I packed all of John Mayers looping tips that he shared about 'New Light' into this video for you all to use in your live looping. Loop Pedal that I'm using is this: amzn.to/2Yd5Uju
There's a bunch of amazing tips that John Mayer shares on how to make a loop interesting. For those that don't know 'New Light' (a song of his), is based off a 4 chord loop. BUT... it's these little nuggets that he shares that we can apply to our own looping as a guitarist/songwriter/loop artist, and really help take our looping to the next level.
I'm sure you'll pick up some little gem that you can use to improve from this video and if not - well I hope you smiled at some point during it!
Another thursday tech tips video :)

Another brilliantly articulated bunch of tips and tricks mate. And it hasn't gone unnoticed that every Tech Tips intro is different and relevant to the subject. It's little details like this that make your videos stand head and shoulders above the rest. Fantastic work :)

For RC300 users, the all start/stop pedal allows you to use the same technique for playing a chord for a one bar break. Another good thing I do is leave a guitar riff loop playing but drop out my rhythm sections and guitar chord sections but play the guitar chord with a 1 strum per bar technique to give some nice dynamic range to the song

Also on a side note I’ve worked out a way to get 4 mono loops out of the Ditto X4 using 2 AB footswitches and one ABY Pedal. It’s quite tricky to remember all the foot presses but lots of loop possibilities. May get around to doing a video soon.

yeah it's pretty neat eh? Sadly no - there's no loop fx on the the Voicelive 3. The closest I can get is stopping the loop and playing and holding the chord live, (or leaving just the rhythm loop going and playing the chord live, then kicking both loops back in for the next section).

Thank you so much for your wonderful videos and tutorials! You have inspired me at my age to add some looping songs to my show and need some advice! Is it cool to perform wearing headphones as opposed to in -ear buds? I have noticed a significant difference in the quality and my confidence level with headphones. I have also used Shure E215 IEM but I don't get the bass and warmth as I do with headphones. Is it kosher to perform wearing headphones?
@davidshanhun
@davidshanhun 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much! I think you can really do what you want... however in saying that, I think you'll find some places or people have some objection to headphones - that's just my perception of places here in New Zealand and not necessarily true just my thoughts! I totally get what you're saying though - I have cheap in ears, and they have nothing compared with full headphones. I would simply do gigs with your full headphones and see what feedback you get from the venue and if you keep getting booked! If so then all is good. Much more a fan of trying things and seeing what response I get before just not ever doing it haha! Hope that helps!

Mostly because it was in my Amp case at the time, and then I do like the little options of fx that it has - the fade out at the end and the 'hold' option over that Gmaj7 chord. The VL3 doesn't have these little options, although I'm still using the VL3 for my shows rather than the ditto at this point.
