Hello Gents,
Had a very nice and listenable jam session on monday 23rd, with 4 finished tracks. I'm calling this band "Groovatine".

As usual, I'm using only the GR-55 for all guitar and synth tones. In the video you will also see my new iPad GR-55 patch switching rig which allows me to instantly choose from about 100 different sounds. Since everything we do is improvised, I need to have quick access to all my favorite sounds. In the first video, you can also see the Strymon Timeline in use (my only external effect pedal!). I'm planning on doing a separate "gear head" video about the iPad rig soon.

Here's a link to the videos (audio is on my SoundCloud as well).

Many thanks for sharing, very inspirational for us aspiring improv practitioners...sweet use of guitar synths.
As an early fusion fan (Herbie, Chick, Stanley, Al D, Lee R. et al) I love it!

Thanks Mike! If you are a glutton for punishment, there are several other sessions and two live gigs on my YT channel.

Address the process rather than the outcome.  Then, the outcome becomes more likely.   - Fripp
