Hello Loopers 👋 As the community is starting to grow (which is VERY cool), I just wanted to take a moment to explain the different options here — no pressure, just clarity 😊 Most of you have joined on the FREE plan, which gets you into the community, discussions, and general Loop Academy vibes. That option is always there. If you want to go deeper, the next step up is Premium, which unlocks the flagship courses and all the proper “let’s level this up” stuff. Right now, Premium is $49/month — which is actually cheaper than the YouTube Membership 👀 But… that price is only for the first 20 people (we’re already at 17 as I write this). Once we hit 20 Premium members, the price goes up to $59/month, which then matches YouTube. HOWEVER (important bit… stay with me 😄) There is a way to make Premium way cheaper. If you go annual, it’s $495 for the year, which works out at just $41.25/month — and that price is locked in for 12 months 🎉 That annual plan gives you: - Full Premium access - Every course in the Academy - Plus all new courses, including the upcoming RC-505mkII course, at no extra cost Honestly, if you know you’re going to be around, the annual option is by far the best value and the easiest “set it and forget it” option. And just to be super clear — there is ZERO obligation to upgrade. I’m genuinely happy you’re here on any plan. That said, I do want to grow this into something sustainable so I can put more time, energy, and love into the community (and yes… earn a wage from it too — just being honest ❤️). Hope that all makes sense. Thanks for being part of The Loop Academy. Happy looping 🎶 JP

Hey Loopers This is a little assignment for you to start thinking about HOW you start looping the 'groove' of a song. This isn't a full song, this is an exercise. Think of the following: Setup: 4-count loop, somewhere between 85–95 BPM - either use a metronome or a built in rhythm on your looper. Build: Record a one-chord rhythm using muted strums or a repeating riff - think of your favourite beat or riff that you feel MOST comfortable playing. get the rhythm going with this or record the riff. Variation: Now.. stop. Delete this riff and change the pattern or rhythm and re-record it with that variation as a new loop. Either change the strumming or picking pattern. Challenge: Add a percussion layer and keep everything as tight as possible. Reflect: What version felt most stable? Which version gives you, as an artist space to play over the top? Let me know how you get on. JP

The Sheeran Looper X Course is now Live on the Classroom. more videos to come but enjoy for now.
