MY LOOP PEDAL [leetownsend.com/rc30-at-thomann/]
Stand by Me, the Ben E. King classic has grossed more than any other dong in history except for only one other. That is probably the reason that my loop cover of the song using my Boss RC-30 goes down so well when I play it live!
Here is my tutorial of my version of the song so that you can play it for yourself. Please consider subscribing if you enjoy what I do :)

That was awesome, can't wait to try it. One of the best tutorials yet
Such an awesome dude, so skilled and authentic, easy to follow and great fun. Love it, thanks mate.
Fantastic. Thanks Lee. Just got an rc30 gonna do a cover of stand by me. Gonna incorporate some fingerpicking too.
Brilliant.Merry Xmas
Your videos are quality man!
awesome man great job !!!
Thanks for the great tutorial
Awesome. Thank you every so much. I am interested in the live stream.
Thanks once again Lee a great tutorial. Please keep them coming and a live stream would be great. I play most nights so daytime is best for me 👌🏼
+Wallace Nock Nice one mate, I'll bear it in mind. Maybe I'll vary the times.
Well done great work.. I really enjoyed the video 👍
Thanks mate, great tutorial, cheers!
Great. Tks so much dor sharing. Just bought pedal so this is epic.
Thanks man, glad you like it
Very nice tutorial, just got an inexpensive looper to try it out before a bigger investment. Nice inspiration as well.
Very nice lesson. Thanks! Live streams would be great
love the channel
Buen trabajo de looping
Excellent. Thanks
Yes that was very very helpful, thank you so much.
Super helpful thanks!
You Kids are so cool! I love it! You do have a very nice vouce bye the way! Very cool harmonie! I love the whole thing!
Good job!
Thx for this 👌
Very Nice.
greetings from the Netherlands.
brilliant :) great job :)
OMG This could be the brother of that ukulele tutorial dude haha ✌️😁
nice Video...are you still doing the live stream tutorial?
Fab lesson thank you… looping though scares me 😧 one day I hope to be confident enough to do it live????🤞🏻
Look how many views this gets in comparison to some songs, this shows that this is a market slot.. I don’t think you appreciate how many bods would use this, obviously boosting viewings therefore boosting your music channel 👍 well done thanks ........
고마워요 덕분에 또 하나 배우고 가요

Hey Lee! I really, REALLY love your tutorials, they help a lot ! Would like to know you could make some videos with tips when creating your own loop based song, cuz i'm a solo artist and i'm kinda having a rought time making arrangements for my songs in the loop. Sorry for bad english, i'm actually brasilian xD
Hey Rafael. Thanks so much for your kind words man. With regards to looping originals, I would say that the best thing is to just try stuff and see how it sounds. Also, it would depend on what kind of thing you're writing. You might use a different kind of sound for a ballad as you would something you want people to dance to. I'll try to have a think for you though.
Thanks !! I'm actually writting songs kinda like maroon 5 with bits of ed sheeran and Panic!of the disco, dont know if you can picture it, but yeah xD
REALLY HELPFUL !
But the singing part in loop is quite difficult
Thanks, glad you found it helpful. The harmonies are fairly high pitched but they're not actually that difficult once you have them clearly in your head. You can always elaborate and do your own thing there too. Sometimes, I throw in a guitar solo instead when I play live just to keep things interesting ;)
After your initial loop on the rhythm guitar (chords), was everything else just an overdub on channel 1? Did you have to set up that channel to repeat every *.* measure? I am new to the looping world, using the RC300, but learning how to have the loop begin on its own. Also, any strategies, or tips on what channels should contain the rhythm, which ones should contain the beat, and which ones should contain the "flair"?
Sorry for the newbie questions, but I am trying to learn how to layer these things so you can "drop" them out when necessary
On this song, all of the first section is on one channel, yeah. The harmony vocal part towards the end goes on the second channel so that I can drop the first channel out.
If you imagine you have band members playing each loop and you have a section where some of them stop playing, put those musicians on one track and keep them separate from the other one. Quite often, I have a loop arrangement thought out in my head before I pick up a guitar.
Great tutorial. Have a Digitech Jamman Stereo, but the RC-30 looks easier to operate the two channels. Keep these vids coming mate!
Thanks so much for your comment. I haven't ever used the Jamman but the RC-30 isn't the easiest out there either. I don't know if you've seen my review on the pedal but I explain a couple of issues I have with it on there. A start/stop all feature is definitely the most major thing that's missing for me. VERY tempted to get an RC-300 just for my RUclips stuff and keep the RC-30 for live use as it's so much more portable.
Absolutely. The RC 300 gives you the seperate channels with individual control...... nearly twice the price here in Sydney though. Would be keen to see some demos and covers with the 300 too. Are you using the OC-3 for bass lines?
Really? How strange that it'd be so much more expensive. Yeah, I do use the OC-3 for bass, it sounds great live. I go over my entire pedal board setup in a video at ruclips.net/video/A2h7TIcE9-8/видео.html if you're interested in that.
I have now. Great stuff mate 😎
Thx for posting- 2 questions 1) I see a pickup in the sound hole but it looks like built in pickups as well ? - what are you using and why ? I’ve been looking at acoustics and I’m finding that the percussive hits are very low in volume when looped 2) why two mics ? - I see lots of guitar looper guys do this but why can’t you just sing the tune through the mic you used for the highhat sound ? Thx
Hey Andy, thanks for your comment and thanks for watching. I use a magnetic soundhole pickup and a built-in piezo pickup together. The reason is the percussive sounds are picked up more by the bridge so I can adjust the volume of that independently of the main sound for strumming chords. I use a separate mic for my lead vocals as the mic which is plugged into the looper can't be EQ'd differently to the guitar (they both go into the same channel on the desk). So really it's just so that I can get a better sound for my singing voice. Hope that all makes sense!
Makes sense -thx much Lee
what pickup are you using
Hi Lee, which of your videos would you say would be best to attempt as a beginner to looping. I have the RC30. Sorry if you’ve been asked this a million times.
Hi Jim,
I would definitely suggest starting with something that's using only one track. Dual track looping should be something you try once you have the basics down.
To be honest, I haven't made any loop content for quite some time, but that'll be changing in the coming weeks.
Maybe try something like Photograph by Ed Sheeran as the vast majority of that song is just 3 loops playing. You can find it at ruclips.net/video/Hv6DIakwrH0/видео.html
Keep a lookout for new loop content!
Cheers!
@@leetownsend Thanks so much for getting back to me mate. Your loop tutorials are amazing and myself amoung others will be glad to hear you in the coming weeks. Thanks again!
What's the tabs for the melody
Sounds like Police - Every breath you take XDDD I was just listening to it this morning...
WOuld this be a a good first song to learn using the loops pedal ?
Absolutely it would. Not too difficult but you can build on it as much as you want.
Lee Townsend thanks I’ll give it a go very soon
I'd recommend everyone to get the RC300. The pedals aren't quite as nice but track management is so much more convenient
RC-600 is the new standard. RC-300 was discontinued when Boss released the new line of loopers.
@@leetownsend yes of course. But if you're on a budget you can get a used rc300 and have so much more freedom with the track management alone, I think it's worth it.
Aaah, I see what you mean. If you're looking for something as complex as that, it's a great unit with a whole world of online presence to take inspiration from.
@@leetownsend it's not really complex isn't it. The main advantage vs the rc30 I'm talking about is the third channel and convenient play/stop buttons for each track, omitting the extra step of holding the button to switch channels on the rc30. Just like the dedicated "All Play / Stop" button.
Lee where do you get your Macbeth gear?
I've had it all since before they closed the European store. It's not easy to get these days so I feel a bit betrayed by them to be honest being a long time customer and fan. Need to find a new favourite brand...
Lee Townsend yeah aha I've been looking for ages for some stuff of theirs... awesome video too
I think there are a couple of UK dealers but nothing really in mainland Europe. It seemed to be as soon as they announced that they'd been bought out by Saban Brands, they stopped dealing with Europe. Not only that, I reached out a few times via email and Facebook and they didn't give me any information on when or if they would resume shipping to us. Obviously they're only interested in looking after their own... Glad you like the video :)
Would love to have you streaming live! And thank you for the tutorial!
Cheers! Yeah I'm just going over the logistics of doing it. I'm not sure if my camera can be used for streaming but I'll sort it out. Any preference of times or days?
