I play tunes that have AABB or AABA structure. What I'd like to do
is something like this live:
1. Put down a 2-4 bar groove.
2. Multiply the groove and overdub the head of the AABA tune.
3. Overdub the chord changes.
4. Put in rhythm fills every 8 bars and on the turnaround.
5. Here's the tricky part: With one pedal press, undo #2 _only_ and
go into overdub to start soloing over the tune.
I can do each of the steps above on the EDP except for the last one.
Is anybody doing anything like this? If so, how are you doing it?
