I have had a looper for a couple of years, but been afraid to use it. But I think it's time to dig it out. Big thanks

[TrikesterHal]

I'm seeing a practical use for a looper with our ukulele group! Once again you have been super useful.

[janetschwartz]

Your a lovely teacher.... I'm in my sixties and have just bought a looper for my ukes and you have helped me understand looping perfectly. I can't find anyone to play with ( all our clubs closed due to covid ) so I thought looping would give me a sensation of playing with someone else. Thanks

I SO love your videos! I'm new to the world of ukulele, and I always get such a great education from your videos. Plus, your accent is great! 😁👍

[leannevandermeer]

I just got a Lekato 3 track looper. Haven't learned to use it yet other than hooking it up and testing it. In hopes eventually to be my own one man band. Intermediate uke player have several types and sizes including uBass. Play congas and have a cajon and do sing and play some blues harps too. With all this I'm hoping to get set up to do busking, maybe small venues. I've watched many of your tutorials.
