6 TRICKS to record your guitar LOOPS IN TIME
6 tips and tricks to record your guitar loops in time when making loop tracks! Loop Pedal used in this video: http://amzn.to/2CvFfEa
I filmed this video as I kept getting asked at shows how I get my loops in time, and also how I build guitar loops with only a short amount of time rather than taking ages to build the tracks.
It’s 6 tips that (if you’ve been struggling with your loop timing) will help you get your timing bang on, and some extra parts of me ranting about different ideas (semi) associated with each tip or idea!

Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge and helping others improve. Question, are you trying to catch the first note on the strong beat at the beginning tap or the end tap?? Seems like you are trying to tap the looper just before the first beat and tap it just before the first note to end the loop? That right?
Great job!! I love your attention to detail
Practicic9ng with drum loops can be a bit more useful
If starting with a beat it’s important to record the number of bars required for the chord progression- or you get caught short!
David! How do you learn and be able to put bass lines over your chords?? Thanks
Just getting into looping and your video's are awesome. Thanks for sharing your knowledge David!
David!
I have been relentlessly searching YouTube for a decent tutorial on timing loops correctly since purchasing my Boss 505mkII! So happy I was able to find this video as you break it down nice and simply. I was always doing the "tense – starting from downstoke 1" style you mentioned. Needless to say I was getting frusterated as my loops were rarely all-in-time (especially with 3-5 loops min per song at times). Thank you for this refreshing and upbeat tutorial its made a world of difference! Subscribing for more ; )
What's the reason for the split cord coming from the guitar jack?
Love tip 6, you'll hate it you won't want to do it, but, you have to if you want good timing.
40 yrs playing and just got a looper. You have the best approach to teaching the art on YouTube.
Thank you
Thanks for the vids man, they have helped me a ton
hey! what guitar strap is that?
Thank You
Numero 4 is my weakness maybe I should stand and not use my bass pedals which restrict me to sitting
Great video. I got a looper about a year ago and the instructions that came with it were frustrating, and other videos never really addressed the timing of the start/stop. I had tried a couple of times, got frustrated and haven't used it since.
I am now re-inspired to try again. Thanks!
How could I have a clean loop and play with distortion without distorting the loop?
Hats off to your continued tutoring. I do in fact, ( and posted on another of your videos) have trouble with initial loop synchronisation. Beat so far just off so I guess i just need to keep plugging away. Thanks so much.
Also my volume seems too low on playback. Is there internal volume control? I did see your tip about decay already. ????
Thank mate, it is helping a lot. By feeling the music it improved my loop starts a lot
David, Excellent lesson — you move just fine. GREAT POINT — sway, shake, bounce — whatever — MOVE! It's called PLAYING music, not WORKING music.
I have learned way more from drummers than other guitar players about performance and groove! My favorite lesson of all time was when my drummer looked threw his kit and pointed his stick at me. "You Fing guitar players have 14 knobs on those amps and you only ever turn one and you ever only turn it one way…UP". I was guilty as charged!
MOVING to the groove is such a great concept. I now sit, because as I play with a cajon player and want to be on same level. I still dance in my seat. I appreciate your POSITIVITY through all your vids and you are rare in that you are succinct and do not meander….that is so rare and refreshing on the youtube. I have learned also from years of playing a couple of things. 1) It is called PLAYING music so please don't yourself so seriously. I use a line from the great guitar player Glenn Campbell…"i know what your thinking, is there no beginning to this boys talent?". 2) Start your night off with lower volume than you think. You can always turn up…..I have never met a guitar player that ever turned down….both volume and gigs….it is possible to do both….just rare. 3) SLOW DOWN….both in performance and in song. I listen to the songs I do which get's a little tedious but I always find a tid bit in there somewhere. Too many times I have said, Hey why are they doing this song so slow? I also listen to songs to know the words so I do not stare at Ipad. If you sing Tom Petty wrong, people will sing the right words and their is always that guy that is gonna come up at break and bust your balls about how you sang TOM's words wrong except for the live version he did in a basement in Germany in 1984 which he has still has on cassette and before you know it your break is over and you did not get to quaff a pint or leave a pint..cheers
ive just got a dittox4. its frustrating me a bit, the dreaded pause, but these tips are going to help, i need to relax more with it. thank you, your cute and smiley, hope all is well x
You have a natural stage presence so congrats on that. Your tips are useful indeed. I too practice standing and tapping my foot when grooving. It improves my playing a lot. Best regards
Thanks!
Very useful lesson! Thank you!
I get my first loop pedal this week and will be watching and using these vids to get me going for sure. Its a Boss RC30. Great video tutorials you make. Cheers.
We change to Ableton Live. No limits, an handfree (footfree) looping
It helped ????
I finally got it down first try after watching this video, this is great thanks!
