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.

You have some of the same magic that makes the Grand Tour/former Top Gear trilogy so good. Some mates having fun.

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 :)

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
