“Word Up” Loop Cover

So this week for my looping video, I did a cover of Cameo’s “Word Up”.  If you want to skip the story below, click here to check it out.

I got the idea to this cover of “Word Up” because my 8 year old loves the song!  I’ve been trying to show him the ways of the funk, and sometimes it works.  For the past few months, he asks me to put on “Word Up” on the way home from school.  One day while we are jamming out in the car, I realized I can definitely loop this and play the melody, so I did and I was really feeling it.

He was in the other room while I was making the video, and the next day he told me how much he liked it, and that he was going to go on YouTube and like it.  LOL. So I hope you enjoy the video as much he does.  Check out the video below and make sure to like, comment, and subscribe to my channel!

Ibanez BTB7 and New Looping Video

Funny story.  I went to my local Sam Ash music store looking for a used fuzz or distortion pedal.  While I was there I tried out some of the basses they had there.  I have been thinking about picking up a 6 string, so I decided tried some out.  The first one I picked up and started playing, but I got confused.  It was because it was a 7 string!  Once I figured it out, it was so easy to play and sounded great.

The next day I went back to the store and bought it!  So I went to the store for a used fuzz pedal and left with a 7 string bass!

The main reason I wanted this bass was to expand on my looping and for songwriting purposes.  I am going to make a video of me looping with the 7 string bass every week and upload it to my YouTube Channel.  If you have not subscribed to my YouTube channel, please do so!  There are some ridiculous requirements now to share in the advertising, so every subscribe helps!
