    A You Need Me I Don't Need You Loop Tutorial is easily the most requested video on my channel so here it finally is. Ed Sheeran wrote this song back before his first studio album and it's arguably the song which got him recognised as it fused his folky "singer/songwriter" style with rap and hip-hop. I don't actually cover the song myself but hopefully my tutorial of the guitar loops will help some of you.

    For those wondering which live version he’s playing- “You Need Me I don’t Need You Captured in the Live Room”. I started listening to that video since 2014 and I’m absolutely ecstatic to have found someone making a tutorial on it after all these years. Mad props to this guy for making this easy to learn and fulfilling my longtime curiosity on how the hell Ed plays this song.

      Yeah, he definitely deserves more for his work and time put in. I just think most people are not looking for tutorials and such. People just like seeing the final product instead of how people get there or how to do it themselves.

      Thank you for your comment. Yeah I looked into that one but Ed uses his monster looper for that song which has 3 channels I think. With an RC-30, there's no way to get the loops exactly the same as Ed does. I'll try to come up with something though.

    Awesome job man! Thumbs up! I was almost upset when you said "pretty much that's all of the loops" and I knew there was the Layla-riff missing :D
    Very happy you added it although he is adding the layla part 2 times. First time like you played it, but then he doubles it an octave higher I guess. He does that in pretty much every video where he is adding Layla!
    But as I said, great tutorial! Keep it up buddy! ;)

    Hey Lee... first.. thanks for that super cool Video... it helped me a lot.
    Question: how do you get the volume of the loop mic so high? I have that Boss RC1 guitar and mic plugged in and the mic is ways to quiet. I need to scream loud to hear a good quality in the loop...

    • @leetownsend
      @leetownsend  4 года назад

      Hey, thanks for your comment. Glad you found the video useful. To be honest, I have the opposite problem with the RC-30. I have the mic level on about a quarter and it's easy as loud as my main mic and the volume control is super sensitive. Maybe try a different mic, that could be the problem?

  • @cristianeduardoipanaquevar2826

    I have one question. How do you make bass drum so loud? I am trying to copy this song and other Ed’s songs with looper ,but I cannot make only bass drum louder. Drum sound become always quieter than normal guitar sound. Please help me!

    • @leetownsend
      @leetownsend  6 лет назад

      Hey, thanks for the kind words. I'm not sure if you're referring to the bass drum sound on the guitar or using the mic to beatbox. With regards to guitar, I have 2 pickups installed in mine which make my sound a lot bigger, particularly when I play live shows. The magnetic pickup you can see in the soundhole is the one which picks up the strings of the guitar and there's another under the bridge. It's this bridge pickup which mainly picks up the "bass drum" sound and as it has its own cable from the guitar, I'm able to control its volume separately from the rest of the guitar.
      If it's the beatbox sound you're trying to enhance... Well, I'm terrible at beatboxing so I can't really help. One thing I do tend to do is use a "BO" sound rather than a "BU" sound. I don't know if that will help but it's worth throwing out there.
      Let me know if you need anything else.

    • @masat2161
