Sweet Child O' Rob and Enter Captain =)))
hehehehehehhehshehehehehehehehehe
"Enter Captain"?, Oh god, that picture will be hard to erase.
+SIMON did i scar u?
TrashySkrub I'm fine, I think. We'll have to wait and see. :P
Sweet Rob o' Captain.
New challenge video: Who makes the best starter pack for X £
Hahahaha... can't wait to see what they have to say about the Stagg starter kit!! : )
I got a decent starter pack from Best Choice products for 45 quid. The action is a little high and it's mostly lower quality wood, but it fulfills the purpose of a starter pack better than any other, which is to determine if you actually want to play guitar or not. And it comes with a REAL amp, unlike the Epiphone ones.
Thats a great idea.
my own starter pack was more expensive... somewhere around 200£ in DKK. Contained a Squier Bullet Strat, a Roland Cube 15w ( i think) and the extra stuff (picks, jack, lousy gigbag, etc.)
DamageIncM WoW!, the delivery guys around your way must be brutal for you to think that one up : )
I see a "build your own starterpack" challenge - where you have to get the best gear together for under 300 Pounds :-D
Like
+M. de k. Jackson js11, I tried one of those in the shop and they felt brilliant to play. ended up buying the js22 and honestly, I fucking love it, easy to play and the neck is not sticky or gripy and feels solid.
I approve of this motion and would LOVE to see Chappers and The Captain do this!
You guys should watch the video, they actually decide to do exactly that, with 350 pounds ; )
+insidia
Well, maybe... but Lee announced here to do this next time.
Does nobody actually watch these videos before commenting?
That intro jam is either great or an abomination, I can't decide.
abominations are great XD
not all abominations are great. ever seen that hulk movie with the terrible abomination? Lol im a nerd
It was both in equal measure, one cancelling out the other creating a singularity.
I honestly kinda like how low the cut is on that explorer. As a full scale guitar that shape would be legitimately cool.
there was a series like that. it called the futura
Lyle watches The Captain and Chappers too, papa bless 💜💜
What the fuck. You are like, the last person I expect to see here hahaha
oh hey Lyle
Pretty sure there is a guitar called the Futura that Gibson did. Basically is a bigger version of that mini Explorer.
Sweet child is played on an explorer style guitar, and Enter Sandman on Les paul?... Those guys did it on purpose
Right, 2 ideas spring to mind from watching this vid:
1) Chappers vs. The Captain - Rocksmith challenges (high-scores on minigames, best % on a few songs, go wild and then weigh pros and cons of Rocksmith)
2) Chappers&The Captain vs. Rabea&Matt - Build an Andertons starter pack
Each team puts together 2 starter packs from affordable gear, and leave the judging to the comments field. Add a bonus competition - in the comments, choose 1 of the packs and write a review/presentation. Winner gets the pack and Andertons use the review/presentation making the pack an Andertons special offer.
yes
A "Let's Play" with Lee (and maybe Rob or Rabea?) would be sooo cool!
this
I want to see Rob and Cap play Rocksmith!
Haha, I can imagine them getting really frustrated really fast, alternatively they'll just ace it all....
me to, really badly xD
*multi-post sorry*
*
You can see Rob is very anti rocksmith.
As long as you invert the notation so it appears as TAB I think It's a decent program.
Damn, that little explorer looks cool, I'd see myself swapping the pickup for a brutal bare knuckle !
I had the same idea but for the junior, I love the tuner in the pickup ring, that is fucking genius!
That would be fucking awesome :D
And strap on a Floyd Rose FRX on it!
Yea, that silver burst just looks irresistibly cool somehow. And hmm... Since the body is already routed and wired for a battery...
You are smart my friend
What about a Chapman Guitars starter pack???
That's actually genius
what amp would it come with?
+Taylor Shapiro JCM 800 xD
+Taylor Shapiro Rob's signature victory but 1 watt.
Just a budget chapman would be cool!
Lol, first 30 seconds sound like every guitar store ever
Sweet Sandman O Mine! That is a great cover of "Guitar Center In A Strip Mall"
The amp looks like a transistor radio I had back in the 70s. Sounds just like that too.
Minh Pham in 1988 I had a fender amp that i traded for a 800$ watch and when I pluged it in it sounded like crap I felt robbed
Enter Manchild
Wow the intro song sounded so unique and original. Thank you chapman very cool.
Enjoyed watching this and I will be on the lookout for that diy starter kit vid!
When I was 15 I got a Hondo Les Paul copy that had strings several miles above the fingerboard and NO amp. It put me off trying to play for years. These starter pack are superb, if only I was 15 again!
i had a Ford les paul
Vtec?
Im now rebuilding an old hondo
This proves my theory; you can plug a $1,000 guitar into a $100 amp, and it'll sound like crap. But if you plug a $100 guitar into a $1,000 amp, and it'll sound good.
I once went over to some guy's house because we were thinking about getting a band together, and he had a prs and tons of other guitars, but only had a line 6 Spider. Needless to say, I haven't played with him since.
Dom Altieri that is why you want a $750 guitar and a $250 amp for home playing
Peavey windsor
rodriguez256 Did you get one?
It depends on the price of a roland cube. If the prices keep falling, then I'll disagree.
Always appreciate your honesty.
look forward to the starter video your planning! great videos guys, watch u all the time since i found you!
Rob, you had me feeling optimistic whilst you were playing through your Victory Silverback... when I saw the "amplifier" that came with the starter pack, my hopes died a sudden, horrible death...
Good thing I don't need a starter pack.
I just want a 24 fret, 25.5 scale explorer. Man I'd buy them so fast
Jackson Kelly?
Dean Guitars Zero Angel of Death
Schecter are making Explorer models now with those specs, and I'm not one for Explorer knock offs, but oh boy, Schecter have done a fine job.
Probosquadhenry that thing looks more like a battle weapon
Nice. A little of "Blue on Black" there in the end, great song for beginners.
Good review...I love how these guys play random stuff in their own worlds just like everyone in a guitar shop. Everybody solo!
Finally epiphone brought back juniors, now u can make a sounds like green day
Rocksmith does have amp modeling and it also has a lot of skill games that are great for working on scales and such
Right with you, I really feel I gain from the mini-games and such to learn scales and chords, but it is terrible for teqnique-training (correct picking, bending, slides and such). Got to have some kind of coach so you don't get hampered by learning some bad habbits on your own.
Yea i feel like it's a good start I think this pack is a great way for a person to give it the ol college try and if they hate it they are not out much
Rocksmith is GREAT if you already know how to play decently.
yeah, i actually own Rocksmith but i only bought it to learn the songs, i already knew how to play guitar before I bought it
I never had a teacher and I have a really healthy technique. If you care enough, you can teach yourself by playing Rocksmith.
And I'm not trying to put anyone off of having a teacher, I just never liked being tought, so Rocksmith was a cool way to keep playing when my motivation was going low.
great vid
17 years ago, I bought an Epiphone Special ii starter pack that came with a 10 watt Marshall MG10. It wasn't a great amp by any means, but at least it said 'marshall' on the front, and made me sort of look like I knew what I was doing..
Rob, thanks for including very nice gig bags with your guitars!
I would love to work at a music store and just shred everydamn day of the week
Trust me after a while you will barely even look at a guitar let alone play one if you worked at a guitar shop every day.
I volunteer at the Boys & Girls club in my community and my thing is to teach guitar. We get the kids for one hour each and when I have my time, I spend it trying to make new guitarist. If they show interest, I will buy them a starter pack, usually the Squier or the Yamaha (out of my own pocket and use it as a tax deduction). These might just work better. The on board tuner is so dope. The amp...IDK...I have to hear it in person. A Fender Frontman used is $20
I've bought an SG custom & a John 5 tele from Andertons & my set up on both occasions has been minimal. Obvious string change on both guitars & a very slight intonation adjustment on the 5 (which is expected) Brilliant company to deal with and incredible after service.
Got the "Epiphone Les Paul Special II Performance Pack" as my first guitar and amp. Great guitar and REALLY great beginner amp.
the way Rob looked at that cable XD
Anyone else thinking of taking one of the bolt on necks and putting it on a squire tele To make it a Tele-phone?
Love Lee's honesty, had me crying :)
Captain is so right about this! A beginner only needs an amp so they can hear themselves. Not for the quality of the tone, cause half the time, they will just be trying to not make all the strings ring out.
The Rocksmith thing is awesome! And has some cool tones.
And love the ultimate to being kicked out of a guitar store for an intro!
You guys need to review rocksmith !!
yes!
Oh yes!
this
Wait for the free update (Rocksmith 2014 Remastered) in October 2016
I own Rocksmith 2014, and I love it. It's a great way to get into bass/guitar, or just to have some fun. Highly encourage these guys to do a play through, it does have multiplayer... ;)
Miku into that little amp= rig done
"It's just different levels of rubbish sound"
That gave me a much needed chuckle
I just bought one of these. They are now $150 new in the US. I just like the looks of the Silverburst Explorer and didn't want to pay a fortune for a 'wall hanger" and this looks like fun and probably will not hang on the wall much
The breaking glass sound effects make me laugh...
Those bends sound like whales comunicateing
Badass guitars, I especially like the Explorer with V headstock
That Explorer is pretty awesome, it's making me rethink getting a Squier VM Strat as my first electric
Small speakers are probably to relieve the fears of parents and neighbours until you've learnt to play properly... ;-)
I meant at the store, if they're buying it as a gift or something. ;-)
They'll be happy to see a tiny speaker. 'That won't make too much noise, right?'
MRGRUMPY53 Love it! =D
Haha! "Just different levels of rubbish sound". Totally agree!
Great sound bite...
I agree with the cap. Last week I was at the big guitar store and a father was shopping with his son for the first guitar. They asked me for help and I urged them away from the "starter" goods because you're stuck with something you have to get rid of later when you upgrade or quit. We found an older used yamaha guitar and 10" peavey amp that will always be usable and good for subways, practice, or risky places you don't want your heavy or expensive gear.
Total around $150.
Impressive packs and I think it's great they come with a code for Rocksmith :). being a player for 22 years just by learning and watching, never been to a music university though i wish to one day, I think it's really an amazing product that can help anyone to learn guitar whether basics, songs, scales, etc. Sorry enough of my ranting. Great review guys \m/ and Rob really thinking of breaking down on finally owning one of your guitars :D. ML-2 just can't decide which color lol.
Don't use the amp. Use Rocksmith through the PC as an "amp". Still not a real amp, but 100% better than the crap mini amps.
... and they covered that.
Sure. I was just going off of what's included with the package.
I was just thinking the amp mic'ed with an SM57 might make a good lead tone.
The captain playing metallica and chappers playing sweetchild o mine? That seems backwards
the captain's bend!!!! YEEEEEAAHHH
Lol the begginer like jam was so awesome mixing two riffs that make no sense with each toher but rob and the cap make it awesome!
am i the only one who wants to buy one of these, put a sweet pup in it and turn it into a rock machine
yeah, or just like a tracking guitar. I feel like it would be a fun project. kinda secretly gassing for the explorer
I've done that with my squier and multiple guitars for friends and such. :) Take a cheap strat, throw in a SD Hot Rails, hardtail the bridge if you wish, and you have an amazing guitar.
Yeah I did up my Mexican Fender and it's the best guitar I've ever played. I legit wanna make that explorer a shred machine
they would also need some fretwork, so it would play great
Yeah for sure
Is there a DLC code for Rocksmith where you can have a final boss battle guitar duel with The Captain?
*(Plays the Schecter Black Ops riff)*
YOU WIN! :D
I really like the built in tuner, I could see how it would come in handy.
My first guitar was a fender fa-100. It had a starter kit with picks, cable, strap, and a gig bag. It's a decent acoustic.
2:55 DEATH TO ALL BUT METALL!!!!!!!!!!
Best intro xD
I got a Nice starter kit from a German company got the Bc Rich Widow Warlock, cable, Fender frontman 10 Amp and bag for £200 . Its was a nice kit, love the Guitar although I now recently bought an Epiphone Custom shop 1984 Explorer. still use the Amp and Warlock and bought some pedals, EHX Metal muff with top boost, GCB95 crybaby and nux ch-3 chorus
That introduction was superb. Taking the two most overplayed rock songs in the world and fusing them into a sweet abomination. Comedy genius!
I see no problem with the amp. You can simply use free VSTs and get a great sound if u know what u are doing.
Too early with my comments. U guys said the same thing.
+Dan Cannon That sounds like a even better idea.
You should review rocksmith, and have some fun with that
challenge eachother to some blues tracks, and session mode
Nice "Blue on Black" jam at the end
My mother worked in a charity shop and she brought home a purple Squier Strat as my first guitar about 12/13 years ago, around the same time some of my friends got a starter kit from Argos which was very good. It was a Strat looking thing which was mostly plastic, it had a pickup switch and a tremolo and the amp was a pretty decent size super cheap Fender, much bigger than that Epiphone thing, it was £80-90 which is crazy and it looks like they still do similar setups now.
I actually ended up getting the amp by itself because it was so user friendly.
is it rob making that guitar look small or is it just tiny?
It's tiny
Yeah, it's kinda weird looking to me. Quite puny.
+Pablo Griswold the LP jr looks good though
+Alexander Kundert Yeah, it's alright. I have an (old) LPJ that looks a bit different to me because I think the top curve on this one looks a bit too shallow, like it's a jazzmaster on top. Still, not evry Lester has to be identical, so it looks fine.
+Pablo Griswold yeah, on the explorer there was a huge difference in size, kind of makes ot look like a toy. thats why I got a squier, since they are the same size but nog as wide.
WE DEMAND A SECOND (unofficial) CHANNEL WITH ALL THE "BLOOPER REELS" as well as all the censored moments :D
PS: "Here's everything that comeS with..."
i can definitely vouch for rocksmith, i can play guitar decently and could already play when i started using rocksmith, but man, i'v found that i can add a new custom song into rocksmith, play it first time and end up playing it really well, a handy tool.
Focus your ears to 8:25. that bend man, that bend! Pure auditory pleasure.
Whats the bet Robs gonna get a micro terror?
terror, qube or blackstar
Well he'd need a cab if he got a micro terror/dark, which isn't cost effective necessarily... Unless he sticks with the tiny 1x8 but a combo is better for the buck
I just wish epiphone made a good quality les Paul jr with a p90 single pickup!
They made a 57 reissue Les Paul Jr with a p100 pickup
I come from the future to tell you drop 400$ and now they do
Yeah in 3 months I upgraded my little Fender amp to a Blackstar Stereo 10 and for $100 I can't be happier! Usually below $200 amps kinda suck but this is really good!
That little amp might be useful with earbuds plugged in. I also would love to see these guys do a video on Rocksmith. Really looking forward to the "starter pack" one.
wheres the starter pack challenge?
Chapman starter pack idea?
Would be surprising, since their guitars are really well made and therefore a bit expensive for people just starting out :/
I'm with the Captain. It's enough to start. I'd be more into the guitar if it had two pickups. The next video they're talking about is a great video concept. Can't wait to see it.
I love it when Rob plays some Yngwie
Ummmmm, if we think properly about guitars, shouldn't enter sandman be played on the explorer and sweet child o man played on the les Paul 😐
Probably in most cases but surprise they have the same pickups
can we agree the intro was kinda cancer
Fearzy YT sweet child o mine sounded off
I have one black Pro 1, modified with Gibson 57 classic humbucker , awesome sound.
Love what Epiphone are doing here though, kudos to them. Love the look of that white Epiphone Jr.
Which reminds me.....if only Gibson still made white LPJ's, would buy one in a heartbeat.
straight from the beginning... Sweet Child of Mine and Enter Sandman do NOT mix well. Not even if you change them to fit in key with each other.
Yoooooooooo! I want that Explorer Jr. hahaha
That thing is TINY!
Perfect to start a trve black metal band with these amps!
Best mini amp ive ever heard.
I once played an LP with 8s. Bends were all over the show!
I bought the second hand Ibanez Premium RG870 from Andertons. It will hopefully arrive tomorrow and so far, the experience of Andertons has been excellent.
I am constantly amazed by how much value is available in modern low-priced gear. I bought my first guitar in 1984, and it was $125 and was literally a plywood body piece of garbage. My first amp was a tiny Crate that cost $100 and sounded like poop. Add in a strap, a cable, a tuner and a couple picks and the total was easily over $275 - and I didn't even get a gig bag for the guitar!
30 years later: you get a decent quality playable guitar, built-in tuner, strap, cable, picks, and software to teach you to play (and a mostly worthless amp) for about $300 (US). That's amazing! If you factor in inflation, that $275 (1984 dollars) starter kit would cost $632 (2016 dollars) now!!! That's over double the cost of an Epiphone starter kit.
That's just amazing.
Was about to buy a ghost fret, but those guitars just seem to be so much better :D
Gotta say that that's pretty cool. My only thing is that I wish the guitars came with 2 humbuckers and a switch, but for a beginner level that's a pretty kicking pack.
i love it when in the start rob plays sweet child on the explorer and cap plays enter sandman on the les paul
I have never seen a TH-cam intro that is more me playing the guitar
I kinda like how that little amp looks. Looks like a vintage radio. It isn’t the worst thing I have heard
I really dig the slightly modified Explorer shape, almost looks more like an Iceman with that horn.
Totally diggin the lp jr
That small explorer is beautiful
This video was just in time, i am looking forward to the 350 pound starter pack challenge.
Cause i am aching to start playing the guitar.
Starter pack challenge sounds cool.
That little explorer is epic
Sometimes we forget how great Rob is!
I actually want one of these now. I've been playing for 2 years, I have a Jackson Rhoads V, and a 100 watt amp, and I want this haha. The amp is so cute.
