Today I wanted to share with you one of the pedals that has helped me a lot in the two years I've been a "professional guitarist." Often, the gig doesn't pay enough to bring a bassist along and sometimes there's not enough space anyway. For those gigs, I like to bring a Boss OC-3 with me. Set to the polyphonic mode, you're able to choose which notes go down the octave into bass territory. This allows you to play bass with your lowest two strings while keeping the upper notes in the normal range of the guitar. This is the only pedal able to do so. It's a game changer when you're on a duo gig and you really need to fill the place up with sound, or maybe just in a restaurant by yourself and you want to sound more full. I like to leave the wet signal only mixed about 60% in since it does sound a bit odd by itself.
Hope you enjoy the tip!

That is some fantastic playing to demonstrate the effect. Very nicely done.
Thanks for this Alex. I think I'll head to a shop this week and see if I can try one
Cool video. I bought my OC-3 after seeing / hearing what Gilad Hekselman was doing with his. I'm very glad I did!
effsixteenblock50 thank you! I have a ton of fun with it
Love ur stuffs bro. Thanks for reviewing this. I'm here after watcing Seiji Igusa's new video. 👌
exactly what i needed to play solo, thanks man !
Glad it was helpful!
The poly mode sounds great after a synth pedal like the Digitech synth wah.
Love your solo arrangements man, great stuff!
Thanks so much Christopher!
I have a Chet Atkins album where he put bass guitar strings on the E and A strings. It sounds great but this is a much easier way of getting the same effect!
Octabass : I have one ! pin.it/59rFaT4
Nice playing! 👏
I used this with my acoustic. Great useful.
andy nguyen for sure it’s great just for solo voice/acoustic sets as well
Sounds great... nicely done !
marti garaughty thanks so much Marti!
Great overview. I have had one for maybe a couple years now and haven’t found myself using it often. I ended up getting a seven string and sat in a drawer at that point, then stopped using the seven string as I didn’t find I really needed the low end when there was no bass. I should take it back out and try it again though - it sounds good here and I love how Gilad Hekselman uses it.
Paul Hofreiter that guy is a master at the OC-3. Knows how to play it to get it to track well and everything.
I almost bought the seven string version of this guitar when I was shopping but this just sounded better than the other. Sometimes I wish I would’ve gotten it.
Alex Price I was looking at the seven string Eastmans too but the necks are so wide that I couldn’t handle it. They sounded great through (Edit: those were the custom ones that Lou ordered at Guitars N Jazz, not the 805 or 810 seven strings. I forget what the model is called that he ordered in for the store but the neck spacing is the same across all of them I think
@@PaulHofreiter I actually bought this Eastman from Lou at Guitars n Jazz! It was back in Summer 2016. Summit, NJ was a cute little town and I stopped nearby and had some great pizza before heading back home.
I remember that I did try a 7 string Eastman that he had there - similar to my guitar but with a dark sunburst finish - not this varnish. I went with this guitar because I honestly think the finish made a big difference in the sound. That 7 string didn't vibrate as well
Nice playing!
Good stuff. Also killer solo playing
Thank you! Appreciate you commenting
Nice playing!👍🏽
i have on my Boss Gt100 FX Kore a kinda Jazz Fusion Cleanish tone 4 lead which uses a Octaver which is controlled by a LFO according to the picking intensity (ADSR) + an Analog Delay controled by another LFO (from the 8 Assign available) there is also a kinda Analog Chorus on one side (A channel in // processing) ++ a Vibrato on this other side (B channel) to create a wide Trichorus' like algorithm (+ a Room Reverb) .....this patch really kickass ^^^
Gotta listen to the return of Tal Farlow now... It's been years! Thanks for the reminder 😄👊🏼
thanks for sharing this
Thanks for watching Ewan
Really appreciated this demo, and I gotta say, the OC3 actually shaped the way I play guitar. I would love to hear what you think of the new OC5? It has genuine lowest-note-only tracking and doesn't get confused by chords where more than one note falls within the "Poly" mode's range.
Let's just say it's in the mail already :)
I will have a demo and comparison to the OC-3 up soon on the channel
Great video. Enjoyed watching just to hear you play as well. You’ve used this pedal to augment your sound to where it fills in the tonal spectrum for you. I think it sounds great, and seeing how heavy bass gear is, this is a powerful option and opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
Thanks so much for the kind words Ryan! I appreciate it and am glad you took interest.
Cool idea...
R.I.P Chick Corea! And thank you for windowsing!
i literally just bought an used Micro Pog last week and the ehx pitch fork plus and boss oc5 are released, f**k me, at least i'm loving the tones of the pog and it tracks really nicely
Hot diggity damn! Boy! You can play! Works great to replace bass in a small combo. Very cool. I still like having a bassist. But, it’s not like folks are very willing to pay qualified musicians a fair rate for live performances these days. So, this is a nice option and sounds great.
I’ve been looking at getting one of these for a while hoping that it’d fit in good in a duo setting. I couldn’t find any videos of anyone playing any straight ahead jazz except you thanks for posting the video.
Glad I could help Chris! Let me know how it works for you.
Alex
Anyone know if the SY-1000 can do this with the regular input?
Thank you
Morris Mills glad I could be helpful!
Super!!!
it can be use the with 2 outs and set it to poly and about 11: o clock than play open chords then you can play bass and guitar the same time lol
No chords in the second setting, but it'll work for an upright bass.
Reminds .e of the digitech whammy. Big red pedal.
Really nice! Good job!
Thanks a lot Tali!
So how do you think this compares with the OC5 in the application you use most? thanks
Man, have I got the video for you:
How I Use the Boss OC-5 in a Jazz Setting - ua-cam.com/video/XWHKqA6VZRw/v-deo.html
Was all of this improvised or were there any jazz standards that i'm unaware of? You're playing sounds amazing!
Windows chick corea
Darn That Dream
Thanks to you both for the comments, i'll check em out!
Who's the sax player at the end?
Craig Harper Adam Price (my cousin). Give him a search. He just released an album
Sounds ok but I think the EHX Pitchfork and Bass sound better in terms of tracking
They track better for sure. I own the Pitchfork and Nano POG. I prefer the warm tone of the OC-3 for what is demonstrated in this video. Not to mention that the EHX stuff doesn’t do the polyphonic cutoff mode that the OC-3 does.
Como se llama esa flauta que toca el del medio?, gracias!

HI Alex,
you're vids are really useful. I was wondering if you could tell how to make a specific guitar sound. There is a song: ua-cam.com/video/Sm7B_JsWzLQ/v-deo.html
im trying to create the lead guitar sound that comes in from the start. Do you have any ideas of what pedals they are using?
I'm going to guess that you're playing an Eastman guitar. Is that right? I would really like to know the name and model.
bullwhip johnson yep! Eastman AR810 with an antique varnish
@@AlexPriceMusician I've got an old Boss BCB6 Powered Pedal Board. From the 1980s. I'm always looking for a different Boss pedal, to claim a spot in my effects chain.
bullwhip johnson The OC-3 always has a spot on my travel board. I think you’ll find it useful
@@AlexPriceMusician Keep going until you find a jazz tone. That boxy sounding guitar may dry and mature but doesnt convivnce yet. Effects mask all sorts of sonic failings but are unloved by jazz audiences except comp and reverb. Don't be put off by old jazz cynics offended you are too young to give advice when it.s obvious you have a young beginner audience. Playing-wise, remember music is nothing without dynamics.
Like jim hall yeah!
Yeah, you think?
Not close
The only times I’ve ever heard an octave pedal sound good is when Tony Levin uses one with bass.
Nice windows you've got.
don’t understand all the snarky comments here at all? great video man, thanks!
That's just the internet lol. Faceless critics
Brilliant use. I agree with you - by itself the pedal sounds weird but when blended well with the clean tone like you've done, it really helps you sound bigger.
If I were as good as you I wouldn't bother paying a bass player either ;)
Thanks so much Ricky!
Hi Alex, no doubt your amazing guitar player.
I have some request for you. Pls check “HEY GIRL 3” in you tube, they have the nice back ground. It’s for me to cover it. I hope you will do. Big thanks
Jazz is cool. I like the sound you guys make. I'm not gay. I just like the sound.
This video is broken. It buffers on the same spot each time, every other video plays right through in HD. But this one, it's Fucked I have no idea what is wrong
Where at? Report it to UA-cam as broken. Maybe they can re-process it from my original file
Ira Mercer same

Some nice jack wilkins
Get a Boss DR01 Rhythm Partner with this and you can emulate a rhythm section. Good for practice or low paid gigs. Sorry drummers and bassists. I know you hate this, but the bassist wouldn’t play with the DR01, so he had to go. A person is always better, but the robots are cheaper and a man has to eat.
The robots are cheaper and a man has to eat 😂
no desire for that pedal at all, i can think of 5 others i'd rather have at least
Name them please?

@@patshep68 Oh I'm disappointed I thought you were going to list other octave pedal options. I have a POG and it's a big sound but it doesn't do the "select strings only" thing like this OC3 does. I was hoping there was a MIC knockoff by now. 🙁
@@sumyunguy4150 i don' think octave pedals are at all useful for jazz guitar.,personally
@rusclemania7 7 ??? i don't need an octave pedal at all, nice tune but no desire for an octave pedal
Thanks mate got me sacked

@@AlexPriceMusician make a tutorial plssss i really love that sound its really beautiful chords!!
Windows by Chick Correa, brilliant!
Nope. Don't get it.
Yeah... No way....
I still don’t understand why you say that every Jazz player needs one .... I think it’s useless for Jazz . Maybe if you want to take a bass sound , otherwise. , I don’t get it . Yes I’m a Jazz Guitarist graduated from Berklee ..
just get a drop tune pedal
The Digitech Drop? I'm not aware of any other pedals that do the polyphonic mode
@@AlexPriceMusician yes
Ok buddy, sorry to say but that's a horrible pedal and the stuff you're playing isn't jazz, mind you, it's Dixieland stuff, where's the banjo?
Ernest Mixco 😂
dont need it
Your guitar looks the most uncomfortable guitar ever made
It’s the most comfortable guitar I own. It’s big, but that puts the strings exactly where they should be. This and my D28 are the only guitars I play without a strap when I sit down.
Jazz advice from a 12 year old. Ok.
Logged in just to tell you this comment was douchey and gatekeeping. Please fuck off, you’re what’s wrong with jazz.
@@jakethomas3218 Thanks Jake. 12 year old rule jazz, you know best.
i play jazz, ive done fine just playing a guitar. this is not musical.
Check out Antoine Boyer's solo arrangements. He is 10x the guitarist I am and uses the pedal much better than I was able to demonstrate in this video.
Did you actually finish the video? the added oct on the E and A string was incredibly musical.
What a douchey comment.
Nice playing!
