    Thank you!! You are the first person I’ve found who has ACTUALLY explained this process. Much appreciated man!

  • @ramiroalda6834

    Tons of tutorials out there on loop pedals and nobody teaches the most important thing. Finally. Thanx man. Subscribed.

    @bh8365 Před 3 lety +10

    Saw this thumbnail and clicked it on the first down beat. Now this tutorial is looping forever.

  • @haraldschuster3067
    @haraldschuster3067 Před 3 lety +32

    It's actually even better to not click on the one but play one bar, click on the one of bar 2 and end how you explained it by continuing to play into the next bar. Most people have bit of a hard time getting into the groove with cold start - that's why giving yourself bit of time with a starting bar or two is usually better and makes it easier.

    • @ronwil
      @ronwil Před 11 měsíci +4

      Absolutely agree that it's hard to start cold, but to address your very good point, I prefer playing the pattern once or twice and then clicking on the "one," as sometimes I like to stop my loop, and then start it again... from the beginning.

    I was struggling with the gap in my loops, and this was perfect to help me. Awesome video! Thank you!

  • @jakebrown9387
    @jakebrown9387 Před rokem +10

    I’ve been playing guitar for 4 years and just got a loop pedal. I searched for videos forever to find a better explanation of the “click point” as you put it. You could not have explained it in a better way. Thank you so much! You rock! 🤘🏻

  • @brianfrancis4662
    @brianfrancis4662 Před 19 dny

    Thanks for this video! For the first time, I'm confident I can make good loops. I needed to hear "play through the 1" that makes a world of difference.

  • @rnarizona9686
    @rnarizona9686 Před 2 lety +24

    Wow, that is the best 8 minutes that I've spent watching a guitar instruction video. Seriously, I bought a nice looper pedal several years ago, and have put it back in the drawer after getting so frustrated with it on numerous occasions. I made a very good loop (not perfect) after watching the video just once. I've subscribed and will definitely check out your other work. I agree with you about the benefit of making your own loops vs. playing with backing tracks. I feel great about this. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

  • @saddestchord7622
    @saddestchord7622 Před 3 lety +3

    When I first got a looper I had a lot of trouble stomping on it at just exactly the right time. Practice helps. I actually put an SDRUM in front of mine to practice tapping it in. It's hard but it's definitely a skill that can be developed.

  • @andrew29666

    Thx for taking your time, like a natural teacher does, to demonstrate wrong, right and even iffy loops. Counting out loud helped a lot with concise but humorous demo. Great video. 👍

  • @jonnno2439
    @jonnno2439 Před 2 lety +2

    I had been trying to layer loops for a long time. Then I heard a guy say ,"Do your start click on the 1st beat of the 1 2 3 4 bar , then "Do your stop click on the 1st beat of the next 1 2 3 4 bar". I had tried that, but still couldn't get it. But now you explain the same thing in what seems a different way, and I am successfully looping. Thank you, and I thank the guy who told me the 1 2 3 4 . 1 thing :)

    You can loop/record more than 1 time through the progression - go through 5 or 6 times. There will be fewer imperfect breaks or you can throw a chorus in there too. Great video.

    Brilliant, This is exactly what i needed to know. I just got my RC 30 off the shelf after 2 years to use for the first time the otber day. After many attemps of looping i finally got one yesterday seamless. All along the watchtower. But i didn't really undrrstand how i managed to get it right. I think you explained it here. Cheers.

    I have seen so many "how to videos" on CZcams but this one is the best. Just because a solution is quick and simple does not make it wrong. Most people go on and on about something before they get to the point. This guy saved me from throwing my looper in the garbage.

    THANK YOU! "Click Point". Vids I've seen talk about steady counts, yes that's needed, or whatever but I was looking something with a little more MICRO analysis of where exactly to click. Before the downbeat?, after the downbeat? but it turns out that if your click ON THE DOWNBEAT, "On the tap of your foot" IT WORKS! The Click Point is what we are talking about..."the most important piece of the puzzle!!!!

  • @kzalaska4804
    @kzalaska4804 Před rokem +1

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!! I have had a looper for years and had given up on using it because my loops were terrible. After watching this video I recorded a perfect loop on the first try. What I think really made the difference was the click point of turning on the looper. I played the progression a few times, clicked on the first beat of the progression then clicked again on the same beat at the end. I don't really know if I caught the first note of the first cord the first time, or if I picked it up at the end, but the loop is seamless because I thought of it as more of toe tapping to the beat then turning the looper on and off. I even managed to lay down a base line on the first try and have had a blast soloing over it. I am so glad that I didn't sell my looper now! Thanks again!

  • @davidrapant6398

    If you get used to tapping your foot along with the beat it really helps. After awhile it will feel natural to step down as you come around to the 1 again.
