I’m going slow through these videos. This particular one I wanted to breeze through, but now I find myself seeing so much to learn from this. I may be stuck on this for a couple weeks.

Yep me too, am sticking on this one for a bit… :-)

Sure you can do that, but then the looper is playing the constant note, not you. In my opinion it's easier to hear and notice the connections between notes when you are actually the one playing everything. Especially when it comes to singing the note, as that's probably the most valuable thing you can do for your ear. Similar mentality to playing over backing tracks, nothing wrong with them but too many people just turn them on and disregard what's happening. However if you're the one actively playing everything, you can't disregard what's happening because you're playing it yourself.
