As a guitarist a looper is the most humbling piece of gear you will ever own. It's the one pedal that doesn't lie and damn sure doesn't care about hurting your feelings.
@Kathryn Kirks gtfo
"seems good so far" Maybe try to at least make some effort in your bot bullshit 😂
Couldn't have put it any better. It gives back exactly what you put in. Tough, but fair. But the rewards for persistence are immense
#2. #1 most humbling is your first guitar.
It is isn't it? Each time the loop repeats itself I expect the mistake to go away but it's still there mocking me. 🤔😭
A Looper: The quickest way to learn your sense of rhythm isn't anywhere as good as you thought.
On the plus side, they are a good way to teach yourself to improve it.
Funny, I remember when I struggled immensely with creating a loop in time and nailed the start/end points. Years later it's pretty much second nature.
That’s what I’m learning from looping. My timing needs work.
Too real!
Can't agree more, this is exactly what I need right now.
Even if your rhythm is good, you might not have the physical motion down, or the little bit of multitasking that is keeping track of the bars and moving your foot etc. It’s a bit like singing and playing. Players with good rhythm struggle with that too
Yesterday I believed I was a musical genius with perfect timing but then today I got a looper. Aargh. Thank you for the lesson. I definitely needed it.
Wich one did you get?
@@matej9255 T. Rex Acoustic Soulmate with built-in looper.
Same here . Timing problems
I can't believe they don't have a trim knob, so you don't have to be perfect with the timing of the first loop.
@@OregonDARRYL Which loopers have that feature?
Finally somebody on CZcams playing my style of music instead of heavy-metal and crunch guitar all day long thank you thank you.
I concur, heartily!
Ditto! (See what I did there...)
@@mikedr1549 haha 😂😂
You’re not looking very hard mate. CZcams is littered with guitarists playing every genre and sub genre known to man.
@@mikedr1549 ...lol 😅
I must just accept that it is much nicer listening to Pete than trying on my own. Reality can hurt.
All guitarist need 3 things: metronome,tuner and a good looper! Great vid. Thanks.
Having a guitar is a top tip too!
I misread this comment on my phone when I was out shopping...came home with a garden gnome, a tuna, and a mini cooper.
@@Billkwando That's funny! Good 1
Looper is your best metronome.
@Billkwando NOW THATS FUNNY. Throw some edibles in the mix and you'll have a huge surprise credit card bill in a month. 😂
Great Video Pete, I have been playing Guitar since I was 10 years old, I am now 78 and just bought my first Looper! Never realised how Crap my timing was!
Keep up the good work.
Good timing. i just bought a looper and it's all really coming to light how awful i am at counting and playing in time. Consequence of being a lone-noodler.
The Looper King strikes again
For the first layer it's good to play a measure or two and be sustaining when you kick it on. AND keep playing while you turn it off. This way you won't have a gap of no sound at the end of your loop. This gap in sound can happen even if the timing is correct, when you stop playing just before the "one count" switch off for the first loop. Just keep playing while you switch it off. Took me a few days to figure this out.
Great point. The sounds gap is the problem I’ve been having. I was wondering, because I’d often use a metronome for the first loop but was still getting that gap. I will try that later, thanks
I think this is my problem then! Thank you
Excellent tip
How cool would a trim knob be? You would just go a little long and then just turn a knob to shorten a little.
You could aso try to start and end the loop on the 2 instead of the 1, usually easier to time because it's where the snare would fall and feels more natural to tap your foot on thet count. And the looper doesn't care where it is. (And a one and a *click*ontwo)
Appreciate the lesson Danish Pete. The timing for a beginner (like me) is the hardest part of creating a loop. Working on it - hoping to get to your opening loop someday soon.
Your a great teacher and your feel for the grove is A+ thanks man!
The coming in on the one solved all my timing issues..... Legend... Its only easy when u have the right answer to the right question.
You are a master of your craft, Sir Pete! This video is needed and appreciated by many, especially me! 👍
Like accomplished guitarists, teachers all have their own style. Pete, I like your style. Always room for another great instructor at The University of CZcams.
Thank you Pete, there’s always ‘summer’ in your playing.
No one makes explanations simpler. Thank you Pete!
Hey Pete, I got my first looper last week (inspired by your good self) and this couldn't have come at a better time. I'm five mins in and you're giving me loads of confidence. Well done mate.
The most important lesson is start on the 1st beat of the 1st bar, and end on the 1st beat of the bar AFTER the last bar of the loop
Where I’ve been going wrong for so long is that I was trying to co-ordinate ending on the last beat of thy last bar. I had pretty much given up because it just didn’t see to work.
I pretty sure I know what I’m going to be doing this weekend 🎸
You basically play 4 beats worth of stuff for a loop....1, 2, 3, 4...NOT the 1 when recording.. You DO hit the button on the 1 though. ;)
Cheers Dave. When I hit the 1 beat to start the loop, and finish on the 1 beat it sets my first loop correctly, but then when I add the second layer the same way I get a little gap in the start of the loop. I use the TC play acoustic. So I find I need to start the second layer loop a fraction before the 1 beat to make it work. Any advice? Thanks.
@@glisteningkabana8154 think of it this way.... the ONE should only get recorded once on each loop.
@@glisteningkabana8154 If you're talking about the overdub being off time, you could always start it recording early, then start playing when it gets to the 1. The empty space you recorded beforehand won't affect the loop.
Either that, or start playing what you want for your overdub, give yourself a bar or two to really sync up with the track, then tap on the 1 to record the overdub.
Tapping your foot to the beat right next to the looper can help with the timing, then you can just swivel your foot over the looper button and tap on the 1.
This may be the most important video I watch all year.
I recently bought that boss rc-10. It is very easy to set up a rhythm track that will match whatever the song in your head is. Then you can synch the drum track to the loop recorder and it gives you an intro and starts recording. Then you click the stop and start loop button. It quantizes your stop/start clicks so as long as you play in time, if your tap for either is a bit off, it will move it to the closest beat. I'm a guitarist not a loop pedal operator. To get started fast and not suck... buy a looper with quantize or onboard rhythm.
Thanks for the reply, didn't know there's quantize and a push function. I been looking at the RC10. Is it still a piece of gear that you'd recommend?
i ♡ how smooth and soulful u play mate!
could listen for hours on end...
Good lesson Looper One Kanobe - your playing expertise and your modesty with it makes you an excellent teacher - thanks Pete!
I have played for a long time but only just got a looper on my mustang gt 40, thanks for the help can't believe i have only just discovered looping thanks to covid
Your guitar playing can only improve if you use a looper pedal. You are a very good guitar player peter it's a pleasure to listen to you on your channel.
Thank you for the class and by the way, your playing is "SOULFUL AND FUNKY"!
I’ve had an rc10 for months, barely scratched the surface of its ability. Some good tips here!
My tip for improving your timing is use a delay pedal as if you are out with your timing you will feel and hear it.
Wonderful. An inspiration for us mortals. I understand why tone is king when I hear Pete play..
Great, down to earth, smiles, no BS and good learning. That the spirit 😀
You should be more active on your channel. We would all watch. Great playing mate!
Thank you. I will try. Just wish I had more time :(..
Peter Honoré you should do live streams. No editing. Q and a and jams all that good stuff. Cheers and best wishes from Ireland dude.
I agree, one of the most watchable guitarists on youtube

This what the World’s been waiting for! Thanks Pete 👍
That is what a perfect video must look like: clear, well done, inspired playing...and as always this nice smile. Tks Pete! All the best to everybody from Barcelona!
Thank you so much for this, Pete - I've wanted to get into the dark art of Looping for so long, but didn't have a clue how best to get started... I will be following this series closely - teach me, Sensei !! :-)
Have to say you make me smile, laugh, as I watch you play with such joy for music, that it's really inspiring ! Thank you!
Yeeeeeeh man..... I’m primarily a horn player but loved this. You’re gifted, have taken the time to develop it further & are selfless enough to share.
Thank you for this👌🏽.
Pete, laddie. I wish I had the words to tell you how much we love you in Glasgow, (and all of Scotland, including the highlands!) I'm new to your own channel. I usually watch you with Lee and those lads, which is just lovely. Yer a bonnie wee lad and I've just made you an honorary Scot ! I'm a 50 year guitar player. I learn something new everytime I watch you. 🍀🌹🥀🍀
This is the most thorough explanation of loopers I have seen.
This is the best basic instruction I've seen on looping! Thanks mate
Thousands and thousands of CZcams vids about looping BUT this (actually ALL of your content) stands out! The last piece is beautiful and inspiring.
Love your loops and showing how to build layers. Been playing for a year and it was watching your loops that really inspired me, 3 simple chords could be built out to sound awesome. Spent just a few hours building your new light loop on my RC30 and it sounded so good my daughter didn't walk out of the room. Thank you so much for these videos, specially during lock down. I come home from the hospital each day and look forward to escaping for a little bit. You are a scholar and a gentleman!
Your delivery is so relaxed and normal...I dozed off a couple times while watching it, drinking my morning coffee. Which is fine. I just backed it up to the last part I remembered seeing and kept right on watching! :) I just bought a metrognome the other day to go with my long-unused (but awesome) Ammoon Stereo Looper. Video is super helpful and practical. Loop instructional videos that try to zoom through it don't really help you internalize all the info. Also, it's fun watching you play guitar, because you play stuff people would actually want to listen to. That's not easy.
Complicated means more steps. Hard means it's stress plus easy mode. You are only stressed when you do not know.
I wanna drink a beer with this dude....great guitar playing and tips, cheers!
This was the most easiest to understand and now I know why I just keep shoving my looper away in the corner. Got me excited now again. Many thanks again mate. Very much appreciated for your tips and looking forward to more on you sharing your experience on the looper. Cheers from here in Singapore! Stay safe mate 🍺
Excellent Pete! Yep I made all those errors, so frustrating to start with, but like a lot of things, when you crack it, you wonder why you found it so difficult! Looking forward to next one in the series. Thanks!
Always use a metronome on your first loop... the rest will be solid if you can keep the beat. Pete you really show your passion in that last one... very inspiring for us learners. (Keyboard player learning guitar at age 63...) Thank you.
One day - they'll be an adjustment knob to trim loops to perfection.... one day.
You are an amazing player, love watching you on Andertons with the captain. Keep up the great work....more videos please. I would love to be as good as you.
I keep re-watching/re-listening to that intro. Loved it.
Loved this video so much. It just looks like you were truly enjoying yourself at the end with the last loop you were demonstrating
Its really fun to challenge yourself as a musician after you get these basics down and make a REALLY long loop with a huge air gap in it that you have to pick up on. Very fun. So like let it be in suspense then come in hard. I like to play sludge metal though. Eventually you understand very slow passages that most people would no longer understand bc the tempo is so slow.
Great playing and content Pete! You inspired me to buy a Ditto looper three months ago and this inspires me to get off my butt and use it. I really love your playing style and the instructional videos here on your channel. All the best from Orlando, FL!
Wow thanks Pete, so happy you started to make some educational videos again... It's in a way a good boost to continu practicing and learn your skills (not to copy you but use you as inspiration)... You're amazing
Brill really liked the insight into those chord shapes you showed us, the bridge between basic chord strumming and that style of more accomplished playing is a difficult one would really enjoy you taking us on that journey you have a great teaching manner. Thanks
after watching you have so much FUN last week with the RC-10R i ordered one from Andertons and i was struggling to get it right but now after this Awesome video i have cracked it looking forward to more of your videos showing how to use my looper you are the Man
Hi Pete. I’m waiting for the Ditto+ I ordered to arrive. Thank you for taking the time to explain all this simply and clearly. I’m sure your advice will be very helpful. Take care. Enjoy your day!
Also, pedals are typically meant to be hit with shoes. You can of course use pedals barefoot or with socks, but you get a more confident press with shoes, and that confidence will affect your ability to kind of 'smack' the switch quickly and on-time, while a barefoot press may be more delicate and 'laggy'. Doesn't matter for a lot of pedals, but for a looper, that's kinda critical. Doesn't mean you absolutely need to wear shoes either, just something to be aware of.
Awesome loop lesson from the loop king himself! Love this, thanks Pete!
When you play your own style of you I could listen to you play whatever you were playing there at the end all day, awesome! listening to you made me go out and buy a looper!
Thanks Pete, GREAT VIDEO. Always had a problem with getting back to the first/end of the first loop without it sounding "off".. Have been following you and Lee for a long time. Thanks from eastern Canada. :) Eddie
Thanks Pete. I bought the RC-1 way too soon after starting to learn guitar. Heard my first loop, without any instruction, and how bad it sounded, so I put it in the closet. That was 4 months ago. Now that I can play a little better, and with your instruction, I've started to make my own loops. As learning was getting frustrating, it's now fun again. To my Scandinavian buddy, tusen takk
This video was sooo good! Seems like every manufacturer and/or guitar instructor believes that if you buy a looper you obviously know how to use it. I have refrained from buying a looper because I wasn't sure how I would would/could use it. Now I get it! I not only believe that I can do it, what's better is that I know how it will benefit me. If I had seen this video several yeas ago, I would have purchased one then.
Thank you!
I've learned so much from you in just watching your videos the past two days man!
That last loop you did was absolutely beautiful good sir! Love how your tones and licks come through!
Got a RC-5 three days ago. I'm beginning to practice (with a Rhodes, keyboardist here), not a piece of cake indeed, but lots of fun already. Thank you for the video, you are a master with a real taste for beautiful chords 👍
Great advice to use a metronome! I'm amazed that never occurred to me. And I definitely found when I started using a looper that tapping it on and off in time while playing was tricky.
That was fabulous. Thank you so much Pete. I'm trying to decide which looper to buy and this has really helped. Can't wait to get one and give it a go. Heading over to your channel now to see if you have done part 2!😃😃
Appreciate the focus on time vs gear. In general, wish there were more "lessons" or tips about timing. Especially how to keep track of bars in a live situation.
Thank you so much for this! Great video, and I love how you broke it down very simply! Cheers!
I bought a looper a few years back. First thing I did was try to get a 12 bar blues into it, it drove me nuts. Practising with a metronome (with or without the looper) is well worth the effort.
This is the masterclass for beginners that I needed!
The biggest reason I don't have a looper is because there are so many to choose from. I have analysis paralysis. I want something simple but also want to be able to load tracks. I'm thinking the new Ditto+.
Man, the last loop section is absolutely stellar! I believe I'd give my left one to be skilled enough to play that.....
Jolkrae Remeark you should give your right one instead then you'd at least have one "left" 😜
The last section is really the deal. Did it just come to u? Fantastic!
@@hubbyofmad5122 ok, you got me there....I'd give my right one to play 40% as good as this man.
Really nice talk about looping. I like your videos here more than the ones from
Andertons. You are right about timing being the most important part of looping.
I don't have much trouble keeping time, but I go through periods when I have trouble using a looper. Usually when I haven't used one in a while. It's a mental thing, and maybe a little bit of a coordination thing. If the button on the looper were flat on the floor I don't think I'd have a problem at all. Or if I'd practice using it more.
Getting a looper was the single most helpful purchase to improve all things guitar - such a helpful tool. Still like the Ditto for its simplicity and sound.
Hi Danish Pete, I would like to thank you for posting this video..! I just watched it & followed your instructions and now I'm able to get my one bar & two bar loops in time...!
Your are right a Looper pedal is fun and a very good practice tool. I always wanted to solo to my own loops and now I can thanks to you....!
Really great lesson!! The looper showed me how bad my sense for rhythm and timing is, beside hand-foot coordination and bad overall playing, bendind a.s.on. I use it as recording device for analyzing my play. It‘s sooo much fun nonetheless.
Danke, aus Deutschland✌🏼😎
Thanks Pete, awesome. One thing worth mentioning is that some delay pedals have a looper if you don’t want to fully commit to a pedal. That’s what I’m using. Downside is that you can’t use delay in your loops, of course. But, I just use mine for messing around with ideas.
Pete you are the man! I always steal some tasty licks from your awesome videos 👍🏻👍🏻
I'd pay good money for one with a trim knob to shorten a loop to perfect time. Or even better - two knobs to trim both ends of the loop. So, you would just punch in a little too early and punch out a little too late.. and then just tweak the knobs. Oh yeah!
Outstanding overview Pete, thanks man, I miss Andertons, was my go-to when living in the UK, a long stroll from Australia :-) Love your work mate, super talented.
Thanks for mentioning the carpet problem! I was using the ditto recently in a room with a deep pile carpet, and experienced the difficulty of hitting the beat accurately. Also, sometimes you get a false double click. Great advice.
I was so mesmerized by the opening loops man. Just that alone got me so excited to just up and get it.
I needed this!!!! Timing of the switch has been my block- im going to out this to work! Thanks
Using a looper has expanded my music ten fold super great tool. Thanks for the demo
I get so close but getting the perfect Mr Fantasy Intro loop has been my world lately lol. Searching my being for that pefect stomp. Exactly right. Almost....... The jams over that meanwhile are worth the looper timing frustration.lol
It's Sunday I'm watching Pete again what else more would anyone need
Such great information again M. Pete!!! Great video and thank you for the tips. You are awesome Sir!!!
Great video!
I have been looking for a video like this for a while but not found anything as good as this.
Mange takk!
Pete low key flipping the bird at us looper noobs. LOL love the playing as always! Great video
Excellent tips and playing.
You rock Pete. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Perfect timing as I’m looping recently. Love your original music too 👍🏼🌈🙏🏼
Intro was absolute fire. Inspiration!!!!
Was checking the looper pedal and found your beautiful solo. I think even the guitar melody, sound can show the player's personality. Warm and beautiful heart. Thank you for sharing. I love the slight note of 25:42.
Thanks Pete. I’ve been a musician for nearly 50 years and I find looping difficult. It gives me “Red Light Fever” and I panic when it’s time to click. 😁👍
This is a video I needed to see. Thanks, Pete, for breaking this down for us.
Thanks Pete 🎉 appreciate all you do 😊
Amazing video.
Excellently explained.
It deserves its second part ;-)
Thanks Pete this episode is a keeper, book marked in my lessons folder😉
Could you please do a tutorial where you teach the loop from the introduction of the RC-10R at the Andertons' channel? That loop was just epic!!
Good info. I've been using a JamMan stereo looper for several years now, and learned the hard way that my first loop has to be in the best timing I can manage. I always know right away. When I click to end the first loop, I should hear the playback in correct, seamless timing. If not, I redo it because it will sound off.
I learned to start with something that has a very simple and clear cycle. I like to start on a 1 and finish at the downbeat of the last beat, then click on the next 1.
Always the simplest part first. It can get more complex on the overdubs, which can punch in and out anywhere in the rhythm once the rhythm is established by the first loop.
Second rule: know when to stop adding layers.
