In The Jazz Guitar Looper Pedal Book, much time was taken to add essential techniques, theory, reference charts, riffs, chords, scales, arpeggios, tips, and more. So, this book is not only great for your looper but also for learning and improving your jazz playing in general.
The guitar looper pedal has become a must-have companion for all guitar players, especially jazz musicians! Excellent for practicing and performing, the looper is an essential guitar pedal to woodshed (practice) those never-ending variety of chords, scales and arpeggios until the wee hours of the morning.
The book includes notation, tablature, chords, and many valuable charts to use repeatedly. Other subjects covered in the book are the daily jazz guitar warm-up, extended scales, a concise jazz chord library, and a selection of fretboard and theory charts. In addition, there is an extensive selection of audio tracks and videos available on my website to aid learning.
In the loops-by-step section, you will find a logical step-by-step guide on creating well-layered backing tracks and soloing suggestions to get the most from your looper. In this section, you can mix and match chords, comping patterns, bass loops, riffs, scales and arpeggios using the major 7th, minor 7th, dominant 7th, and minor 7b5 chords. The loops provided only a guide. I'm sure you will follow your ear and go well beyond what this book presents.
Let's face it, thousands of hours are required to play jazz. There are backing tracks and countless videos, but they take time to locate and set up. With the looper pedal, you can instantly create your own unique loops tailored precisely to what you need to work on. It really is like having another player at your disposal 24/7.
