I’ve wanted a Line6 JM4 Looper box since my guitar instructor, Will, showed me his last year. After scrounging around the house and finding a bunch of stuff to sell on eBay, I made enough to buy a JM4 - it was a factory rebox unit with a full guarantee and I got it for a great price, $259 with free shipping.

I can’t say enough good things about the JM4 and it is my intention to do a full review with sound and video as soon as I can. But on this Saturday night, I jammed along to the build-in track, “Unexcited” a cool bluesey number, in B.

Okay, I am not very good. My brain knows the minor pentatonic scale, but my fingers aren’t intimately familiar with it. There are some flubs, it’s less than 2 minutes long (I wouldn’t expect anyone to sit through a recording of mine for any longer than that,) and the recording just starts with no intro and no outro. Keep in mind, the amount of money I’ve spent on lessons could probably buy a decent used couch in the classifieds.

But I’m proud of it. Have a listen. Noob’s ‘Unexcited’ Jam (9.6 MB, 1:40)
