Welcome to mattstevensguitar.com a website about live looping acoustic guitarist Matt Stevens.
What is Looping?
The process of overdubbing multiple parts on top of each other live to create harmony/percussion parts using a single instrument. Live Looping lets you orchestrate live and create complex arrangements as you go - using a volume pedal you can even create string sounds - percussion comes from banging the guitar.
Looping was first around in the 70's courtesy of Fripp/Eno and has been developed by artists such as Andy Butler, Loop Room, Fripp, Chet Atkins, Nels Cline etc - see loopers delight for more info.
