AFIII Video: Axes and Saxes, freezing chords for pad-like accompaniment

Hi guys,
In this track, I played the 8-stringed (head-less *strandberg) through an AxeFx patch with a clean sound and several tape-style delays and I had an expression pedal to control the tape loop feedback level while playing the guitar. I.e. this allows me to freeze chunks of audio and have it bouncing around. I aimed at playing just the first bar of fingerpicking, and freeze it until the next chord comes around. However, the bouncing pad-like sound sometimes came to drag or speed a bit towards the song tempo, which I actually liked and kept like that. In the mix that guitar sounds like a stack of keyboards.
