    I like how Gus G can just sit there cross legged, nice and relaxed, shredding guitar 1398x better than I will ever be able to.

    Gus is one of those guitarists that can like shred for just 30 minutes straight and still keep u interested

      Guitar God haha he did alright but he's no gus

    • @guitargod9881
      @guitargod9881 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      anussplittingbearcok yeah I guess, they are two totally different guitarists. at least they can both shred, ok I have to be honest. I think chappers is the same skill level as gus. you should watch some of his videos. he can really play. but like I said before its my opinion

    • @guitargod9881
      @guitargod9881 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      anussplittingbearcok oh and by the way from 2:22 to 2:48 they are playing the exact same thing. it kinda supports my opinion from before

  • @cyclonefan34
    @cyclonefan34 10 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    I'm definitely a fan of gus's. Not even because of his playing skills, but because out of all his lessons and instructional videos I've watched, he just seems like a laid back humble guy.

  • @bohdilama

  • @MrOzgooner
    @MrOzgooner 9 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Well finally we get to see Gus doing his thing in a more personal way.. For those haters out there that call him just a shredder...He's a little more than that, ..His technical prowess, flawless technique and speed is amazing and commands respect !
    He's a perfectionist and it really shows !

    i've never really gotten why gus g is such a big deal but this video along with a couple others i've seen of him are just insane... it's not even the fact that he really is that good i get that but its like he's not even trying, like he's not forcing anything its just so clean. nuts.

  • @SinsAscendant
    @SinsAscendant 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Gus is an amazing guy, I met him after the first date in the Uk tour. He could not have been nicer. Huge tour manager was telling him to talk to us after he'd been cleaned up but he ignored him and came over to chat an took a picture and signed the few against many cd I had. He really is an inspiration.

    @ 3:05, the way Gus casually glances over at Chappers while shredding the bejesus out of his guitar, laidback, legs crossed, in a big ass plushy sofa.

  • @lyndonhamilton1584

  • @thebassistsoldier
    @thebassistsoldier 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Anyone else notice how, at 2:22, when Rob and Gus are playing, Gus is just sitting back relaxed and almost nonchalantly shredding his guitar, and then Rob's moving, head-banging a bit, really enjoying himself and matching Gus note-for-note? I don't know which guy I'd rather be like...

  • @One1Reef

    @gab.lab.martins 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Gus is such a down to earth guy, and I'm always amazed by how clean his fast licks sound. Not too much pick noise, you can hear every single note perfectly. I'm not really a fan of Blackstar amps, though, I think they sound too compressed on high gain tones.

  • @AlanAlvRod94
    @AlanAlvRod94 10 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @GuitarBillCurran
    @GuitarBillCurran 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    All EQ controls on 10! I like to start with them all on 10 and then cut the treble down to about half or less. Sometimes I start with just the bass at 10 and the mid and treble at 0, find the right volume for the fattest bass tone and then add the mids in till it grinds then throw a bit of treble on top for some sizzle.

    @zaz4667 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    A year ago I bought a used Blackstar Blackfire Gus G. Pedal then took it out of the box and played it for a couple days. Put it back in the box and just reopened the box today. The factory rubberized finish is all tacky. Like fly paper. It is so severe it leaves deep finger prints in the rubberized finish really deep if you even barely touch it! A quick google search shows other people are having this problem! Love the sound and tone but I am going to have to sell it!

    • @2010LesPaulStudio
      @2010LesPaulStudio 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you pay attention to this whole video, the only time Gus shows any emotion while he is playing is when he's ripping the blues. That says a lot for blues music.

    I just meant that every time i watch Chappers, he seems to love playing guitar. He always seems to enjoy playing. I am by no means trying to insult Gus, he's a phenomenal guitar player, and I like the new Ozzy songs I've heard. What I meant is I really respect Rob for his passion in playing, teaching, and learning. Maybe i just don't know enough about Gus to make judgements. Maybe it's because he's from greece and english is his second language.

    @Chord_The_Seeker 10 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    The amp sounds amazing, but unless somebody hires me to play stadiums soon, I can't see the need for 200 watts. If I tried to turn that up in my house, the ceiling would fall and the police would come and take my guitar gear, which would make me sad :(.

    • @drhiramsuarez
      @drhiramsuarez 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      The main reason of the output power, is because that amp uses a quartet of KT88, which actually requires a shitload of power. I've seen 100w and 120w amps running two KT88s and one 12AX7 in the power section so they can fit that power range (100-120w). Anyway, I've heard a Bogner Twin Jet (running at 150w) and a Plexi clone with KT88 (running at 200w), and man, they just blew me away. Powerful, thick and articulated sound.

    • @Chord_The_Seeker
      @Chord_The_Seeker 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Like I said, it sounds incredible, but there's no way I could turn it up enough to get the sound of it I'd want. I'd have to build a special sound-proofed room in my house.

    • @drhiramsuarez
      @drhiramsuarez 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Chord TheSeeker Agree. Go for a Carvin V3. You can run it at 25, 50 and 100w.

    • @larrytate1657
      @larrytate1657 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @LordBransty
      @LordBransty 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I used to think that, so stuck to 15 watt amps. Even they were too loud to play in my apartment. However, after watching videos by a youtube player called matt robinson, I bought a 100watt Blackstar head. I play it at low volume in my house, and it's amazing. Way better than my axe fx and kemper. I can't wait to plug in when I come home from work.
