Hey guys - it's been a busy week here in the studio but I still managed to put together a video for you!

Today I've got an epic loop pedal cover of Viva La Vida - yes I know another Coldplay cover! The loop pedal has been rising in popularity in recent years (probably something to do with Ed Sheeran) and since I had a Boss RC-30 lying around I figured I'd have a go at using it.

Most people only seem to use loop pedals with acoustic guitars but I couldn't find many people using them with keyboards and synths for some reason! It seemed like the perfect combination to me since keyboards and electric pianos can make so many different sounds that you can layer on top of each other.

All that was left was to find a suitable song and Viva La Vida was the perfect choice. It all centres around a single pattern which was exactly what I needed to use the loop pedal.

This all results in an epic sounding cover of Viva La Vida which you can see being built up on the loop pedal part by part!

Thanks for watching this video, if you enjoyed it please don't forget to Subscribe and share it with your friends!

VIVA LA VIDA
Coldplay Lyrics:

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing,
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [5x]

Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
