[@will-lloyd]

Thank you, that first tip is a game changer!

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Fantastic! Really pleased to hear that

[@P0RTUGEEZA]

Thanks Marc, I like your teaching style, you were spot on with the common mistakes starting out with a looper, that's how I came to find your channel, much better now :)

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Thanks very much - Glad it was helpful!

[@graemero5532]

Great video Marc. These tips will save looper newbies a lot of time and cursing.

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Hi Graeme - I hope so!

[@jamieb7799]

Just bought my first looper today and you’ve given me some great & simple ways to get started. Thank you👍

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

That's great to hear

[@thomasfarley7322]

Very good experience for me. Very well done.

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Many thanks!

[@rustysguitar1]

Great demo! Learned a lot. Thanks

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Cheers Rusty! Much appreciated

[@johnw4659]

Thank you for this, Marc. I was thinking of treating myself to a looper pedal for Christmas for just this purpose so your video came at a perfect time for me. Cheers!

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Excellent! I'm glad it's helpful. There's loads of great loopers on the market now. They take a little getting used to, but once you get it, they are great practice tools.

[@jimjamarch]

More great stuff. Thanks Marc.

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

My pleasure! Glad you like it

[@sbwilliamson2]

I’ve watched several looper pedal videos but found several new, useful ways to use it. Thanks Marc. Now if you can find a cure for lack of coordination.

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Thanks for the comment

[@MiguelJimenez-ow5bx]

Always good lessons, thanks Marc

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Thanks, Miguel - comment is much appreciated

[@MustafaBaabad]

There is also looper pedal with different switch for on and off. It will be good to record multiple rhythm. Acoustic guitar can be used as drum and snare drum and on top of it can record guitar rhythm. Anyway thank you for thr lesson, especially the last message about keeping the looper pedal at the last link so that the effect / distirtion will not effect the recording. Cheers from Indonesia.

Nice Liver bird on the blackstar 👍

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Thanks 👍

[@daveallsopp4394]

Excellent Marc, cheers mate. I’ve got a bunch of pedals in a boss case and need to set them all up properly. Going to start by practicing with the looper pedal 👍🏻🇬🇧🎸

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Excellent!

[@davebell3369]

Thanks. Have you been watching me, because I think I've made ALL those mistakes in the past. I found making loops was very useful to practise/improve my timing. Also have a Line 6 Spider Jam (like that behind you?}, which I find good for practise over the loops/drum beats. Although I'm only a beginner, I don't really understand the dislike some people seem to have for them. Surely if something is useful. it doesn't matter what name is on the label.

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Hi Dave - I think we've all made those mistakes. Yes, it's a Spider Jam. It was my first introduction to looping. It's a fantastic tool. Originally I was going to include it in this video, however technical issues made it a little difficult getting the audio and video, so I just focused on the pedals instead. I love the looper in it, I just wish we could add more drum patterns because most of these weren't really my style. It's great that it's so easy to add bass, acoustic guitar etc to make up a really rich loop

[@walterredaelli7507]

Thanks Marc. You should have recorded this lesson a year ago 🙂 I have made all the errors you are reporting 😬 I have a boss rc2. A bit confusing to use but the drum machine that is embedded is really useful for practicing. I use an octaver to overdub a bass track using lower octave. Excellent video as usual, thanks

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Thanks Walter. Using an octave to add bass is a great addition

[@morgannilsson8062]

Thanks Marc, and very well explained. Sure, I have made all those errors and almost gave up on it :-) but I think I finally got it right. Thanks again 👍😊

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Thanks Morgan! Much appreciated

[@Chip_57]

Marc, this was a great lesson and very useful. I live close to you and would love to see the band sometime. Thanks!

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Maybe one day!

@Jedidiah Pablo Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it!!

[@jedidiahpablo4311]

@Orlando Idris No problem xD

[@ubertwerpify]

much appreciated lesson - but holy treble batman !

[@philbaugh6076]

Thanks Marc, I’ve had a looper for ages, but got scared to use it! I could never get the loop to sound right, ;)

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Glad I could help! They are tricky beasts, they do take a little getting used to. I also had issues when I first got one. Now I couldn't live without it. So handy for helping practice

[@johnmcdermott6333]

Hi Marc, I have a comment and a question for you. As an aged technophobe who is mesmerised by my 11 year old grandson, this lesson is beyond words in its usefulness to me. As an exiled Scouser, I noticed that you have added a Liverbird to the front of your Blackstar amp. Can I ask you where you got it please? (the Liverbird I mean :-)

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Hi John - it was a prezzie from my wife last Christmas she bought it from a market stall, but she's sure it's this: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/X3-Lasercut-Wooden-Liverbird-Shapes-Crafts/303706652306?ul_ref=https%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F1%2F710-53481-19255-0%2F1%3Fcampid%3D5338365712&customid=EB9222796&toolid=20006&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2F303706652306&srcrot=710-53481-19255-0&rvr_id=2710281980144&rvr_ts=1fb3e18b1760a9b12452aeddfc1b0b1b&_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1&ul_noapp=true&pageci=baea782c-bc76-433a-9015-72554548f5b2&fbclid=IwAR3W219zFEVRBPvIr1wWwq1K0axU8X7GgplE1eMEr_truVrnxdwjbSQriBk

[@johnny6148]

nice instruction but i can tap the button all day and can't get it to delete or record.

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Check the manual and check that it's not faulty

[@garyfohs4212]

Yeah !

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

I appreciate your enthusiasm!

[@garyfohs4212]

@@MarcGuitarVideos ya man. Thank YOU .

[@tbone2451]

Sold my Boss , way too confusing Ditto is the way to go.

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

I still haven't figured out all the features, in fact in putting this video together, I looked at the list of features on the BOSS website and I didn't even realise it did some things! I like having the drums as an option, but the Ditto is my fav
