Anyone use Ableton push 2 with guitar?

Looking to try to figure out the best setup for looping my guitar with push 2.

Anyone any tips?

A foot pedal would be much more useful, with the Push you'd have to let go of the guitar to operate it. I'd say a foot pedal was almost necessary for guitar looping.

When I've done some looping on the PC I just used a basic midi sustain pedal and it worked a treat.

Check Paul David’s on YT

Im using an m-audio pedal but its quite fiddly to setup.

Just click learn mode in ableton, select the command you want it to perform, press the pedal - done

A lot of the Ableton produced videos are really good. I don't know if there any specific to guitar but definitely think it's worth watching them repeatedly, as some of the concepts take a while to sink in (maybe that's just me). Push is great, but personally I don't use it directly for guitar, I use it to come up with non-guitar related ideas I can then add guitar to.   

There is a good user community, you might have a local user group you can meet up with to get inspiration / tuition?
