The Blues Guitar Looper Pedal Book

Book excerpt: The looper pedal is an excellent companion for the blues genre! Most styles of blues have a repeating chord progression like the twelve-bar blues making it perfect for looping. Guitarist Brent Robitaille has created two, four, eight, twelve, and sixteen bar multi-layered loops divided into four or five separate layers or parts. Each loop contains riffs or a melody, a bass line, chords, and a rhythm pattern. Get your loops sounding better with the "ten tips for making great loops" and also improve your solos with the "ten tips for making great solos." Also included: blues scales, standard blues chord progressions in all keys, blues strumming patterns, chord spelling charts, fingerboard charts, and a section on how to play slide guitar with exercises. This book serves two functions: how to use your looper pedal musically and efficiently to create blues loops for soloing and performing, and how to improve your blues guitar playing. A welcome addition for any guitarist looking to expand their blues playing using a looper pedal.
