I've just got a looper and I'm convinced every guitar player should own one now, because if nothing else it's an excellent way of demonstrating how bad a player you are. That's a good thing, because it forces you to be spot-on with your timing. I think I've become sloppy with timing - too focused on doing the flashy stuff rather than the basics. Really enjoying it.

0:00 Shape of You - Ed Sheeran 1:57 I'm Yours - Jason Mraz 3:45 Slow Dancing in a Burning Room - John Mayer 5:22 Billie Jean - Michael Jackson 6:28 Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve 7:55 Big Black Horse and a Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall 9:14 Magic - Coldplay

I absolutely freaking love it when you cover Mayer. One of your best videos yet. Thank you for the constant insight and motivation.

Paul, your ability and talent are nothing short of amazing.

Beard on point like always! Great video Paul

Every time I watch a video by Paul It makes me wanna pick my guitar and learn something new. Thanks man you've inspired me keep up the good work.

Great content again Paul! I will definitely loop some of these. The clean background when you're speaking makes it look very professional. Keep on going!

The one thing that's annoying about looping is the time it takes most people to get their loops sections going, they way you achieve it quickly every 4 bars is awesome and adds to the progression of the song. Well done

Man.. that loop of 'Slow Dancing..' came at the most perfect time in my life. Loving the song to bits and changing my entire guitar perspective from long roots in extreme metal to wanting to play the style he used in that song. PLUS getting really damned interested in looping.

just jaw dropping talent this guy is just a joy to watch

PLEASE DO A PART 2!!!!! THIS WAS AWESOME!!!

Amazing how he manages to fit right in every aspect of the guitar. I mean, how versatile and talented is this guy?

That was the best Magic cover I've ever seen, flawless😍

best channel ,the most relaxing, always brings smile to my face :)

You're such an inspiration mate! You've really motivated me to keep on growing musically... cheers!

I bought a loop pedal a few years ago and honestly I believe it's massively improved both my lead and rhythm playing. I love your videos Paul, keep up the amazing content! x

The coldplay one was absolutely nuts!

Miss the mother of all loop songs... Dosed, by RHCP

You're amazing, I could watch you create for hours, thank you

Magic loop is professional! great stuff you have here Paul.

deserately need to sleep, but am just binge watching these videos. GREAT WORK!

Paul - I have just started quite possibly the hardest part of my life: Starting my first teaching job in a High School as a Maths Teacher. This month (September), I have barely picked up my guitar or had time to watch any of your videos, until finally today. Hearing you play I'm Yours brought a tear to my eyes because of how much I've missed music since starting this new job and you made me feel so reconnected to my music. I was feeling those Fleetwood Mac vibes with those amazing harmonies that you used for that song ~ Thank you.

Man love your videos! You're definitely one of the best musician and producer out there. Don't stop and keep jammin'

I love every single factor in this video, you make looping so easy. Great stuff Paul

you did the best "i'm yours" cover ever... with ONE guitar awesome B)

Double chorus of Dani California would have been cool too. First time around it's just lower power chords, second time a few harmony lines are added and it opens up really nicely. The entire song has bends and harmonies on top of each other but the double chorus sticks out especially imo

You're such a great player and amazing teacher! Thanks for the great videos!

Everytime you upload a video, I find myself adding it to my favorites! Amazing content my man! appreciate you sharing your knowledge :)

Maybe you should start adding more bloopers to show you're human like everyone :)

I need to get my tempo right. As you said for some songs the little delay is very noticable. Either way I'm glad you played songs I know and love. Nice Video

This is what music is all about, your skill motivates me to keep practicing

man, I would listen to your rendition of Magic for like an hour straight. So good.

For me, at least, this was less a "how to" video and more of a "how awesome" video... it might take more time than I've got left on this earth to be able to do any of this. But I'm hugely impressed/envious of your ability to do it!

that's the best bittersweet symphony loop cover I've seen.

Without a doubt my favorite new channel. Thank you so much for such great videos!

Not often do I hit that bell after I subscribe, but this was such a smooth and awesome tutorial. Bravo! Thanks for the content! I would love a newer version with an updated list of songs you have worked out!

Fantastic video! Keep it up!

So cool! I remember a while ago I saw one of Ed Sheeran's studio sessions and it's definitely a great skill to have.

this was fantastic, you are my inspiration for guitar playing!:) that bitter sweet symphony loop was gorgeous

Man, your guitar technique is excellent. Very clean playing. Nice work...Thank you for posting!

Just bought a boss rc-1 and I thank you for this video! I feel the hours will go by like minutes lol

Going to Patreon right now, what a great platform!

Every video you upload I start thinking more why I didn't pursue guitarplaying further in my youth. Inspiring stuff. Dankje :)

Thank you so much!! I play guitar since 5 years,but sometimes it's very difficult for me,because I learnt it by myself, so there are a lot of things to improve in You always helping me out,when I'm in trouble with songs and your ,,Tip of the week" videos are amazing! Keep up this awesome work and thanks again :)

This Video was Fire! you know what? I m gonna learn the song magic right now, althought it is 1 am here in germany😂

best looper for price is the ditto x4 . ( my opinion) best about it is the ability to loop once and stop

Everytime I want to learn something new on guitar you already have a video! STOP BEING SO AWESOME! .. Kidding. Love you. Don't leave.

The moment you pull off a successful loop the joy on ur face is unmistakable !!! I can see it here !!

everytime i watch you, i feel the immediate urge to practice ;)

that guitar is beautiful

Really AWESOME lesson/ideas/performance! Thanks for the inspiration Paul!!!

You're just too good Paul. You always make it look easy. And what you are doing is art.

You can use the sound hole on an acoustic to loop other instruments. Shakers, tambourines, chimes, even vocals.

Hey Paul!! Do you listen to Explosions In The Sky or Mogwai? They have some really cool songs that I have tried looping. You should try them yourself, maybe including them in a second part for this video (if you decide to make one of course)

I've been playing guitar for 30 years and just got my first looper. I have also been playing drums for over 50 years so the looper was no problem. Had it mastered in about 2 hours. Absolutely love it should have bought one years ago.

Excellent video on looping! Thanks for sharing your tips and suggestions, and inspiring all us aspiring loopers with your great performances!

Awesome video man! What do you use for the shimmer in the coldplay loop? Cheers

Great vid, great beard.

Thank you Paul :) Love rocking out with you!

I just bought a looper pedal last week. Thankyou this video has opened my eyes up to all the possibilities

Big Black Horse And The Cherry Tree is the best loop pedal song EVER

I don't watch your video to learn..i watch it because they are awesome

Quality content as usual. Always a pleasure to see these videos!

LOVED IT, nice work Paul!!!

Nothing like saying "kak" :) My favourite word in a related language, Afrikaans.

Ok. That's it. I'm buying a loop pedal. 🤓

I love this dude! Phenomenal playing!

I'm a drummer and a long time subscriber, and every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to learn guitar!!

I almost like this intro version of Shape Of You more than Ed's own actual live version 👀😂

Where is when I come around by Green Day?! The perfect example!!

Man your a true musician, you got the timings right and everything.. Awsome video!

Awesome videos Paul! Proving very helpful for me in my learning of this awesome instrument! Thank you!

If your acoustic has a microphone pickup inside you can loop vocals by shouting inside you guitar :o]

I just use them to write music. All that wizardy that you do escapes my domains

Magnificent! Love your videos Paul

Great quality videos, good advices and ideas. As allways nice stuff! Keep doing it please!

For the new loopers out there, a huge part of looping is knowing when too much is. Don't overdo it

Hi Paul can you please elaborate a little bit about the mixer connection and the microphone for the vox. I have the same problem. (No xlr on my looper) You said you plugin both mic and guitar to the mixer, pan them both to the left and connect them to the amp. Where is your looper in the chain? Thanks.

Paul your videos continue to be awesome and inspiring. I'm definitely going to get myself set up to try some of these looper examples and some of my own! Thanks

Paul Davids you're one of the all time greats and Magic was stunning

Hey Paul, that's an amazing video. I am living in South Africa and have been playing as a solo guitar act for twenty years using backing tracks and six months ago I purchased my first loop station and am totally hooked. I can't say I am a producer or engineer but I'm learning daily. I am looking into buying a Helix and adding a Maton guitar and Strat to my line up. I have also been testing out push2 and have decided as it's so expensive here that I would go for the Novation launchpad pro and use it with ableton, I'm trying to combine the two loopers. I was just not sure that I could do the same as with push or launchpad as I can with my RC 300. Would you offer some advise here. I perform 5 times a week in a five star hotel. As I say this is all new to me so I need to try and get it all working in my favor. Many Thanks for the great video.

"They just don't make the video's" KAK (💩) Nice one 😂

Always inspired whenever watch your videos... 🤟🏻

Super useful and inspiring - I got some really helpful ideas to try. You have a really pleasing way of talking to the camera! I especially like the closing seconds of 'I get it wrong too'! Too often we don't see the hours of practice that is required to get these videos right, but it reminds me that practice makes perfect!

Paul, there's a guy in the background mimicking you.

If I just knew cord shapes and techniques that you use, I could go so far with my own music. That's definitely what's holding me back.... BUT NOT FOR LONG!!!

Awesome! You are an artist so glad I found your tutorials. Ty

I love how do you explain how to use efficiently a loop pedal, thank you so much ! keep your enthusiasm like tha,t you rock ;)

I like the idea of this but how does one perform a song that has multiple chord progression structures? eg the chorus chords are completely different to the verses? Does the looper cater for these 'sections'??

where are the names of the songs?????

paul awesome! after a couple of months searching ...find another magician on the guitar...cheers bro

Spot on thanks for sharing. You inspired me to knock the dust off my looper and explore.

Fuck me looks like I'm gonna spend money again. Only now have I realized I need a looping station

me: oh look a video *shape of you starts playing* me: nope

Instruments make all the difference in songs. Thanks Paul. I really enjoyed.

You have helped me get my guitar skills to another level, I've watched many of your tutorials thanks the lot, cool dude....

Connor Mcgregor?

WHERE IS WHITEWASHED BY BUCKETHEAD....sorry for all caps

Hey bro, u r just simply awesome! I Watched lots of your vids and really enjoyed it. Keep posting!

Dude you are AMAZING!!Your humor almost put me on the floor. Yeeesss thumbs up
