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.

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.

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.

[kaypee]

I must just accept that it is much nicer listening to Pete than trying on my own. Reality can hurt.

[djffe]

Finally somebody on YouTube playing my style of music instead of heavy-metal and crunch guitar all day long thank you thank you.

[kerrywilliams]

All guitarist need 3 things: metronome, tuner and a good looper! Great vid. Thanks.

[lukin]

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.

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.

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.

Thank you Pete, there’s always ‘summer’ in your playing.

[paultaylor]

The coming in on the one solved all my timing Legend... Its only easy when u have the right answer to the right question.

[PeteBreen]

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.

Like accomplished guitarists, teachers all have their own style. Pete, I like your style. Always room for another great instructor at The University of YouTube.

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.

[Silkaz]

You should be more active on your channel. We would all watch. Great playing mate!

[leanderperera]

This is one of the few videos I've seen that goes through all of the functions of a looper. Thank you.

[Adventurer_Dave]

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 🎸

[dallanby]

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.

[thomasfisher]

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

[GundogJake]

I’ve had an rc10 for months, barely scratched the surface of its ability. Some good tips here!
