Lee Townsend
Registrace 10. 06. 2012
Born and raised in North-West England, Lee Townsend was introduced to music very young by his parents. In the house, they would play everything from The Who to Nat King Cole with Paul Carrack, James Taylor and Bruce Springsteen in between. Lee’s urge to become a musician also came at an early age, influenced by the fact that his father played in bands and would often perform locally. Lee’s first live performance was two songs in the interval of one of these shows and he was instantly hooked.
Throughout his early teens, Lee would obsess over the music of Crowded House, Oasis and Stereophonics. These three artists, amongst others, are responsible for him learning to play the guitar and doing everything he could to pursue music as a career. He would later develop his taste further by exploring blink-182, Green Day, Muse and Foo Fighters until, in 2006, Lee relocated to Southern Spain.

I really wish I could play my guitar like you! <3
Practise makes perfect! 😉
Great review!!! Looking for a review with the pedal as well.
Please do a tutorial on Ed Sheeran’s new performance of you need me, I don’t need you on the Sheeran loopers channel.
7 years later and I constantly get that bass line intro stuck in my head and you're the only person on CZcams that shows this in their cover/tutorial, all the rest start from the chords, and I just needed that bit to practice to get it out of my brain! Thank you. Also, I subbed, went down a bit of a rabbit hole, I like your content :)
I don't think this is just your model. I have two costume core 24s and they both break strings!!!! A, D and G always at the bridge every time! I have tried everything from filing the bridges between string changes which is about every 5 -6 weeks or sooner lubing everything that moves. I like to use 10 gauge strings but I may have to move up to 11s. I have tried lots of different strings and it doesn't make much of a difference. I have tried 11s and they definitely last longer but hard on the fingers when your playing 80's Rock n roll! Currently I use the Ernie ball Rps and they seem to be the ones that last the longest But... they still break! I am an aggressive player I know is part of the problem but kind of hard to teach an old dog of 48 years of playing to change if you know what I mean. Any suggestions?
Lee I have a very important question why dosnt this video have way more likes wow great job
Who the hell cares what a ten year old unit can't do? You have wasted my time.
People who have the ten year old unit and want to know if it's worth upgrading
Make a 3 year later video with the same song and baby! :D
It's amazing bro
Read this it will save you money...Tesla #2 is here again. After seeing all video I've perfect ideas that will everyone agree 100%. Don't buy charging dock it's to expensive just buy guitar stand it cost 20-30$ and you already have charging cable. I actually have bought 2 guitar stands for 30$. If you buy Lava do what i said It'll save over 100 dollars.❤🕊️🌍👌👍
What I personality think that Lava should've 2 or 3 additional bridges for different action set ups. Lava should've done it, bridge isn't so much expensive to make anyway. You've to have creative thinking in order to be successful in anything. That lava additional Bridges would make lava better and would have much more customers too. However, latest Lava Spruce is my favourite with string gauges 010 or 011. That's why I've mentioned 2 or 3 bridges each would set different strings action also combination of string gauge and set up bridge action. That's a called creative and innovative thinking. Lava should take my ideas. My name is Tesla #2. People don't know me yet. I've invented lot of very important industrial important products that no one ever comes with ideas to create. Because of no creative and innovative thinking. As young i was first involved in art painting then i was 13 years when I've learned to play guitar and drums then later on become mechanical engineer. Work in few different engineering fields that helped me to combined those fiels to become inventor. I have vast knowledge about many things and some of that technology will be driving force of future himans progress.❤🕊️🌍👌👍👏
Yeah definitely made stand by me look easy , I actually had that looper pedal and sold it on , sorry I did now ,but I'm looking at the ed Sheeran + dual pedal now ,I would like to some night perform stand by me on stage without the backing track and do as you and build the backing myself , looking into the looping pedals , I have the voice live 2 , but was going to also just buy a single ditto until I see the ditto x4 but honestly switches are too close , so over to you here, what do you suggest I purchase , don't say buy back the one I just sold lol, I just want straight forward easiness and playability no bells and whistles , ed Sheeran+ Im leaning towards what do you think ,because I want to do verse and chorus , I'm stuck, even though I also have the Digitech Rp360 which also has a looper , help !! Please , I'm definitely going to watch more of your videos ,keep up the excellent work
Hey Lee Dave here, not the one mentioned in Sir Pauls When I'm 64. So I've been watching reviews(dozens) with regard to that guitar and have NOT seen ANY using the software interface on the Iphone! Thanks for that. That's quite a feature & gets me closer to maybe buying one.Thanks again man,hope to see you in the USA during your World Tour. Play every day.I subscribed.
Good review! Thank you. This was very helpfull. Also if you unplugged it to see if it stores the loops!
nice cover, please try to show more the chords during the video it help the beginners :)
biblical!!!
Great job!
Big question: i have bought the rc 500 inspired by this video. However when I want to activate track 1 (the melody and bass) it starts on the wrong part.. cause of the structure of the song?
Yes! It is because there's a 2 bar break before the chorus, so your bass will start on bar 3. That's why I stop both tracks before launching into the chorus. It resets everything back to the beginning. On the RC-500, I recommend getting the FS-5U and connecting it to the external footswitch input. You can assign it to start/stop both tracks together
I much rather like this kind of acoustic covers rather than the original version full of edition and that unnecessary orchestra
Is it possible to put the volume and expression pedal blocks at different places in the signal chain?
Yes, you can move the blocks around freely
Thanks. I am 68 and started learning to play electric guitar April 25, 2023. Up to now it has been Me working the Gain and Volume against one another. I like the effect when you know,! It gets the added harmonic I am a quick study and encourage you to view the oldest beginner rock guitarist.NOW I am amazed at the amount of knowledge you have about voicings. Will check out some of your other videos and see what else I can learn from Any advice?
Brilliant mate 👏🏻
Thanks man! amazing!
Thank you for such a simple breakdown
That sounds amazing!! I absolutely LOVE your loop tutorials for Ed Sheeran 👌
Absolutely beautiful job with that song!! It's inspired me to learn it myself
Im so happy you have the capo on the first fret. That redroom video is deceiving as hell... not to mention. Also took me years to realize he has published the song in 2-3 different tempos.
Can I use it with my acoustic guitar ???
Yes, if you're playing through an amp or PA system
@@leetownsend Thank u sir
Awsome dude, respect
Can we connect a keyboard, a acoustic guiatar and mic to rc 500 loop pedal at a same time ?? Please answer.. its urgent
Download the manual for urgent, but yes, L&R inputs + xlr in. I think they can all be active at input at the same time.
Can we connect a keyboard, an acoustic guitar and a mic .. 2 instruments and 1 mic at same time to rc 500 loop pedal ??? Please answer I couldn't find a source which could tell ??

So much talent and very refreshing. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to checking out more of your content. Take care.
Great job and I really enjoyed your performance. Refreshing. Take care and keep on rocking the blues.
Stellar video and thanks for sharing. I love layering loops too.
Lava me = wash me in Portuguese 😂
😂 I hadn't even thought of that!
had to come back, so good Lee
Do you get all the same effects as the lava me 4 with the update?
Insanely good 😂
My new lava 3 is on an infinite loop downloading version 2.1.3. I can’t get past the ‘to install the update, please charge to 40%’ I’m plugged in at 54%. Any tips?
Enjoy the music and support my nephew. I am subscribed I think?
wich is best?? The lava me 4 spruce or the lava me 4 fiber carbon???
I don't have the 4 carbon, only the 3 carbon and 4 spruce, so I can't say with any level of certainty
You are good man!!!
Appreciate you man!
Can I ask you what pickup you are using. You have great tone.
Sure! It's actually a combination of the built-in piezo in my Taylor and an LR Baggs M1 Active, which is a magnetic soundhole pickup
Needs to break 100 likes this month!
Really good 👍
I love it!! Thank you so much!!!
Very nice sir
This is beautiful
