Hey matt, oh absolutely I'll get rid of those... They are pride of place in my collection and represent a wonderful period in my life, they are very very special to me... I hope you're still enjoying your semi-hollow axis too. All the best 👍🎸🙏
I was watching this on TV and had to grab my phone so I could say... That was Awesome! Funny in the best way... And great playing as always! Thanks for brightening our morning!
Another proof for any guitar player that the most important thing is your playing skills and not what kind of guitar, wood, finish, pickups, strings etc. you have, by listening to this video with eyes closed most people won't even notice when he switches guitars, he could have played a cheap no-name guitar and have sounded great anyway
I loved this idea hahah! Although it was a little anxiety-inducing to watch you frantically grab one guitar while stepping over others! D: Still though, well done!
Alex, I appreciate how much you challenge yourself! Better bloke than me! Completely different subject: are you doing much studio work these days? It seems to me that many artists would benefit from your talents. If so, I would love to hear about it, i.e., support those who are supporting you. And one can never hear enough AH of course! ;-) Cheers mate and have a great weekend!
I thought all of the Tele & strat type guitars sounded the best... The Frank Gambale probably sounded the best out of the double humbucker guitars, the pickups sounded more transparent
The tele has a beautiful sound but due to Teles and the way they are built are limited in tonal variations. The FG model seems to have it all! Hands down 80’s quality and tones , and the Ol’ black strat kicks their butts in so many ways! Bravo Alex cheers mate
This is fun, love your playing. I don't normally like fusiony sounding runs but when you do it, it's great and you insert just right amount of hairiness to make it sound exciting.
Always great Mr Hutchings,but here very impressive,your playing is perfection,and your sense of music and improv'!!!!!WhaOow!!! you are a great between the greats! best regards from Reunion Island.
The first time I saw you was with Yamaha Pacifica. Still love that sound. Hope you make more video with that one. Love this video. Many thing I can learn from this. Your lick your sound. Thank you for always inspiring me.
That was insane, Alex. It always boggles my mind how your improvised playing is better than 99% of the composed solos from other guitarists. A true master of the instrument and a musician's musician. To add to the excitement, the way you swapped from one guitar to the next was anxiety-inducing. I keep thinking you're gonna accidentally knock one into another or drop one accidentally. Some people wouldn't worry about that because they feel instruments are meant to be played and a ding or scratch here and there is expected and adds to the history of the gear. But folks in the other camp would FREAK OUT when that happens, because they tend to buy/sell gear constantly, and any blemish that might devalue the gear and lose them money when selling, would be bad.
Thank you mate... You're too kind.. Well I did another take but on a different track and I'm pretty sure I used all 10..plus some of them actually did fall over.....🙈 Will have to upload at some point, if you think you could stomach it....😂👍🎸🙏
Hahah Hey Jakub, you remembered....Yes I have it back!! Thank you... I'm so pleased it sits proudly on my wall where it belongs... Maybe I should do a jem Edition? All the very best 👍🎸🙏
@@AlexHutchingsMusic That's great to hear, I ended up buying two of these as well, gorgeous axes. And yes, that's a great idea! It'd be great to watch. Have a great year Alex!
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Absolutely! Is it a G & B bender? I've heard Jimmy Olander or Brad Paisley using these contraptions, but i'd totally love to hear someone with your stylistic background make sense of it. Thumbs up.
Thank you bro.... No no splices here....😂 not my style... Glad you enjoyed it... Maybe it should be a challenge we set for others? All the very best 👍🎸🙏
Alexhutchingsmusic please do the same but with different amps! You are a monater of a guitarist. Please make a tour here in US. You are on my Top 3 favorite list together with Greg Howe and Gambale
Love this idea. Could do 8 of'em all plugged in and switched between with an ES-8 (or 9 guitars if the volume loop is also used) might be quicker change over. I dont think I have that many cables even.
Yes mate, I'm sure I could find a more efficient way of doing it, which I'll have to try with more time... I kind of enjoyed the randomness of trying this way.... But yes I'll have to get on Amazon and by some more cables myself😂 👍🎸🙏
Wooow 😳 !!! Much suffering, man. Made by you everything makes sense. Everybody loves seeing you playing the guitar... Can you imagine 10 at the same time? A big hug Master Alex Hutchings ! ! !
Lady’s and gents…. the undeniable Alex Hutchings!!!…I for one have NEVER seen anyone else do that…I suspect because it’s REALLY hard to do!!! Thanks and much love as always Alex 👍🎸💥😘
Hello mate, thanks man, well it started out as a silly idea a I just went for it, I'm sure plenty of people could do it but, I would also like to see it... It's certainly a challenge... I'm glad you enjoyed it mate. ;-) 👍🎸🙏
Thank you mate, Yes I know I just realised I missed that one too... Well I have another take on another vid where I'm sure I play all 10. Will upload soon All the best 👍🎸🙏
Darn glad to see you still have your Axis after all these years, they're amazing instruments -- you're the reason I got my semi-hollow Axis!
Hey matt, oh absolutely I'll get rid of those... They are pride of place in my collection and represent a wonderful period in my life, they are very very special to me... I hope you're still enjoying your semi-hollow axis too. All the best 👍🎸🙏
Crazy challenge, but you mastered it! 👍
Thank you mate. 👍🎸🙏
surelly is a new kind of training, combine staiyng in shape and playing our beloved guitars at the same time.
I was watching this on TV and had to grab my phone so I could say... That was Awesome! Funny in the best way... And great playing as always! Thanks for brightening our morning!
you didn't use the headless guitar...
Thank god, headless guitars are fugly!
Mayones Hydra. Great guitar and should have defintely been played.
Im so so happy to see you still have that Axis Alex. Its been my favorite since the JTC days. Thank you for being you, you legend.
Thank you so much mate, I'll never get rid of them, they mean too much to me 👍🎸🙏
Excellent!!! 1 solo.....but on 9 different guitars ;) We'll need a second video for the final guitar :D
Crazy idea indeed!
Hahah, indeed. 👍🎸🙏
That sunburst tele is 🔥🔥🔥
That might be a 2 person challenge! :). You play and someone to hand off the guitar.
Good point I might consider that idea in the future .... Thx for watching 👍🎸🙏
super video , i like the musicman axis sport most :)
Thank you sir 👍🎸🙏
You missed that crazy looking headless 7 string :D
Another proof for any guitar player that the most important thing is your playing skills and not what kind of guitar, wood, finish, pickups, strings etc. you have, by listening to this video with eyes closed most people won't even notice when he switches guitars, he could have played a cheap no-name guitar and have sounded great anyway
i liked it specially the fender sound
Awesome 👍🎸🙏
I loved this idea hahah!
Although it was a little anxiety-inducing to watch you frantically grab one guitar while stepping over others! D:
Still though, well done!
YES!!!God how I've missed being the red dragon in action even if it was for some quick Bars, but of course great solo with some fun and taste!
Thanks so much.... Yes I'll have to get the Red dragon out more. I'm glad you love it too... 👍🎸🙏
I got nearly a heart attack. I thought his 4th guitar falls to the ground. Puh...
It's interesting you should say that I have an outtake where my guitar literally fell on its face... Maybe I'll upload for fun soon.... 👍 🙏 🎸
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Now you torturing me. 😂👍
Alex, I appreciate how much you challenge yourself! Better bloke than me!

If so, I would love to hear about it, i.e., support those who are supporting you. And one can never hear enough AH of course! ;-) Cheers mate and have a great weekend!
That was awesome. Surprisingly, I thought the GL Tele sounded by far the best.
Interesting.. And thank you glad you enjoyed it 👍🎸🙏
Dude!! I'm stressing out watching you rushing from one guitar to another! Please no scratches!!! Love your style of playing
Hello, you are amazing at improvising. If possible, provide the backingtrack?
Nice Maybe 9 diff shreds next time 😎🎈
I thought all of the Tele & strat type guitars sounded the best... The Frank Gambale probably sounded the best out of the double humbucker guitars, the pickups sounded more transparent
Interesting, thanks for you comments...👍🎸🙏
Great!! Your JEM collection probably didn’t fit into the screen, right? 😂🙏👍🎤🎸
My favorites were the Waghorn Ah6 and Strat 👏👏👏
Nice, thanks mate. 👍🎸🙏
Pacificas are fantastic.I have 3 pacificas.
Yes they are I always forget how good they are until I play one 👍🎸🙏
Crazy brother
👍
Had to watch twice
La 3 y la stratocaster suena pro que guitarras
パシフィカを持ってるのは知りませんでした。
あなたのファンになったきっかけの動画で、Musicmanを弾いてましたね。もう少し黄色いギターだったような気がしますが…
Great stuff as usual and nice idea. But I could play all 10 of those guitars and make them sound like shit. It’s the Indian … not the arrow
Hahah I sure it would be cool mate... Cheers for watching 👍🎸🙏
😂😂😂
👍🎸🙏
I prefer the Sabre
Cool 👍🎸🙏
Beautiful playing as always Alex! Such a pleasure listening and learning from you! Cheers mate and have a great weekend!
Yeah really good playing! 🔥🔥🔥
Crazy awesome idea that was! Thanks for that. The player matters most~
The tele has a beautiful sound but due to Teles and the way they are built are limited in tonal variations. The FG model seems to have it all! Hands down 80’s quality and tones , and the Ol’ black strat kicks their butts in so many ways! Bravo Alex cheers mate

Thanks so much man 👍🙏🎸
... how many guitars does a man need? One more! Nice idea and fine playing, I personally liked the beautiful telly best...
Thank you mate..... Yes I know I have far too many by then again some people collect stamps....😂 👍🎸🙏
Great playing and great vocals: “Waaahhh!” “Ooohhff!” “Graahhh!” 😂😂😂 Good to see you’re keeping up your New Year’s workout resolution 😜💪🏼
Thank you sir....😂 👍🎸🙏
Always great Mr Hutchings,but here very impressive,your playing is perfection,and your sense of music and improv'!!!!!WhaOow!!! you are a great between the greats! best regards from Reunion Island.
Best sounding ones for my taste:
1. the blue (G&L?) Tele
2. The Pacifica
3. The grey 8 string (Ibanez?)
4. Your b&w maple-neck strat.
Cool, nice list... And good choices... Thanks for watching 👍🎸🙏
Where’s the roadie when you need him?!
Super cool!
Guitarists of youtube should try this experiment this was amazing 🔥
Haha I'd love to see that too 👍🎸🙏
Alex, that was just 9 guitars, if I'm not mistaken. You did forget the Mayones :D It was a fun video to watch and listen to, though :)
Thanks mate, yes I'm now realising that.... I couldn't remember in the moment I'll do it again soon using all of them.. Thanks for watching 👍🎸🙏
The first time I saw you was with Yamaha Pacifica. Still love that sound. Hope you make more video with that one.
Love this video. Many thing I can learn from this. Your lick your sound. Thank you for always inspiring me.
Thank you mate, yes I guess the Misty video right? That was so long ago, maybe 2011.... How time flies. Thanks for watching 👍🎸🙏
I loved the tele's sound. Less muddy, a bit glossy, more transparent (?).
No phase discrepancies this time, absolute blissful sound and superb playing! Wish I could play the guitar even a fraction that good!
Spectacular Alex!🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸👏👏👏

@@AlexHutchingsMusic YES, and I'll have an EMT on standby.
Funny - 10 different guitars, yet they all sound like ALEX HUTCHINGS
Great! Still waiting for that video with UV777 in your hands :D By the way, have you even managed to get it back?
Hahah Hey Jakub, you remembered....Yes I have it back!! Thank you... I'm so pleased it sits proudly on my wall where it belongs... Maybe I should do a jem Edition? All the very best 👍🎸🙏

You almost damage your guitar... looks scary to me
Yes indeed, I had a lucky escape this time... 👍🎸🙏
Dude that was awesome - thanksso much for this loved it and great to hear the different tones from the different guitars - great stuff love it Elt
Thank you bro.... Glad you enjoyed it... Hope you're well mate 👍🎸🙏
awesome! but you missed the headless one :)
Darn it, I'll have to do it again 👍🎸🙏
I guess this kind of crazy events keep a musician in a constant good shape as a performer =) Thank you for sharing, Alex💪
Thank you mate, I'm glad you think so. Thanks for watching 👍🎸🙏
Very fun video! Next challenge, for every guitar you play solo in different key 😉 all the best man!❤️🎸🤘
Ibanez 8 wins, chuga chuga!!!
Chuga Chuga 👍🎸🙏
Great playing as always!!
hahah hey alex that was fun to watch
Thanks mate, I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍🎸🙏
I was scared stiff you were going to smack the guitars together every time you quickly put one back! And that fretboard is very very red!
Thank you mate, well there is actually an outtake video where a few of the guitars fall over...😂🙈 maybe I shouldn't upload them then? 👍🎸🙏
Aaaagh!!!!!!!@@AlexHutchingsMusic
That proves that, if you have the chops, any decent guitar will do. You should have used that bender on that G&L though :)
Thank you mate...Yes I must do a video on this guitar... It's so cool 👍🎸🙏
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Absolutely! Is it a G & B bender? I've heard Jimmy Olander or Brad Paisley using these contraptions, but i'd totally love to hear someone with your stylistic background make sense of it. Thumbs up.
Every time when it comes to change strings on 10 guitars:
- Oh, shit! Here we go again... 😅
I actually really dig the Yamaha
Me too mate, ironically it's the cheapest one in the line up 👍🎸🙏
The first guitar sounded great, and the black guitars towards the end had lovely tones.
And not a splice in sight ! I never seen ANYONE do that ! Good Job Bro. !🔥🎸🔥
Thank you bro.... No no splices here....😂 not my style... Glad you enjoyed it... Maybe it should be a challenge we set for others? All the very best 👍🎸🙏
Alexhutchingsmusic please do the same but with different amps! You are a monater of a guitarist. Please make a tour here in US. You are on my Top 3 favorite list together with Greg Howe and Gambale
Bummer you didn't play the Kiesel-looking guitar, maybe Hydra?
awesome
👍🎸🙏
fantastic guitar range !!
..but also the playing was 10/10 :)
So funny !!! 😂😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🎸🙏
Miss the tone and dynamics of your Musicman from your earlier days. Fond of the GL too
Wholesome!
👍🎸🙏
You need to practice more changing guitars!!!🤣
Love this idea. Could do 8 of'em all plugged in and switched between with an ES-8 (or 9 guitars if the volume loop is also used) might be quicker change over. I dont think I have that many cables even.
Yes mate, I'm sure I could find a more efficient way of doing it, which I'll have to try with more time... I kind of enjoyed the randomness of trying this way.... But yes I'll have to get on Amazon and by some more cables myself😂 👍🎸🙏
Wooow 😳 !!! Much suffering, man.
Made by you everything makes sense.
Everybody loves seeing you playing the guitar... Can you imagine 10 at the same time?
A big hug Master Alex Hutchings ! ! !
Hahaha thank you man, glad you enjoyed it... Hope you're well my man 👍🎸🙏
Love that gnl beautiful blue tone holy moly... 🫣
Guitar circle
Alex is just the ultimate guitarist. Simply fantastic player…
Thx mate 👍🎸🙏
beautiful guitars beautiful play
Great playing!
Ibanez for me... LOVE!
My favorite its the first one
Cool 👍🎸🙏
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Alex, can you explain how to use arpegios in horizontal in the guitar neck?? Need some help using 4th's
Pretty epic vid man 🤘🏻
Lady’s and gents…. the undeniable Alex Hutchings!!!…I for one have NEVER seen anyone else do that…I suspect because it’s REALLY hard to do!!! Thanks and much love as always Alex 👍🎸💥😘
Hello mate, thanks man, well it started out as a silly idea a I just went for it, I'm sure plenty of people could do it but, I would also like to see it... It's certainly a challenge... I'm glad you enjoyed it mate. ;-) 👍🎸🙏
Incredible! I love your 540S, it sounds so good. I have an '89 540S and it's one of my best sounding guitars. You missed out your new Mayones though!
Thank you mate, Yes I know I just realised I missed that one too... Well I have another take on another vid where I'm sure I play all 10. Will upload soon All the best 👍🎸🙏
Which is ur fav?
What an incredible guitarist you are, Alex 🤘🏻
Thank you so much 👍🎸🙏
Insane 😂😂❤❤🎉
Run ! Run ! 🤣
Awesomeness
I just restarted the video to make sure that the 1st sounded best to my ears ! Yes it did ! Supreme playing as always ;)
interesting.. Thx so much 👍🎸🙏
What a lot of fun!!! That's sooooo good to watch and I'm not even a guitar player! Love your playing!
