off the drum machine. Then hit play. Awesome! I have a feeling I will be creating more using this method. Thanks so much!
Hi 👋 , thnx for yer videos . 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
I felt so inadequate. The Boss guide was incomplete gibberish, not even complete gibberish. 🤣 YT “experts” show off to those who already know. I came on YT one last time, searching for a tutorial I can understand because I had made up my mind to sell it for a simpler loop pedal. I found you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thanks, just spent 10 mins trying to work it out and worried I would lose the drum beat that my fingers too ages to nail.
👍
Terrible lesson
Thanks for share
Hello and congratulations for your channel, I always follow you.. I wanted to ask you for some info: I have the RC500 and I would like to know if it is possible to start the song by creating a drum kit with the guitar "but not letting the public hear it and therefore not letting it go out from the speakers" but simply record it in the RC and then use it for example in the middle of the song, maybe there is a function? Thank you!
More practical than any other instructional
Did tell you your channel would fail, people who buy a CBG want to learn how to play songs they like, not how to play it, bet your a remoaner, it shows lol
That doesn't sound right. No power adaptor. ☹️ Dam 😂🤘🏼🎸 from new Zealand 🌏🎸
Have you foud out how to route drums only in one output?. Ta
Nice comparisons. I just found your website and have my 1st CBG, a 4 string, so enjoying the content. It looks as though you've stopped adding content though :(
Thanks for the quick, non fluff how-to.
Question I'm getting low volume output on my looper when I plug my guitar in is there anyway to adjust the volume output for the Guitar Volume set 10
I've nothing much to offer There's nothing much to take I'm an absolute beginner And I'm absolutely sane As long as we're together The rest can go to hell
Simple, very nice.
Thank you for the informative video! Have you had experience with the tracks not syncing with each other even with the correct setting? Trying to record rhythm and lead for both tracks but when I try to track the second track, it doesn’t sync up correctly. Any advice or setting that you noticed works best?
That was helpful cheers
the link for the adaptor does not work for me what is it called or do you have another link
Hi, I learned so much more from this tutorial than any other. Thank you for this! Great channel, btw.
Hi, Thank goodness I found your Video on the Boss RC 500, it had been driving me a little crazy. I do not find the instructions that helpful. Thank you Thank you. I look forward to seeing 👀 what else you have on it. Indigo
This has to be the 20th tutorial ive tried for this little toy. It's also the only truly coherent one that doesn't demand a degree in trigonometry to understand!! Thanks so much for taking the time to do these vids. Beyond helpful 😊
What is the make of the guitar? Sounds great. Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!
Hi Kim, I just learn to play CBG. What is the best tuning for playing fingerstyle in CBG ? I feel its quite hard to access bass and melody that quite far away in GDG tuning, or DAD tuning. Thanks
Great, your Video cuts it short, without unnecessary stuff I often find on youtube! Great Job!! Thanks
Thank you. I was floundering connecting my RC500 to my Katana amp. You have helped with this overview.
Huge appreciation to you for your helpful tips! I found another tip you might like, in case you haven't found this - "Auto Start." I noticed that you've had to practice stomping to trigger the record. I've never been great at that. I like to use "Auto Start" - it delays your loop start until you make your first sound. This has always been helpful for me. I found these instructions on the Roland support site: 1. Select the memory to edit. 2. Press the [MEMORY] button. - The memory settings screen appears. 3. Turn the [MEMORY/VALUE] knob to select “REC,” and press the [MEMORY/VALUE] knob. 4. Turn the [MEMORY/VALUE] knob to select “AUTO REC,” and press the [MEMORY/VALUE] knob. 5. Turn the [MEMORY/VALUE] knob to select “ON.” 6. When you press the [REC/PLAY] switch, the REC/PLAY indicator flashes rapidly and the unit enters record standby mode. Once you start playing, the REC/PLAY indicator lights and recording begins. 7. Press the [MEMORY] button to return to the play screen. 8. If you want to save the edited settings, execute the write operation.
Thank you for lessons 😊
How about a 6 string CBG in Bb? It's tuned D, G, C, F, A, D so it transposes down a step from concert pitch.
Hello Kim. First it's right to say what everyone else has, thank you, you have a gift for explanation. Second, I'm over 80 and have difficulty reaching down to the floor pedal so the purchase of the FS6 was key. However, it would help me considerably if you could give me some guidance in setting up the FS6 so that it provides the basic functions, Record, Play, Stop and Start.
Good video
You're a genius. This finally explained what three other videos and the manual didn't seem to understand I needed explained to me.
I enjoy your videos because I’m just starting out learning slide guitar….. 3 and 4 string versions. Pretty intimidating process, but I’m trying. Thank you for all your help. I love ❤️ your progress 👍
When you switch from Variation A to B. This is where the fill is activated. It will play different fills depending on how much time is left in the measure.
Hi Kim, thanks for an excellent tutorial, very clear, concise and easy to follow. Boss should pay you for creating this and writing the pdf beginners guide. Really appreciate the work you put into this 🙂
Very helpful. Thank you!
Kim or anyone who reads this. I have tried to download your pdf of the Boss RC 500 Loop Station Absolute Beginner's Guide. It doesn't seem to be available. Can you or someone send me a copy? Thanks,
Great for beginner!
Thank you!!! Finally, someone explains the what's this the how to the my loop station! Mahalo(Thank you) from Hawaii!
Did say you would crash and burn if you didn't teach people how to play songs they like
Just started with mine - quick question please - when i save the loop does it have to be playing - which is what you did and how do i play back a saved loop from the memory.I've noticed with memory setting there is a rec and play option ? Thanks for the demo.Laters - sorted it ! Factory reset the system and tried again - pedals working and memory changes to white when it's recorded something.Plays back fine - just got in a bit of a muddly duddly !
I am currently going through many videos on the subject and I think I have found it. For example, you can set the 3rd pedal to variation. If you then press this pedal, the variation of the rhythm comes. First, the pedal 3 must be deactivated, because the function is not found under the standard settings: MEMORY > CONTROL > PDL3 FUNC (OFF) Now the variation can be stored for example under Assign 1: MEMORY > ASSIGN1 > ON MEMORY > ASSIGN1 > SOURCE > PEDAL 3 MEMORY > ASSIGN1 > SCR MODE > MOMENT (As long as the pedal is pressed Rhythm Variation B is played) MEMORY > ASSIGN1 > TARGET > VARIATIO To record the rhythm with variation you have to make the settings as you described at the end of the video. INPUT > RHYTHM > LOOP If you use the 3 footswitch for the standard function, you can also connect an external switch and assign the function to it.
Brilliant....this has helped me alot! Cheers!
My friend just loaned me one of these. I messed around with it a little. Like anything it has a learning curve. Your demo was very useful. Thanx for posting. Most times I dont hit the button to stop recording and start playback at exactly the right time. Im wondering if you have a drum beat going and then record a guitar track and dont hit the button to start playback at the exact right time, will the lopper automatically start the playback at the right time (start of the measure) ??? thats what I need
Can you please tell me, if it has the outro fill feature, as the RC-10 does?
