How to actually practice with a looper // Gypsy jazz guitar lesson //

I use looper a lot in my practice sessions. I've found out that it's really useful tool if you don't have a chance to play with other musicians so often. I prefer it over backing tracks since it helps you to practice rhythm. Creating loops as I go gives me nice live feeling and it's closer to on the spot improvisation than playing with backing tracks.
