  • @haraldschuster3067
    @haraldschuster3067 3 роки тому +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 11 місяців тому +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.

  • @brianfrancis4662

    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 :)

  • @rnarizona9686

    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!

  • @BlowByMeToo
    @BlowByMeToo Місяць тому

    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!!!!

  • @bernbabybern1509
    @bernbabybern1509 3 роки тому +8

    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.

    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.

    • @ZeusKingOfAllGods
      @ZeusKingOfAllGods 3 роки тому +4

      When I get the timing of the looper down I usually screw up my chords/strumming. So either my looper is good with crappy chords or my chords are good with a crappy loop. Like you said though, usually get it after the third try though, usually.

    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.

    I have seen so many "how to videos" on UA-cam 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.

  • @CaseTeamAngel
    @CaseTeamAngel Рік тому

    Hey man... I don't often leave comments but I wanted to thank you for this. I bought a looper pedal and assumed I needed to play the entire rythm section of a song (so boring when you are by yourself) in order to avoid those weird choppy points. Then I saw someone else using a looper SEEMLESSLY. At first I thought maybe I was bad at it but when I asked that person how they did it they just said they had a really nice looper that cost like 600 bucks. I bought mine for 60. After talking to that person I felt like maybe I just bought junk that didn't really do what I needed it to do. I was actually looking for a replacement looper (a 600 dollar one) when I came across this video. I gave your advice a try and... BANG much better loops. Thanks a lot man. Seriously. Subscribed.
