You should turn this show into the Top Gear of guitars. Just an idea. Use the format of what Top Gear use. Have guests. Travel places- Historical guitars, music etc.; Do what James May, Clarkson and Hammond do in Top Gear, just with guitars as the theme. You two guys are awesome and i really think your personalities are perfect for a Top-Gear esk show. You already kinda do it with your review/fun events style format. You should just make the episodes longer and more premium. Think of some grand ideas and do them! For example as an idea, Travel to tennessee and discover the historical aspects of the music industry there. In between (like top gear), demo new guitars like you do now, in your studio (like top gear). Have Guests. The more your show grows, you will get more prestige guests. It will really make this show exciting and move towards the mainstream. There is such a huge audience for this! This could be the hub for guitarists, the main place to go to get the latest news in the guitar industry but in an entertaining way! where you can kick back and relax. You guys basically have it, i just think you need to conceptualise the shows a bit more. Organise the format a bit. Do a series. "Cap and Chappers: Series 1, episode 3"?? You can always keep doing what you're doing in between shows, but the main thing for your channel should be this show in my opinion.
You already have the community and all the right vibes that come with it, so build it. Make a format for these shows. Take these "low budget youtube shows" and turn them into full TV programs. It not like you don't have the money or brains between you. Think, theres such a huge audience for this show! You already have the fun factor between you both, you have the products to sell. With some good thinking, you guys could make something great!
I just can't wait to see "Cap and Chappers" in Texas or something, shooting guitars or whatever (Lol, i dont have a good idea on hand. If i think of one, i'll comment it on here.). Cap and Chappers Build a Guitar? Cap and Chappers Find the worlds most bizarre guitars-Most expensive-Most beautiful. IDK. But some greater minds than my own could probably think of some great things!!
Just imagine watching Cap and Chappers play acoustically together in like a really beautiful place on earth, say Yosemte in california. OMG! It would be beautiful to watch. Or! Even in a really beautiful place in the UK! PLay guitar at Stone Henge ot something :) I think you both already have a strong connection when you play and so being in Yosemite or somewhere nice or musically rich would just bring out some great music for this show. if you record a simple acoustic session in a place like that, it would just be great TV! like imagine the different vibes that would come from your music!
You could use it to promote Dorje too! Add live performances to it maybe. Have a weekly music feature/highlight where one of your favourite new artists play a ten minute set at the end (@ say 45:00in). give something to our music culture in the UK!!
Ohh, the bigger better format would mean.. More viewers, a closer tv like direction heading towards the mainstream which means more customers for the shop, for your guitar company, chapman Guitars. More $$$ which in return can be pumped back into making this show bigger and better in everyway!
Ps. "Cap and Chappers"
You want them to take on a 3rd member of the cast (presumably a lot shorter) start to hate each other and then start acting up to what they perceive is their public persona and become crap insulting as many foreign nations as possible on the way?
I was thinking that they reminded me of Top Gear also
Can't agree more with you on the Top Gear thing... that much I read (sorry for that). Also have to mention that Captains playing has improved ALOT! (maybe its about having the confidence to play your best) But anyway I really like these vids and have been watching them for so many items I have bought to get an idea whats the thing for me. Keep it up!
Ye the idea is actually nice but Chapman got his band tours and Chapman guitars to run, and the Cap has Anderton's to run, I don't know if they'd have the time.
pretty good idea this is like andretons top gear though
When I'm not in the mood to practice guitar I just watch one of these reviews and am instantly inspired
Same here
Taner Bulbul same
Taner Bulbul Same here
Am I the only one that just doesn't like circle dot inlays on gibson or epiphone guitars ? they just look much better with block or trapezoid inlays
+thomas chambers same here. the g400 version has the trap inlays but for more $$$
that's why they sell them with different prices
I like dots with binding, like on the 60s SG Specials
I do only if they come with p90's
kinda sucks how the sgs got the "les paul 100" logo on their headstocks
seriously the logo looks lame as shit and doesn't even look good on the les paul
I totally agree with you!
If you're going to honou him, add a little '100' to the proper logo, don't mess with it, no matter how authentic it is to the man, because to the guitar, it isn't authentic
Deathrape2001 I doubt it, the logos are the same in terms of material and application - they are both decals, neither are inlays. So they'll be pretty much the same cost.
Edit:
In fact, they'd probably lose money in paying their R+D department to create the new logo and print the decals, instead of just using the old ones they would have had lying around.
looks like a 5 year old with arthritis was given a golden crayon and scribbled that logo on.
Hacked Tutorials That's just how every guitarist signs their name.
Source: I'm a guitarist with a really shitty signature.
Huge fan your videos, guys!! Love the tastiness of the Captain's playing, and shred beast that Chappers can unleash at his will... Good stuff!
Just got to say that although not technically brilliant, Lee Anderton is a fantastic blues guitarist with such a good ear for nice sound. He has a great a sense of time and position when making his simple but effective improv solos. You could go as far and say that Lee makes more pleasant sounding music than Rob when it comes to improvisation, in my opinion. Also, what a cool pair of guys! Genuinely nice people as well as genuine, authentic musicians!
I love how they put positional audio on their videos. Nice touch.
Needed more ACDC songs in this review xD
And sabbath xD
+jynxx'd and cream
+jynxx'd +Seth B and Zappa
Agreed. I they'd stop playing that same rift that they play over and over again. AC/DC all the way
Gibson SG, Marshal JCM 800 and AC/DC riffs... Who could hate on this video! :D
Lee has progressed so much! WOW.. Respect to you bro :)
Let me preface this by saying I'm a big fan, and have been watching for a few years now. However, I can't help but notice that your videos have slowly evolved from the two of you goofing around, telling anecdotes, and presumably being yourselves, to what is seemingly rushing through the videos to get done. I think what made the two of you so endearing was the personal touch, giving us all a peek into your lives, and also that watching your videos felt like you were just having a hang with a few buddies that loved gear as much as yourself. Now it seems as if it's "Here is this guitar, a few sounds, and if you want to know more, go watch our other video on it". I'm sure that you all are extremely busy with the success of Chapman Guitars (big congrats!), and the continued growth of Anderton's, but I'm sure that I'm not alone when I say that I would love to see more videos that aren't just trying to sell something and move on to the next product. We know that selling gear is your livelihood, and ultimately the purpose of the videos. However, I believe that your comradery, approachability and natural gregariousness were the original catalyst for your youtube success, and a platform I'm sure a lot of us would like to see both of you return to. Love what you do and hope for the continued success of Anderton's and exponential growth for Chapman Guitars.
Cheers!
I agree completely. I think the biggest reason for the rushing vibe is because they do all of the videos for a whole month one right after the other for two days in a row. It does feel less personal than it did before and I kind of miss seeing Lee's old white Strat, but at least the format they're using is still pretty informative about the products. Personally, I would rather see fewer but longer videos like they used to be where they go off on tangents and such.
I agree with Brandon and Sugarwolf totally... AND.... Rob, please burn that damn shirt or ask the viewers for donations for the Salvation Army thrift store for a new T-shirt.
They just need to inject a bottle of Jack Daniels into the Videos again. That will liven things back up!
Avalanche1368
Since they usually shoot about 3 videos in a day, that will let us track the order of the videos far more easily:
1) The bottle is full and they are sober.
2) The bottle is down halfway and they are looking a bit wobbly.
3) The bottle is empty, the Captain has been sick down the back of a Marshall cab and Chappers has forgotten how to play guitar.
Well put!
SG.. The tool used to create Heavy Metal !!! No other guitar will ever have that title !! \m/
The tool used to create anything with distortion?
Robbie Height It can be argued that because Led Zeppelin were some of the first pioneers of heavy metal, the Les Paul was actually the first guitar associated with that hard rock/metal sound. Or even the telecaster as Page liked to use them too. The SG really surfaced in hard rock music when Black Sabbath got popular, around 1970
I'd say Pete Townshend The Who, Eric Clapton Cream, George Harrison Beatles all '67-'68 is when SG got popular.
I've tested the waters of your channel. This video made me a fan. Cheers.
You guys just killed it at the end.
man i just wish i could have every single guitar ever made!!
ill be in heaven
AY media Man, My first guitar was so Bad, I buyed the guitar + amp for 25€ on eBay, you dont want To play on this😂
lee killing it at 13:30 , well done, nice review
That last jam sounded incredible! The Capt and Rob should do an EP of their jam sessions! 😝
All the little jam sessions in this video are fantastic! You guys should make an album with jams only... You can call it "Cap&Chap"
Chappers your TONE is insane in this Video!! Very Nice :)) and there is something special about an SG through a HRD Captain
Very nice tones.Great video as always.
You guys are amazing! Cheers from Denmark!
I love my 2012 model SG standard! Love the feel and the tone! :)
I saw what you just did. You almost made me want an SG! Very clever.
That solo the captain plays around 4:15 is very good - the best I recall him playing - short but tasty!
really loved that first jam, was very cool
You know what's interesting to me... Lee's playing has gotten 1 million times better than when I first started watching these reviews a year or two ago. Bravo!
Great playing on that Standard Captain!
Awesome jam in the beginning. The licks at 00:52-1:00 is gold.
I swear to Bob you guys need to just put out a jam cd for guitarists to play along with for maybe 4 quid
Absolutely love when you guys jam together
I love SG's! Nice video Chappers!! :)
Great video. I have a 2007 SG Faded, I bought new in Virginia Beach VA, Guitar Center.. Love it over all . Sold my Les Paul Custom. I play very little, Not is a band though.Blues, Rock and very little country. I am just above a beginner guitarist, self taught.Keep up the videos. Great info.
Very nice jam! Captain really nailed it! Reminds me a bit of this used to be finnish band Kolmas nainen.
Man, thats what i call TONE! I enjoyed chappers playing more here than in others vidoes
You & the Captain can really rock & groove on those Gibson SGs! Might get one one day!
Captain that last riff at the end you were playing with Chappers was soulful good!
I've never been an SG fan but I was able to play the 2015 Standard and for me and my average size hands there is just something so playable about the wider neck; the SG felt perfect in my hands. Beats me why this is but it's just my experience.
Love the review. Please keep the 2015 Gibsons coming when you have them please. Especially the es series (I may have asked that on the Lp jr one too)
SG's are amazing i have a 2007 epiphone standard cherry red it shreds. Good review guys rock on! 🎸
It's got tone-age and body! Signature sound. Thanks guys always great vids!
I just bought a used 2015 mint condition standard for a decent price. I was skeptical about the gforce tuner because I am kind of a "purist". It works so well and with the splitting coils, raisable nut, and wider neck it is definitely the most fun of my guitars to play. Sounds so good it made me a believer.
LOVE the new nut.. makes them adjustable from both ends.. such WICKED sweet low buzz free action.. AND the G-Force tuning system ROCKS!!
Just a quick touch and it zips back into perfect tune..hassle free..and 500% quicker and easier than doing it manually! Wide neck is a bit much but I love this guitar more than any I've ever had!
11:33 even though you guys had been going a long time by this point, you can still see how much the video quality has improved in a year. dat focus
The Cpt part was really cool at the end
Nice ! Thx Rob & Captn
That's basically my rig. '62 reissue SG, few to no pedals right into a Fender amp in my case. Great classic sound, control the dirt with my fingers and the guitar volume pot. I got mine for the neck and the Sound. The neck is like a great pair of legs... they go all the way up... '62 has that thin wide neck with the very streamlined almost non-existent heel. I love it. Great for bottleneck too.
About time!!!
Ooooh, that was fenomenal solo at the end cap10!
Thank you for posting a video. I need to restore the electronics on mine, a 1968 SG with tremolo.
Great solo at the end Cap!
Cheers mate
CaptAnderton That was some of the best, most melodic playing I've heard from you. You're definitely improving!
Badass ending! :)
Rob I am 13 and I love the ML2! Thanks!
Things that suck about Gibson 2015:
Wider Neck
Headstock Inscription
Brass Nut
Tuning System
They want the traditionalists (so every gibson fan pretty much) to shell out to go custom. I bet there have been boardroom meetings about this.
It's called innovation, and most of these things are improvements. Brass nut makes it slightly brighter, the tuner is easier than using even a foot tuner and there has been a massive improvement to quality. Stop being an old person from the old times and get with the new times.
I would just re-phrase that as "things you don't like...." which is cool, but a lot of people are liking the new features.
Artemis Bumwhistle that is exactly what the guys were saying when they came up with the new Coca-Cola idea and dumped the Number 1 selling classic formula.How did that work out? If you have something great why mess with it.
"Things that are fucking awesome about the 2015 Gibson lineup"
You're welcome
the playing of the captain was absolutely brilliant !
You guys should make a video where you just do some sweet jamming. I really enjoy the little bits in between when you guys are just playing. You could pick a couple guitars, maybe a couple pedals and just jam for the rest of the video. That would be wicked!!
Something about that SG really suits Captain!! Like I've never really seen you play as well on a video as with a SG, seriously like a duck in water, especially when you added a bit of grit :)
Cheers mate - another guitar to add to the shopping list!
Great video guys :D
I didn's see if anyone commented on the song in the begining- Overkill by Men at Work. Love that song. Also- Capt you just get better and better!
That special sounds, special.
I really like the jam at the end.
love the end riff
Rockin' solo Lee!
Love that tone capt10
probably the best i have heard the captain play
My SG is almost permanently set to the neck pickup lol.... love the sound.
I believe you when you say you write ur own riffs but this is the one time that I think I heard that riff before. It's born to be wild
Awesome Demo!!!! I aint never gonna diiiiiie!
This video really makes me want to buy this guitar...!!!!
who would think that it would take an SG to wake the captain up. Love his playing in this one!
I actually just ordered an Epiphone G-400 SG Ltd. Edition in Silverburst. They usually retailed for 350-400 USD, but got my used for 189.99 USD.
I know 7 Les Paul 2015 players who've had to replace the brass nuts within months due to extreme wear and actual flaking. Gibson did honor all of them and sent titanium replacements...haven't heard any updates.
I could listen to you 2 jam forever
dynamic duo,,,perfect
Ok, so bought my first Gibson. It's the 2015 SG Special that no one apparently like so...............what the hell..... I like it.
Love the wide neck, Like the O fret nut,,, tuner is...........not so cool but what the helll. Think it's good that they took a step to new tech. this may not be the one but they tried. Much better as an option than force feeding. Should improve with time.
So I'm loving mine. Will most likely change the tuners but so far I can live with it.
Can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would worry about the inscription, or the hologram. Kinda non issues to me. I can certainly understand why some would not like the extra width on the neck. For me it's a good thing but again I can see why others would not like it.
Nice review.
S Hogan yup I have a 2015 SG standard, I won’t deny that the neck is defiantly wider but it still does feel great with a slim taper radius. I also have a 2016 slim taper profile les Paul and I always go for my SG to play.
Man...the past couple videos have seen some excellent lead playing from The Captain...
I really dig hearing Lee play the lead stuff when they jam. Don't get me wrong, both guys are great and Chappers is a crazy good guitar player, I just like the Capt's style more
That new SG standard sounded beautiful with the Marshall ;-)
The guitar I learned on is an Epiphone SG and I'm saving up for a Gibson SG. I love the look of the Les Paul but the necks are so hard to play. I love my SG.
I really dig the captains playing in this one, but chapters always seems to get the better tone IMO
What song are you guys playing? Nice!! I love the reviews you guys do. Thank you.
I love SG's because they're like Les Pauls (of which I love the tone) but that I also love to play (aside from the axcess). And yeah it takes a bit of getting used to the neck being an extra inch or two away
The Captain looks badass wielding an sg
Could you guys do a history of the les paul or strat or another type of guitar to show how much they've changed? Great video buy the way
Those blues licks that Chappers did were great (on the neck pickup 6:00)
I would love to see Rob play a Gibson Byrdland :-) Throw out some Nugent riffs and some clean jazz runs :-)
I have the 2014 SG standard, and it's awesome.. I would like to play with he brass nut to see how more versatile it is. I was very skeptical of the tuning system, but I've come to love it.. When playing live it's easy to push a. Button to get into tune or quickly change tuning is great. I'd even considered retro fitting my less Paul BFG with the min e-tune or newer system. Oh and by the way, huge fan of the vids.
Woah more innovation from Gibson! ...
Wow, that drive pedal the lee is using sounds amazing
Cheers Anakin - its called a Staxmaster - I think Yoda uses one - you should ask to try his.
very nice the red one at the end sounds like Billy Gibson's.
For me SG's only look good in red.
***** and they only look good with a pick guard as well
***** How about black? The black ones look great too (Tony Iommi used to play a beautiful black one with inverted crosses on the fretboard).
Reggae Fan Yeah I do like Tony's SG. He makes it look cool though!
I have a really rare 2006 white SG standard without coil taps and it looks fantastic! The white has slightly faded to a nice cream
Brown SGs turn me on. Only if the have a pick guard.
I've watched a heap of your videos guys! i aware you've done a music man one, but after recently visiting your website i've seen you have the music man majesty for sale and was wondering if you had it in stock and could to a review on that!
Only because you guys are the most honest when it comes to reviews and i feel ill get the best info on this from you guys !,,! keep it up guys !
Rob, what kind of strap are you using? Brand? etc. I rlly like it
I love an SG as well.
The SG's and Les Paul's sound incredible through that Fender. Surprisingly lol
How is this surprising
I love my 2008 SG Special. Super love it. No gloss, just that lovely oil sorta finish. Got a Warpig in the bridge, but I am thinking of going Seymour Duncan when I have the money. Nazgul and Sentient. I am curious as to how they'll sound in my SG, as it has a mixed reputation with very heavy tones.
Quick question for Chappers or The Captain, regarding frets. I really did fall head over heels in love with my SG when I first played it, and I still view it as my favourite instrument, however if there were one thing I could change it would be for some extra jumbo frets. What are your opinions on refretting instruments? Especially ones you love the feel of, but want to improve that little bit more to bring it maybe a touch more in line with your tastes and desires?
Have a good one, chaps!
Chappers!! My next guitar is going to be a Chapman. The guitar shop I go to is very interested if getting your guitars. They are JamPro Music Factory in Reno, Nevada, USA. I just had them install some Seymour Duncan Alnico Slash pickups in my 2013 Gibson LPJ. I talked to them about Chapman Guitars when I dropped it off and when I went to pick up the guitar today they had done the research and are very interested in carrying your guitars. Way cool!!! I told them I will buy the first Chapman Guitar if they can do it. You should definitely call them and make that happen! Monkey Lord Minion signing out!
ES range of vids would be immense :-)
wow... i thought the other YT players were good but i could tell this guy is good right from a few secs of playing. dang. the difference in level is clear
these guys are youtubeplayers too, lol
Honestly, these reviews are getting massive. And hopefully! Someday soon! these guys will be joined by semi-gods the likes of Eric, Mark, Bruce, Slash, Bea ;-), Joe (Satriani? Bonemassa? either would do) to jam and round up these reference reviews of some great instruments.
Just watched the greatest add ever for the hex Octavix pedal!! It's like 3 minutes long and I watched the whole thing hahaha!!
Captain i really like your watch ,is it a rolex? or does it just look like a rolex
Just wondering, how often do you use the splits? I've never had a guitar with them.
