PLAY JAZZ WITH YOUR LOOPER PEDAL

In The Jazz Guitar Looper Pedal Book, much time was taken to add essential techniques, theory, reference charts, riffs, chords, scales, arpeggios, tips, and more. So, this book is not only great for your looper but also for learning and improving your jazz playing in general.

The guitar looper pedal has become a must-have companion for all guitar players, especially jazz musicians! Excellent for practicing and performing, the looper is an essential guitar pedal to woodshed (practice) those never-ending variety of chords, scales and arpeggios until the wee hours of the morning.

The book includes notation, tablature, chords, and many valuable charts to use repeatedly. Other subjects covered in the book are the daily jazz guitar warm-up, extended scales, a concise jazz chord library, and a selection of fretboard and theory charts. In addition, there is an extensive selection of audio tracks and videos available on my website to aid learning.

In the loops-by-step section, you will find a logical step-by-step guide on creating well-layered backing tracks and soloing suggestions to get the most from your looper. In this section, you can mix and match chords, comping patterns, bass loops, riffs, scales and arpeggios using the major 7th, minor 7th, dominant 7th, and minor 7b5 chords. The loops provided only a guide. I'm sure you will follow your ear and go well beyond what this book presents.
Let's face it, thousands of hours are required to play jazz. There are backing tracks and countless videos, but they take time to locate and set up. With the looper pedal, you can instantly create your own unique loops tailored precisely to what you need to work on. It really is like having another player at your disposal 24/7.

Review Quotes From Brent's Other Looper Books

...I've had a looper for a couple of years and never did too much with it until I got this book.

Get a metronome app on your phone or find a website on your pc, set the tempo to something slow (50-60). Play through the first layer. If you don't get a clean cut, erase and try again. Once you've got the base cleanly recorded, stop the metronome and add a layer. Continue building layers until you've recorded all 5 for the song. Solo over the top of the loop, or erase it and practice again at a slightly higher tempo.

While not suitable for an absolute beginner, I think anyone with the ability to read music (all songs show staff and tab), pick individual notes, and strum some basic chords would enjoy practicing the loops in this book.

There's a good reference section in the back with scales and chords.

I've got a Boss RC-1 which doesn't have any fancy features -- any basic looper should do.

The only downside so far to using this book is that it gave me the incentive to go out and buy a new octave pedal to add some variety to the loops... beware!
