Ear training recommendations would be great, popular songs you consider easy to learn by ear maybe, thanks

Dominick Tusa

would love it if you could do a practice video for Sands of Time

Dave U. Hall

Great question. I’m not a slap player. But I wouldn’t mind some pointers on that.

Wes Sperry

I would love all of the above but social media tips would be great. As an older player that is one of my bigger issues.

Dave U. Hall

If you do something on slap. I think how to get the best tone would be beneficial as well. Strings, pedals, pickups, setting knobs etc… kind of thing.

Joachim Dozin

Could we get tabs for Luna, Beautiful Nightmare or The End of the Road ?

Paolo Brandimarte

Recording multilayer tracks using a looper would be also great

Jonas Chan

Would love social media tips!

Paolo Brandimarte

Every looper has its own peculiarities, so technical advice could be of limited value for most users. However, I think that a simple but fully worked example would help a beginner like me. I mean... you see plenty of excellent demonstrations on YouTube, but they are rather challenging, and there is a gap between those beautiful (but beyond my reach) examples and the crap I can come up with. A simple (yet musically sensible) example could be very helpful as a starting point.
