00:00:00.051 --> 00:00:01.111 align:center
Hi there, my name is Paul

00:00:01.131 --> 00:00:02.092 align:center
Davids and I'm happy you came

00:00:02.132 --> 00:00:03.493 align:center
to check out Loop School.

00:00:04.033 --> 00:00:05.213 align:center
Let me tell you about this

00:00:05.293 --> 00:00:06.654 align:center
course and why I'm so excited

00:00:06.674 --> 00:00:07.614 align:center
to be sharing it with you

00:00:07.934 --> 00:00:08.275 align:center
today.

00:00:08.535 --> 00:00:09.675 align:center
Loop School is a course for

00:00:09.715 --> 00:00:11.876 align:center
guitarists at all levels, teaching you

00:00:11.916 --> 00:00:13.137 align:center
how to master the pedal and

00:00:13.157 --> 00:00:16.178 align:center
create gorgeous loops, layer by layer.

00:00:16.838 --> 00:00:18.039 align:center
Using the skills you already have

00:00:18.099 --> 00:00:19.680 align:center
and just a basic loop pedal,

00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:21.000 align:center
you'll be able to unlock a

00:00:21.080 --> 00:00:22.641 align:center
whole new level of creativity and

00:00:22.701 --> 00:00:24.282 align:center
before you know it, you'll sound

00:00:24.322 --> 00:00:26.242 align:center
like your own band, all by

00:00:26.262 --> 00:00:26.663 align:center
yourself.

00:00:27.663 --> 00:00:28.664 align:center
At the heart of Loop School,

00:00:28.704 --> 00:00:30.705 align:center
there are eight original loops I

00:00:30.745 --> 00:00:31.905 align:center
wrote for this course.

00:00:32.546 --> 00:00:34.467 align:center
Walking through these beautiful loops step

00:00:34.507 --> 00:00:36.127 align:center
by step, you'll learn what to

00:00:36.148 --> 00:00:37.108 align:center
watch out for and how to

00:00:37.188 --> 00:00:39.269 align:center
effectively work past sticking points or

00:00:39.629 --> 00:00:40.930 align:center
challenges as they come up.

00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:42.691 align:center
You'll learn my favorite strategies for

00:00:42.751 --> 00:00:45.272 align:center
keeping your timing tight, creating layers

00:00:45.292 --> 00:00:47.373 align:center
that mesh seemingly, and building an

00:00:47.553 --> 00:00:48.714 align:center
arc into your loop that will

00:00:48.874 --> 00:00:50.275 align:center
captivate any listener.

00:00:50.995 --> 00:00:52.856 align:center
And I'll show you exactly what

00:00:52.896 --> 00:00:54.097 align:center
to work on so you'll never

00:00:54.157 --> 00:00:55.858 align:center
feel lost in your practice.

00:00:57.168 --> 00:00:58.870 align:center
Whether you're new to looping or

00:00:58.910 --> 00:01:00.912 align:center
have some experience, there will be

00:01:00.932 --> 00:01:02.053 align:center
a lot of great things in

00:01:02.073 --> 00:01:03.394 align:center
this course to help you build

00:01:03.434 --> 00:01:04.956 align:center
your looping skillset.

00:01:05.877 --> 00:01:07.839 align:center
You'll learn the basics of looping,

00:01:07.899 --> 00:01:10.662 align:center
from buying, setting up and using

00:01:10.722 --> 00:01:12.764 align:center
the pedal, to laying down a

00:01:12.844 --> 00:01:15.326 align:center
simple chord progression to improvise over.

00:01:16.327 --> 00:01:17.468 align:center
I'll show you how to think

00:01:17.828 --> 00:01:19.769 align:center
three-dimensionally to fill the space in

00:01:19.909 --> 00:01:21.490 align:center
each layer both by using the

00:01:21.530 --> 00:01:22.771 align:center
full range of the guitar, the

00:01:22.851 --> 00:01:25.172 align:center
vertical space and the note lengths

00:01:25.332 --> 00:01:26.453 align:center
and the amount of notes in

00:01:26.733 --> 00:01:28.934 align:center
the horizontal space so that your

00:01:29.054 --> 00:01:31.515 align:center
layers mesh beautifully every time.

00:01:31.655 --> 00:01:33.236 align:center
You'll be able to build fundamental

00:01:33.276 --> 00:01:34.657 align:center
timing and rhythm skills so you

00:01:34.697 --> 00:01:36.178 align:center
can craft loops that are steady

00:01:36.378 --> 00:01:37.339 align:center
over time and sound

00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:40.761 align:center
in the pocket, layer after layer.

00:01:41.381 --> 00:01:42.202 align:center
I'll show you some of my

00:01:42.262 --> 00:01:43.863 align:center
favorite ways to add more interest

00:01:43.903 --> 00:01:44.504 align:center
to your loops.

00:01:44.564 --> 00:01:46.885 align:center
For example, with percussive elements to

00:01:46.965 --> 00:01:48.066 align:center
add a little flavor and an

00:01:48.186 --> 00:01:49.367 align:center
arc that leaves you room to

00:01:49.427 --> 00:01:49.747 align:center
grow.

00:01:50.028 --> 00:01:52.289 align:center
And most importantly, you'll have tons

00:01:52.369 --> 00:01:53.891 align:center
of fun playing solo music that

00:01:53.931 --> 00:01:56.212 align:center
sounds like an entire band, with

00:01:56.312 --> 00:01:58.254 align:center
layers that sound beautiful together while

00:01:58.314 --> 00:02:00.175 align:center
playing your guitar more than ever

00:02:00.435 --> 00:02:00.856 align:center
before.

00:02:01.576 --> 00:02:02.457 align:center
It's going to be a lot

00:02:02.497 --> 00:02:02.797 align:center
of fun.

00:02:03.538 --> 00:02:04.659 align:center
Guitar looping is one of the

00:02:04.739 --> 00:02:06.581 align:center
most enjoyable and creative things I've

00:02:06.621 --> 00:02:07.502 align:center
done with my guitar.

00:02:07.542 --> 00:02:08.202 align:center
I just love it.

00:02:08.903 --> 00:02:10.544 align:center
The way you can structure songs,

00:02:10.604 --> 00:02:12.126 align:center
building from nothing to an entire

00:02:12.266 --> 00:02:13.847 align:center
orchestra, it's amazing.

00:02:14.468 --> 00:02:15.369 align:center
And you can do it with

00:02:15.509 --> 00:02:17.090 align:center
just your guitar.

00:02:17.851 --> 00:02:19.292 align:center
What most people don't realize is

00:02:19.332 --> 00:02:20.594 align:center
with the right kind of guidance

00:02:20.654 --> 00:02:22.635 align:center
and practice, anyone can learn to

00:02:22.715 --> 00:02:23.436 align:center
loop well.

00:02:24.557 --> 00:02:26.399 align:center
So, if you're ready to build

00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.623 align:center
your looping skillset, create exquisitely

00:02:29.723 --> 00:02:30.043 align:center
lovely

00:02:30.103 --> 00:02:31.845 align:center
music, and get more out of

00:02:31.885 --> 00:02:33.307 align:center
your guitar than you ever thought

00:02:33.367 --> 00:02:35.069 align:center
possible for yourself, I would love

00:02:35.109 --> 00:02:36.470 align:center
to have you join me inside

00:02:36.490 --> 00:02:36.951 align:center
the chorus.

00:02:37.972 --> 00:02:39.093 align:center
I hope I see you at

00:02:39.133 --> 00:02:39.513 align:center
Lopeschool.

00:02:40.494 --> 00:02:40.715 align:center
Cheers.
