I still think someone should bring out a looper called Groundhog Day............sorry.

I think it's probably been said by now, but I'd also recommend playing a bar or two before you start recording, especially with chords as you actually want any notes ringing to come in as you start.

I often put a looper at the start of my chain when testing another pedal.<br>Record some basic loop, and then I play with the knobs of the pedal I am exploring to see the effect.<br>We can't all have a second pair of hands to play while we fiddle with stuff!

I love using a looper as part of learning to scales and soloing. That said, laying down a chord progression in a loop is also making my rhythm playing better and I'm even noticing things that need improvement in my basic strumming technique. One tip for bedroom players - adding a pedal topper to the stomp switch makes it so much easier to hit in bare feet/socks. :-)

You guys should REAAALLLY get Nick Reinhart in from Tera Melos or the YT channel Pedals&Effects. <br>He is like a looping wizard in his own totally unique way.

When I have taught this to other guitar players I find it is helpful if they do a slightly longer loop when they start. If the loop they are aiming for was too short (1 or 2 bars) I found they were panicking about pressing the button on the looper and couldn't concentrate on being in time! If they did a loop of 4 or 8 bars they could relax into what they were playing and hit the looper in time without difficulty.<br><br>Great video guys.... please never say that your videos aren't for advanced players there is always great inforrmation to be gleaned for even the most experienced, such is the quality of your content. Keep it up.

55 years old now. I can only imagine how cool it would have been when I started at 9 years old and watching you guys with all those pedals.

One utility for placing the looper at the beginning of your signal chain is for tweaking your gain stack. Create a simple loop of your clean guitar signal (playing soft -> loud), and then you can sit down and mess around with your gain stack without having to back and forth.

My favorite person who does looping is KNOBs. I just picked up a CBA blooper and it is something else.

Pretty sure a "Clear Your Loops, People" shirt would sell.
