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.

My peeps! I tried to explain that very thing to a couple of people who dared to ask over the years. I’m very selfish when it comes to performing music. I do it all for me. I’m not interested in attention, praise or appreciation. I love doing music because it’s one of the few things in life that actually makes me genuinely happy when I do it. Always has.

@@telbon8869 totally agree!...

[@pmerkaba]

I purchased a JamMan SoloXT around three years ago but I could never get the hang of it. I became so frustrated that I thought it was too complicated for me and I haven't touched it since. I even considered selling it. After watching your video, my perspective changed and I decided to dust it off and give it another try. Maybe the JamMan is too advanced for a looping beginner, but I am not a beginner when it comes to music. I've been a guitarist/musician for over 20 years. Your video was so helpful that I decided to give it another try. I really appreciate you, Frank, and I want to thank you for your excellent teaching and presentation. I am forever grateful.

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks so much for posting this. You can definitely do it. Enjoy the process and you can never lose:)

[@Edricofifrit]

Back in 94 when I was just starting to get the hang of the guitar enough to experiment without it just being joyful noise, I had nobody to jam with. I did have a collection of salvaged electronics and enough know how to build my own super sketchy, ghetto looping setup, using 3 old tape decks with makeshift foot switches. There was a lot of stopping and rewinding but I eventually figured out how to cut part of the tape with a good starter riff like this one so that it loops back onto itself, sort of like a tape echo deck (which I didn't know was a thing until recently lol). I was pretty damn proud of it and the music I could make all by myself, I couldn't wait to show it to my dad, he was in the hospital when I built it,. I was gonna show it to him when he got home, but he never got to come home. He told me he was proud of me the last time I talked to him, which was nice. Things kinda unraveled with him gone, though, and one thing and another got between me and my love for music because less than a year later all my music gear was long gone. About a month ago I got all new (and modern) music gear and already I'm able to play way better than when I was a kid. It pains me to think how well I'd be able to play if I'd never set it down. This video brought back some good and bad memories, mostly good though! Kids: NEVER put your instrument down, make them pry it from your old, dead hands!

[@FrankPersico]

Wow man that is a moving and touching story. I think many here can relate to that. I know I can. Thanks for sharing. If you haven’t already seen this video check it out.

That is such a moving story. I love your ingenuity. The things we did before all this technology. I'm grateful to my Father in Law for starting my guitar journey in 2007. He left me his battered old guitar and all his guitar stuff when he died. I'd never played before but I am a pianist so musically minded. 17 years later I've now got 5 guitars and grade 8 Acoustic with Distinction. It's just a shame he never heard me play. I'm sure they are listening from above though. 😊😊

[@marshallkohlhaas80]

On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la la la la la... After two days in the desert sun My skin began to turn red And after three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la la la la la... After nine days I let the horse run free 'Cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with its life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la la la la la...

I have played with my looper/drum machine for months on and off…never really felt like I had the confidence to call myself “good at it”…I’ll keep playing and trying, this video was a great reminder, on fluency with the looper! Cheers mate, and thank you from 🇨🇦

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks for sharing!

[@TheWilliamHoganExperience]

Learning to loop well is the single best thing a guitarist can do to improve thier timing and playing in general, outside of actually gigging. Looping while gigging will supercharge your progress, but beware: Looping is HARD. I've been doing it for 8 years now, and while my profciency has grown immensely, it's always a high-wire act. Tommy Emmanuel, one of the greatest acoustic players of all times says the same thing. "You never know what's going to happen" playing live with a looper. A looper won't cover for you the way a good band will when you make a mistake. It doesn't care about your feelings. It just plays back exactly what you play into it. If you are going to perform, get a looper with a dedicated "STOP" botton, or you'll be in double tap hell trying to stop the thing on the beat. The need for precise timing and its absolute sonic fidelity are it's greatest strengths as a teaching tool, and it's most dangerous flaws as an accompaniest when gigging. You've been warned. ;-)

[@FrankPersico]

[@richardg5938]

Frank, clear as a bell how to use. I've had a looper for a few years. Never used it because never really got the hang of it especially the timing. Your counting in and out has switched the light on! Going to give it another go. Thank you.

[@FrankPersico]

I’m happy to hear!

[@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 !

[@FrankPersico]

Great to hear! Eventually you will get to the point where you will be able to catch it on the first go round if you practice the particular loop enough.

[@AndreaWinzor]

I was given a RC-5 for Christmas 2022 and been terrified of it ever since. Time to slay 💪🏽 Thankyou☺️

[@russr1338]

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✌️

[@FrankPersico]

Awesome glad to have u here. The looper is definitely a great practice tool!! Best of luck at the gig. Give em hell lol

[@mritchea]

Some of the best advice I’ve heard was to start and end on the 1, definitely helped with my timing issues.

[@michaelknight4041]

I got a boomerang phrase sampler, I think it was one of the first good dedicated loopers. Its hugh but it sounds great especially ran from the send of an effects loop and then output to a separate amp. This keeps the playback from muddying up the main amp. The buttons are great for precise timing and getting in and out of the loop without glitches. Its set up super simple like a tape player which makes it very intuitive. Ive tried the ditto pedals and found they're a little clunky when it comes to precise control. The whole double click to do this, hold down to do this is just hard to make work on the fly

[@FrankPersico]

Great to hear: thanks for the comment

[@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.

[@FrankPersico]

That’s awesome. Congrats on the D-18. Can’t go wrong with one of those ever. Welcome to the channel

[@johnsammons9788]

Thank you for taking the time to share these techniques. Looping is something that many guitarists assume you should just know how to do. I must admit it can be humbling trying to get the rhythm right. You make it look so easy!

[@FrankPersico]

A lot of times peoples issues with looping actually a timing issue on the instrument itself. (Not saying that’s in your case) but it deff can be humbling. Just forces us to correct bad habits. Kind of like playing to a metronome does. Thank you for the comment I appreciate it.

I bought the same Ditto pedal a year ago but haven’t been motivated to use it because I thought it was going to be complicated/frustrating. Your video was exactly what i needed, thanks.

Just purchased a loop pedal with the added feature of sync. I will be using this pedal as a recording tool for my synthesizers. Years ago I owned a synth with a built in phrase looper, worked great but took up to much room in my studio, so I traded it for desk top synth. Phrase looping, an old idea, with a new slant, perhaps. Laying down tracks can be a time consuming process for an electronic musician.. bar/beat/tick. Are loopers a beneficial tool for a musician, absolutely!

Have amps with built in loopers . Over the decades, have never been able to time it correctly and gave up. Many of my songs have 8-12 chords ( plus the bridge). Maybe this video will help. Thank you.

[@FrankPersico]

You can do it!

[@joecool5670]

You can't imagine how usefull that lesson was!🎉 Cheers

[@FrankPersico]

Glad to hear !! Thank u

[@-JD56]

I might try this, after practicing guitar for over 50 years, lol thanks , it wasn't to technical.

[@FrankPersico]

Awesome! Go for it

[@briancappelli6391]

That's a great easy lesson for beginners. I've been using my looper for a few years on and off and I just learned a few things myself. That's great man we keep on keepin on

[@FrankPersico]

Much appreciated

[@jimross9429]

Great lesson, I have that pedal and never really used it because I just couldn’t get it right. After watching this I’m stoked about giving it a try again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this.

[@FrankPersico]

Happy to help!

[@gregclohessy3369]

Having just bought my first loop pedal, your video was great and timely 👍

[@FrankPersico]

Great to hear!

[@sydneyleigh3108]

This was brilliant. thank you so much. I'm going to ask Santa for a looper for Christmas. 😁 I was a bit bothered they were too complicated for me but this was explained so clearly that I'm totally inspired now. I can play all those songs too so they will be my starting point. Thanks so much from sunny (yes!) England. Off to look at your channel now. 😆😆🎸🎸

[@FrankPersico]

Glad it was helpful! Definitely get one! It will inspire you:)

[@mattbrook-lee7732]

Love the video and 3 great song suggestions. I use a boss rc1. You can add a separate footswitch to get one click start stop and undo. Built the switch using 2 switches and a box for about £10. The single click makes life much easier.

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks for the tip! Great idea

[@wmarceloaraujo]

Não sei nada de inglês e entendi toda sua aula, muito obrigado!

[@FrankPersico]

Thank you. 🙏

[@TVguy9999]

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

[@FrankPersico]

Welcome aboard! Thanks so much

[@paulpereira5231]

You just made me wanna take out my Boss RC30 loop station, thanks !!

[@FrankPersico]

Glad to hear it!

[@VinnieM62]

Thanks Frank love your channel as a guitarist who enjoys looping. I have a electro harmonix 720 and I use it for creating loops then soloing over in the absence of vocals. I like the fade option of the 720 rather than the straight stop button. Keep those songs suggestions coming - awesome work!

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks for commenting and sharing w us. I will try my best to keep good material flowing

[@emmettnoble1865]

I'm glad I found your video. I'm new to looping. There are songs out there I want to play, but I can't play three guitars at one time, so I don't even learn those songs. You gave me some hope. Thanks for the information. I'm going to start with " Susie Q "

[@FrankPersico]

Awesome. I’m glad you found it too:) hope to have you as a subscriber :) all the best

[@riffdigger2133]

Have the Boss RC-1 looper with the square foot pad that I Iike -albeit abit pricey, the Donner Triple Looper with a temperamental click switch, the Loopy Pro (software) for the iPad that is sound triggered and just yesterday purchased the Sonic Cake looper. A looper for every amplifier room in the house, I guess. Great to play back what you think may or may not be great. Learning and enjoyment. Thank you for the great review and how to practice looping skills on specific songs.

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks for the comment. Wish u the best.

[@54fighting5]

Great job on simplifying this. I've had an RC 20 for years gathering dust because I could never get the hang of it. I think its time to visit the gear closet😁👍 Thank you for sharing

[@FrankPersico]

Deff bust it out. Look at it as just a fun game and not a daunting task ;)

[@LukeDrew-l6u]

Great that you use a brand and type of looper, I've seen before ( never used one though). And great that you showed us how it can be used.. how to do it, and the results you can attain.. I'm off to buy my first looper, knowing I've seen what the one I'm buying can do. Cheers !

[@FrankPersico]

Go for it and please let me know your progress

[@edgardodomingo5029]

Thank you for the knowledge. Now I know what to do with my looper that was kept in the fridge for couple of months ago due to ignorance. big HUG fr Phuket❤

[@FrankPersico]

Rock on!🤘

[@rickroche583]

Just found you (so to speak) and wanted to say thanks for the greta lessons. Looping maybe too advanced for me right now but I am going to check your other content. Really, Thank you Frank

[@FrankPersico]

You are welcome. I will try to add more beginner style content as well. The channel is just getting going and I have plans to include more basic lessons too:)

[@NewFalconerRecords]

New subscriber right here. i really like your no nonsense but lighthearted style. I've only just started performing for older people in aged care homes and community centres. It's interesting how older people are a lot younger in their musical tastes than you'd think they'd be. But when you consider that surviving members of the Beatles and Rolling Stones for example are in their 80s now, it's a more fun time than ever to be doing this sort of work. I'm enjoying your videos a lot. Very inspiring.

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks so much. It’s definitely scary how the old people don’t seem that old to me anymore lol

[@davetrumpet1]

I love your positivity and how you keep in mind the ultimate goal is to play out.

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks so much. More vids to come

[@bobholcomb4543]

Great video. I'd always been intimidated by loopers, now I'm having fun. Thanks!

[@FrankPersico]

You can do it! Enjoy

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Upstate NY. Love the Gibson acoustic guitar...

[@FrankPersico]

Hey there. Love it upstate. I’m a big fly fisherman!! Thanks for the comment

[@ansilatoms]

Brilliant. I use Horsey Noname as a beginning song for students.

[@FrankPersico]

Agree. Amazing how it is such a good song as well.

[@comicmorphiclong-boxevolut4773]

Not getting gig ready, but fun ready!

[@FrankPersico]

Just as important 😀

[@larryborshard7824]

Super thanks, Frank! Can't wait to get a looper and try some harmony leads like on The Boys Are Back in Town, or Still the One, or Revival. Should be a super fun challenge!

[@FrankPersico]

That’s a great idea. Good luck!

[@CPaiva99]

Thank you for this easy and simple lesson ! Definitely will buy one ! Follower now !👊

[@FrankPersico]

Welcome aboard!

[@bugsii99]

Great video…. Thanks! I think once somebody body learns to use a pedal, it becomes intuitive, and for most it’s easy to forget how to teach something that becomes intuitively obvious… like teaching some how to tie their shoes. But you nailed it!

[@FrankPersico]

Eventually it gets to be easier but believe me I still screw up plenty 😬

[@TheAnimeist]

This was much needed, and very practical. Thank you.

[@FrankPersico]

Very glad to hear .. thank u
