Introduction to Looper Pedals: If you’re a solo guitarist, you’ll probably want to use a looper pedal. It is a valuable tool for most guitarists as they can loop back on their recordings. It’ll allow you to record riffs and chord sequences and then play the recordings back in a loop. Moreover, you’ll be able to add or overdub it to the loop by adding an unlimited parts over the top of the initial recording, and it’ll be added to the loop.

Dian Annakin
Years ago, I took lessons from Art, My influence is mostly blues based rock like Zep and Clapton, later I formed my own band and released some tracks. The lessons I took from Art gave me the ammo to improvise and compose on the guitar.
