Just wanted to come on here and thank you for that looper website. I feel it's something a lot of guitar players wish they knew about earlier (at least I did)!

[lala-everyonescrazyaunt]

My vote is for these to be a series! 👏👏👏

[endezeichengrimm]

This is one of the earliest riffs I learned. It's good for learning to switch between strings.

I used to play this song back in the '80's when I was in a metal band. This was our last song of the set. You pretty much nailed it. There's so many changes in this song it took us weeks to get it right.

[RachelfGuitar]

Let me know what other riffs you'd like me to try in this format :)

[Joybuzzard]

I'm old, so youtube wasn't a thing when I was learning. I used to learn techniques by going to local shows and watching guitar players fingers, and then try to learn riffs from songs I liked by ear at home and my mistakes became riffs for my own songs.
Your videos are fun to watch because you're basically doing it the same way I learned and it reminds me of how fun the process was.

[AgusVilla.]

I didn't know you had an amazing website to learn songs!! You're amazing Rachel, keep it up! Cheers.

[AmaryxYT]

I really like your looper app, it helps a ton! Great lesson!

[georgejones]

I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you again for all the help and motivation.

[sonnercampbell]

Your looper app is really good, I used it a lot last October when I was learning the lead parts of don’t fear the reaper; I struggle the most with playing lead so I used that song to try to improve my playing, and your app really helped me. I have a similar feature on my positive grid spark amp’s app but I think I like your app’s UI better, it’s very easy to use. Thanks 🙂👍🎸

[Rocktalk]

Great classic metallica song and lots of fun to play I have been playing that song and riff for well over 20 plus years now keep rocking!

[sdgqjrm]

More please! You're a great teacher - clear and concise. Thanks for the looper too, so useful for learning new songs

[mosin]

Definitely, make it a series! You’re awesome!

[WacoFlier]

Rachel, thanks so much for this looper app; it's a game changer for me! I didn't take up guitar till after age 60 and at 63 my progress is much slower than I'd like. My ear only tells me it's wrong. Slowing and looping is a BIG help!

[jeemalsoknownasjimhawkins]

Rachelf: Once again, an amazing video and what a great learning tool you have provided for your many followers. Brava, brava, brava! Cheers.

[rvk]

thanks for starting with something easier. sounds great, definitely got to check this one out.

[jcwm]

And that's how it's done. Great insight on learning by ear. Well done!

[vintagetrk]

Really love your videos. You've been such an inspiration to me. Love your smile and positive attitude. Please do more lesson videos.

[markbowers]

Great job Rachel ! Awesome you've gone from just learning your self to helping others learn ! Its great to learn like this by really using your ears. It's really good ear training 🎸

[nubonguitar]

Me- struggling with songs I have tabs for from 2019.

Rachel- meh, let me listen to a song and learn it today.

Lady, you would easily make Jack Butler cry!!
