Concise, informative, simple, fun, with some witty humor. In one word... Motivational

[TailwindJr]

I’ve been playing guitar for 60 years started when I was five and I still play it every day just by myself no one around except possibly my wife or my son but I do it because it makes me feel good inside and that’s all there is to anybody listening great if you’re not, that’s great too. I do it for me.

Recent subscriber…great content on your channel! Clear, concise, funny, informative and engaging. Thank you.

[niguel]

New subscriber. This is easily the best Looper lesson I’ve seen. A horse with no name is a great starting point. I speak a someone who has struggled with this. Thanks.

[terryadams]

thank you. playing acoustic for years. 73 years old. Looping ? what? i thought. BS heard of it. Im gonna try thank you

[mrp]

I bought a looper a couple of years ago, gonna have to dig it out and try again after watching this. certainly helpful.

[justnik]

This is awesome. Cant thank you enough from a 50 yr old late bloomer from Australia. Just subbed.

[pastoredward]

Way cool! I've played acoustic for 50 years (self taught, praise and worship)... and am finally trying some new techniques! Was looking for somebody to encourage me, the "old guy, " and start from the beginning, explain, and demo. THANK YOU! WOO HOO! (THANK YOU! WOO HOO!) Time to go looping!😀

[VikingHero]

My looping skills have been sub par. I want to thank you for this amazing tutorial on looping.

[BabyBoomerChannel]

I've always found looper pedals to be complicated - thank you for your simplified lesson. It was genius of you to use 2, 3, 4 chord songs for demo. Thanks!

Frank, I love that your channel is here to “get us gig ready”. Currently my idea of a gig is playing with friends and family. For example, this Summer I plan to play again at my cousin’s annual family bash. We usually have drums, bass, keys and my brother in law playing rhythm guitar and singing. He is the only one truly gig ready. Your video turned on a light bulb for me. I can use my looper to practice the guitar fills and layers that I try to add songs in the set list. Such a simple idea but I never thought about it. I was just occasionally using the looper as a something to improv to. Thanks again and keep the content coming✌️

[JohnnyHurbonConnections]

You solved my loop dilemma . I used to miss my start position, you start your groove for a few strums first and then started loop after you got to the beginning of the strum riff. Thanks Frank !

[LicksoftheLegend]

Frank you are totally killing it man. The content has quality is awesome and I love seeing your sub numbers getting so high. Keep it up man!

[peterarmstrong]

Thanks for this more "basic" introduction to looping... although I'm sure it will still be a great challenge for me, but the way you have presented this lesson gives me confidence to jump in....

[saitenfuxx]

Die Option, eine Aufnahme zu löschen und wieder einzufügen, als Gestaltungselement zu nutzen, ist super. Danke für diesen Tipp. Toll erklärt. Ich nutze auch den Ditto Looper

[jeffwickermusic]

I bought an RC-500, around three years ago and could never get the hang of it. I just got frustrated and haven’t touched it since. Your video is very inspiring and helpful! I will will have to try again. Being a soloist I definitely see the advantages of a looper.
I didn’t think I could ever Travis pick landslide till I watched your videos for that, so perhaps there is hope for me using a looper, Lol!
I really appreciate you Frank,
I love all your videos and enjoy them very much. You are making a difference in people’s lives! keep up the great work! 😎👍🎸

[alshastokas]

I have a similar looper and this answered some questions. Thank you.

[tomdaoust]

Very good demo. I'm recently the proud owner of a Martin D-18. I've been playing an electric guitar for 50 years and have finally decided to learn fingerpicking on an acoustic guitar. I've also been playing by myself and I wanted to find a way to accompany myself. Your introduction to looping has me excited. Thanks for the help. I'm hooked on looping.

[gordondoiron]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 been looking for this kind of video for months!

[giulioluzzardi]

Great little gizmo. I plugged a minimixer in and ran drum machine, voice, guitar and a jews harp to try and get some spaghetti western type things going. It was so funny cos a random geezer passed by and said " Gimme drink" so I looped it and played it which had the 25 strong audience in stitches peeing themselves drink.
