Christmas Memories is on the album "A Cigar Box Christmas 2011" which is available as a free download here: http://www.cigarboxnation.com/forum/topics/2011-cigar-box-nation-christmas-album-released
It felt right to do my Christmas song using this strummer as I got it as a present last Christmas : -)
The strummer was made by Jay from tinyguitars. Check out his website http://www.tinyguitars.tk/
I wanted to film this against a green screen and put myself somewhere exciting, but didn't have the time to set all that up..so you'll have to make do with a Christmas hat and some coloured lights swirling around my dining room!! Thought they looked a bit like Northern Lights???

So I'll put "trying a looper pedal" on my to do-list for the next year... Thank you and have a fine Christmas/NewYearsDay holiday season.

Well I heard a musician friend using one in a pub the other week and it sounded really good!! If you go somewhere bigger you can always mic it up or connect it to the PA if they have one. You can do loops up to 40secs long, so if you want to do longer loops I'd check out one of the actual loop pedals

Thanks for your reply. Sorry to trouble you, bu ... Would the Roland AC33 be loud enough in a small club or café? And how long can you produce loops with the built in looper? Thanks in advance.

thanks Thorston, sounds like you'd really enjoy using a looper!

For this song I just used the looper that's on my amp (the Roland AC33) which you can control with a footswitch, but I do have the Boss RC20XL which has more functions (undo, reverse, different ways to stop, being able to save loops) I think that one isn't made anymore, the updated one is the RC30 I think.

The Boss RC3 and the Akai Headrush are worth looking at depending what functions you need and how much you want to spend. If you have lots to spend there's also the Digitech Jamman...

This one is my favourite on the compilation. I love songs where melodies are layered above each other. Think I'll get a looper soon too. Which one do you use?
