Re: Looping question on usability...

Welcome to the list!
 
What you want to do is very possible.  Many do it already.
 
What can become a challenge is neatly starting and stopping the recording of your "verse" loop -- in perfect time.  Practice makes perfect.  Now, you must consider the foot move you make to start/stop your looper as something to practice, just like you once practiced changing chords without skipping a beat.
 
Alternatively, more expensive looping tools can be synchronized to drum machines that send midi information about starting and stopping things for you.
 
Good luck!

Subject: Looping question on usability...

Hi everyone, I am new to this list since I just bought my first looping pedal. I have a question about usability that maybe you can help out with.

 

Often I perform solo or in a duo with two guitars and one vocal. I was looking for a pedal that would allow me to record part of my guitar performance of a song (live on scene) and play it back later on so I can play a solo or add interesting fills while I sing. So basically I am only concerned with one loop, but it is going to be the main instrument track. I just bought the Boss RC 20 and I am having a little trouble with it. I have read that it takes some practice, but my question is… Is it really possible to perform a first verse live while recording with the loop pedal and perform the second verse with the loop? How difficult will this be?

 

Thanks in advance…
