Fwd: Re: Does someone know the answer to this??

[David Small <dsmall@uh.edu>]

Monk: I am also a fingerpicker and somewhat new to looping. I wonder
if you or other loopers can address this (elementary) question: you 
mention that you play solo over your rhythm part "on the fly."
OK, so 
you lay down the rhythm part first. Does that mean that you strum and
record the rhythm part while you are singing a verse? or while someone
else is playing the melody on their instrument? If you play solo, as I
do, 
it would seem to be somewhat bland to the audience if all you were 
playing was the rhythm back-up the first time through. This has puzzled
me since I started using my Echoplex a few months ago. Thank you for
your consideration and best wishes in your musical endeavors.
