New! - My Daily Guitar Warm Ups - bit.ly/guitarwarmups
Ok I'm back with a few more tips on looping for you all. Today we're looping songs with 2 or more sections, or songs that have a verse structure, then different chords for the chorus, and then again more changes for the bridge.... Argh!
Well... there's a few ways to tackle these!
They're also often called 'b' sections or 'c' sections with the 'a' section being the main part of the song.
and YES - some of these looping tips are super obvious and you will already do them, buuut perhaps there are some examples and ideas that you might not have thought of that are useful to you also!
Here is the link to the Paul Davids video that I mention - '7 FUN guitar LOOPING songs': • 7 FUN guitar LOOPING s...
I recommend going to check out his channel (if you haven't already). He's a great player and has some super nice videos also.
What I use to stop vocal feedback (in my loops): amzn.to/2JuRIMY
Looper: I am using a TC Helicon Voicelive 3 - the link below is to the 'extreme' version as the Voicelive 3 is no longer available. You'll be able to search online for the difference between the two should you wish to but hopefully that gives you a starting point to see what it is.

Hey David I do "Crazy" as well I have a suggestion that some might find useful: When Playing a song where the chord changes from minor to major (or vice versa) you can loop the chord WITHOUT the third of the chord. Then you can play either major or minor on the fly.

So not only did you help me nail the timing aspect of looping in your "6 Tips" video, but this was the other topic I was concerned about being new to looping! Great job with this David. I have been playing music (muti-instrumentalist) for almost 30 years now both live and studio. The Studio "One-Man-Band" deal is always something I have done for demos and album work. Looping was always the "Dream Solo Act" that I have bwanted to do for20 years now. So I finally bought all of the gear and highly underestimated how much thought and practice needs to go into an act like this! Your videos have been extremely helpful in filling in those knowledge/experience gaps. Looping is a completely different beast of an art form that is such a cool act when done correctly. It's artists like you who make it look effortless and I hope to get there soon. Maybe even be able to give back to the KZread community as you have fotoll the guys/gals that need it like I did. Cheers, David! -T
David, your tutorials are well thought out and are very helpful. You also have charm and a sense of humour which, sadly, many others are sadly missing. Oh yes, you're loaded with musicality, well done and thanks

You have a great voice. Very expressive! 👍 On the looping, my Valeton GP200 looper has undo/redo footswitch, so I can record 4 bars then put something over it (like 4 bars of chorus stuff), then use the undo/redo button to switch between the looper playing chorus or verse. Obviously the original underlying 4 bars will be the same on chorus/verse but it can still give a good result!
Great looping tips...well done David! I wish more looping artists would use these techniques. Perhaps their songs would be less likely to become monotonous or drone on for so long. Thanks for posting!

I ordered the vl3x to replace my old vocal harmony pedal. Suddenly I've been sucked into this world of looping and for some strange reason I feel compelled to loop the hell out of everything. Seriously though, great vid for people like me who thought a looper just went round and round until your head fell off. After about an hour on youtube this morning I came up with a list of very do-able covers I think I could pull off.I just added 'crazy' to the list thanks. Maybe I'll come back when I have compiled a setlist. "give it away, give it away now" is going round in my head right now... I have to go now, my acoustic is calling.

Hi David, thanks for the in depth thougths. Another option can also be to jump between memory locations while a loop is playing. If the looper continues to play without missing a beat, it will allow one to perfrom a song with more parts or variations. This feature is quite common in electronic synths and sequencers. Once can copy parts from one memory location to another - either while performaing or may be in advance - and then build different layers in different memory locations and swith between them while performing using on board or external foot switches.

Interesting and helpful video. Thank you. I’d be interested in knowing what looper you use and seeing video of your feet g hitting the pedal when you change from track to track. I just have a Boss RC-3 looper and, so far, I only use it for songs with the same chord pattern throughout, e.g. Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door, All Along The Watctower etc. Too nervous I’d stuff it up with choruses and bridges! 😂

heya! In this video I was using the voicelive 3 - sorry no foot cam but brought that in for later videos!
David: Thank you, very much for these informative and entertaining videos. If you have time, will you do a specific video on how to properly map the loop tracks to buttons on the Switch 6? I have a half-hour acoustic gig next month and I am learning my (new to me) VoiceLive 3 Extreme. I would really like to be able to set dedicated buttons on the Switch 6 (or the Extreme if you recommend it), so I can easily switch the tracks on and off while playing and singing. I'm just not sure if it would be better to use the loop button on the Extreme and use the Switch 6 for switching on bass guitar and other things I should map to it. I would appreciate any guidance you can give, since you obviously know how to use the VoiceLive 3 in a live setting. Thank you. Looking forward to more videos. I have been playing acoustic and electric since 1974 but your playing challenges and inspires me to keep striving for more. I am more in love with music now at 60 than I was at 24!!!
