Looping to Create Interesting Textures

One piece of equipment I find of extreme value is a loop pedal. I feel it is a perfect tool of experimentation, allowing you to mesh different chords, riffs, base lines, and even drum beats together. There are so many different harmonies and textures worth exploring. Below is an old video of one of my first experiences with a loop pedal. Listen for the harmonic overlap in the riffs. 



In a nutshell, I took a chord progression, added 2 small riffs, and then played around with some improvisational ideas. It will provide you with hours of endless fun!

Happy Jamming
