You are not only super talented musically, but also funny in a way that puts people watching at ease. You are a great teacher -- with or without knowing it. One of the channels I'm subscribed to where I eagerly look forward to getting to learn something new.
57 seconds in.....who told you you talk too much? Don't listen to that David. Iv been subbed for a good 5 years and your doing it right. Here I am rewatching your excellent videos. So don't even accept that nonsense brotha. If no one's ever told you, your don't talk too much, I'll be the one to say it. if it's an inner voice, don't listen. cool? cool!
Outstanding tippage as ever, and a free gun show!! :) I've taken a note of the combination to your luggage so expect your switch-6 to go missing in the near future. Gear Theft: It's a form of flattery...
Thanks Mat! I'll be sure to only keep my switch-6 locked up with this combination just for you. Consider it my best effort to help your gear acquisitions haha! ...it's just a quick flight over to nab it!
@@davidshanhun i don't know if i should do it with my guitar and a looper or with a karaoke?The other singers use karaoke in this place. What do you think?
Good to see you back, David. Watch out you don't end up with a hole in that Takamine. I almost did that -- I ended up sticking a pickguard on it when the wood got literally paper-thin right where yours is wearing through. Very sweet solo on that last loop, by the way!
It's suuuper nice to be back too! I'm so stoked! Haha - it is heading a bit that way - a friend has a hole in his Takamine from excessive playing haha! Hadn't considered a pickguard... would be a really tough call for me - I really like the guitar as it is - even if i make a hole haha, not sure I could bring myself to add something onto it! 😬
Great video David. Nice Conga dance too lol. The percussion sounds you get with your gtr are real nice....can't get that from all guitars. Some great ideas to try. Thanks.
Thanks Germain! haha the Conga was fun! Can be super challenging to get especially the kick sound from some guitars/pickups. How are you going at the moment?
Things are good, thanks. I'm still getting use to this VL3. I'm finding it hard to reproduce the nice sound of my acoustic gtr with this machine. Anyway, I'm trying different settings, reverbs etc. Will get there eventually. Have a great day.
Hey David, nice content as always. I wonder if you have used your vl3 with powerbank or any other battery mobile outside if yes what did you use as a power supply? I'm looking for one. Thanks!
Thankyou. I haven't - but check out 'The Distance - wedding band' here on youtube. Mat uses a system to run his VL3 via a power bank - message me again if you don't get in touch with him and i'll connect you both via instagram or something 😊ua-cam.com/users/TheDistanceDuo
Love these videos , thank you for taking the time to do them.. so my question is when making up loops does your longest overlay have to go first ? For example if I want to loop 4 chords does every overlay have to be the same length ?
heya! Great question and totally depends on what gear and looper you're running! For the RC300 for example, yes - the loops have to be the same length. For the ditto x4, or the RC300, or the voicelive3, they can be different lengths. 😊 What is your pedal atm?
David Shanhun thank you for the reply ! I’m currently using the tc play acoustic but I’m thinking about upgrading to the tc voice live 3 extreme but I’m scared of how techy it is .. I’m not really great with tech but I love that you can save your loops and make some backing tracks to store .
Thanks for the tips. Any tips on how to get better percussion sound from an acoustic? I have a Taylor 314 and any percussion I try is barely audible through my amp. Any tips or things I can try to improve this are appreciated, thanks!
Hi Michael - sorry slow reply on this! Firstly I would set up your gear and experiment tapping/hitting etc across a lot of the guitar and see what sounds you can find. You've likely already done that and maybe are still stuck. Soo, secondly, I recommend trying to find or create a present/or combo of your fx/pedals, that accentuate certain frequencies on your guitar etc for percussion. Eg if you aren't getting much bottom end for a kick sound try adding in an octave pedal, or simply raising your bass eq on your actual guitar whilst looping that section. You can do a similar thing with a higher frequency to get a bit more snap from a snare sound or string slap etc. Hope that helps and perhaps in the meantime you've figured something out haha!
Dave. Such a pleasure to see you create those grooves and its so natural. I've been trying to get a good percussive sound as it would definitely lift my arrangements to another level but I can't get the snare drum to sound like that when I tap the top of the guitar. Just sounds real muddy. Am I missing something or do you use an external microphone?
David, what's the secret or trick with the actual mechanical foot switches that you have on your looper?? I have a Boss 300RC looper in the man cave, which has, what I can best describe as "electronic foot switches, so its very easy to get the actual start / stop timing right, and everything sounds tight. But in my other playroom I have a small Nux looper, which has the same type of mechanical footswitch as on your looper, and I can never get the precise start/stop timing right.. does the start/stop begin when the switch hits the bottom position? the fully returned to top position??? or as soon as it leaves the full bottom and start its upward route?? hope you understand what I am asking here? when are those tyes of mechanical foot switches engaged??
Hey Stephen! I understand your question, I'm not sure at what actual point the switches trigger. I aim to hit them at the same time as a pretty strong down stroke on my guitar and this seems to work haha! Haven't used the nux looper, so perhaps it's a bit more fiddly? That's the little yellow one eh?
@@davidshanhun i think they were yellow at one stage.. they silver coloured now.. and they built like a thunder-box!! no , wait, that aussie speak not kiwi.. sorry.. the actual foot switch is the same type... that mechanical metal click type.. but I just cant figure out when it actually engages .. sometimes I can nail it.. other times you get that awkward dead spot between loops..... at least with the Boss RC300 it will automatically close the loop for you.. thanks for the quick reply.. stay safe and locked down.
Mines an Epiphone EJ200SCE, it’s alright iv gigged with it a lot but it’s not easy to play for lead stuff which is why I was wondering about yours, yours seems really good for lead playing too.
@@SteveLittleRiffs cool :) I take my guitar usually once a year to a tech who sets it up really nicely for me - one of the best things I do to try and make everything as easy as it can be to play!!

ah thank you Adrian 🥰
Well done. Jaw “droppingly “ talented and fun to watch 👏👏👏
Ah thank you Barry
Solid advice. I quite enjoy your demonstrations of these techniques.
Thanks!
Thanks for another looping video. Most looping videos on UA-cam are performances and not "how to" insight. Keep them coming!
Cheers Mike - I try to make them useful!
Cool tips! Thanka you David!!
Thanks Adrian! :)

yay! Glad you got something out of it 😊

@@KerryFlowers haha! I keep getting distracted hehe! Messaged you now :)
Cool bro!
Thanks :)
I always found your percussive technic very efficient, your «kick»sounds terrific. Maybe the takamine's rosewood helps too.☺
Thanks for the tip.
Definitely some nice bottom end from the Rosewood I think! How are you getting on with the recording?

Not tried the recording yet. I 've got a new challenge for next week-end, i am gonna sing live for the first time in my life!☺😬
