Ever wonder how I build a full-band sound as a solo artist? Well, I’m starting a 4-part “Behind the Loops” series where I break down exactly how I take one of my original Elementree songs and build it from the ground up in my live looping setup for live performance.
In Part 4, I’m laying down the guitar sk**ks on Track 3 over the drums on Track 1, bass on Track 2, and the melody that I’ve already recorded on Track 3.
Then I get into one of the trickier parts of live looping which is actually navigating everything once the song is built. I show how I move through the verses, switch into the bridge, bring everything back for the chorus, and work in a guitar solo while controlling the loops in real time.
There’s a lot happening behind the scenes when I’m performing these songs live, so I thought it would be cool to start pulling back the curtain and showing how it all comes together.
More Behind the Loops videos are on the way as I continue breaking down how I create and perform my original Elementree songs live. 🌴🎶
