Welcome! Originals & Covers, Live Performance Clips, Guitar Lessons...
Guitarist from the UK lucky to have played in all kinds of bands since I was a teenager, most recently in the Far East Band from 2002 until 2008, backing German reggae artist Gentleman worldwide.
Nowadays I have more time to record originals and covers at home, just for fun, as I have for around 30 years. The challenge is that I still record old school to analogue tape, playing everything myself, without using any computer software or editing.
I've also put together some simple guitar lessons here to get you guys started, without the need for a lot of theory.

My favorite early 80s band.
Mr. Pass is fantastic! My favorite, for sure 🙏🏻 sure thanks for sharing this video, mate! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hey @salvincent! He is indeed! Glad you like the vid, glad I kept it all these years!
James Honeyman-Scott is perfect
I wouldn't go as far as to say that @teff908, but he certainly had a unique and wonderful style and sound...saw them in 1980 and he blew me away...
I was the 83rd like it should be 83 billion
Class of 82 this band was absolutely stunning
Thank you Pete for these legendary uploads, much love and respect
Hey @ReggaeBeatsPROD! I was blessed to be a part of Gentleman''s band for 8 years and did my best to document it with photos and audio/video recordings. I collected FOH mixing desk recordings from gigs (lots at my Mixcloud/Soundcloud pages - links in bio) and TV companies often gave us a video copy of the show they'd broadcast, and I always grabbed it and stashed it in my archive. Also set my video at home to record shows while I was away on tour. So glad I did now, and that I've been able to convert them for UA-cam so everyone can enjoy them! Quite a few complete shows here in the Live Bands playlist, as you've probably seen. I've uploaded pretty much everything I have with Gentleman now. You might also enjoy the Five Minutes Of Fame compilations - some magic moments! Please spread the word, ask people to subscribe and share my channel! Cheers!
I can really appreciate Joe's skills as they are off the charts. Glad to see he defeated his early life's demons. RIP
He was very mad at the sound!😮 mad good drumming on common ppl. ❤ stage banter on point.
I was there @RB-oz1mm and played that venue 5 years later! Pulp didn't have in-ear monitoring, like most people back then they were using conventional monitor wedge speakers. Jarvis often got too near them and dangled his mike too low, causing feedback squeals. Hard on the FOH sound tech, who would have been their guy...
Greetings from next door!
Hey neighbour!! Hi Manuela! Have subscribed to your channel (very cool) and put it in my featured channels! Liebe Grüße!
That guitar is almost as big as he is. Not as big as his amazing talent
It was an Ibanez JP20, his signature model, but with the brand name taped off as by then he had signed a deal with Gibson/Epiphone. True about his talent...
Fantástico!!!
Mamma mia che genio. E' difficile il suo fraseggio, ma è bellissimo per le nostre orecchie .
Thank you for posting Pete! Keep blessing us with these memories! 🔥🔥🔥
Hey Scott, my pleasure! So glad I kept the recordings. They're a journey back to wonderful times for me too!
Wow, so glad I found your channel Pete, thank you for uploading all these concerts! This is a gold mine
Hey Dominik @ReggaeBeatsPROD! Delighted you've found my channel! Please spread the word/share! Back then in the days of music TV and video recorders I could set the timer to record the gigs that were broadcast and come home and watch them! TV stations like Germany's WDR often also gave us a VHS copy right after the gig, which we watched in the tour bus. I was always the one who grabbed and kept hold of the tapes and later DVDs, simply thinking I would be glad I did in years to come. I ended up with quite an archive of Gentleman gigs, but it wasn't until a couple of years ago that I got round to sifting through the footage and converting the best of it to mp4. An absolute joy to see that quite a few people are enjoying it now, and comments like yours are truly heartwarming! I also have a massive amount of audio only recordings. Lots of individual tracks at Soundcloud, but my Mixcloud page has several concerts in full...www.mixcloud.com/petefisher/ BTW Just subscribed to your channel, which looks very cool. I'll be checking out more!
Tóp e Gênial❤❤❤
Klasse! Danke
Hey Hans, freut mich, dass es Dir gefällt! Schau mal etwas von Gentleman & The Far East Band in meinem Live Bands Playlist um mich im Einsatz zu sehen!
@@Pete-Fisher Hallo Meister Fisher, es ist mir eine Ehre. Ich bin schon seit einiger Zeit stiller Verfolger. Habe dich auch mehrmals Live erlebt mit Gentleman und kenne natürlich auch die ganzen Live mitschnitte. Wir hatten dein Gitarrenspiel einfach damals total gefeiert auch die Solos (jetzt natürlich immernoch) usw. Ich wollte einfach mal Danke sagen.
Hey Hans, das ist ja mega cool! Ich fande es immer was besonders dass auf der Bühne Tilmann/Gentleman mich immer mit Namen vorgestellt hat und dass er mich ursprunglich dabei haben wollte um Solos zu spielen. Das war ein wahnsinnige wunderschöne Zeit. Schön dass Du dabei warst und mich auch jetzt in Close-Up erleben kannst!
Super!
Danke Hans!
Danke!
Hat Spaß gemacht, schön dass es Dir gefällt!
すごい…🎉
Glad you like it!
Very well presented and put together.
Thank you Barry, glad you enjoyed it - all those years of watching Blue Peter finally paid off! (here's a tuning I prepared earlier)...
That chugs along nicely, Mr F. Nice guitar too. Interesting to have harmony vocals as well.
Well bless you Mr M., the ska guitar seems to work, and I must have found my flow that day, doing the lead stuff! Harmony adds a bit more hook I guess...
What a gem. This is history! Thanks for uploading this @pete-fisher!
You're welcome @jabbi24! It's part of my history, during my first summer festival season with Gentleman. I stayed on for 7 more years!! Lots more clips in my Live Bands playlist...
Nice one
Thank you Barry! You're most kind sir!!
Nicely done, Sir
Thank you kindly Barry! I had fun doing it!
Love this
Thank you so much Gail! I'm so glad you like it!
Genius
A very special band @lauratomas! Saw them in Norwich, UK in 1980, absolutely brilliant!
Hi, do you have a recording from this tour with the opener Gdynia?
Sorry, no I don't @bogumilewanczykart. That was 5 July 2008, two years after this gig. There are quite a few clips of Gdynia on UA-cam, this is one of them...ua-cam.com/video/kQgZKsfWtz0/v-deo.html
@@Pete-Fisher Thank you for your answer and for the concerts you share. have a great day
This IS music for the concert hall. We are fortunate to have had him and that this performance was preserved on video. I also like that he approaches his performance as a classical musician with humility and dignity, and absolute fidelity to his musical values.
I'm glad I kept the video and managed to digitise it @JoanthanRZeko! Joe is one of the nicest and the humblest guys, and this is him at the top of his game, no frills. This lesson is fabulous, even if you don't play guitar...ua-cam.com/video/J5wOdikpRu8/v-deo.html
My dear friend and mentor, Pepe Romero, played at Joe’s funeral.
Beautiful concert 😍
Thank you @e.d.c.7284! We really enjoyed it too! Switzerland was always a great audience!
@@Pete-Fisher I've been to minimum 15 concerts of Gentleman and the Far East. I love the love you're spreading around. It fullfills my heart every day.. It's an everlasting love to your music and lyrics. Please never stop making music. More love, more love, more love 💜💜. Never will I change the way how I feel about your music and your love! 💜💜
@e.d.c.7284 that's amazing! I did about 400 gigs around the world and played on two albums with Gentleman and the Far East Band from 2002 until 2008 - such an amazing time! He's still going strong with the Evolution backing him, but I love what we did with him best!
Dziękuję.
Nie ma za co!
A complete mockery of Pop music, when they say the greatest guitar players are Hendrix and Jeff Beck etc they want to listen to Joe Pass and realise they are deluded
I'm not a fan of lists or rankings...no-one is better or worse than anyone else, they all play entirely differently and it's purely a question of who you like best. However, Joe Pass is without doubt one of the most accomplished guitarists ever and a benchmark for all musicians, in particular aspiring guitarists. That's why I took the trouble to digitise this footage from a 30 year-old video and post it on my channel...around 16k people agree with you Chris!
Frissons garantis , vraiment les meilleurs

We are so lucky to have videos like this which enable us to enjoy and appreciate the skills and musicianship of one of THE great guitarists…..👍🍷
It's lucky that I happened to tape this 33 years ago and that I was able to digitise the VHS tape. Happy to share it with everyone...
From where I sit it’s worth years-to-decades of solitary practice and listening to every great version of these tunes one can get their hands on to even scratch the surface of being able to play as beautifully as Joe Pass did.
With you there @bbowjazz! This is well worth a look...ua-cam.com/video/J5wOdikpRu8/v-deo.html
holy 60 cycle hum JHS.
Когда великие и такие разные Holdsworth, Hackett и Metheny называют своего любимого гитариста - Joe Pass, понимаешь, что они не оригинальничают, не капризничают и не жеманятся, а искренне говорят правду.
A showcase for the late great James Honeyman Scott
I'm a huge fan of his too - the band was the perfect vehicle for his talents...
When George Benson basically states that Joe Pass was in a league all his own when he was interviewed by Rick Beato-that says it all. Joe Pass was a complete guitar wizard!
I saw them around this time, and it was one of the best concerts ever! The drum solo had milk? poured on the heads, and it was shooting up 10 feet into the air, superb solos showed an excellent, well practiced band. Finally I can relive it.
Saw then in Norwich in 1980 @richardtucker5686 - remember the spray off the drums in the spotlight! I was right up the front and reached out to shake Chrissie Hynde's hand!!

Hi Pete, can you tell me the name of the song on the War Riddim? 15:50 Thank you so much in advance
Hi @manuelmartin - not quite sure about the first 2 minutes, but it goes into A Who Dem Want Blame, from the first album, Trodin On...ua-cam.com/video/43ISI6cmFJw/v-deo.html
Hi Pete, thank you for the answer...what a pity bc I was looking exactly for the Song in the First 2 Minutes😅. Anyway, again thank you so much and keep on rocking💪🤘
Hi @@manuelmartin9254 I've looked in my archive and on a couple of cassettes from back then that medley is listed as Hungry Days/Who Dem Want Blame/Trodin On, so Hungry Days must be the title you're seeking. Not on any album, as far as I know...
Bravo Joe ❤👏👏👏
Amazing
Das war mein zweites chiemsee reggae summer 😊 danke für die schöne Erinnerung ❤
Das war mein erstes, aber ich spielte da mit G + Far East Band noch fünfmal! Sehr schoner Festival!
Omg this is gold
Thank you so much!
Just like the good old times, loved it, thank you
Thank you my friend! I hoped it might take people back to Sly and all those backbeat tunes!
The GOAT
THE (!!) GOAT!
What a great band. NIce guitar, Pete😜
Thank you kindly Barry! The first line-up that first year was great, and we'd just done about 50 gigs in 3 months, so it was well tight! We got a new keyboard player in 2003 and then an extra lady backing singer in 2004, so it just got better!
Hynde is a genius. She put this group together. These 4 fit together perfectly. Their first two albums with this original lineup are pure rock gold...40+ years later, they still sound fresh!
