A loop pedal is a dream for me. I love Cici Powell's looped bass solo compositions (which i recommend checking out, ethereal playing) which i aspire to recreate one day. I can see how amazing they are for practice too.
I just bought this from Sweetwater this week. Haven't had a chance to use it, but will this weekend. I'd love to hear more on using this pedal in regular practice.
Thanks for yet another inspirational video! I picked up a Ditto about a year ago and it’s added a lot of fun to my practice routine. It’s also got me working more on my modes/scales all over the fretboard.
Awesome quick lesson on motivation. Watching you play and feeling the different notes really does put me on the I'm having fun and inspired track for playing bass. 😊
Had a couple of your vids pop up in my feed and I gotta say I think you definitely deserve to get more views and subs! I really appreciate the way you start out musical/theory concepts starting with the more intuitive way of understanding it then zoom out to the more textbook stuff to add additional context. This is the kind of lessons I was looking for on RUclips, just wanna say I appreciate your work and I look forward to watching more! Cheers bud!
That was awesome Dan! You inspired me again man! I just ordered via Amazon a Lekato looper with 9 loops & 40 min rec time & built in tuner too. Was cheaper than the Dito & coming tomorrow! Two days off work & so keen now! Can’t wait to learn how to use it. Would appreciate more awesome looping chords & what you play over them please! 🙏👌🎵🎸🎼
Hey Dan, I was looking for a pedal to spice up my practicing. This looks like a good one. Maybe do more videos like this with all kinds of pedals. I was thinking about a sustain or reverb pedal. It was nice to see you messing up a bit. You’re still learning like the rest of us. 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻😎
You should have an LED that flashes the beat that you establish. Just like tap control on other pedals. My Fender Rumble 40 Studio has a loop feature but I guess until I put a stopwatch up against it I'm never going to really know exactly when the 60 seconds is up. I suppose one could use a metronome to do the same thing
It’s something that definitely takes practice. If I wanted to get really good at this, I’d do it over and over again for hours over how ever long it takes to master it. I’ll probably just butcher it for now though. 😂
Just got a looper and it is tough! Very frustrating and wasn’t even sure what to get play but this helps Could you maybe do a video on how to get out of a creative rut? Like I’ve gone back to practice with backing tracks I haven’t used in awhile but almost always end up playing something similar. How do you get out of these patterns of playing the same things even if they do sound pretty good?
im really struggling to seeing the use case of this in practice. could you explain a bit how using this is different to using a metronome? im a beginner myself so im definitely not trying to say i know better lol
A metronome is a tool as is this. With a looper, I can explore melody, harmony, and rhythm, I can compose, I can make practice a lot more fun and musical sounding.
@@OnlineBassCourses Oh Okay! Thank You very much for the info! BTW I LOVE YOUR LESSONS!!!!! I have learned a whole LOT from them and you! Thanks Again!!!
Thanks for the demonstration...and your honesty about the raggedy ann part...I
Just bought a dito lopper...!
Another great lesson, Dan.

I've been fascinated with loop pedals lately and am researching and familiarizing myself with the market. A loop video would be way cool.
Thank you I just purchased that exact pedal ,

Totally agree, this is a very useful tool. It helped me a lot when I started improvising on bass.
More looper exercises would be great. Bought one awhile ago, but unfortunately haven't been very successful using it. Thanks
It takes a while to get into it. Keep going!
Thanks Dan!
Thanks Dan, we asked you for this video and you delivered!!
No problem!
Nice lesson. Looper pedals are awesome. I've made many loops based on lessons from your soul and courses. More like this please 🙏🏽
*soul and funk
Thanks, will do!

Good to hear, Mike! Thanks.
Good video. I appreciated the comments on modes, etc.
🙏
Sounds Great❤

That’s good to hear - it should be fun I think! 🙏
Loopers are definitely a bass players best friend ❤
Loop pedals for the win

That’s really kind of you to say - thanks very much! Hope you enjoy the lessons.

I have that looper. I wish the recording would start when the foot is lifted.

Great lesson. A very good short cut to making real music. I think my timing on the pedal may be the limiting factor however.
It’s something you can work on. Just do it over and over again and then practice some more! Consistency is key. You can do it!
Nice
Thank goodness someone else finds it tricky to hit the footswitch bang on time.

Thankyou Dan, nice Loop ideas!
What's your Ibanez bass model? Sounds great.
Thanks! 1982 Ibanez Roadster with DiMarzio DP126 pickups

That’s a good idea - I’ll look into it… 🙏
I actually had this pedal. very fun to mess around with. sadly sold it for $50 if I remember

Hi Dan! Did you play and E and an octave E together for the drone?
Hi Ferdinand! I think I played a low E, 7th fret A string E and then one an octave above that one.

@@marsblack5221 Very happy to hear that! 🙏
Freeze works better for one chord hold
Definitely. I’d like to explore that pedal for sure.
