Why Loop Videos for Practice?

Learning music by ear requires repetition. Looping lets you:

  • Isolate a tricky passage and repeat it until you nail it
  • Focus on one section without constantly rewinding
  • Slow down to 0.5x or 0.25x speed for complex parts
  • Save loops to come back to later

How to Loop a Song Section

  1. Find the song on YouTube and copy the URL
  2. Paste it into LoopMyVid
  3. Play until you reach the section you want to practice
  4. Press [ to mark the start
  5. Play to the end of the section, then press ]
  6. The section now loops automatically

Or click "Custom Loop" and drag the markers on the progress bar.
