This is really lovely Petri, though Its been a while since i experienced a period of time when I felt like I needed to stop looping and start writing and playing without loops, I understand the feeling and may I offer this. If i were a singer songwriter guitar player, I would do much less multi-tasking than I do now and i doubt I'd do more than create a bit of guit-box groove and perhaps a bridge or solo section change that I could undo, or minimal ostinato note or two that works against all of the chords and leave it at that. You might check out the great Joseph Arthur playing solo on Youtube for inspiration in this regard., though I think he is doing more sophisticated things than what i described above these days, probably on a lap top :-). The other thing is perhaps you may be more of a hardware guy , some of us still are:-). Any of the techniques i described above can be done on the most basic of loopers. I've been teaching guitar for many years and I can say without question that if you are a life long student of the guitar, as I am, a basic looper is your practice pal, your song writing partner, and your rhythmic butt kicker all in one, it doesn't have to be a glowing screen with endless possibilities.
good luck and stay in touch
