The Guitar Looper
Workshop

Who Is This For?

Whats Included?

The Guitar Looper Workshop includes 10 in-depth, step-by-step video lessons with over two hours of on-demand tuition that you can work through at your own pace.

 

Each lesson is accompanied by downloadable PDF resources to reinforce your learning, alongside practical musical examples that you can start applying to your own playing straight away.

 

Throughout the course, you'll follow real-world demonstrations showing exactly how to build loops from scratch, supported by clear on-screen diagrams and visual explanations.

 

You'll receive lifetime access, so you can revisit the lessons whenever you like, and the course can be watched on your computer, tablet or mobile device. It's also designed to work with most looper pedals, so you can follow along regardless of the model you own.
