A-B Loop Player for YouTube
To loop a specific part of a YouTube video, open the track's settings in Mixtuby, set point A where the section begins and point B where it ends, and turn the loop on. Every time the video reaches B it jumps back to A. YouTube's own loop button only repeats the entire video, so a guitar solo in the middle of a six-minute song means dragging the progress bar back by hand. This page opens with a rock playlist of 47 videos, starting with Queen's “Bohemian Rhapsody”, which has plenty of sections worth practising.
Why It Works
Practice is mostly repetition of a few hard seconds. A guitarist plays the same four bars twenty times. A singer goes over one phrase until the breath comes in the right place. A dancer runs the same eight counts while working out the next move. Someone learning Spanish replays one sentence until the words stop running together. In each case the hands should be on the instrument or the notebook, not on the screen, and the loop takes care of the rewinding.
Why Mixtuby
You decide how many times the section plays. It can go round a fixed number of times or keep going until you stop it. After the last pass the player continues the song from B, stops, or moves on to the next track, and continuing is the default. Loops are saved per track, so a practice playlist can hold a different section in every song. Pair a loop with the speed control to work through a passage at 0.5x before bringing it back to full tempo.
Perfect For
How to Listen
Start the loop a beat before the hard part, so you have time to come in.
Set a number of repeats when practising, so the song carries on once the drill is done.
Name your practice playlist after the piece, and give each track its own loop.

A-B Loop Player for YouTube — FAQ
What is a good gift for someone learning guitar from YouTube?
A clip-on tuner and a capo cover most beginner songs. A pair of closed-back headphones helps them hear the recording while they play over it.
Can YouTube loop only part of a video?
Not on its own. The loop option on YouTube repeats the whole video. Mixtuby adds A and B points on top of YouTube's embedded player, so any stretch of the video can repeat.
What happens when the loop has finished?
You choose. The song can carry on from point B, the player can stop, or it can jump to the next track in your playlist. Carrying on is the default.
Can I loop a part and slow it down at the same time?
Yes. Each track has its own speed between 0.25x and 2x, and the loop and the speed work together.
Are my loop points saved?
Yes, in your browser, for each track separately. Sign in with a free account and they follow your playlists to your other devices.
Does the A-B loop work on a phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser on phones, tablets, computers and TVs, with nothing to install and no account needed.
