For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

I have a looper...but I bought it specifically for one task: I use it when finding the best mic position for a guitar/amp/speaker combo.
The video - yes, he has smooth chops and he's dexterous when it comes to setting up his parts but it's a long, mellow jam to me.

I can see how a looper would not be the best tool if you want to record a song with several different parts.
Even with using it for practice your DAW can loop.
I guess it's designed for one man live shows.

At a "live" show I find them annoying.
99% of looping performers seem about the same to me.
2-3 minutes to assemble 4or5 2-4 bar tracks that never vary.
Then somebody doing something slightly less monotonous over it.
Until mercifully, it stops.
I usually leave before they get to whatever it is they are getting to.

Then they do it all over again in a different, key, tempo, groove.
Who cares?
Not me.

On the other hand
As a guitar player, a looper is a valuable practice tool.
Learning a tough part in a song?
Loop a few bars of the changes and beat on it till its right.
Move on the the next section.

Admittedly you can do it with apps like Transcribe, but a looper is pretty quick and dirty.

Overall, I think the world would be a better place without them.
