one of the "charms" of the looping technique is to figure out how to make that clunker sound like it was meant to be there. I have found two ways (other than stopping and beginning again, of course): 1. cover it up. play something else very loud to drown out the mistake. maybe stack a chord with that interesting, extra note :-) 2. add some things around the mistake that make it sound intentional. this can be tougher to do, but can lead the loop in interesting directions. does anyone else have any suggestions?

I always use the mistakes to develop the loop in a different way. Even more of a growth inspiring challenge than listening to how badly my playing has gotten lately, which I'm already keenly aware of.
