The Beatles "Come Together"..but SWAMP BLUES! Fingerstyle Slide Guitar Cover

  • "Come Together" by The Beatles has some of my favorite swampy riffage ever, and the drum part is so distinct and inventive that it's really an integral part for the song. So when Guitar World contacted me about checking out the new Aeros Loop Studio and Beat Buddy pedal from Singular Sound, I thought it'd be the perfect way to get that full-band sound and drum accompaniment that makes "Come Together" well... come together. I made sure to show my foot taps during the song so you can see how the Beat Buddy changed the drum beats for each section of the song. Using the Beat Buddy and Aeros Loop Studio are great for performing, but I think my favorite way to use them is for practicing and songwriting. The huge beat libraries are great for learning tunes and having a rhythm to play to that is WAY more organic than a metronome, and the Aeros allows you to record and mix yourself in seconds with intuitive controls and a color touchscreen.
