Re: Doug's gratuitous introspective comment / a band video w/ basiclooping
Thanks to all for an attempt at translating my comment :)
What I mean is:
- I've learned to take control of my loops (vs. letting them own the
tempo) via things like loop restart, truncating loops, and loop windowing
- I've learned to listen much more deeply than I ever have before (note:
I've been playing in various types of bands since I was a teen, I'm 40 now)
- The band is not playing to a click, and there's no MIDI synching, etc
- I've learned to work the feedback and loop volume parameters in a way
that now feels as natural as working the knobs on my guitar
- I've learned how to make loops "fit" in a band context - better at
thinking ahead melodically so that my loops fit across the changes
- I've learned how to communicate what I'm doing loop-wise with the
band, and how to incorporate looping into our collective thought process
and jamming
- I've learned to show up 15 mins early and do a looping warmup along
with my regular warmup :)
