Will Lee & Pete Like These Little Amps? - Positive Grid Spark Range Review

Jam, that was cool because I didn't realize it actually existed, but let's see and interestingly, I have to say that I don't think it's brilliantly accurate yet, but I'm sure it

will

improve over time. Try to do. write down the chords, yeah, of what you're playing, which one is, which one is a

little

crazy, really, that's AI, right? and that's only going to get better and better, but Alison's backing tracks, so if I type oh, there we are. see that pops up and here's all those back and I even watched some videos of us let's talk about Pentatonix oh that's one of mine I don't know what's in there so yeah I'm talking about the fact that you canActually you can basically watching YouTube videos and playing along with them as part of the app, that's great.

Then obviously you have tons and tons of these curated playlists, so I don't know why you think Zack Wilde's Doom playlist would do it. be something that I would be interested in, oh, doing, maybe it's um, you have songs classified, you have different genres, um, I mean, it's absolutely crazy, of course, if you want to learn this, this, this, this

will

make you want to do it. Cut off all your fingers and throw away all your equipment and you know, but it's the first thing that's recommended. The jazz video is a Guthrie government one, so yeah, go with that, um, that's cool, let's get into the Smart Gem and the Quick Jam just to Look, actually, you know what we got like Hendrix?

So the Hendrix thing you only get if you buy it, so you have

amps

and pedals, sort of official Hendrix songs to play along with Little Wing Machine Gun. I mean, it's just oh. That's cool, maybe we should do that at the end, there's even documentaries, by the way, yeah,

little

documentaries, famous moments and things that are crazy, I mean, if you're in, if you're a Hendrix fan, that's great to have, but anyway. Let's do that, let's try smart gems, okay, so the smart gem is again like an AI color tool. You have four different drummers playing different types of variety of drums, uh Jarvis, number one here is a rocket heart, listen to your performance in real. "It's time to adjust to your dynamics and complexity as a kind of garage band, isn't it?

Yes, it's something similar, but it's more like you play and then it will create the music around you and then you." We've got Dave, he loves rock and pop, and then you've got Sharon, a great pocket player with funky grooves that make you move, and then Charles is a real blues groover, so you've got these four, so basically you choose the one you already know. choose Dave. Let's also choose Charles, there's a little bit of blues, so you press Let's Jam and then you can choose whether you want to mix 12 bars or an eight bar in a row, so you know, apply that and then you can do it. your tempo, which you can play so you can play it and that's all for now, so you have to prepare yourself with your chords.

I've tried this before and you have to keep it a little bit simple because as soon as you're playing as soon as you do something else you know fancy chords or something like that no thanks it's a little bit much so what's it just kind of stat, your standard major minor chords, yeah, so you go to the standards? of so let's try to test this, so let's see, click Start. I'll count right and keep playing until I'm happy. I can stop it before then it's not as composed as you can see. Smart Jam is working please wait turn the music up here a little bit oh maximum so you have three tracks selected here you can go to the next generated track number two a little more direct like this I like this and there is one more oh more here inspired by so you do it a couple of inspired by what I did so it doesn't take away the guitar track it just puts in a baseline and a drum line yeah so let's take number two here and I'm going to play it like this that give me the thing and then I'll just set them up, thanks and I'm getting all the chords here so I can see what it is so I mean, it's cool because you get the chords, you get the notation, you get and you know everything here as we're going through it , true, I will say it's probably more of a beginner level than intermediate or more advanced, but it's smart, it's clever and I can only see in the future this becoming more and more advanced once I can start picking out notes and which ones it is. the difference between oh i just started mine so what's the difference between smart jam and fast jam?

So the cute Quick Gems like marmos or strawberry jam or something, it's kind of like that, so you're like, "okay." I just want some funk, so you click on the funk and that's it, it goes off immediately and then you get it, you get the chords, that's me, play it right, it'll record it and repeat it or is it just your design, kind of practice on the The batteries are fine, right? Yeah, so you can choose from a couple different funk here, oh, there you go, yeah, exactly, I'm a little late. I'm going to come back here and turn it off. and it stays, it's still there once I change my sound again, it keeps saying, I mean, to learn how to play Pocket, how to get the tempo and, you know, learning all that is a pretty good tool. um, I mean, first you need to know what the chords are like and all that different stuff, but you know that comes with it, but as a practice tool it's a lot better than just having a metronome, right?

So right before he sees, Leeds interrupts, I'm just going to take a track where you go and it goes to YouTube, picks a video and then writes it with chords and plays it in the background so you can follow along and of course I have to do it. . go on, keep dancing slow, there you go so you understand the chords, okay, I'd just like to point out that it's not completely accurate throughout this summer, someone is like you say. I think that's where learning the software will get better and better because it doesn't, you have to accept that someone on the

positive

grid

hasn't gone in and typed this in manually or that YouTube's computer algorithm is trying to do it.

I wonder what those chords are, yeah, um, and it's not quite there yet, but I think I bet. It gets better, it's going to get better and better over time, as Ai and all these things will get better, but it's not exactly, it's like you're, I'd like the chords of this song and you go into these chords. graph things, so they're never really right, you know, it's, it's, it's, it gets the flavor and it gets what key you're in and you can change the keys and stuff, so I mean, I'm very impressed by all of this. and then basically the last page you have here is um you can see your login so my profile you can see my tone cloud presets.

I haven't shared with anyone, that's another thing, you can create your own presets, share them with the tone cloud. and people can download them and people can follow you, so you can have followers or you can follow people, boom boom, that's really cool, kind of like uh, the neural thing, which is cool, uh, you've got a tuna in there, look, it's a cool tuner. that's a good tuner, it looks like a couple of uh, a couple of tits and whatever has a metronome, which is how it determines where you're going and so on, that's cool and I like that you can put your can log in on your music from Apple or your Spotify account presumably music absolutely at the same time, so voila, I can add another device, so if I have all three, let's say I have one of these in my camper van or whatever, and that's what just I have. my phone with me you want to leave it there and this one that I have in my bag in my tent or whatever.

I can just log in and I have everything, let's finish this video. I mean, it's a crazy app right now, yeah, oh my gosh, okay. here we are on my Jimi Hendrix list, you can watch for free Wing clean hey Jimmy just blah, blah, blah, blah, so if I click on each of these, I'll give you the most graphic visualization of what we're using. That's fun, what else do we have here? You load, man, yeah, literally, you load Unified Town City 100. Amazing octave fuzz, the last one after, right before you, before we leave. I accidentally clicked on that little cloud here and I go into the tone cloud and take a look.

All this here is the one in the upper right corner. I see, wow, you can start following people. I just wanted to download this Metallica One, so I guess just click, let's click, loading, there we go, what does it do? this is a preset song or just a preset oh, I see, so this is by Rocco defilippo yes, it has 10,284 hearts against yes 200,000 downloads what I do want to say that I have not understood is the foreign tone of Rocco's Metallica like this that I'm just going to switch between the rhythm and the main preset of this, then this, then this, um, I'll give you a rough idea so that at this moment the volume is at full volume, it's like for a small room like This yeah, is that you try to put a microphone on it and stuff, you really have to use it at full volume if you're at home.

I think you could get away with being a little quieter, but hey, here's the rhythm sound and the lead sound. Okay, so switching to the uh mini volume is now about half way through, so let's try a lot more with the beat and Lead Foreign, I actually thought it would be a little bit more lead, there you go, lastly, then let's say what the big

spark

sounds like. , the presets actually. The big

spark

that comes is slightly different than the first one, so now we're going to do clean and crunch instead of Rhythm and lead and clean, nice crunch crunch.

I mean, it's cool, like when we made the video, we can go up there. I have a little bass. If I'm here, I feel like yeah, I'd like to stop by and, um, grab some bass and now I have to say the one for me is the mini. Yes, I would. I love one of those places, it has more than enough volume for home use, yeah, and like you say, it's rechargeable so you can travel, you know, if you wanted to, it's super small. I had this in the garden, you know, and we put this up. ready for Scouts, I was on vacation and stuff, you know, being in the store is always fun, man, you know, it's a fun little thing.

I always think about things like this when you try to put a microphone on it, the volume, the lack of volume is greater. It's a problem of what it really is in real life, if you know what I mean, if you're alone in a room, you're just trying to hear it, it's actually okay, yeah, it's a Bluetooth speaker, it sounds good, man . It's okay to just have some music, it's crazy, I mean, off the top of my head, this is somewhere around the 120 mark, this is around the 200 mark and this is somewhere between the 250 and 300 mark. , it's just a lot of equipment and the app.

I said the app is free to use with this, it's just the expansion packs, yeah you want to do the Jimi Hendrix thing so you have to pay more. I also like this, that you can customize it here. Can you buy different rubber covers? Well, you know it shouldn't be so easy to remove if you know that will come later. Get your neon purple ribbed rubber covers for added comfort. No, I'm saying it's my favorite. This is the mini, but anyway look, what did you like? I hope you stayed with us throughout this video, I felt like it was longer than we intended, but yeah, Anderson Fair, right?
