How to loop Englishman in New York by Sting

Teaching you how to loop Englishman in New York by Sting (and NOT the Police) 😂 This is how I loop it all in one loop as seen in this video: • Englishman In New York...
Thanks to Markus for suggesting I make this tutorial on how to loop it, and I hope it gives you a new song for your loop repertoire man!
In both videos I'm using the Voicelive 3 for the loops, and for the different sounds and guitar tones including the bass. amzn.to/2J5Pza9
The bass tone video I reference in this loop tutorial is - • How I get my Bass Guit...
PS. Who saw the original Englishman in New York cover I uploaded before seeing this tutorial? 🤔🤷‍♂️

Quick shortcut guide ---> Part 1: 1:05 Part 2: 4:56 Part 3: 6:28 Part 4: 7:42 After that I talk about breaking down the bridge, my tone/fx for playing over the loop, and a little bit about the solo and chorus sections. Have fun!

There are people who are amazing at what they do, and there are people who are great teaching what they do. You sir are both. Your enthusiasm is the cherry on top. Glad I subscribed to you!

It would be awesome if you did a tutorial on your guitar solo. It sound so cool 😎. Thanks for the looping lesson. 👍

[@gavolochh]

Hey David - love these explanation videos. Each Thursday during Covid lockdown I play as part of a virtual open mic and did this track. Copied most of your layers but added some melodica for fun :) It was very well appreciated - I gave you the credit :) Many thanks - keep em coming please

[@davidshanhun]

Hey Gavin! Awesome you got a cool version out of this including melodica too! 💪 Cheers for the mention as well. I'll be back creating from later this week! 😊

[@dancassidy7471]

[@davidshanhun]

Cheers Dan!

[@daythomas766]

Thanks so much for a really helpful video! Your version of this song is absolutely brilliant! Ive just got my first loop pedal, im under no illusions that I will get anywhere near this level but excited to try and put something together! Thanks again and have a great day!

[@davidshanhun]

[@groclency]

many thanks i love this , you make it so simple

[@davidshanhun]

Thankyou Clency!

[@wanshengeurope6830]

Hi David, I love your loopings so thank you for all your video's. Just a question, I have also bought a octaver but when I put it on, the sound just sounds awful, it is an distorted sound that I get. Do you have any idea what the reason is for that? Your bass sound sounds awesome. Thanks and regards Michel

[@davidshanhun]

Hi there - can you tell me which Octave pedal you have bought? If it's the oc-3 there are a couple of options on it, one of which is a distorted bass haha. Let me know the pedal you've got and we'll figure it out from there!

[@yannickbarbe]

Awesome !! Could you please tell me what kind of "mode" (i don't how to translate that ?) éolien ? dorien ? do you use for solo guitar. Tha's sond really good and your english is easy to understand !! Thank you so much

[@davidshanhun]

Hi John! Nice to say hi on the live session the other night. The Mode is Aeolian - A minor with a b7. (My guitar is tuned to Eb however, so it is likely Ab Aeolian! Happy practising!

[@benjaminschatz4350]

Hey David, thank you for your covers, I really enjoy them ! I love the sound of your setup too :). I have been wondering what is the guitar you are using, it seems to be a really nice one to play with a looper !

[@davidshanhun]

Heya, this gat is a Takamine ND15c.

[@mitchthomas1562]

Love this tutorial! Thanks! For the lead part, how do you dial in the gain for the acoustic lead sound? Do you keep it relatively low on the pedal and then dial in the volume? Just was curious how you found the balance. Sounded great!

[@martinhlavac1657]

Thanks a lot!

[@markusistadlirhus5849]

Thank you so much!

[@davidshanhun]

you're welcome! Thanks for suggesting it!

[@sulonilhan4558]

Thank you

[@davidshanhun]

most welcome!

[@dustinporter1776]

Fantastic job! Such a great song for acoustic. What are the chords in the bridge?

[@davidshanhun]

heya! C / G / Am / E7 / F / G / Gdim / Am. this is all down a tone from the original from memory :) Happy playing!

[@peterpervers1061]

Prädikat: Wertvoll !

[@davidshanhun]

thanks :)

[@rockinghorses]

Great, I’ll give this a go.

[@davidshanhun]

happy playing around with it - let me know how you go!

[@pierpaolozanelli6928]

Besides being a good guitarist, you are also enjoyable . how can you organize the jazz section of Sting's song with just the guitar?

[@davidshanhun]

thanks :) I tend to simply keep the same groove and do an improv solo. You could happily set up a different groove as a loop to play over at this point also if you wished though.

[@DaveSmith-wn2kj]

The bum note made it sound really quite cool IMO.

[@davidshanhun]

haha yeah I actually really liked it when i listened back - I surprised myself with it when i was jamming and had to sneak off it quickly, but it actually works nicely eh!

[@DaveSmith-wn2kj]

@@davidshanhun Makes it sound somewhat "Lukatheresque" :p

[@hafifiraslin4809]

No more slash on my list iconic.. Now its u.. Can u do love song the cure?

[@davwal8094]

Hi David, thanks for your explanations. I love how you play this song. And now, I try to do it like you. But, I wondered what is the scale you use to improvise? Thanks again and now I watch all your videos from France ;)

[@davidshanhun]

How are you going with it? The scale is A minor or C major that is my basis for the solo here - or at least that's how I imagine it even though I'm tuned to Eb etc (so you'll actually hear it like Ab minor/Bmajor). I chat a bit through the solo ideas I use in Englishman in New York in this video if it's useful to you :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZq3Y4t6lsmLbLc

[@davidshanhun]

and also... hello from New Zealand to France! 😊hope all is ok over there for you!

[@zenrikbarbosa409]

👏👏👏

[@briantyhy4880]

cool picking pattern.

[@davidshanhun]

cheers!

[@MatONeill]

BOOM!

[@davidshanhun]

🎵 Ain’t no virus strong enough, to keep me from sharing video’s for you... 🎶 ...ok so don’t take my word for it, but so far at least we can still make video eh? How are things in your world atm?

[@MatONeill]

@@davidshanhun Not too bad - we haven't started drinking the bath water yet. A few gig postponements that will test our meagre savings to the max, so we're hoping that a bandcamp album will bring in enough to keep the lights going. If you could share it when it's baked, I'd be mighty grateful. I'm sure you know but Bandcamp are waiving royalties tomorrow (friday). It's 8.30 am here - so I have 24 hours to mix and master 9 tracks. Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up the crack. Love ya man - be safe :)

[@davidshanhun]

@@MatONeill just saw it in my email brother - good work matey and awesome to see that you made it happen. Will share shortly :) Interesting mix here in the scene - a lot of muso's have simply gone to 0 for upcoming gigs booked, but there are also still quite a few gigs happening atm. Seems to take a bit more work to lift people to have a laugh but still possible, and there's more people than ever before searching for entertainment online. Some unique opportunities around for some cool new online gig options that we probably haven't had before!

[@MatONeill]

@@davidshanhun Thanks so much David, great to hear that things are still ticking along over there. We're approaching enforced lockdown I think, so we'll have to see what happens. Looks like I'll have to explore live streaming sooner than I had anticipated! By the way sorry to ask in the comments about sharing the thing - I should have done tht in a private message!

[@davidshanhun]

@@MatONeill All good mate - hope it went well for you. Got a share out in Facebook land and it got shared to Japan too for you - hopefully it got some traction on your end 😊

[@pavelpershin]

Very nice!

[@davidshanhun]

Thank you :)

[@Chrono1894]

Small section, probably improvised... Still Amazing! 11:40

[@davidshanhun]

Thanks 😊

[@riannedalemusic1899]

What looper pedal did you use here?

[@davidshanhun]

Heya, I'm using the Voicelive 3. It's all in the description if you want more info :)

[@DarylNotDead]

He reminds me of The Train Guy that Bob Mortimer does on instagram. 👍🏻

[@davidshanhun]

....off to look this up 😂

[@hardlines2635]

I’ve watched sting playing this song many times, you are good but this looks nothing like how he plays it.

[@davidshanhun]

Cheers Ray Ray! It's showing you how I play this particular version (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHXNaZ56j6edmsU) so I'd be very surprised if it looked at all like Sting playing it! Cheers though!
