Comment by Bluesheart on July 31, 2018 at 4:11am: Dang man, that is some serious jammin'!

Comment by Cigar Box Gus on July 31, 2018 at 3:54am: Thank you for watching, everyone who watched.

I might give the looper a rest for a bit...I feel like I’m getting a little “out there” with it. But I’ve got this new one in 11/8 time that really swings, ya know...

DL: I have a earlier edit of this same video on my Facebook page that I used iMovie for...the splices aren’t quite as seamless on that one. But I couldn’t get that file to upload, so I did this one in some fairly pro-level software I had access to. It lets you edit down to the frame (30 per second), so it’s fairly straightforward to do super-exact cuts like this. (I was also able to mostly crop out the fact that I was wearing cargo shorts, which improves ANY video, really.)

Comment by Dave Lynas on July 30, 2018 at 11:58pm: You can loop up a storm Clint! Sounds great. You spliced the video perfect too. I haven’t figured out those tricks. Magic to me!

Comment by Danny Gordon on July 30, 2018 at 6:37pm: nice mixture of sounds Clint
