RUclips is playing your songs automatically. Everytime you begin playing I think "this is this music" And I'm always wrong! I don’t really like this music, but love your version

[@danielpineda2165]

You are the best 👏🏻 hello from mexico 👍🏻

[@lukejamesshaffer]

thank you! Hello!

[@jakevicious4335]

Awesome cover! When are you on tour?

[@lukejamesshaffer]

As soon as people want me to come play in their towns!

[@nabil2085]

Hey, can I just ask something? How do you get your loop to pick up your drum so well? also the clapping, my mic doesn't do that well it's kind of annoying. Maybe I need a better mic? Great cover by the way, I'm marathoning your covers right now and I got Havana on repeat. That smooth mashup is just godlike.

[@neuroaux7430]

You'll probably just need a preamp and increase the gain of your microphone.

[@Reaping_Fire]

Amsterdam!

[@lukejamesshaffer]

It was awesome!

[@neuroaux7430]

Is there a green screen to make the background white or is it just an painted room?

[@lukejamesshaffer]

It’s a curved white wall at the studio I work at. It’s just all white... no green screen

[@Beni.werner]

Amsterdam! Have fun:) Are you in Switzerland anytime?=)

[@lukejamesshaffer]

Thank you so much! Nothing going on in Switzerland right now but I would LOVE to visit/gig there some time!

[@raynlaze1339]

4:48 Ironic, you just sang you were made a believer. :P

[@JackALynn]

Wow sounds great!!!
The acoustic is not the best though, it bothers me that the loops kinda fighting between themselves about the volume and one covers the others so its making a little mess. Maybe it's just because I didn't use headphones, but I like this video very much!!

[@lukejamesshaffer]

Thanks Jack! Yea, sometimes I don't get the levels just right. It can be hard to get it perfectly when it's all coming through on one channel and I can't adjust anything after the fact. Thanks for watching though!

[@ojxsvi]

What loop pedal you’re using??

[@junaidansari9552]

[@lukejamesshaffer]

YESSSSS! No one ever reads the description! Thank you!
