How To Use a Loop Pedal On Guitar (easy!)

[@prcc]

The hardest thing to understand here is how you don't have a million subscribers. You will! Keep up the great work.

[@haleypowersmusic]

Ahh that's really nice to say- thank you so much!

[@brianmckenzie1318]

Thank you for emphasizing the timing of the button press!!! It is a frustrating learning curve.

[@haleypowersmusic]

Oh it's SO frusterating! Definitely agree!

[@therealgeorgeweerakoon]

I've been watching more of you're content and one thing that struck out to me is you've got a gift of teaching in addition to being a great musician 🎸. This video was super helpful!

[@haleypowersmusic]

Wow that’s so nice to say- thank you so much for the encouragement and really appreciate it!

[@YTisverycool2007]

Thank you for your video. I am just starting out and your video is exactly what I needed. Thank YOU!

[@swing8th]

Nice demo! You've got skills. You're also easy on the eyes. Thanks for the demo

[@michaelzinna6536]

I just got this Ditto device. This was a very cool demonstration. You’re very talented! 72 year old jazz and blues player here

[@haleypowersmusic]

Oh that’s so awesome! Thanks so much for watching and hope you’ve been having fun with the Ditto so far!

[@RUSTY-A-L]

Awesome Haley that was really good advice I will use it with my loop pedal!

[@haleypowersmusic]

Thank you so much and yes ! hope it helps!

[@ytanddave]

Great lesson well done! You are hitting every detail I struggled with also. When you said “right on the one” my brain immediately thought “yeah 😂 ESPECIALLY when it’s NOT the one”. …like when it flows better with the song to start the loop on a pickup note or on the TWO…. still ONE to the players stomping foot. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Great tone!

Greetings from Hungary! I found your other looper video when I was looking up a few videos on the Ditto. Nice job explaining the various things to look out for... I second most of them. I've so far only ever played with one looper (the Digitech Jamman) and that one doesn't have quantizing functions. It definitely takes a bit of practice to get used to hitting the "1" correctly each time. Your demo here is excellent, nice playing! That's a beautiful finish on your guitar too.

[@haleypowersmusic]

Thank you so much! And ha I'm a pilates instructor too!

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

@@haleypowersmusic 😊So nice & Happy to see your reply ❤️. have a good day ! 😊

[@jogmas12]

Just the information I need. Thank so much 😊! I think it better than a metronome, my opinion.

[@haleypowersmusic]

Thank you so much for watching and glad it was helpful! I totally agree!

[@SBahamondes]

The ditto is such a nifty lil' thing!

[@haleypowersmusic]

It really is!!

[@Vern859]

Great Job Thanks For The Video

[@haleypowersmusic]

Thank you! Really appreciate it!!

[@Leo-Bassment]

Nice ! 👍🏼

[@paulr.4968]

I like to play the guitar.

[@jeremy64382]

Great tutorial! And I like the style. Are you following a certain pentatonic or scale for the solo? New to soloing so wondering how you ended up there.

[@victorsokol7419]

Благодарю! Ваш урок подходит не только для гитары, но и для моих губных гармошек! 😊

[@AaronLyons]

[@bertromkes_]

love your video!

[@haleypowersmusic]

Thank you so much!!

[@groovybasslines]

cool !

[@m0nk3yl0v3r]

Cool tutorial! Have you tried Ed new loopers..?

[@haleypowersmusic]

Thank you! NO but really want to- I keep seeing ads for them! Have you??

[@escolavadia6863]

IS there anyway you can control the volume knob externally? i would like to record some percussive sounds and would like to control its dynamics throughout the song while i keep playing the guitar. Can it be done? Thank you very much for your help.

[@haleypowersmusic]

Yes there is a volume knob that you can control how loud each loop is but I think on this one it would be sort of a pain to bend over and change that every time you did a new loop. For that type of thing, I might look at one from Boss or check out the new one from Ed Sheeran that has more control options!

[@jeremykemp3782]

Is it easier to do with a separate stop button like on the TC Electronic Ditto X2 Looper ?

[@haleypowersmusic]

I think it would be! I don’t have that one (yet!) but I think that would definitely be easier!

[@achoice2bmade]

Great vid. New sub.

[@haleypowersmusic]

Oh thank you! Welcome!

[@danielbellissimoartes]

Shhooowwwww!!!!!!!

[@letaviaedits]

hello! i have a similar vox combo, although it is the pathfinder 10, which only has one input. can i buy a pedal that has 2 inputs (guitar and microphone) and somehow still connect the pedal's output into the pathfinder 10?

[@haleypowersmusic]

Hi! Oh good question- you know I think you probably could but it might just take some researching to get the right thing. I had a similar issue recently and ended up coming with a work around using a Y cable and an adapter and such to make it all work but it did the job. I bet you could figure something out!

[@letaviaedits]

@@haleypowersmusic thank you! actually Chatgpt mentioned the y cable too, so I might as well believe it now that you said it 😁

[@GShockWatchFan.]

Surprising what you can do with a simple Ditto pedal

[@haleypowersmusic]

It really is!

[@tbone2451]

What color is the light, when you click to record?

[@markowalski1]

Red is record, green is playback. Flashing green is stopped

[@teoortega4061]

I like wonky and off to create odd time signatures

[@kyleboike1611]

I really enjoyed the generic riffs 🙃

[@haleypowersmusic]

Oh thank you!!!! 😀

[@gibfen1235]

This VID was more "how to add parts to a loop" THAN "How to use". Good presentation though.
