These intro jams are just getting to the point that people should just watch the videos just for the music even if they aren't guitar people. Great stuff guys!
Already the best quality tones you’ve ever achieved on UA-cam. And well played Captain - showing off some new scale licks in a very tasteful way. The Murphy Lab LPs aren’t bad either.
@@andertons the second one that Pete played - you pulled a face when he hit the first lick and I think I was making the same face with nice headphones cranked. I’ve had a Collector’s Choice for some years and I think these Murphy Labs are giving that series a run for their money (quite a lot of money as it turns out). My fave sounds from an LP are the middle position with both volumes rolled off a bit, or the bridge pup with the volume backed off a touch and tone rolled off as far as 4 or 5 (TM J. Bonamassa). You get the clarity of a clean note at the beginning with the warmth of the overdrive to fatten it up, almost like running the two sounds in parallel. And if you get a great rhythm sound with those settings, you are guaranteed a great lead tone to pop through the mix when you roll the volume back to 10. Really great video, and chapeau for the tones and playing, gents.
Wow that were some wonderful tones !! We all know that Pete is a monster player - but it must be stated that Lee has turned into such a tasteful player and toneformer through the last years. I call that a true Captain !! seriously motivating !!
Captain your playing was spectacular! Really been progressing over the years! I remember watching you and Chappers reviewing a slash epi vs slash Gibson with a white bedsheet as the back drop and I’ve been watching ever since! Wish you guys the best, Pete has been an incredible addition to the family as well! You guys sounded awesome together!
Lol that's literally what my missus said to me, and then she clattered me on the back of the head with the remote and said i'll never own a guitar like that. 😆 Glad it's not just me fellas. Hang in there! 🤟🏼
@@mrcherrytitsI hope she's gets the same in return when it comes to shose, jewellery or what ever she's into. Seems I'm lucky, I came across my dream custom shop tele and my missus loaned me the money to get it 😅
Here's how you do it, fellas. Each check set aside about 5 to 10% of the check in a secret fund. It'll add up quicker than you think. Once you get close to the price you tell your woman that you're getting a great deal on one and that they're letting you put it in layaway. She'll have no problem with a couple of hundred in a layaway. She'll think you've matured because you're getting what you want without looking selfish by blowing a large chuck of money. She just won't know that you've been saving that large chuck for a little while. It'll still take a little while to get, but at least you'll get it. 🤷♂️
@@AndrewPRoberts Absolutely. While it's been something of a meme, it's also awesome when a player has a signature lick that's instantly recognizable. Mick Taylor from TPS kind of developed one, too, after the song he did for their "Comfort Zone Challenge" vid (the one where he went all out with the music video).
I tend to think a thick neck on a guitar makes me hold and fret differently which gives me a better tone- it forces me to be more deliberate. But then it must be different for everyone- if you like the feel then you’re going to play better.
I think it is really interesting to see, how Lee transforms when he demos a guitar. When someone is sitting next to him and observing while he is playing on his own, he seems self conscious and a little bit stiff in his playing style. Almost like he doesn’t know exactly what to play, and maybe he worries about what the other person is thinking about his playing. But as soon as he’s jamming with someone talented or playing on top of a good backing track, it looks like he’s forgetting about everyone else around him, and he suddenly looks so free and confident! And it impacts his playing a lot - he sounds extremely good and his technique is amazing, when he’s jamming with Pete or a backing track. I know the feeling from myself. When someone asks me to play something for them, I feel shy and self conscious. But as soon as nobody is around or when I’m in the zone, I can play much better and more confident. The Captain and Pete are extremely inspiring to watch/listen to, and Lee’s transformation is amazing and a grear motivation for many players out there. Myself included!
I think it makes a great point to have the blindfold tests, shows if they are consistent and that it is more that player that is inspired or not. The looks add in the “pick up” factor afterwards. Great vid guys!
What an intro!!! There’s something about the neck pickup on a Les Paul when it starts to compress and ever so slightly pushes the amp to breakup. My all time favourite tone 😊
I'm aged.. I have a 1966 Marshall JTM 45 that has been around the block and is still stock but is battered from a life on the road. It'll make a good template for a new aged Marshall...
Those guitars are amazing. The DP models just sound more open, with more note definition and clarity without being too pokey. I've got a 2017 Les Paul Classic HP coming in from the Gibson Demo Shop today, and if it sounds even half as good as those things, I'll be overjoyed! Hopefully one day I'll be able to get a custom shop. Maybe even the DP model if they keep making it!
Some guitars just have that mojo, whether it's the wood, or pickups or a combination of both. Some guitars just sing more than others and just sound great. I have a strat like that, just sounds amazing.
Love your videos, that and coffee wakes me up every morning. A suggestion...if you are looking just for a tone difference, it may be better to have the playing done by one and the blindfold on the other to eliminate identifying the guitar by differences in necks, actions etc. Cheers from the US!
Still after one year, one of the best playing of captain and pete in a video, on whatever guitar! Shows that a guitar sounds only so good, as the player who plays it! Everybody start work on your playing and dont buy another guitar as soon as you feel in hole, its not the fault of your guitar. Jeff Beck or Clapton could make any super cheap guitar sound great.
@@pc3776 good call. I got an absolute steal, when I bought mine. If I wasn’t that lucky, I’d have never bought a Gibson. I do have an Bonamassa epiphone (gold one from 2011) which is lush.
@@pc3776 yeah- good shout. My mate got ride of 3/4 decent priced stuff- bought a prs custom 24 and he’s well happy-So is his wife. Got a few quid tucked into an account and a guitar that ‘does it all’.
These guys should start making CD's or tracks with full Tabs as collectibles for all of us fans out here! Blues, Rock and Solo lessons for easy fun and quick learning.
I do not know what you guys are going on about but that PLAINTOP is gorgeous! and the real ironic thing is that it is the closest to a 1858 standard since "flamed" 58's are not that common. I love a flame top as much as anyone but with 1958 Les Paul's i always visualize one like that plaintop one.
This is exactly why I’m having a hard time choosing a burst colour. In some light the ice tea burst looks like the bourbon burst looks like the cherry burst looks like the Tabbaco burst! My head is spinning! That dark bloody, wine colour with a real gradual burst is my favourite but I’ve seen that likeness in almost all of the colours at one time or another
Same here. I saw the perfect one at GC but I'm not sure what one it is. It seemed to have some red in it but I don't think it was a cherry burst. Maybe iced tea or bourbon but it definitely had dark red in it.
Actually, there are artificially aged tweed amps from fender, such pedals from Danelectro and cables from a company I forgot the name of (eytschpi42 showed them).
It's just not easy...any of it...whether its buying a guitar, amp or pedals, you do your best to choose (some go as far as blind fold hahaha!) but for me anyway its only months later when I'm over the honeymoon, played it in all its different applications; home, recording, rehearsal, gigging etc do I know. I once bought an original '63 strat, a great guitar people (including me) hold up as their dream guitar but after a year or so I just had to be honest that I wasn't playing it because the tone, feel and playability of my custom shop '64 2016 NAMM Special was preferable so sold it with no regrets. I've had an Analogman King of Tone on by board forever which I will never part with, yet am always changing out distortion and delay pedals. Amp wise I always go back to some sort of decent Fender yet keep trying others. I've come to the conclusion it's a journey, not a destination...just remember to enjoy it.
Pete is a marketing genius. I’ll grab a Murphy lab and come up with a story about it being the most expensive guitar at the custom shop and claim it’s the best Les Paul I’ve ever heard and convince Lee of it and then we’ll have some “custom” ordered to match this les Paul and we’ll sell them and make boo-koo’s of money!! Lol. Perfect plan!
Thank you! I recognize a fellow fan of the D. My first concert was in 2001. It was Kid Rock with Tenacious D opening In Louisville Kentucky. Been a fan ever since!
The difference is the wood, that guitar just happened to have the mahogany slabs which have the right structure, right weight and right resonance in right frequencies :). The rest of the guitars are also mahogany of course but it is a bit of a chance, not two wood slabs resonate the same :).
Congrats to Danish Pete for ALMOST getting a Gibson Signature '58 Les Paul. I heard if you purchase a Gibson Danish Pete M2M '58 Les Paul from Andertons, Pete will be your personal butler for a weekend and play you to sleep each night. Gorgeous tones with the jam. That Danish Pete Gibson '58 Les Paul definitely has some Mojo. #HolyGrail
These intro jams are just getting to the point that people should just watch the videos just for the music even if they aren't guitar people. Great stuff guys!
I agree, lately I have been watching just the intros. The Captain and Pete have stepped it up a notch. Beyond that it’s just great product demos.
I definitely do. Just great playing.
Really impressed with the Captain's progression over the past few years. Beautiful playing on this one!
19:00 we haven't heard that captains infamous "lick" in quite some time!
You can’t have been watching all the recent vids!
He appears to have embraced it and sticks it into nearly every product demo!
@@ces69 Yes your right, I haven't been keeping up with every single video of there's, but im glad to see it again!

Which of these Les Pauls was your favourite?

When ever I see Lee do a blindfold test I always think back to the passive vs active challenge when he said, “to me this just sounds like a guitar” 😂
Wow that were some wonderful tones !!
We all know that Pete is a monster player - but it must be stated that Lee has turned into such a tasteful player and toneformer through the last years. I call that a true Captain !!
seriously motivating !!
There is not much separating the Captain and Pete on this one

Wish you guys the best, Pete has been an incredible addition to the family as well! You guys sounded awesome together!
I've got a 2014 True Historic R8 Murphy, and the guitar is *magic* because it almost plays itself. At least it sure feels like it does.
Partners of people watching: "I don't get it. They all look the same"
Haha, nailed it. My misses thinks I should just practice more to sound better😂
Lol. My wife walked by the tv and said they all look the same, and don't go thinking you need all 4. Glad I'm not alone.
Lol that's literally what my missus said to me, and then she clattered me on the back of the head with the remote and said i'll never own a guitar like that. 😆 Glad it's not just me fellas. Hang in there! 🤟🏼

Pete, dude, your playing gets tastier and tastier! and the "pigeon burst" sounds fantastic!
My Murphy Lab blindfold challenge:
- i weigh my purse blindfolded
- its very lightweight
=> no Murphy Lab
lmao
Only $45 a month for the rest of your life. And if you get hard up, or tired of the les paul, you could always trade it for a nice car 🤷♂️
@@mrredritehand
Well ... not for me ... 'm old! ... and i wouldn't be too sure about the long term value of these "faked" sudo oldies ...
@@matzer8846 Idk man? They look and sound legit..
You mean everyone doesn't own one of these?
Lee's lessons with Justine did absolute wonders for his playing, some very tasty tones there mister Anderton.
I really enjoyed those
Even still, I always appreciate an appearance of the "Lee Lick"
@@AndrewPRoberts Absolutely. While it's been something of a meme, it's also awesome when a player has a signature lick that's instantly recognizable. Mick Taylor from TPS kind of developed one, too, after the song he did for their "Comfort Zone Challenge" vid (the one where he went all out with the music video).
Is there a video in Lee's lessons? Who is Justine?
@@danielcook3361 I think he meant Justin Sandercoe from Justin Guitar
I tend to think a thick neck on a guitar makes me hold and fret differently which gives me a better tone- it forces me to be more deliberate. But then it must be different for everyone- if you like the feel then you’re going to play better.
Warmoth did a video to determine if thicker necks give a thicker tone. To my ear there was a huge difference.
ua-cam.com/video/NJpZDEU7cw8/v-deo.html
When the least expensive guitar in the room is £4400 😆. This is Top Gear for Guitars 🎸
The amount of resonance sounds amazing, that and the constant feedback through the amp even clean!
I think it is really interesting to see, how Lee transforms when he demos a guitar.
When someone is sitting next to him and observing while he is playing on his own, he seems self conscious and a little bit stiff in his playing style. Almost like he doesn’t know exactly what to play, and maybe he worries about what the other person is thinking about his playing.

Lee literally has perfect vibrato.
He really does 😍
@@andertons With Rabea's accent please, he really dooz
He makes me think of vibrato when I practice. Inspiration from the captain.
I think it makes a great point to have the blindfold tests, shows if they are consistent and that it is more that player that is inspired or not. The looks add in the “pick up” factor afterwards. Great vid guys!
Man, your guys playing styles compliment each other very well.
I have 2014 58 which came with a pretty decent flame top, its not far off pete's top honestly (Slow iced tea NOS) I love the feel of it
Probably one of the best intro jams y’all have done! Some tasty licks!!
man! Pete's playing is tooooo good!
What an intro!!! There’s something about the neck pickup on a Les Paul when it starts to compress and ever so slightly pushes the amp to breakup. My all time favourite tone 😊
Lee, some of the best playing I’ve seen from you in my years of following Andertons TV. Kudos to you.
There's nothing like a Les Paul!! Thanks for the fun guys!!
I can't even afford to watch this video...
Absolutely beautiful bursts, both visually and tonally. Love Gibson guitars.
Love your videos. Keep it up and Thx. Loved the captain's tone in the intro jam
I'm aged.. I have a 1966 Marshall JTM 45 that has been around the block and is still stock but is battered from a life on the road. It'll make a good template for a new aged Marshall...
Thanks for all trouble you go to; and the brilliant content guys. Cheers from Oz.
I love my Andertons Peat’s spec CS Tele ,as my profile picture shows. 💜🎸
Ive Lacquered a few fender tweed amps...( blues Jr/ Pro Jr/ Blues Deluxe)...Zinnser amber 3 coats..... great vintage look...
Just found this video today. love it. Thanks guys!
19:17 - How did changing the bridge pickup volume work when the pickup selector is set to the neck?!?!?
Those guitars are amazing. The DP models just sound more open, with more note definition and clarity without being too pokey. I've got a 2017 Les Paul Classic HP coming in from the Gibson Demo Shop today, and if it sounds even half as good as those things, I'll be overjoyed!

I totally agree
I'm absolutely in love with Lee's soulful licks.
Would love to see you review the Mark Knopfler Les Paul 👍😊
At 8:02, Lee reminds me so much of David Brent
The 2nd guitar Pete played in the intro had a VOICE!!! Wow! They’re all gorgeous, but that one just said “listen to me.”
Love your videos, that and coffee wakes me up every morning. A suggestion...if you are looking just for a tone difference, it may be better to have the playing done by one and the blindfold on the other to eliminate identifying the guitar by differences in necks, actions etc. Cheers from the US!

You happy to spend that?
@@ItsJustRyan89 Absolutely not. I think I'd rather go for a 90s Les Paul. They had great wood in that era

Tone freaking heaven 😍. Love it 🖤
Great playing, great tones, great guitars…..
Don't know about Sara - But it made me smile
Well called.
Thanks for the Hall and Oates pointer, found good music again!
That intro was dope 🤘, I knew it sounded familiar love that song classic hall & Oates
Just beautiful guitars Guys, I'll take what ever you don't want.
M2M Danish Pete '58 Les Paul VOS shound faboulous ...the price is also faboulous :D...
Finally.. Been waiting for this one!
I do not know what you guys are going on about but that PLAINTOP is gorgeous!
and the real ironic thing is that it is the closest to a 1858 standard since "flamed" 58's are not that common.
I love a flame top as much as anyone but with 1958 Les Paul's i always visualize one like that plaintop one.
Well well Captain’s playing is getting better and better 👍🏼
I really dug the intro jam 10cc "I'm not in love" take. At least thats what your Hall & Oats jam reminded me of......LOL
Captain: “It’s just a lovely ring…”
Pete: “Thanks for noticing…”
Comedy gold.
I think Denmark must have screened the "Carry On" films when Pete was growing up.
Wow these guitars are absolutely amazing but I just couldn't justify the price.
That 58 Murphy Lab very much sounds like my PRS 594!!!
Those all sound fantastic
This is exactly why I’m having a hard time choosing a burst colour. In some light the ice tea burst looks like the bourbon burst looks like the cherry burst looks like the Tabbaco burst!

At 3:13, how does Pete do that major/minor pentatonic thing, can’t figure it out!!😡
Thought the backing track was John Mayer “moving on and getting over” until there were a few different chord sections. Great vid lads
Why is maple used for the tops? Is it purely because they look good for the ‘flame’ or is the wood also good tonally? Could you have an Ash top?
It's just not easy...any of it...whether its buying a guitar, amp or pedals, you do your best to choose (some go as far as blind fold hahaha!) but for me anyway its only months later when I'm over the honeymoon, played it in all its different applications; home, recording, rehearsal, gigging etc do I know.

Nice job with those guitars, they look and sound great. Pete's guitar still has it though, just. I also like the colour change, looks fantastic.
Stunning intro

Lol. Perfect plan!
Did the Captain go down to the Crossroad and sell his soul? Your playing and phrasing have gone next level since last year. What happened???
Normally I prefer a AA flame but that flame top is fire! Yeah I just said that.
I really wanted to see if Pete could pick his out the lineup (blindfolded). I bet he could, but it would still be nice to see.

Why do the Murphy's have white switch tips? That's not period correct, super odd

The Anderton's Exclusive Limited Edition 58 Les Paul Homage Series as Specified by Danish Pete.
I would like to hear a Franklin’s Tower style jam between you two
You can certainly hear the tubes ringing! That may well be the secret sauce in terms of the resonance?
Aye cap'n! Well played me hearties!
Everybody is high on consolation
The difference is the wood, that guitar just happened to have the mahogany slabs which have the right structure, right weight and right resonance in right frequencies :). The rest of the guitars are also mahogany of course but it is a bit of a chance, not two wood slabs resonate the same :).
Intro jam sounds like She's Gone. Nice.
No one demos gibson better than you guys cheers !!
Could just be me, but maybe roll some of the highs out of the Captain's lapel, everything sounds warm against his emphatic esses and tees :)
Great to see the process , and hear the end result . Is aged and relic , the same thing ?
Gotta love these two...
Congrats to Danish Pete for ALMOST getting a Gibson Signature '58 Les Paul. I heard if you purchase a Gibson Danish Pete M2M '58 Les Paul from Andertons, Pete will be your personal butler for a weekend and play you to sleep each night.
Gorgeous tones with the jam. That Danish Pete Gibson '58 Les Paul definitely has some Mojo. #HolyGrail
