@gi_gi Honestly, that’s such a kind thing to say. Not a lot of musical support from friends and family outside of “Can you not play that somewhere else hahahaha” so it’s nice to have positive feedback.
If Andrew wants to create some loop content I would loooooove a version of this:
That is really impressive. How old is your son.. The chorus is really challenging in that version so even to attempt it let alone pull it off is just wow 😍
@leb397 thank you, that was a lovely thing to say 🙂
@tbb Thank you loop buddy 😍 I have not seen firefly’s.. but it’s definitely like being immersed in a sci-if movie 👽🛸👾
Going to try and find the time to make a Careless Whisper loop. Looking forward to your new instalments 😎
I can’t advise you on Baritones as I don’t have one. But I do have a Kala KA Soprano & Tenor and they are both great instruments at that price entry point so I’m sure the above recommendation is spot on 🙂
@tbb Had an hour this morning and took my new reverb pedal for a test drive. For some reason my phone didn’t like the base notes so there are some sound issues but lots of foot action on the loop pedal 😂
@tbb Making the first loop is the hardest part (I think) as often there is that pause or some type of inconsistency.. Easiest fix is not to upload those videos haha.. On a serious note to fix it 🙂 Say the chord progression is C G Am F 4/4 if you are doing down strums it would look like this:
C C C C G G G G Am Am Am Am F F F F
So to add in the looper and make the loop seamless yoouuu… At the same time you do the first down strum on the C (the first C) you press the looper with your foot at exactly the same time. As if the strum and the foot press were the same thing. Then you strum all of the above C C C C G G G G bla bla
BUT (and this is the important part) after you’ve played the last F… Press the looper to stop the loop BUT also play the first C at the same time as you are pressing the loop pedal. You don’t want to hear the first C as an extra note in the chord progression as that would make it F F F F C (which would also sound odd) but playing the C as you stop the loop blends it all in without the pause.
It’s easier to demonstrate probably so if I’ve done a bad job of explaining let me know and I’ll make a video.
After the first loop you can literally press the looper at anytime as the timing of the loop has been set. So for the second loop what I used to do (which was really hard) was press the looper at the same time the the first loop was ending and then try to play the first note of the second loop which is to many things going on. Soooo what I do (and this may not be correct but it works) is press the looper before to record before the first loop ends and then play the first note of the second loop when the first loop starts… I can then end the loop whenever I want as well as the first loop has already set the timing of the loop.
Probably have not explained that well either so let me know.
Looking forward to more Loops 🙂
@gi_gi_ I was very excited to hear it. Was actually going out the door but wasn’t back to get my earphones.
It was awesome 😍
@tbb😍 Well, that was incredible and heart warming.
I actually laughed out loud with your looper antics. The learning curve is steep! You already have the two most important skills down… Timing & the ability to break down a song and build it back up in loop sections.
Don’t think I have competition 😜 Just gained a mentor 😂👏👏👏
I notice this when I’m playing scales/melodies. The C string is always more prevalent. I first thought it was how the pick up was installed but guessing it’s the same for everyone.
No advice also outside of that 🙂 I just go with it and use it how it is..
@lisadmh Are you recording that on a phone without any enhancements.. the balance of everything is great..
Loved it! Very nice to see RAW footage made even more awesome with the ocean in the background.
👏👏👏👏👏
@tbb At the moment I’m trying to learn Corey F’s arrangement of Canon in D.
I think it’s my favourite arrangement ever on the Uke. Definitely a slow burner in regards to learning progress.
My Uke time is minimal at the mo Probably pick it up again in the New Year.
Im looking forward to your loops 👀😍
