This is a must for people that wanna practice but end up noodling and hit that one amazing riff that you'd forget the minute you're done playing

[Fstop]

finally someone who explains it simply

Brian LeMert is a fantastic musician. No wonder he explains and demonstrates these things so well.

"If I hold it erases." Nice.

this is such a quick and simple explanation, love that I don't have to waste time over a 20 minute video i'd understand in 5

Wow. I never thought of using my looper to create a pad. Did you use the guitar volume knob to eliminate the string attack? What chords did you use? Please do a more in-depth video on this technique. Thank you!!

Could also add that you can use it as a Metronome. Tap the pedal to START RECORDING and instantly play a single note, then tap the pedal to STOP RECORDING. This will make a perfect metronome, as it is simply repeating one note. For example, if you're tapping a tempo with your foot (1, 2, 3, 4) you would tap the looper on beat 1 while simultaneously playing a note, then tap again on beat 2.

Wow! Thanks for the tutorial mr. Kurt Angle

Great explanation.

I have a looper setting on my delay pedal. My biggest problem is “closing the loop.” When I play, I keep my pedal board next to me; not on the floor; much easier to change settings that way. But it usually takes a second for me to hit the button, after I’m finished playing a segment of music, so I end up with an awkward pause between loops. I wish there was a simple way to crop the loop and close that gap.

I bet everyone want a Looper Pedal now ! thank you so much for your amazing videos ♥

[hdawgchills]

I've got my first loop pedal coming tomorrow. I'm so excited. Thanks for this awesome tutorial :)

How do you sync perfectly though lmao loopers are tricky

[michael_caz_nyc]

Great explanation & demo. I Love Sweetwater Music. I have been a Customer since 1993. They really-are The Best. - Michael - NYC -

[paulussantosociwidjaja]

Wow, very "cunning" way especially love the pad loop lol. Thanks for the musical ideas. Cool!

[henryhunter]

Nice simple demo. I have a Jam Man, it’s a nice easy to use looper. I actually find myself using more often than my much more highly sophisticated and expensive Boss looper.

[MetaLeir]

So when a pedal's descrption says the thing has got "12 minutes of looping time" what does it mean?
Does it mean I get to store loops as long as 12 minutes?
Or does it mean all of my loops together should never exceed 12 minutes?

[kraytkopacki]

Best explanation video for a looper tbh. Im gonna get this pedal because as a beginer i find the light indicators very helpful and reasonably priced.

[BrothersTires]

that riff at 2:55 was so tasteful good job my man

[MikeKeller]

This was pretty great and straightforward. Only think that might have made it better is putting the pedal in the lower right of the picture so we could see when you were hitting the pedal while overdubbing. Two thumbs up.
