Blues Guitar Lesson On What To Play Into Your Looper For Practicing

As you've probably noticed, I'm a big fan of looper pedals...
Back in the old days, I literally used to sit with a cassette deck and play a groove into it for several minutes, then rewind the tape and practice soloing over it...
With a looper I can be jamming in just a few minutes.
But, you have to know what to play, so I'm going to give you some ideas using my basic 3 grooves that I always use. Of course, you can vary them, but this is a good place to start.

I am learning how to use my guitar like a bass and snare drum. I am glad I found you here. Now, all I have to do is practice, practice, practice now, lol. Thank you Griff.

Great refresher lesson for the Looper as usual timing is everything for the use of a Looper. I am currently using Key of A 12 Bar- Blues with Straight Feel, so that I can play the Solo 1 in key of A of Lesson 18 of your Course Blues Guitar Unleashed Vol 2, page 63. The Looper really helps. Also I have the Digitech TRIO Band Creator where you just need 2 Bars of A to get the Drums and Bass going to the tempo you started with but you can modify it to suit what you are trying to do. Thanks for the lesson Griff a great refresher.

I am just learning how to use my looper pedal. It is a Ditto +.

[@ilovegitaar]

Thx

[@garybanke372]

Thanks Griff. I'm just starting to use my looper, Boss RC3. It sure lets you know if your timing is bad. I'm thinking of trying a metronome to help with that. Is that something you would recommend?

[@650thunderbird5]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@meldeer6253]

what Looper do you like best and im not a beginner but never had a looper,, it would be noce if they made a looper pedal with drums,panio ? vocal track .... thank you you made this look easy iv allways had the shuffel or gruve for blues .... thank you

[@stevestrang480]

What brand looper do you use?

[@robertbarnaba241]

Hey Griff ! Do you prefer your Suhr over your vintage strat ? Seems to be your go to..

[@bluesguitarunleashed]

I have subtle things that nudge me one way or the other on both. The 69 has the vintage warmth, but I prefer the neck shape on the Suhr... it's hard to pick a winner.

[@robertbarnaba241]

I have a newer mod shop strat. I have yet to play a Suhr. Looking forward to trying one. Thanks, have a good evening!

[@yuriherreraburstein2255]

Very nice. Do you use to work with the hole 12 bars progression or do you record a couple of bars only before soloing?

[@bluesguitarunleashed]

Depends on what I'm working on. If I'm working on something for a specific chord or chord change, I'll start with just that, and later do the whole 12 bar form.

[@yuriherreraburstein2255]

Thanks. Do you have a video on soloing over your own track recorded in the looper pedal? @@bluesguitarunleashed

[@sharkair2839]

are those your amps? or is it dropped into the green screen?

[@bluesguitarunleashed]

They are mine... I've acquired quite a few over the last 30 years and I have to put them somewhere... might as well be against my backdrop :)

[@jeffrowlette]

I mute with both hands
