(3:02-3:20) HALF SPEED BREAKDOWN
I use the gibson echoplex as my main looper, which has a half speed function that slows
your loop to half its speed and drops it an octave. Once you have it in half speed, let
repeat four times before you go into the syncopated hits.
At this point, if your loop pedal has a "start from beginning" function, hit that on
to get a stutter effect going. I'm sure you could get the same effect with a Line 6 DL4
pedal. But in all reality, the Gibson Echoplex is by far the best looper on the market.
of functions and spot on quantization.
After that section, return the loop to normal speed/octave. Anyways... On with the song...

(3:32-3:56) UPBEAT HITS (NO MORE OVERDUBS)
Play all of these notes on the upbeats in time with the loop so that a constant eighth
pulse is playing between these lines and overdub #2.

(3:56-4:44) OUTRO
For the first repetition, make sure the loops are muted. Keep an eye on the midi clock
from your looper to stay in time with the muted loops. After you finish the first cycle,
the mute off and all your loops should come back on in time with your live guitar.

(4:44-End)
Strum the above chords instead of arpeggiating them. The first repetition is in a
3-3-3-3-4 rhythm (i.e. 123,123,123,123,1234). After that, just strum constant eighth notes.
distortion to separate your mix from the loops!
Thanks! Have an awesome summer! :)
