Musician 05Ric planned this extended range guitar over the course of two years - an instrument first looked at in Crimson Guitars’ 05Ric Extended Range Bass. Now let’s take a look and have a listen to 05Ric on his Crimson Guitars ERB:
Thanks to reader Ray DeGennaro for pointing out this Youtube video.
What’s the software or pedal he’s used to loop the bassline, do you know? I saw KT Tunstall build a whole song from looped voice and guitar parts with a few percussive slaps thrown in for good measure. Presumably, there’s another pedal you could stomp that would change the pitch of all the loops without speeding up or slowing down so that you could build quite a multi-layered composition on which to improvise…

There’s several brands with different features. There are loop pedals that can change the tempo, reverse the sample, quantize the samples to a tapped measure, pitch shift, etc. Boss makes two, unfortunately I don’t remember the model numbers. There’s also a web site called “Looper’s Delight” (sorry you’ll need to Google that one too) that has a lot of info.

That’s the first time I’ve seen an Ergonomic guitar in action.
Some interesting stuff.

Jason - Take a look at the Guitar Players topic where you’ll find a number of guitarists playing ergonomic instruments.
