Hey! Just wanted to let you know that I find your Ableton for guitar players videos an indispensable tool for practicing and composing, and working with Ableton. Not too many other guitar teachers out there cover this essential skill/tool...so I appreciate your efforts!

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

That means a ton! Ableton really changed my guitar playing for the better. Appreciate you!

[@St.TaklaHaymanot12]

Awesome Sir ! You're a natural teacher ... and the pop-up captions were very helpful! Keep on producing brother, thanks!

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Jason!! Thanks so much man. I really appreciate that.

[@Matt-1d]

Thanks so much--this video is super helpful. I've been using Ableton for exactly this purpose for the past six months or so, and you probably just cut my workflow time in half.

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Matt!! That’s so awesome man. Glad it was helpful. I truly love Ableton and hoping to do more of these.

[@Matt-1d]

@@DanielSeriffMusic looking forward to those videos. Quick question. I’ve been programming in drum tracks using a mouse, in the same way that you demonstrated. Do you think using a small midi keyboard would be easier?

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

I much prefer clicking the notes in but some people prefer the midi keyboard.

[@Matt-1d]

@@DanielSeriffMusic Excellent, thanks!

[@timzyk]

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Thanks so much for watching.

Just got Ableton Line Lite 12 A really helpful video sir. Thank you :)

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Awesome! Glad it was helpful.

[@TheMack]

Great video! Sweet and to the point, no fluff and yet very structured and easy to follow! I want more! :)

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Excellent!! So glad you enjoyed it. Trying to do more of these because I love Ableton so much as a practice tool.

[@TheMack]

@@DanielSeriffMusic Thats sounds great! I'm a Logic Pro user and I like it a whole lot, but I'm intrigued by Ableton Live and its workflow. Maybe it can be an avenue to even more musical inspiration. I have subscribed so I won't miss any of your (hopefully) upcoming Ableton videos =)

[@starwarz8479]

Thank you so much sir! Im new wtih guitar, can you share your hardware setup( audio interface, monitors, and etc...)

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Hey cool! I'm using a UAD Apollo for my guitar sounds. Miked a cab in the other room with a royer 121, sm57. The monitors I recently upgraded to Focals because I got an amazing deal. Mac computer.

[@wkmetaal]

Thank you, this is what i was looking for.

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Fantastic

[@philjames1019]

Really enjoyed this video, although my DAW of choice is Reaper. Confident I can use some of these tips on it, especially the drum and metronome advice. Thanks for all you do ..... I subscribed last week, guitar lessons are awesome. Loved the Midnight In Harlem jam!! Cheers Daniel, all your work is so much appreciated!!

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Hey Phil! Thanks so much man. Glad to have you here and happy that it was helpful! These idea definitely translate to other DAWs.

[@javierf55]

Great video, one advise. Once you define the drums track, go to warp and select lead in the options that are below warp. For the other tracks, select follow. That way, all other tracks will sync to drums.

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Thanks for the comment. That's really interesting... I've never needed to do that and all the tracks always follow the drums because they are sycned via the global tempo. I will check into that but it doesn't seem necessary.

[@javierf55]

I would love to see a video of making a 6/8 12 bar blues including chords, guitar solo AND guitar warp example. Too much? Thanks for your videos, all so well explained.

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

That sounds like fun. I’m into it!

[@javierf55]

@@DanielSeriffMusic Yessss!!!!!

[@m0n3y5h07]

Great tutorial! One quick question : How do I loop that 8 bars I just created?

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

It will automatically loop as long as the play head is triggered.

[@captainnemo9628]

Which **minimum** version of Ableton Live do you need to do this: Lite, Standard or Suite ?

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

$99 entry level works just fine

[@john_atco]

Ableton has neglected live guitar playing for far to long...BIG MISTAKE Ableton...Many people are tired of Techno etc etc.

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Interesting
