Let's take a moment to pause and reflect on how much of a genius/pioneer Lee is. He has exponentially grown his family business into an international brand.
That's probably by lack of choice, too. But he pulled it off.
@@michaelangeloh.5383 how can you grow a business internationally without choosing to??
He definitely had good help, too!
@@Phyligree TH-cam channel blows up in ways you didn't see coming and now everyone knows who you are which probably drives up sales on both sides of the pond. A few small review videos years ago blew up.
He made a youtube channel, relax
One of my favorite captain jokes is when they were demoing an Amp with variable wattage and he said something like this:
"you can dial this down to half power for when you're in the bedroom, but of course I never go half power in the bedroom"
what episode is it??
@@immanuelbaptistchurch4327 I 'm sure there's plenty of head room in rob's bedroom.
th-cam.com/video/Aa1g3q0PNy8/w-d-xo.html @18:38
That is my favorite video. The way Lee said that....I just think of that and I laugh. That has also become one of my favorite catch phrases when setting up my amp when jamming with friends.
Yeah, that and when they tossed a coin and Rob said “I’d like head”
The way I describe Andertons TV is "it's Top Gear for guitars" - lots of fun and jokiness; anything but just a dry 'and it does this... And it has this..'. Its entertaining to watch even if you're not serious about guitars
"It's the loudest guitar amp .......... In the world." 🤣
I know I live in Norway and I really need to visit Andertons don't care were in Britain it is that place sounds like my Mecha.
I like that take 👍
Absolutely ive been wondering why id never seen a guitar show on tv it seems like itd have tons of millions of viewers
They've been called the Top Gear of guitars by quite a lot.
What I love about the videos, especially the Chappers and Captain ones, is that while they're definitely just meant for fun on the surface, and they can definitely be enjoyed for that, they do still teach you about products and give great tips as well.
21:25 hey, that's me!
I did try to put my name on the inside of Bea's mask (so you'd all remember my name lol) when I made it separately from the original pair but the vinyl absolutely wouldn't stick to the carbon fibre effect vinyl I used on the inside. The Bea blindfold had his face logo on the front. Still waiting to see it in action.
I insta-click on blindfold videos as they are always incredibly entertaining.
thank you sir for your great work!
Ya very cool man :)
The blindfold videos are undeniably the best
Your work, good sir, has changed guitar gear review videos forever. :P
Nice one man
The coffee cup slide to sip is pure dad rock genius
the sip he takes after it really finishes it nicely
Genious!
Yeah that was EPIC!! 😂😂
I was cautiously waiting for it to explode and was disappointed.
Yeah 😂
"here's a chord"
*BWAH*
will never get old
you're laughing hard after that and then like just as you're about to calm down
"here's another chord"
*NYOH*
and you completely lose it
I JUST LAUGHED AT THIS COMMENT BECAUSE I REMEMBERED AHAHAHAHAHAHA
That video had me in stitches
I live in a suburb of Dallas, Tx. guys, and I had never heard of Andertons probably 5 or 6 years ago. If I ever make my way to the U.K. I WILL, definitely make my way to Andertons somehow for no other reason than to say I've been there and bought something even if it's a pick! For no other reason than you two guys cracked me up watching your videos! Then watching Chappers videos, then Rabea's, etc., etc. you guys have become distant, somewhat embarrassing family! Make people laugh and show them cool shit. Recipe for success!
I'm from Dallas as well and ive found myself buying stuff from their website simply bcs I love Rob and Lee.
The Miku video still cracks me up to this day, i probably watched it about 50 times now, never gets old
Another thing that made this channel: the video editing.
Definitely, the humour that is added (for example the miku sound in this video) is great, it stops them becoming too dry.
The guys working behind the scenes really show how much they must enjoy the whole thing too
I’ve been watching for about 3 years and it is the rapport between chapters and the captain plus the humor that makes this a great channel . Keep making videos and having fun while you make them .
The coffee cup breaking sound every time they put the mug on the table
speed hats for faster tuning
Action Lee-plays, and the little explosions when they put mugs down never fail to crack me up.
I don't usually comment, but the intro was absolutely killer, that PRS is absolutely gorgeous and this friendship is one of the strongest in the public eye, that is all.
Anybody knows which song they were playing?
Frank Meffert The riff is from "The Ballad of John Henry" by Black Country Communion, but the jam is not the song, exactly.
@@alexledford4747 Thank you! Where would I be without the comments section :D
+Alex Ledford Bonamassa, not BCC.
@@DaveDexterMusic but the BCC version is so....better.
I love how the whole crew feels like a family of sorts. It's cool to see you guys working together in other projects.
I think the Cab clone was a great Andertons moment cause that's how you got Danish Pete on your team.
I searched for that because of I didnt know he worked for Mesa before..
He also was a Martin demonstrator.
Pete is THE best thing to happen to this channel! Rabea is also awesome, but as I prefer blues, Pete is the bees knees.
It's funny because I always thought, when I see the video clips now, I thought it was a joke video about "we got a rep here from Mesa" and it's just Pete. lol.
THE TOP GEAR OF TONE. Friendship and subject passion are a winning combination
I describe this channel to my friends as "Top Gear but for Guitars" with the caveat that non-car people can still enjoy Top Gear, but you pretty much have to know guitars to really appreciate this one.... except for the Korg Miku review. :D
I hadn’t really played guitar in 10 years and I wasn’t well, had just left hospital and was going to be inactive for awhile so I decided to pick it up again. I came across your videos doin product research, helped me pick out an amp. I watched every video of yours I could find. Fast forward 2 years I am playing in 2 bands again and I am playing an ML-3 Modern and ML-2 Classic. Cheers guys it’s been quite a ride for me.
Thats awesome to hear chuck, keep it that shit up mate
wow, that's excellent to hear. glad you're recovered + back on the scene + loving it. [el'sda2].
Good on ya mate! What bands do you play in?
I am forever in debt to the endless smiles and laughter gifted to me over the years by watching Chappers and Captain Lee. Thanks soo much guys.
Cheers!
I just want to say, while there's no way you can actually correlate your youtube presence to your sales, I, for one, made a concerted effort to buy some things from your store, BECAUSE of your youtube videos all the way from Canada. Simply because I wanted to give thanks for all the entertainment, great music and company you guys have provided over the years. I know this is an old video to comment on, but I'm going through the videos chronologically during the pandemic :)
Korg Miku is the best video ever :D
both of them
Channel hasn't been as funny since.
I bought the Miku and never used it :) Never mind, I spend money for even more useless things.
@@hawedehre You could sell it for more than you bought it for. I simulated it in Ableton with MiGiC and the Alter/Ego-plugin. Was fun, but here once too.
I've seen it a bunch of times and that clip still had me crying.
There is no one else I would watch 38 minutes of chit chat. Ya'lls videos are what first introduced me to the wide world of electric guitars. My favorite video remains the "How to gig under 500." It was a great video that showed several different options for guitar and amp in the price range, and in the end went with two totally different approaches that both worked. I would love to see more vids like that.
Yes, probably my favorite video too.
It is the way how Lee and Rob talk into the camera and make you feel you are sitting together with them for a cup of tea. You feel being part of the conversation.
You have some of the same magic that makes the Grand Tour/former Top Gear trilogy so good.
Some mates having fun.
Looks like Lee has a new favorite axe. Thats a sweet G & L
His hero, Mayer, moved to PRS. He is now embracing Fender's last child.
Hard to tell, it's called orange, but it seems red to me. The red is more expensive.
I went to Anderton’s last year while on vacation. I bought a pedal. Met the captain. What a nice guy. He’s pretty much the same guy. Ordered a Europe exclusive PRS from there a few months ago too. Didn’t bother looking around at other stores just ordered it from them.
Discovered you guys 3 years ago, I'm from San Francisco and visited Guildford and Andertons last year. Bought a couple of pedals that I love. Looking forward to seeing Rob at Guitar Center SF next Tuesday. You guys do a terrific job, Andertons is a spectacular music store, looking forward to going back next year. Thank you for a great channel!
Vallejo here.
@@I_like_turtles_67 former Vallejoan here, now in Northwest Arkansas :) Lee and Rob, thanks for a wonderful channel and for all you guys do entertaining and educating.
@@I_like_turtles_67 home of the zodiac killer
The honesty and humour is what people love about Andertons, if it’s crap and they are honest, it makes the praise to products which are shit hot much more valuable. Top job fella’s
What a beautiful color on that prs
It really is!
The Petrucci interview is an all-time classic. The Paul Gilbert interview is thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. Really showcases Lee's abilities as a broadcaster.
I am an American, I live in Zambia, If I ever go to England, I want to see Andertons and buy something just because I like you guys.
I used to come on to TH-cam to watch the Old Cricket and League Matches . One Day I saw an Ad for Andertons , had a look and I've watched your shows religiously Daily for the last 2 Years ! My favourite bit ? Watching the evolution of Lee's Soloing under the tutelage of an Aussie legend , and Danish Pete and Rabea's growth into seperate TH-cam entities . Thanks for the Memories , Blokes !
I think part of the reason people love David and Goliath shootouts is because everyone with a low end guitar wants to know if it compares favorably to the high end version and everyone with a high end guitar wants to know if it was worth the money.
I really appreciate what guys like you, Glen from Spectre sound, and Colin from CS Guitars do. You guys do a great service to musicians all over the globe, especially the lot of us that can’t just drop X money to try out gear. So for what it’s worth: Thank you, Captain and Chappers!
Add Henning Ola and Fluff to that mix.
Man, I love Lee and Rob. Oh yes and the video editing as someone mentioned is absolutely spot-on. It is FUN to watch these.
The reason I watch this channel is the chemistry being funny with out have to be funny. The most important is that you are not brand loyal. I have base what gear I buy here in the States off blindfold tests and other videos where you give honest opinions.
+1
Been following chappers n the captain since their video on the Blackstar delay pedal in 2009/2010.
I can't remember when I found them but they are definitely the reason I watch TH-cam today.
The Pedal is crap though ;-D
@@olewetdog6254 Yeah they're so entertaining aren't they! What is your favourite video?
Easy, the Miku stairway to heaven video. Brilliant!!!!
Oh yeah he miku was brilliant! Shame they stopped making it
List of (maybe) some good ideas:
- Take a look a different guitar mods (put most amount of mods into a guitar to see what sounds best)
- Choosing a Rig That Your Mate will love, but with stuff that he might not own/considered
- (April Fools?) Crossovers like Peter and Rob doing 'Sound like' or Bea and Lee reviewing stuff. Or change places with 'That Pedal Show' or something
- (April Fools?) Is it possible to profile a Miku?
- Andertons 'Look like', or how is the best way to fake a Marshall stack or tips to relic your guitar, best leather clothes to match your favorite hair metal band
- The Captain Helps People Buy a Rig, with some random customers
- Captains meets ... and makes his guest uncomfortable by make them play with unusual setups
- Find out what is what with different plectrum materials
- You cannot have your amp around, what is the way to get your sound with whatever amp you can get: Clean channel + pedals, Fx loop + pedals, fx loop + preamp pedals, multi effects?
- Make Chap, Lee, Bea, Pete learn the same solo, than make them play with same gear over the same backing track and see how the equipment reacts do the player. Maybe record the same thing with different amps and guitars
- Deeper dive into Fishman Fluence Pickups
- Does roasted necks really work? Let's find out by putting this guitar into the fridge.
- Rob once said something about a Gibson that really inspires him to write music. Inspiring gear! Whatever puts a big smile on your face
Whatever you do, never give up being stupid =D
luciano all excellent suggestions! You should work for Andertons!
Good suggestions! Especially like the 'same solo' idea. And I think they should combine two of your suggestions into 'The Captain makes a random customer uncomfortable helping them buy a rig'.
I can answer the roasted necks question as I just had to tell a mate that his new roasted maple neck was backbowed beyond saving and had to go back.
Great ideas! Would be awesome to see
These are great ideas
all great ideas, 2 and 3 especially for me
You guys do just fine being yourselves, much respect from the States 😁
I just want to say that Andertons, Lee, Chappers, Rabae, and all the others, have helped me A LOT in many difficult moments. In many complicated circunstances I looked and I found, good confort in these friendly and lovely people.
Just a big THANK YOU TO YO ALL
The great joy for me has been to see the musical growth of the captain. I think it’s fair to say ur skill has improved at least 10 fold from ur early videos. I find that inspirational. Probably not what ur endgame was starting out but thank you for everything you do for the advancement of guitars,gear and music in general.
Every time Lee swats a beach ball...😂
I 100% came to andertons because of the videos. Any guitar or guitar related purchases I wouldn’t go anywhere but andertons driven 4 hours there and back to buy a guitar. Love these guys my guitar journey wouldn’t of happened without them ❤️
I think one of the reasons these video help you sell is because as of now there are people like me, who have been watching for a long time, and grew their gear knowledge and also actually grew up watching you, so there is trust there, I trust you to tell me what I should and shouldn't spend my money on, because I have been watching since probably 2010/11, and I grew as a guitarist absorbing a lot of knowledge from you guys in a fun and non teachy way, I mean when I first started watching I had been playing for a couple of years and now I'm attending music college and really serious about it, a lot has changed but I'm still watching every video, so I guess to end this rant, thank you so much for all the years of fun and music, and for all the products I've bought, you have impeccable customer service, hope you guys continue long into the future!
You guys are the reason I’m still playing guitar. I had a bunch of guitar gear sitting around the house that I hadn’t touched in years, and I had to decide whether I wanted to sell it or get back into playing. Watching your videos made me decide I wanted to resume playing. I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey with you over the years.
soon to be 10 years of lee and chappers! A possible celebration is due in the new year it seems
Free guitars to every one of their subscribers! :D
Thank you for everything you guys do!
thanks for making this video! love knowing the backstory. I've been following for about 4 years,so there is a lot I've missed. keep up all the great work...God bless!
Thank you for all the fun!
Anderton's is probably my favourite YT channel! Captain your playing has improved so much! Great rhythm playing in the intro jam!
i love this. ive stuck with you guys since the beginning. great to see how far you've come. absolutely the best gear videos out there
What a phenomenal team you guys are. I hope you never stop making these videos!
I rewatch you guys whenever there’s nothing new to be found and my favorites are the Miku demo for laughs and then the “Can Kemper Save Chappers” for genuine reaction gold. I may be across the ocean and half way through the US, but I absolutely LOVE you guys.
-Aaron
Your tones are both sensational and might I add captain your playing has been fresh lately dammmmmn, congrats on the long friendship gents
You two are great! Keep them coming. Thanks so much.
Love your work, Don't stop.
I'll never forget watching you guys demo the Mesa Rectoverb 25 and thinking about how uncomfortable the Mesa rep looked. He clearly was not entertained by your tomfoolery, or so I thought. A year or two later that Mesa Rep was hired on to your staff. #thedane.
Wasn't that the Cabulator-Gate episode?
Probably one of the best decisions Lee made for the channel. Pete helps make it what it is.
I will definitely keep watching for the next ten years. Thanks for all the entertainment, guys! Keep it up :-)
This reminds me of so many of your great videos! It makes me want to trawl through the old videos again!
Keep up the fantastic work
Thanks for all the vids Lee & Rob, may you never stop!
Enjoyed the trip down memory lanes
Literally my favorite channel on the internet. Been watching and learning for years.
Please keep the videos coming. You guys are the best!
Thanks guys! Keep on Rockin
Truly glad you made that phonecall! Made something very special! =)
You guys absolutely NEED to do "Chappers and the Captain: Live On The Road"
Lots of great entertaining videos! Thanks and please keep em coming!
Your videos are some of my favorites on TH-cam. So happy I found you guys. Here’s to another ten years!
“That’s when we knew... that we were both stupid!” Best line to explain the appeal of Anderton’s videos everrrrrr!! 😝
I’ve just had a sick idea. You don’t have to pay me or give me credit. Just run with it,
World Cup of guitars.
Rounds from the major countries to decide which guitar represents that country, brands from that country.
Then the countries compete.
Guitarolympics.
Better yet, you could have different weight classes, budget, mid range, expensive.
You could do ones for bases and acoustics too.
Just a thought. 👌🏼
Two words:
*_FUCK YES._*
Wouldn't America just win, though? At least for guitars and amps. They are just so diverse and world class. I'd like to see it for sure but it just seems like USA would be #1 without much conpetition
@BeTheDeathOfMe perhaps, I suppose amps depends on your style of music. Between Fender, milkman, tone king, Mesa boogie, Dumble...I know a lot of those are boutique but I think fender and Mesa boogie would put up a fight. Two rock too. Just a thought. But I like the conversation
Fuck me, that is epic!
@@ScopedDawg english would win for best amps
Great video guys. So much fun watching you both :)
The channel is always entertaining, engaging, and informative. You guys work great together and each video is a blast to watch. I know Andertons has a lot of fans from across the pond. Keep up the great work guys and doing your own thing because IT WORKS!!!!
Miku is obvious. Two personal favorites are the gig bag test with prototype and reject Chapman guitars and perhaps the first Xmas special. Seeing the loaded bags drifted out second story windows was hilarious. The Christmas special I'm thinking of had the elves and Hannah confused presence for presents. :D
Are you me?... That's some of the first stuff I watched as well. - The "more presents" joke was so good. XD
The vid where you turned on all the pedals you were demoing was a gem 🤣
Thanks for all the years, man. Best guitar-dream-team on the web. I hope for many more years.
I am so proud and honored to be your viewer/fan ever since you channel began. All videos you remembered brought nostalgia to me.
Keep it up and God bless!
Flip Flop Suicide was my favorite. Some of the best web entertainment I've experienced on this channel. Thanks Guys.
I just watched that video yesterday because I remembered how hilarious it was. 😂
What was the actual video title? Flip Flop Suicide doesn't come up in search on Andertons' or Rob's channel?
Randall Parker it was the squier classic vibe video.

@@calebhendrix4664 thanks
Would 10000% pay to see a chapters captain live thing
I remember discovering you guys about 2 years ago and I've been an Anderton's channel addict since. Cheers to both of you for keeping my guitar fire stoked!
Glad y'all met. This has been one of my favorite channels since I've found it.
I always thought that a tele fits Lee so well.
People buy from you cause they like you guys! You
Can get instruments everywhere, but not always from people who play them and are totally honest with their stock
Wonderful video! Love to hear the backstories!
You guys are by and far the greatest thing about TH-cam. I just started watching your videos and can't quite get enough of them. If I'm ever in England again going to Anderton's is on my bucket list! Thank-you so much for such entertaining videos!
As someone that researches most purchases before I buy.
And as someone who loves Steve Vai/Joe Satriani/Eric Johnson types of guitar players. And who found Anderton's after looking up Steve Vai Bee Keeper video (His son posted a vid with his hives that I thought was cool) and happened to see Andertons channel in the sidebar I think the video I discovered first was "The Captain meets Paul Gilbert" (Who is another Player I like a lot).
I want to say thanks for the informative vids. I am not able to get out as much as I like and channels like this help to sort thru a lot of fluff. And while I am in the U.S. I want to say that I definitely use Andertons vids as a shopping references. So any brands that make it in Andertons vids take note. Even if you do not or cannot shop Andertons, they do a lot of advertising thru this channel.
I'm still waiting for the Cd LIVE AND IN YOUR EYES!
Jason Langford Agreed, that was one of the boys’ funnier moments.
Do you guys know the video?
I feel nostalgic, in a nice n beautiful way. Thanks for all the content guys
I loved this video, you two really are watchable! So entertaining and I laughed my ass off to those highlights from the past. Keep going strong!
Live shows would be amazing. Rob and The Captain are basically the Top Gear (Clarkson, May and Hammond) of the Guitar world.
I always thought they met on grinder!
Lmao
I discovered this channel a couple of years ago and it helped me become interested in gear and music again. These guys have brought so much fun into learning about gear that it just pulled me in. I hope this channel continues forever and ever until the end of time. Thanks so much guys! Everyone at Andertons is the best.
Thank you gentleman for all of this years of fun, gear and entertainment! I’m here with you since the very “Gibson vs Epiphone “ vídeo and the Chappers world guitars videos!
You’ve been great! You’ve been here always, in the best and worse moments in our lives through these years!
Thank you!
The Miku pedal is one of the best videos you guys have ever made!
Now that the year is 2019, I just gotta say, "Happy 10th Anniversary!"
thanks guys keep it up another 10 years
I think that your channel is hugely successful not only because you guys are a great duo and have a great chemistry, but also because you guys are great players and are really able to demonstrate the versatility of the gear you demo. Love you guys, keep up the good work.
This is a real spooky video!!!
Captain didn't aged at all!
Proof that he's a vampire!!!!
🤣
Absolutely, the only reason I even know who Andertons is, is these videos. It might not convert to sales directly but the brand awareness is huge. I am in Australia and I bought a Variax from you because I thought, "I wonder what deal they can do. I'll give them a shot". It worked out only slightly cheaper than I could have bought it here in Australia because of import duty but the guitar arrived in my hands within 10 days of ordering it and I've not had any problems with it so I'm well happy. Now our GST laws have changed so it doesn't work out quite so cost effective these days. Still watch your videos though.
Did you get the Shurikan model?
@@PanasonicTooth Nah, this was before the Shuriken came out. I got the JTV-59.
I enjoyed this video. It's awesome so see such amazing friendship between these two. They seem like nice people. Keep up the great work and keep on rockin!
Your videos are always entertaining. The best part is watching you both crack each other up.
So basically Captain made Rob do Slash and thus the channel was born.
You explained perfectly 😁
Digging that Ballad of John Henry under Rob's leads
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who caught that.
Yes!!!👌👍
Great to see you guys still going stronger than ever the best TH-cam duo ever and one to lift someone Spirits if they’re having a bad day after the day job
Love the channel, always puts me in a good mood. One of my favorite episodes “lee and chappers buy a les Paul.” Would love you see another one of these with maybe a tele! Thanks guys!
