Vidami YouTube Looper Pedal

Full Description

Learn online faster

Many of us have been there before, attempting to sit down and learn a song from our favourite band or artist and become frustrated when learning a section or solo is too difficult to decipher exactly what is happening in the record. This becomes a particularly difficult hurdle to jump when learning a completely new instrument for the first time. Vidami is the fastest and easiest way to learn music on platforms such as YouTube, FenderPlay or Jamplay.

These are all invaluable resources for knowledge, especially within music instrument lessons but all suffer from the drawback of needing to use a traditional keyboard and mouse to click through videos to find the sections that are of interest. Giving you the option to loop, slow down, rewind and fast-forward, there's simply nothing else that exists on the market that fills this function.

Tackle the most difficult sections head-on, one phrase at a time until you're playing along to your favourite songs, in breakneck time!

Focus on your instrument, not your computer

Designed as a stompbox, Vidami feels natural and comfortable for guitar players as it works just like any other of your favourite pedals you have on your pedalboard. Just like when performing your songs in the rehearsal room or on stage with pedals at your feet, using Vidami will become second nature to you, allowing you to stomp on the buttons for looping, slowing down, rewinding and fast-forwarding all without ever needing to take your hands off your instrument.

Optimise your practise time

Learning a song as a beginner, or even pro can be tricky without having the artist in the room with you teaching you every step along the way. Without them, you'll be relying on your trained ear to pick out notes from a chord or riff and sometimes, you might get this wrong. This is where visual learning becomes abundantly helpful. Watching along to your favourite tutor showing you how to play the song or by watching the band perform live through video footage can help get you closer to the polished finished product than relying on your ear alone.

When learning through popular sharing websites such as YouTube, each time you stop and start a section by rewinding with a mouse and keyboard can take up to 13 seconds! You will need to take your hands off your instrument, click through the video and go back to the specific section you need to play again. All the while you'll need to scramble to get your hands back into a fretting position, ready for the video to play and hope you don't miss the start of the section and need to rewind again. These seconds can quickly add up in even the shortest of sessions when learning a song. Research suggests that it may take anywhere from 10-100 repetitions of a movement to internalise it and commit it to muscle memory. Consider you may need to split a song up into four sections, where each section may take 50 repetitions with an average of seven seconds per repetition. Your total playing time for this will add to roughly 25 minutes, factoring in the time spent starting and restarting your video with traditional mouse clicks, you've wasted a potential 33 minutes in learning your song.

Using the Vidami, it will take you a modest one minute to set up each looping section, eliminating a staggering 29 minutes of starts and stops using a traditional mouse and keyboard. For every hour session, you're saving roughly half the time on set-ups!

Break the 10,000 rule

The Vidami lets you break the system. A traditionally accepted rule is that 10,000 hours of practising any event will take you from beginner to advanced. Everyone has their own home lives and social lives they must upkeep and this becomes important when saving time and breaking the rule. Practising one hour a day, five days a week would result in a wasted 132 hours per year in setting up, rewinds, loops, mouse clicks and everything else that can hinder your flow.

With Vidami, you can half the amount of time it takes for you to hit your 10,000 hours. As outlined, with every one-hour session, you will save half the time, effectively doubling the time you can spend playing your instrument, learning songs and familiarising yourself with playing new material.

Slow down your songs, speed up your results

There was a time when musicians would need to physically slow down their favourite vinyl in order to playback a record at half speed to work out intricate chords or solos. Of course, this had significant drawbacks in that the vinyl would suffer a de-tuning effect. With the benefit of digital archiving, through most websites that offer video services, you can slow down the video speed and with Vidami, you can take control of this power and slow down the speed to 75, 50, 35 and even 25 percent original speed, with no de-tuning!

Combined with the looping function, Vidami lets you loop sections at a reduced speed to give you a perfectly clear picture of what is happening with the song you are trying to learn. For session players aiming to learn complex songs on a squeezed time schedule, Vidami is the ultimate solution! No other learning tool on the market has this functionality to optimise your learning speed and methodology.
