depends on the tempo/effects used/etc that could determine if it's already a song. Tbh, it's probably similar to many songs

Re: IMPORTANT: HOW TO BE A DECENT "SONG SMITH" (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I generally write alone, but have co-written with my band. I dont go 'looking for' songs either. I find that when I do write, I'm usually just messing around on my guitar, playing a few chords an' that. I've written loads of stuff that's just music and it'll take a phrase or something that I heard somewhere or humming a melody to myself to start writing lyrics. I've also written stuff that is just lyrics, without any music. This usually happens when I dont have my guitar at hand, some times I can put music to this easily, other times I find it quite hard to do. Tbh, I havent written anything in some 5-6mths.

The audience gets to see a tune created right before their eyes and I feel as though respect and appreciation is greatly enhanced with "the loop"
I know what you mean. I saw David Ford performing recently in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Had always been a big fan, but never saw him live. The first song he played (incidently my favourite song, "State Of The Union") he used a looping pedal. For the first 2seconds I couldnt figure out what was going on then it clicked on me. I took a few mates who had never heard of him, and they were instantly amazed. There was a definite appreciation of how it the looping was done throughout the crowd.
I'm actually looking for a looping pedal myself now, both for my band work and for a side-solo project.
