Every time I hear the Captain play I swear he gets better, I really wish we could hear more of him in other videos. It's always all about Rob (not that Rob isn't also a brilliant guitarist), but I really prefer the Captain's playing. Turn him up a bit.
This is rob's channel. not to mention that they both play in every video.
Anderton has his own channel.
He's been down the ole crossroads at midnight. Definately got a killer blues sound going on there, very nice indeed.
He's getting better at Improv because they've stated they dont rehearse anything so there ya go. I'm sure he's even better given time and an exact playlist
I think they both play about of the same amount per video. the Capt knows all the spec stuff of the gear and does the talking (and selling) and Rob demonstrates them. But you're right, Lee plays really good but when they jam together, now that sounds absolute fantastic and I always like the jam the most.
This editing getting more and more hilarious with each video!
I bought the actual Les Paul shown on screen at 3:55 and 4:08. Love it!
Lucky bastard
Those sounds/visual effects additions are hilarious.
I have no idea why but it occurred to me around 7:05 how much different humans are than animals. I'm just sitting here watching Lee play those blues, and I look over at Rob and he's just sitting there watching Lee play those blues, and then I think about how many 10's of thousands of people all over the world are taking a specific moment out of their life to just stop and watch Lee play those blues.
It's extremely fascinating and trippy. People will say whales and birds sing, etc etc, but pods of whales and flocks of birds don't gather around to hear 1 whale or 1 bird sing for a period of time. That difference is virtually infinite.
it's like a huge stadium watching something so simple yet inspiring isnt it=)
It's because Chappers is closer to the primeval earth spirit as he is the Monkey Lord

That's a cool observation!
I think it's because those of us "genuinely nice" people in this world WANT to see other nice people succeed. Regardless of what Lee is playing and how he plays, we all want him to sound good (the same goes for Rob). Other animals don't have the attention span that we have, and therefore, they don't necessarily have the ability to care about these type of things.
That lemon burst is just beautiful. great choice.
It's funny, you look at the options for a Les Paul and it's almost entirely a bunch of rather similar bursts. And a solid amber, a black and a gold top. That's it. But you get it and you're like... oooooh! And then you play it and you're like wow!
The one in this video sounds great. Rock on! \m/__o__\m/
+mnbme as far as I'm concerned they're all beautiful. it's a classic design.
Always a joy watch Bea play...
As Chappers play, you can just see the Captain thinking "He's roughing up my gal"! :-D
he would never say that
It was because of that vid where Chappers and Lee bought their Les Pauls that actually persuaded me to go and buy my very first Les Paul after 20 years of playing. I made a vid of it on my channel. I'm totally in love with it.
Hearing the Captain play is always a welcome treat. I really love watching these guys just geek out.
LOLOLOL that telephone part cracked me up so hard... :D:D:D and also ofc great vid chap and capt!!
falling in love with a guitar is better than falling in love with someone:') guitars love you unconditionally forever
Jack Alker A guitar is brutally honest , it tells no lies and never puts up a false facade..You get out of it exactly what you put into it....
+toob maniac Its so true. A guitar is just you. A guitar takes your personality and emotions and cuts out all that is fake and exposes you.
get a life
@@nocab28
(Except for everybody that uses a shit-ton of distortion.)
Don't forget they are also always in the mood to get down if you are.
These vids are sooo much more fun to watch with the funny editing. Love you guys!
Great editing on this one! I DIG !
I love how lee is looking over his guitar at every stage, you can tell he loves it!
Love your Vids Rob.. Hope I'll be lucky and meet you here in Malta :D
Great looking and sounding guitar and a good overview. Nice job guys.
Whoever is editing in the sound clips and funny pics is hilarious. Love these videos.
I really dig the editing, good sirs. :)
Capt... would you please expand into Canada. PLEASE. No guitar shop I've ever been into seems to have the "owner" kicking around, caring so much, running a real MUSIC shop. Most every guitar shop here, is the standard, corporate run, vanilla, (not setting up guitars the way you do for display), guys standing behind the counter ignoring you as they talk about last night's 'gig'. I get the sense this is a different sort of shop you run over there. Ever since I saw that you DO set up all the guitar before display, is shocking to me. The running joke here in Canada at least, is that no guitar in a guitar shop ever feels good. They all need a set up. But clearly yours get one before they hit the shop floor. The way a guitar shop should be. Cheers... and please come to Canada. Please. You'd put Long and McQuade out of business in 90 seconds.
I know right! I'm in the U.S, if I had the money I would take a trip there just to go to Andertons.
Agreed!!
For the first time ever, I'd really love to see a retailer like this, come into my country and CRUSH the local competition. Or drive them to up their game. But I'm as certain as I am of my own name, that a week in business here, would kill every other shop's business significantly. Think about it. Internet legends open a real guitar shop in your town. Anyone who plays guitar probably knows who these guys are. They'd eat L&M, Steves, Tom Lee's for breakfast. Trouble is, here nobody has a reason to be a better retailer. They all just piss and moan that people window shop and buy on-line. Well how about running a website from this century for starters and up your on-line presence with a decent, searchable, user friendly, (with pictures) website. Every website the shops run is a JOKE. But they complain about people buying on-line....??? Seriously?? It's 2015. Wake up. It seems Andertons have.
I feel for you guys. I live in New Mexico (usa) and the only shops around here are local ones. But luckily they guys there do like to help the customers and their prices are reasonable. And most of the guys know their stuff too!
You guys are way too kind! I like to run the store to a level where I'd want to buy stuff from us. It's a simple ethos but like you guys say, a lot of the bigger chains lose sight of this. I expect if we had 5-10 stores we would struggle to keep it up. And that's why (I'm sorry to say) we won't be opening a store near you any time soon!
Love the editing here mate, you're getting better and better at it. Funny and informative. Keep up the good work!
bit with the phone was creative. really really enjoy your vids guys.
I absolutely adore my R8. It’s my most prized possession, and I feel so honored to be able to call it my own and play on it every night. Mine is bourbon burst, and is a plain top. I would love flame, but I got it used at a great price, and couldn’t be picky. Mine stays in tune 100% of the time even I’m I’m cranking 1and a half step bends on the g string. It just won’t go out of tune. It’s a nice solid weight, but not too heavy. I just love it.
man, you guys are great.Love yushow.Enertaining informative and funny
This run of Green Lemon '58's are some of the best Les Paul's ever to come out of the custom shop. The specs are amazing, the phat necks are spot on, the playability and tone are first-rate and the mojo is absolutely phenomenal. The tops are great as well, nailing the colour expertly and the flame going from a near-plain top to era-correct flame. Great video lads--this coming from a former slim-taper fan!
It's always a special moment when a guitarist finds a guitar they absolutely adore. The name is also bittersweet, but well chosen
I love the editing in these videos. :'D
There is something about these ultra high end guitars that just inspire you to play much more than you would normally. I've owned dozens of guitars, some really nice ones, but they never spoke to me. So I just would kind of use them as a filler, when I had nothing else to do. If I had a few hours to kill, I would grab a guitar, noodle around, play over a backing track, whatever. But once I got my Les Paul Standard, it became my primary focus. Now, I plan time to sit and really work on something. On a Friday night, instead of going out and getting shitfaced with my buddies, I will stay at home, grab a bottle of wine, a few good cigars, and spend the entire night composing, studying, learning and it has become my passion. Before, it had never gripped me like that. I cannot explain why.
I can explain it lol, U spent a shitload of money on 1 guitar and U don't wanna regret buying it lol
CRACKHORSE123 That may have some truth to it. I spent a months wages on it and I feel like I should use the damn thing. But that is only part of it. It sounds and plays so great that it is actually inspiring. Who knows, it may be all in my head, but it is real!
you know what that tells me as a guitarist. you were before all about technique and how good the guitar looks. but the famous beast les paul brought out heart and soul. thats what les pauls do to us guitar players. it changes you and your playing. the les paul is the holy grail of all guitars strat fans XD
It's a joy to hear Rabea play! :)
lovely playing there captain! I love how happy you look with L-O-L-A :)
Most excellent choice & taste in git-fiddles Cap'n! Gear envy level critical. You guys have the best job ever! Much love from the U.S. of A.! \m/
those 58's look so awesome. And I love that you named it Lola to forever remember your dog :)
If I ever happen to stroll past the UK near Guildford on my daily walk around southern California I'll be sure to stop in. :p
Lee's vibrato was on point in this video! EXCELLENT!
Nice vibrato, Capt... Lovely guitar
One word to describe that guitar? GORGEOUS.
Just bought a JAckson SL2q pro and I am completely in love right now!
Beautiful!
Since Lee (and i myself a bit too) is a classic guitar fan here's what you could do. A comparison of "old" and new technology approaching the same matter. Custom shop, collector's choice, most expensive Les Paul, with thinnest nitro finish, with hottest hide glue and premium wood hooked up to a custom shop made, hand wired, p2p approved classic amp (Marshall JTM, JMP, JCM800?) vs a les paul standard joined with a tube amp build on modern PCB basis with chips, RAM and so on. Best thing would be to choose possibly the same amp model - custom shop reissue and standard production. It would be so hard to see such thing anywhere else.
Loved that phone ring edit x'D
stunning guitar, sounds awesome
You guys are awesome. Captain I'm digging your new Lemonburst LP. I particularly enjoyed "buying a LP each" video. There's nothing in life more fun than buying a new guitar. I agree on the neck profile thing. Gibson sure can carve a nice neck shape. A thicker neck contributes to more string resonance, as well as tuning stability too. Gotta go practice now so I can be as good as Chappers!! Keep em coming lads!!
You can tell that the Capt is excited about this guitar. I have a '59 Reissue Lemon Top and it's a monster. Hands down my go to guitar.
I really like that kind of top more - like where you can see more than a little bit of the grain of the wood coming through the flame - the not AAA flame look. really pretty look.
Man Rabbea's guitar skillz!! Awesome!
I'm kind of excited about the Orange, Vox, and Marshall miced up in the background. Seems like the makings of another blindfold challenge!!!
For whatever reason, I have always liked huge neck profiles since the day I started playing. It's the very reason I didn't play a Strat for the first 6 years (I came around eventually).
I am really liking the sound of this guitar. I lost a love for Les Pauls a while ago, but this has made me realize why I liked them for so long. Love it Captain!
What a lovely guitar.
Gorgeous Les Paul.
When are we hearing a Capt Blues Record???
i love hearing Captain and Chappers take turns on the exact same gear. same Paul, same amp, but in each of their hands it sounds like a completely different setup!
I also have a 58 VOS Les Paul lemon burst made in 2014. I absolutely love this guitar as well. I will pass this down to my grandson ... But not yet.
That bass tone at the end... So sick
That amp sounds killer too!
OH MAN! That Tobacco Burst is just awesome. I soooooooo want a Les Paul with a top picked by you my Capt! Then all I'd need to do is practice for another 20 years to get as good as you. I'd be 80 then but what the hell, I'd have the arms of me bath chair cutaway for clearance!
Thanks for the update. Was wondering how you had got on with the guitar.
Great choice, Captain! I hope you get to buy that gold top with the P-90s you were also considering!
p 90s suck man they sound like shit
The guy with the Afro had some really really awesome sounding riffs probably my favorite riffs of the video
Just bought one of those DSL 40 Combos a few months ago, it's freaking sick :)
Awww...Lola. I shed a tear for her and tip my head to her namesake. My she rest in guitar puppy heaven \m/
Awesome Paul Cap. I always say you can't go wrong with a Paul
Rebea is an amazing guitar player, very good at a lot of styles plus his instructional stuff looks very interesting.
Nice how he gave the spotlight to Rabea's business at the end to take the sting out of it... Classy move, Lee Anderton
Brilliant post-production on the phone effect. Loved it!
Wes Barber The guitar is cool too, of course.
Wes Barber Altiverb Speakerphone !
Captain, when the answering machine effect kicked in you sounded like C-3PO :)
I had an R0 and was always in two minds about the top... kinda got in the way a bit actually; always patting me own back and making comparisons to other guitars... Plain is fine by me - lov the 58 neck profile - great support you used to.
I've got one of these in sunrise teaburst just amazing so much better than a standard. If you get one you will not be disappointed!
ALL OF THEM SO PRETTY
Rob Chapman your editing has become so awesome!
My ‘58 lemonburst arrives in 2 days, cannot wait. It took me almost a year to find one that I really dug and that was in my $ range.
I got to visit the Gibson Custom Shop a couple of times. They are some super nice people who new a lot about their craft. Little interesting fact. The machines that press the tops for L-5's are the same one's they used back in the 20's. They converted them over from steam powered to electric.
I’m clueless when it comes time to how these feel to play. Hope one day my playing warrants such a sweet piece of gear. I love the way the plain top light flames look, somewhere close to pages #1 guitar.
Once upon a time a blue carrot lived with out getting its self licked by the wonderful wizard of Widle winks valley, in which beholds the secrets of the magical duck's diary
I'm intrigued. Please continue.
I feel like I must have to get high to understand that...
Jonathan Dean Wonder if that was off the cuff or does he write them down during a dream state. Altered states
Jonathan Dean I'm high and i don't understand it one bit man.
Profound good sir. I must know more!
I liked when Rob tuned up the low E string by grabbing the tuner instead of pushing a button.
BEA your the man awesome!!
Lemon bursts are the best! Great color!
Great upload
My second guitar was an Oscar Schmidt 12 string. I understand the feeling of just having your hands full. I love thick necked guitars. You guys are hilarious by the way. I love the challenge videos that you two do together.
Man that lick Rabea played in the end was soo cool lol
Got a handpicked 58 VOS with a stunning flametop recently... had to ged rid of two 2007 LP Classic Customs to afford it, but that was worth it. It's the best guitar I ever played. Proud to have the same one as the Captain!
Lee! You couldn't be much more excited. I don't believe that I've ever seen anyone so excited and had his "ENGLISH" so fouled up by it. I can't and won't bug you about it because I"m extremely jealous, dad gum it. Good luck with your new guitar. (Dam, I am jealous. What? 12 grand? Close?) Yea, you can hear the fun over the lines just fine, no worries.
I really enjoy these guys reviews. Love the playing too. Rob is an awesome guitarist. The captain indeed is cool too. Just an observation though; ever notice how much the cap wipes his nose? LoL.
"Talking about it for the last 4 hours" Sounds like me when I got my Gretsch white falcon :)
The thinnest, fastest neck ever made was the 1986 Kramer Nightswan. It was my first "real" pro level guitar I ever had, and my guitar hero was Vivian Campbell (with Dio) and I literally got my hand memory ingrained into my brain still to this day. I bought one off Ebay and as soon as I got it, it was like going home, it felt wonderful. You get spoiled and can't go back!
Love the guitar Lee, but do what Chappers & I did when my Gibbo arrived from Andertons, take the scratch plate off now !!!! 😎😎😎🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍
I'm currently looking at a '58 Lemmon 'Burst but I'm in holding mode, waiting on a few things to sell. They're not cheap!
I loved the neck though as soon as I picked it up and strummed the first chord.
I've always loved 58, 59 and 60's reissues, someday I'll be able to afford one lol. One thing that I've always wanted to hear is how the Custom Pickups of these custom shop compare to the traditional Gibson pickups, like burst buckers, classic 57, etc.
Why is the name lola 'tinged with sadness'? Did his dog die? :'(
Yup.
:'(
I was thinking of the song Lola by The Kinks so I was confused lol
i might be wrong, but i heard that some of lola's ashes have been put inside of the guitar's cavity
TomasDengel No you're right ;)
Production value on that Rabea instructional course is phenomenal. Reminds me of the Duolingo app that teaches language. Very cool.
really joy full vid
and bea and chap n dred lock dude. u guys are so fresh .
You guys rock... I've been quietly viewing every vid for YEARS!!! And I have a few observations... 1. Your reviews are the absolute best on YT, hand down. 2. I love listening to Rob play, one of my many vices. You are great, way better than I ever hope to be, RESPECT! However, every time Cap plays I find myself wanting more... love the style, love the chops... Cap you gotta play more in the vids!. 3. Rabea rocks... Dorje rocks... live! 4. Rob... bro.... come to Jesus meeting here... I am 38 years old.... I have always been a "long hair". Rock the long hair... but as I've aged the forehead has gotten bigger and the hair has gotten thinner... in 2012-13 I really let it go, full on long hair... my final hurrah!! But time and creeping forehead have taken their toll. I cut my hair, gave up the dream, and I could not be happier now! I have found that since my head weighs less... my rock is more!
lets do captain lee gear tour 2015..
Yeah man, Bea kicks ass!
Beautiful
Ice Tea Burst is just so so gorgeous.
they have a great chem thing going on best guitar show i feel on net !!
I agree with you lee.
Fatter necks grow to feel more comfortable, the more experienced you get at playing.
And of course there is the tuning stability and extra tone.
Don't be upset about that top on your les Paul though.
It's a one of a kind, subtle beauty.
I prefer the feel of a fatter neck, you can feel your playing alot more,
That's the way I feel about women
I apply the same logic when strangling hookers 👏🏻
Lenny Henry and that's the big problem I have. I enjoy steel beams when I play rythm and I love noodles when I play lead and the usual "skinny top heavy bottom" is clearly not enough
What song is rabea playing at the end
He loves it like a son!
