I honestly couldn't believe it when I discovered that. I've watched this part over and over again and still can't see the joint where the guitarist sticks his hands through to play the guitar while Craig has his arms hidden behind his back.
Didn’t they ask Brian May (his then girlfriend Anita Dobson was in this episode), but he couldn’t do it. So as you say, Phil Manzanera wound up doing it instead?
For a show made in the early 1990s there are some great special effects here. The "split" between the two Craig's isn't a straight line, so I've still no idea how they did that shot at 0:17.
The apples leave the top of the frame. The one on the right takes just a smidge longer to reappear that it should. That’s when the cut between shots happens. Also, the bit where list “trims” his toe nails, you can see the split shot. The back rest of the chair on the left remains stationary even though the chair moves.
the guitar bit is like all of us, how we sound to ourselves when we talk and how we sound to others. i sound like dan lafontaine to me, but like bad dan rather to others
You’re not wrong there! Seen Thurston Moore play like that 10ft away from me & he’s a total mix of brilliant and completely avant garde I’m sure he knows where that golden note is but I’m not sure the audience get it! 😂
0:47 I love real Lister’s face here. He looks at the guitar playing like “yeah.. this is exactly how I play it “ 😂
More like "I'm better" because if that was exactly how he played, he'd be under stress to be more convincing.
The actual guitarist was Phil Manzanera from Roxy Music, he was hiding behind Craig Charles with his arms round the front.
But what we're all wanting to know is who is playing when it's the real Lister's turn... ;)

@@garethhayes2552 that's right, I can't remember why they couldn't get him though, maybe he was just busy or something
Lister: How'd you know that wasn't me?
Cat: 'Cos that dude could play!
The fact he actually asks “what’s the difference?” 😂😂
"I resent this... I resent the way you saved me life!"
.........errr, where's it gone? :/
ahhh thats it ...im off to watch the whole of season 6 :P
My favourite series of them all. If this isn't the best series, kryten doesn't have a head shaped like an amusing ice cube.
6 is the best. love it
@@BloodAngel500, fifth and sixth are on par. The fifth had Back to Reality, an amazing episode.
@@SagaciousFrank five is really good too
This literally popped into my head now for some reason!!!!😅

"'.....cuz that dude could play!" - LMFAO!!!!!
that's a genuine Les Paul copy!
hahaha a genuine copy i like.
@@personontheinternet6525 made of genuine Camphor Wood.....
best scene ever!
@beano1eye I know its only got 5 strings.... and 3 of them are G
0:58 Kryten and Cat do Unreal Tournament.
1:20 in all fairness I have heard weirder Avant Garde compositions
The bit where actual Lister plays. Makes me lose it every time.
Also spot Rimmer covering his ears just off camera!
"Tone-deaf, talentless noise polluter."
lol.
........and ten-thumbed, too! ^_^
You seriously saying he could play better than me?! *plays guitar VERY badly* what’s the difference?
But what if Psiren had played a perfect rendition of a classic Smeg and the Heads tune known as 'Om'?
The real Lister can play the guitar better than me
Lister has a different guitar in every episode. X>D
Rimmer keep ordering Kryten to destroy them, so Lister keeps a stash of guitars they've looted from Red Dwarf and various derelicts.
They tried to get Brian May (Queen's lead guitarist) to do that part, but he was unavailable.
Love the survival tip, if you suck he'll warn you, if you're good he'll shoot you.
0:28 I feel called out.
0:54 LOL
1:31
Realister almost played the Buddy Holly lick lol.
1:19
I also love the fact that Craig actually can play.
That weren't his hands, I'm afraid :)
@@DuetOjciecisyn Not here, but in real life he can play.
Surprised Kryten and Cat didn't shoot Lister's guitar while shooting the Psiren, especially as Cat breaks it a few episodes later lol
They don't shoot Lister's guitar. Because, it isn't the guitars fault. 😂
@@KattD. Just like it isn't the guitar's fault when Starbug crashes in "Emohawk". And again, that didn't stop Cat from breaking it then lol

0:41 this is what Corey Feldman thinks he's playing, 1:20 but this is what we heard. Listers is actually better 😊
@Bact2TheSofa
Is it weird that I think that the real Lister was better than the siren?
Not to Lister. The 'Real' one.
nah bro the one clipper o clippette od the midge playin bossa nova on a classical layin doen on a table
I like Kryten's blaster pistol.
Who else came here from SorrowTV's video on r/delusionalartists? 😂
Me.
@@augustmixon4210 welcome :3
@@andreapadilla4859 thanks!
Same
Omg ya 😂
lol, Cat just called himself a man.
They knew it wasn't Lister because Lister can't play guitar.
Just watch the clip!
Well yes, that's a big part of the joke.
Funny thing is in the newer series he can actually play, and plays with Hitler
His playing in the earlier series is alright as well. They just decided in s6 to make it a running gag that he was shit but thought he was amazing.
The Psiren could play better then lister lol
Of course lister can't play tHe guitar that what i hate about lister
In all fairness, the real Lister's playing doesn't sound all that dissimilar to...let's say...100% by Sonic Youth.
You’re not wrong there! Seen Thurston Moore play like that 10ft away from me & he’s a total mix of brilliant and completely avant garde
I’m sure he knows where that golden note is but I’m not sure the audience get it! 😂
Trim your toenails 🤢🤮
