      They've been called the Top Gear of guitars by quite a lot.
      What I love about the videos, especially the Chappers and Captain ones, is that while they're definitely just meant for fun on the surface, and they can definitely be enjoyed for that, they do still teach you about products and give great tips as well.

    I did try to put my name on the inside of Bea's mask (so you'd all remember my name lol) when I made it separately from the original pair but the vinyl absolutely wouldn't stick to the carbon fibre effect vinyl I used on the inside. The Bea blindfold had his face logo on the front. Still waiting to see it in action.

    List of (maybe) some good ideas:
    - Take a look a different guitar mods (put most amount of mods into a guitar to see what sounds best)
    - Choosing a Rig That Your Mate will love, but with stuff that he might not own/considered
    - (April Fools?) Crossovers like Peter and Rob doing 'Sound like' or Bea and Lee reviewing stuff. Or change places with 'That Pedal Show' or something
    - (April Fools?) Is it possible to profile a Miku?
    - Andertons 'Look like', or how is the best way to fake a Marshall stack or tips to relic your guitar, best leather clothes to match your favorite hair metal band
    - The Captain Helps People Buy a Rig, with some random customers
    - Captains meets ... and makes his guest uncomfortable by make them play with unusual setups
    - Find out what is what with different plectrum materials
    - You cannot have your amp around, what is the way to get your sound with whatever amp you can get: Clean channel + pedals, Fx loop + pedals, fx loop + preamp pedals, multi effects?
    - Make Chap, Lee, Bea, Pete learn the same solo, than make them play with same gear over the same backing track and see how the equipment reacts do the player. Maybe record the same thing with different amps and guitars
    - Deeper dive into Fishman Fluence Pickups
    - Does roasted necks really work? Let's find out by putting this guitar into the fridge.
    - Rob once said something about a Gibson that really inspires him to write music. Inspiring gear! Whatever puts a big smile on your face
    Whatever you do, never give up being stupid =D

    Miku is obvious. Two personal favorites are the gig bag test with prototype and reject Chapman guitars and perhaps the first Xmas special. Seeing the loaded bags drifted out second story windows was hilarious. The Christmas special I'm thinking of had the elves and Hannah confused presence for presents. :D

    I’ve just had a sick idea. You don’t have to pay me or give me credit. Just run with it,
    World Cup of guitars.
    Rounds from the major countries to decide which guitar represents that country, brands from that country.
    Then the countries compete.
    Guitarolympics.
    Better yet, you could have different weight classes, budget, mid range, expensive.
    You could do ones for bases and acoustics too.
    Just a thought. 👌🏼

  • @Knifeawatermelon

    About a year and a half ago, I was depressed and struggling to find meaning in my life. I liked music, and it helped a bit, but my only way to play music at the time was the trombone in school, which is still fun, but it wasn’t what I needed to fill the void. Since I was a lover of music, I followed a few music channels on UA-cam. Then, one day, on my feed, UA-cam recommended me a Chappers and the Captain video. I watched video after video all night. It got me hooked on wanting to play guitar 🎸. A few months later, I begged my parents for a guitar for Christmas. I finally got a guitar on Christmas Day, 2017 and started learning. I’m almost a year in now and I’ve made great progress. Playing guitar has brought an immense feeling of meaning and purpose into my life, and I never would have picked up the instrument if it weren’t for Rob Chapman and Lee Anderton. Words cannot express how grateful I am for you guys.

    As someone that researches most purchases before I buy.
    And as someone who loves Steve Vai/Joe Satriani/Eric Johnson types of guitar players. And who found Anderton's after looking up Steve Vai Bee Keeper video (His son posted a vid with his hives that I thought was cool) and happened to see Andertons channel in the sidebar I think the video I discovered first was "The Captain meets Paul Gilbert" (Who is another Player I like a lot).
    I want to say thanks for the informative vids. I am not able to get out as much as I like and channels like this help to sort thru a lot of fluff. And while I am in the U.S. I want to say that I definitely use Andertons vids as a shopping references. So any brands that make it in Andertons vids take note. Even if you do not or cannot shop Andertons, they do a lot of advertising thru this channel.

    Absolutely, the only reason I even know who Andertons is, is these videos. It might not convert to sales directly but the brand awareness is huge. I am in Australia and I bought a Variax from you because I thought, "I wonder what deal they can do. I'll give them a shot". It worked out only slightly cheaper than I could have bought it here in Australia because of import duty but the guitar arrived in my hands within 10 days of ordering it and I've not had any problems with it so I'm well happy. Now our GST laws have changed so it doesn't work out quite so cost effective these days. Still watch your videos though.

    I first stumbled on Rob's channel about three years ago when I first started learning to play guitar (I think it was a video he did with "hacks" for doing fun stuff on the guitar, like using a bottle or a screwdriver across the strings to make cool sounds). I immediately resonated with Rob's totally silly personality and started binge watching all his other videos, which of course led me to the ones with Lee (back when they were all still on Rob's channel), and I've been hooked on all the Chappers & the Captain videos ever since. Oh, and I also now own a Chapman ML1 Pro Modern (still working on that whole "learn how to play guitar" thing, though :-P ).
    My favorite video is by far the Miku video. I watched that one at work, and I was laughing so hard the whole time I just knew my boss was going to come in at any moment wondering why he was paying me to giggle loudly like an crazy person. :-P
