Looping pedals have been with us for a while now, finding favour with everyone from buskers to stadium rockers.
Listen carefully, and you'll notice the best players go well beyond looping basics, using the technology to make one guitar sound like an orchestra, create multi- layered soundscapes, or build whole song structures out of interconnecting loops.
A virtuoso player, Alex Hutchings is an avid user of looping technology. He has helped Boss develop some of its most innovative products, and is an international clinician for the Japanese brand -- so he knows his tech, too. In this video, he gives us a five-step tutorial to get you looping more creatively than ever before.

Finally... Thank you for showing when your foot pushes the button(s) to start and stop. Too much time is taken with many other looper tutorials shredding and doing their own guitar doodling stuff vs. actually showing how the pedal works.

Alex Hutchings is a fantastic guitar player, because he started off the right way. While growing up, Alex intensely studied the many styles, modes, tone, and improv lead creations of the amazing Steve Lukather. You can even hear Lukather-style nuances, in everything he plays. That's why his leads sound soooo sweeeeeet! BRAVO ALEX!

Not normally a fan of anything more than a 6 string but I really do like how Alex applies the lower strings in the funk jam in the middle, he's incredibly creative.

Wow. I'm so glad I found this video. I got a Boomerang III for my birthday recently, and want to use it live, but I've been frustrated with figuring out how to actually do interesting stuff with just my guitar. There's a local art festival in the fall where I live that I'd like to perform solo at (first time doing such a thing on my own). Really great video, I learned a lot on what ways I can use a looper with my guitar.

i think because some guys look at it for 1 hour, and didnt learn a thing. Couldn't replicate a song, melody or technique. Honestly, if ur just starting out, or your a beginner. This might not be the place for you,yet The ease, skill and tecniques will mostlikely have a disheartening effect. No shame in mastering the fundamentals before coming here. That way it might motivate instead of frustrate you.

Alex, every time I come back to view this short intro into Creative Looping, I am truly stunned by both your extreme proficiency on the guitar, and also by your sense of melody, harmony and rhythm. Now I know that you have had to dedicate an enormous amount of time practicing your craft/art but, the question I truly hope you will answer in this forum is, Did you rehearse the parts (albeit too brief parts), that you played in this masterpiece of a lesson, or did you just do 'spontaneous improvisations' ?? If possible, could you please answer this for me ? Thanks in advance mate.
