Loop YouTube Videos for Guitar Practice
Take any lesson, solo transcription, or backing track on YouTube, loop the four bars you're working on, and slow them down until your fingers catch up — without changing the pitch.
No sign-up. Your loops and speeds are saved per song.
Set up a practice loop in 30 seconds
- Copy the YouTube URL of the lesson or song and paste it into repeat-videos.com. It starts looping automatically.
- Drag the A handle to where the riff starts and the B handle to where it ends. Only that section repeats now.
- Drop the speed to 0.5× or 0.75×. The pitch stays the same, so you play along in the original key.
- As it gets clean, step the speed back up — 0.75×, 1×, and 1.25× for overspeed practice.
Why looping beats scrubbing back by hand
- No interruptions — the section repeats seamlessly, so you stay in playing position instead of reaching for the mouse every 20 seconds.
- Honest rep counting — the play counter shows how many times the loop actually ran. Fifty clean repetitions is a fact, not a feeling.
- Loops that persist — A-B points and speed are saved per video. Tomorrow's session starts exactly where today's ended.
- Shareable sections — send your student or bandmate a link that opens the same solo at the same bars and the same speed.
- No distractions — no recommended-videos sidebar, no comments, no autoplay pulling you into a different video mid-session. The lesson you chose just keeps looping.
Practice ideas that work well with loops
Slow-to-fast laddering
Loop a two-bar phrase at 0.5×, play it ten clean times, raise to 0.75×, repeat, then 1×. The counter keeps you honest at every step.
Problem-bar isolation
Tighten the A-B window to just the transition that keeps failing — often only one or two seconds — and drill exactly that, not the comfortable bars around it.
Ear training and transcription
Loop a lick at 0.5× and pick it out by ear before looking at the tab. Slower playback keeps pitches identical, so what you hear is what you play.
FAQ
How do I loop one part of a guitar video?
Drag the A and B handles on the timeline around the section. Playback repeats between them until you move the handles or turn the loop off.
Does slowing down change the pitch?
No — playback is time-stretched, notes keep their pitch at any speed from 0.5× to 2×.
Do I need an account?
No. Everything works as a guest. Signing in only adds syncing your saved songs and loops across devices.
