Anyone have any thoughts on any of the above? I've only played two solo looping gigs but both times I've heard people muttering things about synthesizers and keyboards. That's face it....most people have never been exposed to the idea of looping....or delay for that matter (I'm speaking of the average Joe/non-musical person here). Heck...even my girlfriend, whom I've explained the concept to many times before, still doesn't quite grasp it. Hopefully your music will speak through the "that guy isn't playing those sounds" questions. Playing a "traditional" guitar solo (I'm a guitarist....please forgive my bias) over the top of a loop, in my opinion, helps to remind people that you really are playing your instrument....even if they don't understand the technical aspects of your whole performance.
