          Playing with a Looper. I did not write this.
          Just showcasing it is just to play something on the fly. No setup no Ipad. Play and go lots of fun.

            Rockin the PRS birds with some style. That was really good Scott.

            Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

              Sweet idea with the looper – I didn’t even think of that for this challenge

                Sounds really good, Scott. Especially impressive doing it “on the fly”.

                  I remember that lesson. You play with precision. Well done! 👍

                    Hi Scott, great sounding piece for a looper/on the fly performance. I enjoyed it a lot!

                      Nicely played Scott. It sounded great. And I love your PRS CE 24 (I have one too).

                        Well played Scott! I do remember learning that lesson years ago, but I can’t remember which one it was. All I remember is it was pretty bloody hard for me to play at the time. You nailed it.

                          Scott, nice job, well played. I used my looper as well. Its a great tool but I dont get the greatest sound quality from mine (RC-5). Cheers. Pap

                                Sounds like you got some tasty chops there. Very melodic and textured. I think you were having some fun and it shows. Great submission.

                                  Hey Scott, I remember recording that one years ago and you put your own distinctive touch on it. You look like you know your way around the fretboard. Well played.

                                      Sounds really good Scott I’ve said this probably 3 or 4 times today but I love the simplicity of the guitar looped with guitar over it you get a real feel for the player and you did a great job my friend 👍

                                        That’s a really nice on-the-fly improvisation, Scott. That way, both the player and the listener have fun.

                                          You obviously have a really good ear.
                                          The tone on that PRS is unusual — almost organ like –, but you really make it sing.
                                          It took me a while to figure out when you kicked in the looper, but once I did I was able to see how good your lead phrasing is — tasteful on top of being cool.

                                            Play and Go, you make it so effortless. The looper is just the ideal set-up for solo players to have a rhythm and lead. That way to go … great work Scott.

                                              Yep, a perfect looper demo, Scott! Lay down a rhythm and start jamming – you have done it very well here! Not an easy lesson by any means but you nailed it 👌
