See the essence of music through looper.

I want to try the looper performance like the musician I adore was playing…

I guess many of you started using looper for such reasons.

But

“Never get better no matter what” “Especially not nourished sense of rhythm”

I guess many of you might be worring so.

This seems obvious now, I’m a specialist of rhythm, but I was not myself a person who had a good sense of rhythm.I graduated from a music university, but the sense of rhythm is not that important in the classical field, so I struggled very much against it when I started looper.Still I never gave up and kept focusing on “rhythm”. In result, I won first place in looper in Japan, and second place in the world.

You never can tell how to get a good sense of rhythm, can’t you?So I understand very well how you feel that you want to give up looper, which sense of rhythm is important.But, you will see the essence of music that I am going to explain from now on, you will be released from the time without preparation or reflection.


At this site,I will simply explain to you as much as I can about knowledge and techniques I have been building up for more than ten years in this blog

No worry.I who won second place at the looper world competition is on your side.You will be playing looper enjoyably with a big smile on your face in the near future.Don’t take it difficult, and take it easy, let’s learn “the essence of music”.

I will be telling you extensive knowledge about looper on this site.Please share this site with your friends and let’s improve your skill together.

Reasons for not playing looper well.

Well, so, does anyone know or explain why you can’t play looper well?

  1. Bad sense of rhythm. And it is difficult to take the pitch in vocal.
  2. It is difficult to manipulate a looper.

あI personally think that your point of view might be wrong if you mainly think the reason is because number 2.

I have been playing looper for more than ten years and there was some reason why “2” if a looper machine is an old type.But I could say “2” is not the reason because I think most of the new looper machines are probably made significant improvements.
Most of your problems might be resolved by changing to a new looper if using the old type of looper.
*I personally recommend button types of looper if you want to record looper exactly the right timing.

But, it is nine cases out of ten your problem if you still have serious problems like “sense of rhythms…” even using recent sold looper.I guess it is tough,

though do not turn away from the problems, face them as it is, that is the first step to be better.

Looper confronts to you such a severe reality,

You will be incredibly better to practice looper,by changing something

This is not talking much about “looper” but rather talking about “the essence of music”, but sadly most of music teacher don’t teach it.It is nonsence to be better without it even if you desperately practice hard for sence of rhythm or pitch.

You who had interested in looper are my fellows.

Music is “listening” for 100%

I will give you one simple example.

If you think “he or she is not so good at singing” when you went to Karaoke with friends

  • Singing is not fit with Karaoke accompaniment.
  • Bad pitch
  • His or her voice is louder or lower than Karaoke accompaniment sound.

I guess there are those common problems.

But do you think why do they happen so?

The reason is because your friend physically loses the sound of Karaoke accompaniment and her own voice in some parts while singing.


If you have experienced things the above,

“You are not monitoring correctly between accompaniment and your voice.”

This is it.You can not sing in right balance with Karaoke accompaniment because you can not monitor correctly.
Therefore those big problems happen that you can not sing well nor play well.

When learning a language, listening is coming at the first, then talking.
In order how little kids are able to speak words, they listen and understand words other people are speaking then after that, they will speak.

I can say it is the same thing for improving music.

Looper is the machine which puts together your voice, play and played in the past, it can not be formed if you can not monitor correctly from beginning to end.

I can say looper is an optimal practicing tool for growing the ability of “listening”.

  • If you haven’t become conscious of “listening” when playing looper, let’s keep in mind to it.
  • While you are playing, let’s check that you surely hear your voice and accompaniment sound from beginning to end.
  • If you lost sound even one part of it, stay calm at that point.
  • You are roughly losing yourself at that timing of missing sound.It’s like you are losing consciousness.Focus on listening not to have those problems.
Digression

As a side note, an impatient person tends to rush rhythm.
Because he or she is hasty and can not wait for the other sound of accompaniment.
The rhythm tends to rush very much, 70% of listeners could tell that “the player is not good at singing and playing”. Careful who recognize yourself is an inpatient personality.

I think most of problems might resolve like getting the rhythm on looper with changing this consciousness.
But, in order to much deeper parts of “good sense of rhythm”, “good at singing”, even professionals have been seeking every day.

I of course have my own theory, but I think there are individual differences in deeper part.So I want you to watch my play of the looper world competition and so down below, I’m thinking to tell my opinion to who is more advanced and interested from now on.

Though, if you practice “increasing efforts on listening” that I mentioned above this time, your skill will surely be higher than the average value, I want you to try by all means.

Also, I am introducing down below how to use looper for complete beginners who will be able to be advanced in the shortest time.I am specially introducing how to be good in the shortest time, please also check this out.

You can grow the ability of “listening” in the shortest time with using looper.

Let’s review the important points of today.
Please repeat in your minds.

  • Keep your mind on listening if you want to score 70 by playing and singing.
  • You can grow the ability of “listening” in the shortest time with using looper.

I didn’t have someone who could teach me looper like this.That’s why I needed lots of time to master looper.

But you are not.

You can save a huge amount of time and develop your skill in the shortest time by reading this site.

It’s too good to be true that I used to say “I’m bad at sense of rhythm” in the near future.

Let me say once again at last…

The second place in the world at looper is on your side.
