Hi there! My name is Ben and I’m a songwriter based in Athens, Greece. After letting life get in the way for almost two decades, I decided to start recording the songs I had written and left in the drawer for many years.
I am old-school so I try to keep things simple, in my music, my recordings, and the whole songwriting process.
My youTube channel is dedicated to helping creative people get back in the game of creating. I’m figuring it out on the way. My purpose is to Play-Create-Inspire.
Ferris Bueller said "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." He was right. However, it’s never too late to get back in touch with your creative self. Follow me and Let’s make some music!
Thank you, Ben @benzito for making this video. I was searching for some instruction and clues as to which wheel to purchase, but I do not need to purchase one at all. I can make my own! Thank you, again:)
I can't really remember what I did back then but if you see the distorted guitar came in when I turned up the volume of the guitar and changed the pickup. I think it was generally clean sound direct to my sound card in 2 different channels recorded at the same time(one channel for drums and bass and the other had the looper and guitar ).
Will you do another video explaining how to rearrange the order of the various parts? Including how you got it to play some parts twice? Great video, very useful and inspiring.
Hey thanks! Yes I can make a video explaining some details like that. The arrangement and how many time each part is played is controlled by the song sequence on the top of the pedal where it says SEQ. You press that and then the number of the part. If you want the part twice you press it 2 times when making the sequence. I hope I explained it well enough 😀. Thanks for commenting!!
. This was very informative. You demoed the song build and basic features very well. It would be terrible to have to buy without seeing some decent demo comparisons. Thanks for sharing
- Ciao Ben, anche io ho una HB35 plus ed un Tiro plus.....il tuo video è stato molto esplicativo e cercherò di replicare la tua canzone per imparare (ma la userò solo per scopi privati)......intanto un grande grazie - Hi Ben, I also have a HB35 plus and a Tiro-plus ..... your video was very explanatory and I will try to replicate your song to learn (but I will only use it for private purposes) ...... meanwhile, a big thank you.
you are probably right! I was paying more attention to the camera and being inside the frame than the guitar. However, I have had the strings on for a couple of months now and it is all ok. winding it under the string helps keep it in place. thanks for watching and commenting! have you been playing for a long time?
For you Ben .I do not know music! But I know from painting! For a long time now, the idea came to me to integrate painting with music (visually) !! Do not they say that the arts have something in common? I am at a very early stage! I want a lot of work but after your video, I will try, but I do not know where it will take me!
Ha, this is Dimos that I met back at the age of 21 and that is the reason I "picked" you out of the croud for hanging out with. Keep on dreaming and acting reminding us all how the story should go...
Since i know from the "TV sports basketball- Amiga Era " ! i always knew that you and your brother, these nice kind kids which i use to exchange chords in their room and all got fascinated at that time , could really write some nice music.Go on man!
Hey! you know that the picture in this video at 0:09 is in your room and that was your guitar!!! You are the reason I got started with guitar in the first place and photography! I will be forever grateful!
@@BenZitoMusic This guitar was a Guild M75 and belonged to John my guitarist fellow. Still we play every week in our town.The guitar has gone to other hands......Thank you.Go on to your destiny.
Followed your link from Damian Keyes' comment section, and I just wanted to say thay this is a great effort, and a solid single! Keep it up, I can't wait to hear what you do next!
Same here! I've been a long-time follower of his, but mostly just more of a lurker haha. But I've definitely heeded his advice more than a few times! But yeah man, you've laid the groundwork for some really solid stuff here, and I'm excited for the next one!
Came here by way of a Damian Keyes video. Good song with a good hook. You say it’s a first effort. Well, it’s one to be proud of. It would probably make the charts if somebody famous sang it.
Thanks 👍 I believe the trio is a great pedal but it's complex and almost like learning a new instrument so you need to apply a lot of time to it, you simplify it really well.
Thank you John! You are right, you do have to treat it as a new instrument. once you learn to use it quickly though, you can get your ideas down wherever you are. I really enjoy that I can have the trio, 1 guitar and headphones and actually make music.
I tend to get better results if I play the rhythm parts thinking as a bass player. What I mean is use single note lines instead of arpeggio strumming with the guitar. In any case the trio + is a very nice practice tool and aong writing tool to have at your disposal...
I just got mine and have watched a bunch of Trio Plus videos. I like when you said "learning together". Making a song from scratch excellent idea. I got a lot from your video as I learned from your learning. I don't understand the thumbs down ratings on any video. If someone doesn't like what they see or hear just move one. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
Thanks for the sub! Not sure if it can be used with the violin. When I use the guitar to "teach" it what to play I keep it very simple, mostly strumming the chords and not fingerpicking complicated music.
