I've just got a looper and I'm convinced every guitar player should own one now, because if nothing else it's an excellent way of demonstrating how bad a player you are. That's a good thing, because it forces you to be spot-on with your timing. I think I've become sloppy with timing - too focused on doing the flashy stuff rather than the basics. Really enjoying it.
Exactly! We got an RC300, and I feel as though it's yet another instrument to learn. It took me so many trial and error attempts to figure out what this video instructed within 60sec.
@Andrew Ramirez Nice to hear cause I (and I thought I was okay to almost good player) just bought a looper and am totally depressed over my incompetence.
I'm crying right how "fluffy" my rythm is :'(
Semantic Samuel Great honesty in that comment. And you’ve convinced me to get my first ever looper pedal, and I’ve being playing for 35 years on and off.
Agreed everyone should have one, such a fantastic teaching tool. I am using mine now for learning how to sing, very fast feedback loops. "I thought that sounded pretty good, I say, lets find out, um, no, not exactly, good but not great, try again, repeat!".
0:00 Shape of You - Ed Sheeran
1:57 I'm Yours - Jason Mraz
3:45 Slow Dancing in a Burning Room - John Mayer
5:22 Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
6:28 Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve
7:55 Big Black Horse and a Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall
9:14 Magic - Coldplay
Thanks! Folks, please vote this up so it floats up. For most of the tune titles, I couldn't quite make out what Paul was saying. I guess Paul assumes we all know all these, but I was only familiar with three (and one of them I didn't know the name of anyway!)
thanks

Beard on point like always! Great video Paul
Took me at least 18 years of dedication and hard work to be able to grow a beard like that!
Now this is a life goal and let me tell you that it was definitely worth it :D
Great Content as always
If only you had that discipline with your guitar...
(Sarcasm)
Paul Davids I just love the results you showed in 18 years(you stayed honest :D). I really wanna have beard like you with my own touch.
Thank pal , you give me motivation not only for beard but more for guitar.
@@aryamannverma Let I as
Paul, your ability and talent are nothing short of amazing.
I agree.
PLEASE DO A PART 2!!!!! THIS WAS AWESOME!!!
Please part 2 🎸🤘
Agreed
The one thing that's annoying about looping is the time it takes most people to get their loops sections going, they way you achieve it quickly every 4 bars is awesome and adds to the progression of the song. Well done
The coldplay one was absolutely nuts!
Bittersweet Symphony sounds incredible!
you did the best "i'm yours" cover ever...
with ONE guitar
awesome B)
Sungha Jung
Miss the mother of all loop songs... Dosed, by RHCP
Henrique Bonfim was about to suggest it :)
nice
Yessssssss
Gorgeous song btw
Snow too
Going to Patreon right now, what a great platform!

The moment you pull off a successful loop the joy on ur face is unmistakable !!! I can see it here !!
For me, at least, this was less a "how to" video and more of a "how awesome" video... it might take more time than I've got left on this earth to be able to do any of this. But I'm hugely impressed/envious of your ability to do it!
I listen to you now and then. Seeing you 7 years ago is special because i'm used to the more recent video. You were fine but you're more comfortable and natural at what you do. I guess your like fine wine...
that's the best bittersweet symphony loop cover I've seen.
Maybe you should start adding more bloopers to show you're human like everyone :)
I think he'd have to fake some :D
1994savvas you're wrong! Guitarists like him aren't human! Their Gods! 😂😂
What? Not superhuman you mean? 🤩
1994savvas but y tho
1994savvas maybe try counting in your head 🤯🤪
That was the best Magic cover I've ever seen, flawless😍
I've been playing guitar for 30 years and just got my first looper. I have also been playing drums for over 50 years so the looper was no problem. Had it mastered in about 2 hours. Absolutely love it should have bought one years ago.
Magic loop is professional!
great stuff you have here Paul.
man, I would listen to your rendition of Magic for like an hour straight. So good.
Double chorus of Dani California would have been cool too. First time around it's just lower power chords, second time a few harmony lines are added and it opens up really nicely. The entire song has bends and harmonies on top of each other but the double chorus sticks out especially imo
Yooooo, I got legitimately tears in my eyes GOOOOOSH I LOVE MUSIC
best looper for price is the ditto x4 . ( my opinion) best about it is the ability to loop once and stop
Every video you upload I start thinking more why I didn't pursue guitarplaying further in my youth. Inspiring stuff. Dankje :)
I need to get my tempo right. As you said for some songs the little delay is very noticable. Either way I'm glad you played songs I know and love. Nice Video
I've reached a point with your videos I hit the like button before I even see it. It never fails to live up to the high expectations! :-)
best channel ,the most relaxing, always brings smile to my face :)
Me wanna learn about the looper
Saw Paul Davids has covered this topic
YYYEEEAAAHHH it feels so good 😄
I don't watch your video to learn..i watch it because they are awesome
The shimmer in bittersweet symphony is gorgeous
I ve seen some of ur videos...but this one is the best
You can use the sound hole on an acoustic to loop other instruments. Shakers, tambourines, chimes, even vocals.
+jdiggitty Not on this guitar, but some do have a microphone in the soundhole indeed.
I like the synchronicity of the big black beard and the big black horse.
Good vid!
everytime i watch you, i feel the immediate urge to practice ;)
4 years later and Paul Davids is still in style...some guys get all the luck! Awesome videos
Just bought a boss rc-1 and I thank you for this video! I feel the hours will go by like minutes lol
this has been inspiring as i just got an RC-1 looper.
Big Black Horse And The Cherry Tree is the best loop pedal song EVER
oye , soy mexicano ,y cree me que no encontre a nadie que haga lo que tu haces ,neta aunque no entienda lo que dices eres el canal mas útil que he encontrado ,gran video
that guitar is beautiful
This is what music is all about, your skill motivates me to keep practicing
I almost like this intro version of Shape Of You more than Ed's own actual live version 👀😂
Same
I love that Strat.
If your acoustic has a microphone pickup inside you can loop vocals by shouting inside you guitar :o]
I've seen that done with microphonic electric guitar pickups, as well.
Real nice smooth rhythm ... Very nice playing
So cool! I remember a while ago I saw one of Ed Sheeran's studio sessions and it's definitely a great skill to have.
Not often do I hit that bell after I subscribe, but this was such a smooth and awesome tutorial. Bravo! Thanks for the content! I would love a newer version with an updated list of songs you have worked out!
For the new loopers out there, a huge part of looping is knowing when too much is. Don't overdo it
Less is more.
You're just too good Paul. You always make it look easy. And what you are doing is art.
i thought you shoe was a cheese burger 0:05
this video is the reason i became a patreon. great content.
I'm a drummer and a long time subscriber, and every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to learn guitar!!
Ok. That's it. I'm buying a loop pedal. 🤓
Thanks
great explanation and thanks for your precious time love your videos
Nothing like saying "kak" :) My favourite word in a related language, Afrikaans.
Paul - you can shred brother. Plus you’re personal. Keep it up my man.
thank you for all your explaining and tips.
been playing guitar for a while now and im going to start looping.
about your singing , i got a tip for you! :)
Dont bend the notes, on the big black horse song... just OEH OOOEEEHHH OOEEHH instead of OEH OOOEEEHHH OOEehh
keep it straight and you will notice it sounds a lot better, when bending (in harmonies) it will sound like your off pitch.
bye bye now, take care and thank you
Hey Paul!! Do you listen to Explosions In The Sky or Mogwai? They have some really cool songs that I have tried looping. You should try them yourself, maybe including them in a second part for this video (if you decide to make one of course)
I bought a loop pedal a few years ago and honestly I believe it's massively improved both my lead and rhythm playing. I love your videos Paul, keep up the amazing content! x
You're amazing, I could watch you create for hours, thank you
I just use them to write music. All that wizardy that you do escapes my domains
Hi Paul, I hardly call myself a guitarist (just some simple chord pickings for songs) but I keep watching your videos because they are so cool. Groetjes uit Denemarken.
Great vid, great beard.
I'm an Ed sheeran fan and I'm happy seeing you using loop makes me want to buy one.
Ps. Yes, I am inspired by Ed Sheeran, an average guitar player but thanks to him I verged into the complexity and beauty of music.
Don't judge meee
Its all good fam, I was also very inspired by Ed
@@calciferhotorobi8124 hey that's good man
Fuck me looks like I'm gonna spend money again. Only now have I realized I need a looping station
Marnix van Gorkum what did you get
You're a legend Paul
I just bought a looper pedal last week. Thankyou this video has opened my eyes up to all the possibilities
Paul, there's a guy in the background mimicking you.
I am getting some extra money coming in November. I am a busker, and want a backup. Rather than buying a cheap battery amp as a backup, I may now buy a Boss Cube Street 2. I now have a humbucking pickup combined with a microphone on my Alvarez guitar. This makes a great percussive sound. Also I think it will complement my fingerstyle playing.
I love looping, just got a new looper with MIDI sync to use with my drum machine
YOU ARE AMAZINGLY TALENTED
Man, your guitar technique is excellent. Very clean playing. Nice work...Thank you for posting!
My new Boss RC-1 has just arrived. I somehow had the feeling that Mr. Davids will be the perfect tutor to introduce me to looping. I wasn't wrong 🎸 great video 🤘
Hi Paul can you please elaborate a little bit about the mixer connection and the microphone for the vox. I have the same problem. (No xlr on my looper) You said you plugin both mic and guitar to the mixer, pan them both to the left and connect them to the amp. Where is your looper in the chain? Thanks.
+jax502 Ah yes, sorry. The output of the mixer -> looper -> amp.
Paul Davids Thanks for the quick reply!
Can you please tell me the name of that mixture , I want to buy it but don’t know how to search . Thankyou
These are great demos of a looper, however there are so many other things you can do. If you have 5 minutes you can just play a song from beginning to end instead of a small loop, and you can just play freely without worrying about tempo if you can predict what you are going to do, and are just playing rhythm, then a solo, or melody. Great for jotting down ideas, and trying them out.
Some musicians either love this technology or hate it. Anneke Van Giersbergen often did this loopi pedal stuff in her acoustic sets for both her guitar and vocals in the early 2010s but has dropped doing this stuff and prefers just the old fashion way of playing. Contemporary blues singer songwriter who does much more then Contemporary blues, Samantha Fish, said that she isn't a loopi pedal fan either when she was going over Tom Petty's American Girl song when she was playing this song in a demonstration. Some love it but others don't.
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome inspiring stuff!
Merci beaucoup!
"They just don't make the video's" KAK (💩)
Nice one 😂
I found the easiest to use looper was the BOSS RC30 . A must have for any pedal board :D
Perfect video at a perfect time
me: oh look a video
*shape of you starts playing*
me: nope
+C T02 Did you watch the rest? I promise you, you won't be disappointed 😎😉
C T02 shape of you is an awesome song. Stop being so fucking boring
A
Paul Davids ok the rest is better i just cant stand shape of you (your voice is very nice btw)
Felipe Santos im sorry i hurt your feelings it's okay to cry but dont take it so personal next time. bye for now
Without a doubt my favorite new channel. Thank you so much for such great videos!
I like the idea of this but how does one perform a song that has multiple chord progression structures? eg the chorus chords are completely different to the verses? Does the looper cater for these 'sections'??
if you get a looping pedal that has two banks - like the ditto xl - then you can have 2 different sections.
There are limits on what you can do with looping and it is a skill of its own, mostly though it comes down to how much you want to spend on a loop pedal and what features you want or need.
Guacamole this guy knows what his doing, good job!!!
WHERE IS WHITEWASHED BY BUCKETHEAD....sorry for all caps
Alternative Daft loop song?
Alternative Daft stfu
I hope everyone’s paying attention, because this dude is badass...
Dude you are AMAZING!!Your humor almost put me on the floor. Yeeesss thumbs up
Awesome video man! What do you use for the shimmer in the coldplay loop? Cheers
Sounds like something in the DAW -- maybe a long multi-tap delay effect?
A lot of reverb pedals do it like Fenders Marine layer reverb and the TC electronic flashback.
Man love your videos! You're definitely one of the best musician and producer out there. Don't stop and keep jammin'
Paul Davids you're one of the all time greats and Magic was stunning
Any Ed Sheeran song really lol
That's cause he performs them all solo with a loop pedal during his shows ;)
Hes the reason I bought one myself, he does some great stuff with it!
Howie Felterpuss if you like him, watch some Damien Rice concerts. That dude is awesome with a looper.
The best song he does with the loop is either YNMIDNY or Bloodstream
Trey anastasio is truly the master of the looper in building a whole soundscape with just a guitar. He leads a band with it called phish. Having said that, ed sheeran rocks it in his own way and I wouldn't even compare them. they're both great.
great video bro! really well put together
Great Job!
Why is there a £10 note on his thigh during Billie Jean?
Watch the video again, do you notice anything in Billie Jean he might have used it for? ;)
Duh!
You're awesome Paul.Love it
£5. Cheapskate.
Why did he have it?
You just took the words right out of my mouth.
You get an Insta Like.
It really sucks you have to pay for the tabs :(
No. Especially at such a low price.
James Mobley So he should work for free?
That John Mayer loop is incredible man! So is the MJ one. Well done!!
Great Paul as always!
