[@chadb1176]

This is exactly the tutorial I need. My heart aches to create something as beautiful. Thank you, Perry

[@PerryFrank]

Thanks so much, hope it helps

[@BrandonMalone-x1b]

Y ou can do anything you want man...just play. That's all you gotta do

You are the most talented am writer in the world!!!!!

[@PerryFrank]

🙏🙏🙏❤

[@jimo1294]

You totally blew my mind with this! I've been listening to music like this and didn't know how it was created. THANK YOU! (looks like I'll only need 40-50 pedals!)

[@PerryFrank]

Thanks a lot 🙏 you don't need all these pedals, you can do it with many few effects watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX2zm2erbrefqdE

[@BrandonMalone-x1b]

Buy an HX stomp. Best pedal ever

[@Bobson_Dugnutt16]

It never occurred to me to place loopers at different stages within the chain, and it makes 100% perfect sense. Thanks for sharing

[@JoeFlattMusic]

Very cool! 🎸

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@aldyrinaldy6876]

beside an educational purpose, this video also very entertaining to watch.

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much 🙏🙏

[@hexlis]

Sunday morning, coffee, and ambient... Thanks. Just what i needed.

[@PerryFrank]

🙏🙏☕

[@roynations4067]

Very cool! I used to do stuff like this back in the 80s with delay pedals and reverb but this is upper level! Very nice! Keep up the amazing work my brother! God bless

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much indeed 🙏🙏

[@adrian1072]

Great tutorial from the Wizard of ambient. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and inspiration.

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much for your words 🙏

[@philippelints3572]

Thanks a lot. I learned more with your tutorial than in 2 years of experimenting. I play the flute with FX.

[@PerryFrank]

Thanks 🙏 it's good to read your words. Glad to be useful sometimes

[@erinautumns238]

Far to useful, I think we all appreciate you for breaking down the creation of ambient music. I get hardcore state fault vibes from this

[@projyeet]

This is the exact type of music I want to make. Sounds exactly like my favorite band Natural Snow Buildings, I seriously cannot thank you enough for this tutorial

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much, glad to be useful someway 🙏

[@arjunlama3446]

unreal...this is really great man. Hope u can do more videos like this, it s a must, Really thank you Perry

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much indeed 🙏

[@gleslie44]

This majestically sounds like the synth intro to Where the Streets Have No Name by U2! Great job Perry!

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@dillonsamaroo2057]

Really nice teaching here. Much appreciated. Keep it up! 💯

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@chiliburger17]

Nicely done.

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@anthonyfox1436]

Really good explanations and some great pedals there . Love what you're doing

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@brettwartchow]

Thanks for making beautiful things. Gratitude.

[@PerryFrank]

🙏🙏🙏

[@leftpastsaturn67]

As someone else already said, that was educational and entertaining. Great ideas, beautifully demonstrated.

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much indeed 🙏🙏

[@philgraves4998]

Sounds amazing I loved it! If not using a volume pedal you should mention if you haven't that you need a guitar with a good quality volume pot. Some guitars have cheaper pots that go from off to full on at around only 2-3 then don't get much louder after that.

[@PerryFrank]

Yes that's clear! You need a good volume knob, and it has to be near your hand, like strato, jaguar and jazzmaster

[@eearts]

That was simply perfect! Namaste!

[@PerryFrank]

🙏🙏🙏

[@mattw.6726]

This is an amazing demo/tutorial for how to do stuff like this. Thank you!

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@elicas0319]

Beautiful! Thank you

[@PerryFrank]

🙏🙏🙏

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Thank you. Made some re arrangements on my board that now make more sense. 🙏

[@PerryFrank]

Glad to be useful someway 🙏

[@chiliburger17]

Thank you for an insightful video. I do like the multiple looper approach. I use the Boss RC 30 and the TCE Ditto.

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much 🙏 I like both, very good sound quality

[@jamiecollings2540]

This is a very helpful video. The piece of music is beautiful too.

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@Igor-ft3oq]

Awesome!! Please, do a tutorial just with affordable pedals like Caline, Mooer, Joyo, Saphue, Demonfx and others. It will be great!!

[@PerryFrank]

Thanks, will do soon

[@craigpheasey8943]

Amazing tutorial thank you. I am getting True Loss by Holy Fawn vibes by the end. ❤

Gracias Perry por el tutorial genial.

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@matttorrence2900]

This is a great channel

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@RobertPletscher]

Thank you very much for this great content. I assume the loopers are not synchronized?

[@PerryFrank]

Totally free, I never synchronize the loops, I like to imagine them in a sort of dance together always different

[@Chris_wami]

If you add reverb at the end of the chain are you reverbing the reverb? Does that make it verb? 🤯😄 Another brilliant video thank you friend

[@PerryFrank]

More Reverb is the key of everything 🔥

[@artemdemidov2874]

Sounds GREAT! Thank you)

[@PerryFrank]

Thanks 🙏

[@keofir]

ricordo che facevi i corsi in Sardegna prima del covid. comunque ottimo tutorial anche dell'uso dei pedali.

[@PerryFrank]

In Sardegna riesco a fare ben poco. Non ho contatti, e qui suona solamente chi ha amici tra i vari promoters dei festival.

[@alyasmusicswe]

I love it! 😍

[@PerryFrank]

🙏🙏

[@alyasmusicswe]

Is The big sky more suitable for this kind of drone making or does The nightsky work just as good 😁

[@PerryFrank]

@@alyasmusicswe Nightsky is good too

[@danielel9191]

Merci! 😇😇😇! I love the loopers in the chain. I don't have all those very nice pedals but I do have the big Sky, El Capistan, and line 6 DL4 MK2, and the Neunaber Immersion... I would really like to better understand where the loopers can go and how many is needed? As always magnifique music! I used to have the ditto 4 but it is too complcated and too big for what I can do. I am thinking of buying a couple of little ones like the LEKATO Looper Pedal, Looper Pedals with SYNC & Tuner Function as they are very affordable, small, simple and have very good reviews.

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@Patrick-857]

Wherever you want to put them.

[@LeeHoMusic]

Thank you!!!

[@vasiliygf]

You explain the easiest way. "Ambient for dummies"! :) Thank you! One thing i dont understand: how you record sound from Walrus ACS1? Do you use some card like Focusrite? Or recorder like Zoom? Is it able to record sound from Walrus, using Zoom h4 recorder (line/guitar inputs)?

[@PerryFrank]

Thank you very much 🙏 I connect the pedalboard direct into the audio interface, I'm using the Focursite Scarlett. About the Zoom h4, yes you could connect it directly to that recorder but you will need a speaker or headphones to hear what you're doing

[@vasiliygf]

@@PerryFrank Yes, Zoom has an interface for headphones. I`ll try. Thanks again!

[@MegaSkycap]

Hi Perry -- very cool video that I come back to from time to time. However, how are you using the Timeline here? I don't see you record a loop with it... I might have missed something. If you could help, that would clear up my confusion and I can get on with life :o)

[@MegaSkycap]

Nevermind -- I found it. It's the Ice Delay and you can increase the mix to increase how loud the Ditto+ loop is... That's very cool!

[@thebiblegroup7454]

* Perry, is this video the prelude to your master class in ambient guitar composition?

[@PerryFrank]

I will hold a masterclass in ambient in May here in Sardinia.

[@calebcadainoo]

Am I the only one who almost fell asleep from the drones after first 6 minutes? 😅 This song will lol you to sleep 😴💤

[@PerryFrank]

Yes you're probably the only one

[@calebcadainoo]

@@PerryFrank a very powerful piece for relaxing 👌👏👏

[@JamAndStrawberry]

3:40

[@tzoltekaudio]

[@vasiliygf]

Perry, why don’t you place loopers one by one at the end of the chain before BigSky? It seems to be the same… Why you place them at different places?

[@PerryFrank]

If I do like you say I can't process the loops once they're recorded, they remain the same until the end of the song. Using this order you can change their sounds, I find it more interesting and creative, but man, it's only my taste. Cheers

[@vasiliygf]

@@PerryFrank thank you! I understand! you operate pedals between loopers..

[@mg9009]

So were you ever recording any of that during the video? On the computer?

[@PerryFrank]

Music on the pc, voice with Zoom H2n

[@chriscreswell5594]

Is it necessary to have 3 loopers? If you only have 1 looper like the Ditto x4 is this still possible? Would you still put it last in your chain.

[@PerryFrank]

No man, it's not necessary, I've explained my way of creating music. If you want you can use just one or two. If your sound is better with the dittox4 as last pedal I can tell you that it's okay to put it last in the chain. I have the ditto x4, and sometimes I still use it but it's too big and I prefer smaller pedals.

[@artemdemidov2874]

@@PerryFrank But it's also a good idea to have a reverb/delay pedal after the looper to make seamless loops

[@PerryFrank]

@@artemdemidov2874 thank you 🙏 as you can see in the clip I always put a reverb after the last looper, it gives ambience to the whole song

[@anthonyfesta7010]

What’s the minimum watts needed for ambient Modulation effects.

[@vasiliygf]

Usually, analog = 100w, digital = 200-400w

[@Jeremiah.k]

So your saying you need all that equipment?? Daam how much will that all cost?

[@PerryFrank]

No one said that, you can make ambient music with just one pedal too. Watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joDGd2idrbilpbc

[@Jeremiah.k]

@@PerryFrank oh okay Thankyou for that

[@drbumgarden]

@@PerryFrank I have a cheap Yamaha PSS 270 and a ditto 2 pedal …. Very inexpensive and I can make loops all day long.😊 (love your soundscapes)

[@ijahtom]

"&2day Im going to Show you how to make a simple ambiant guitar sound!" ... ..sitting infront 1000. of Pedals. Lol

[@PerryFrank]

Pedals are just means, only ideas matter.

[@UnitedEffect]

Before I watch the rest of this video... I feel the need to tell you the numbers of the strings. From the lowest (thickest) to the highest (thinnest) they are numbered 6 to 1. In standard tuning this would be E=6, A=5, D=4, G=3, B=2, E=1. I believe you've numbered them in reverse order. Check any guitar guide/book/lesson. I've been a music educator for 45+ years and wouldn't want you to confuse any beginners who may watch this. Now... I'm going to watch the rest of your video. Nice gear BTW

[@PerryFrank]

Cool, what I needed today is another person like you. You usually comment my videos this way, always looking for mistakes or oversights, or simply silly thoughts about them. What can I say? Just keep on teaching on your school or wherever you do it. Please don't do it under my videos, nevermore. I don't need it and I don't want to block your channel.

[@UnitedEffect]

@@PerryFrank This was meant to be a friendly reminder. Just trying to help you out a little. This is the first video of yours I've ever watched, and I've never commented on any of your videos before. Chill out man, we're all in this together.... we're all connected. I genuinely was trying to be helpful. Don't let your ego get in the way of learning something correctly. We can all learn from and help each other. Jeez... I had just subscribed to try and help out a young musician. I've reversed that. Peace.

[@PerryFrank]

@@UnitedEffectI've watched again the video, because it's old, I've made a lot of videos and I don't remember what was about. I don't talk about the number of strings, just mention the notes. So, where did you hear that?

[@UnitedEffect]

@@PerryFrank Stop playing games.

[@PerryFrank]

@@UnitedEffect I play ambient music not games. Maybe you must stop playing games.

[@AutisticCuriosity]

So I just need. $3000 worth of pedals! NO!

[@PerryFrank]

Oh no, another one bites the dust

[@AutisticCuriosity]

@@PerryFrankyep because I don’t have that kind of money just like the rest of the people watching this. .. but beautiful sound beautiful performances really inspiring thank you.

[@PerryFrank]

@@AutisticCuriosity I don't think so. First, they're all second hand used pedals, so they cost half than the new. Second I've set this pedalboard in more than 8 years, not all at once. Everyone can do it if you love creating music. So, please don't come here to tell me that I'm rich because I'm not. Is it clear?
