[@popitastic]

Just seen Ed S in Tampa Bay Florida and wax really inspired to take my guitar playing down the looping path. Your vids are really helping..,thanks, btw...where in north of England are you from?

[@Max-fx6sk]

Hi Lee, this tutorial helped me a lot, please could you do a tutorial on Photograph? It's one of my favorite songs.

[@ashleywelding5469]

Really appreciate your videos lee I'm fairly new to looping but the way you explain it is really good an I'm improving each time I get the looper out. Thankyou for all your efforts and time taken to teach people an I can't wait to learn more from you thanks mate

[@leetownsend]

That means a lot! Thanks. I should be in my new studio in the next month or 2 so the loop stuff will be starting up again. Which looper do you have?

[@ashleywelding5469]

Cool 😊 I just got the boss rc50 mate I love it I did have the rc1 to start with an I used to have the rc30 but couldn't suss it out 😂 so never used it. But I'm getting back into it now an got a bigger pedal. Also got the fs5u

[@ashleywelding5469]

If you could do a loop tutorial for 'don't' that would be boss 😁

[@Raymanviper]

nice work thank you

[@richardrussella3362]

Thank you , very well done , 👍🏻

[@BanthamLegend]

Use some natural boot dubbing on the leather ends to soften them a bit :) Nice tutorial video. Have you thought of getting some acoustic treatment for your room?

[@ReSourceEnergetics]

That is so good! Alan

[@shellsea9520]

TKS MATE LOVE YOUR LESSON VERY APPRECIATED LOVE ❤️ 😍 💖

[@SmartGuitarTools]

Bravissimo!

[@dominiksolecki4036]

Thumb up from me ! Greetings from Poland!

[@sheehannag1283]

This was helpful dude! Great work, Do I need to have any extra equipment to loop that vocal going in the background?

[@leetownsend]

Thanks man! What equipment do you have? Are you using a loop pedal?

[@martinjoewalter]

Hey Lee, really appreciate your accurate tutorials, they really help because that's exactly what Ed plays. My question is: I have the same Loop Pedal, the RC-30, but which gadget do you use for changing the chanel so quickly? which pedal is that? Cheers mate :)

[@martinjoewalter]

damn u mentioned it seconds after hahaha

[@KingKonk95]

What was the answer to this? I have a boss RC 20XL is it possible to have two channels on this too? Thanks :)

[@jinc9643]

The BOSS FS-6 Foot Switch allows you to switch channels quickly and easier, rather than to hold onto the stop button for 2 seconds. I assume he was using that as well in the video.

[@stevetynant6666]

I think Ed actually plays this with an alternate tuning - but your right I like Lee's version aswel

[@simonking7933]

Hi Lee- great version but I just can’t seem to get the power chords right- I can’t quite see what your three fingers are playing and I can’t make it sound right. Can you (or someone else) please give a tab notation for these three chords? Thanks in anticipation.

[@PerryPalmtree]

Can you please make a video of how to set up everything. The station with the 2 mics and guitar you know. Thanks in advance.

[@vijant1395]

Hi I really like watching your videos. Do you play piano? Just wondering. Nice video

[@leoalex3092]

Thank you

[@HanginWithSnakes]

I just got a Ditto X4 which has two channels. Looks like you have similar setup, do you just switch back and forth between the two?

[@dreamaxemusic9705]

can you do photograph loop tutorial?

[@maijakuoppamaki2763]

can you do this with using a rc-3 and a fs-5U? or do you necessarily need two channels?

[@alfiemusic1370]

The power chords don’t sound right when I play it

[@dolcedolce9840]

i can't understand how to play 5:43~6:23 Lee or someone please tell me in detail!

[@2kThrillaMwKilla]

dolce dolce I think that he’s plucking the strings then going DDU but not sure that’s just what I think

[@tomboundy9824]

Think the G string down to E sounds better but I’ve snapped at least 3 strings cause of it! Very good tutorial nonetheless...

[@leetownsend]

Hi Tom, yeah I’ve had to stop playing Tenerife Sea at my gigs for that reason. Every time I tune back up, the string snaps.

[@cephlon]

Hi! Quick question, so I’m aware some performances have the G string tuned to E3, and I was wondering if there’s any way to transcribe this stuff into that key? I can send you the current tabs I use.

[@leetownsend]

I hadn't really looked into playing it that way. Feel free to join my Discord server and we can discuss it there. discord.com/invite/pT4yT4kU

[@tomasnusser2254]

When you are singing (not recording your voice, but the base drum), how do you prevent the other mic from recording your voice?

[@carliemai1832]

I have the same problem! Possibly quickly turn off the Mic when your not recording before you start singing, that's my only solution haha!

[@PerryPalmtree]

Hi what pedal do you use to change tracks?

[@benpartridge2220]

Nah bang the capo on the 6th fret drop the G down to an E

[@MarcBarrios]

This is tru!

[@Yendrek_]

How much channels do you have? It looks like impossible thing XD

[@maziheydary6215]

Can someone explain the secondary mic, if it goes into a loop station, the out to PA/amp?

[@leetownsend]

Sure, it goes out into the same channels as the guitar. It doesn't have its own output. That's why I use 2 mics as I can't EQ it by itself

[@RainersDIY-Garage]

It's waay more easier to play it with the alternate Tuning g string _to_e. Especially if you don't want that annoying slide noise. But after all nice Video and amazing Sound.

[@santiagocampos4222]

Does a boss rc-5 have 2 channels to play this?

[@leetownsend]

I'm afraid not. You need at least an RC-30 or the new RC-500 for this

[@knzzZ0]

What is the strumming pattern??

[@rickmusic.7521]

is it possible to play this on zoom g1xon looper?? please do comment , im from india and boss rc is really very expensive for me to buy at this moment, do help

[@leetownsend]

Hi Rick, does your pedal have 2 channels you can record to or just 1?

[@rickmusic.7521]

only one pedal for recording.

[@isaacbroadbent4959]

Why does Ed play it with a Capo on 4?

[@hudsonholdich3152]

7:05 you lied

[@Raven-pt9bf]

How to start both of the tracks simultaneously? U just stomped 1 onetime ???

[@leetownsend]

I armed both tracks before the stomp that you see
