I got more information out of hearing Rob Chapman in 36 minutes than hours of watching the "others"...I'll leave it at that. I am confident that, if I watch additional videos of his, I will know what I need to know to experiment with equipment and sound so that I am more likely to pick up a guitar than put one down. Thanks, Rob, for motivating me to go in the direction I have been seeking. I am in the market for a guitar and you have narrowed the choices considerably and it appears to be a "no-brainer". All that remains is for me to get the best deal on the guitar I want.

This is the best and most wholly inclusive video for beginners I have ever seen. I actually can't believe this video doesn't have more views. This should be seen by everyone starting out.

"The rod is in there ... Truss me" (*Applause*) That's the best joke I've ever heard

Thank you so much for this. A lot of videos on KZread from pro players ignore basic stuff like this and as a beginner this type of information is very valuable. I learned so much from this little video and I'm grateful that you took the time to introduce he basic elements of your setup and various guitars. Rock on!

I've for years, wanted to learn to play electric guitar, and as a life-long electrical engineer, I can't wait to start making my own effects loops. I have vast expertise in analog and digital signals analysis, decoding, etc. I also have to equipment to analyse specific signals, and know how to convert a raw signal, into whatever I'm looking for, down to the nth order harmonics. Fortunately, my comfort with impedence, total harmonic distortion, etc is quite good. I suspect that much can be accomplished, on an experimental basis, with a laptop and a good I/O card, and my own designs in circuit boards. I just wanted to thank you. I've decided to spend my money on a good guitar, and good lessons, as well as having tons of time to practice. I will, in time, spend the money necessary for a good rig, probably starting out with a Blackstar, initially. But, thanks very much, this video as it is a cornerstone in my research.

"The rod is in there.... TRUSS me" Hahahahah

Rob, the "leave the switch on standby for 5 minutes" thing is all bologna! 1 minute is fine, but in reality, the standard warm-up time for tube filaments is 11 seconds, and there's no real advantage to turning the amp with standby on or not in MODERN amps. Now, here's the story behind why Standby switches really exist: The Standby Switch was originally implemented because of cost restraints. Tube amps need high voltage to work, and the power supply uses components called Capacitors, that are used to remove hum from the supply. Back in the day, high-voltage capacitors were pretty expensive, so as a way to keep amps affordable, they used ones rated to as close to the supply voltage as possible (example: if you have a 380v supply, you'd use 400v capacitors). Problem is, when the tubes are cold, the supply voltage is higher, because the tubes aren't pulling electric current thought them yet, which meant that it could go above what the capacitors were rated at, and therefore damage them (aka KABOOM). Since the manufacturers didn't want to raise the prices of their products by putting higher voltage capacitors in their amps, they decided to add a "standby" switch (which were much cheaper than capacitors), so the tubes could warm up before high voltage was applied to them, therefore saving the capacitors! Hooray! Pretty smart move back then, but kinda pointless today. Nowadays, high-voltage capacitors are pretty commonplace and cheap (heck, every computer power supply uses them!), and as a rule-of-thumb, most circuit designers will choose ones rated at least 1.5x to 2x the maximum voltage of the circuit, as to guarantee a longer and safer life to their products. Standby switches are nothing more than a novelty that we don't really need anymore. There's other things I personally feel could be modernized in tube amps, but I really thinkg the sandby switch is the most simple and pointless of them.

This video both helped me choose what my first electric should be (I went with a Classic Vibe tele), but it also helped me decipher what all these terms meant when I would go on forums and they'd talk about all these different guitars. The thing I love about this video is that it's really basic, but you don't talk down to the people watching like some other people who have tried to make similar lessons. All these tuition videos are awesome Rob.

Rob really has a knack with teaching stuff. Very clear and concise.

Thanks for that mate! Take care of your voice! Cheers!

GOOD JOB ROB !,.... If u speak English as your 1st or 2nd language , half of the planet just got an Excellent, concise, full featured Primer,.... I've played for thirty years, this is one the best introductions, I've seen EVER ! A lot of info in a short time. very, very, good,.... suggest to new players, I will

Thank you Chappers!! I learned a lot and will be happy to any other of your videos related to begginer's subjects!

Been playing for a couple of years, but it has still helped to expand my guitar vocabulary and what to look for in a guitar.

A 335 should be included in the original electric guitar list.

Definitely, that's a very blatant abscence... The 335 is one of the pillars of Rock'n'Roll

Wish we had such great introductions 25 years ago.

Fantastic video. Just starting out alongside my son and haven’t seen anyone explain the basics like this. Thank you so much.

Thanks Rob! Honestly I wish I watched this video when I started! It's one of the more informative videos I've had the pleasure of watching. Well done!

To sum up, get a Tele as your first electric. Nah, seriously, I'd say: 1-Less is more with budget guitars (simpler bridges for instance) 2-Don't get carriled away by the looks 3-The scale of the guitar is perhaps the biggest factor to consider (Google it and take your time to test different stuff) along with the feeling of the neck 4-once you get your first, take care of the action and intonation (learn about it and/or take it to a guitar tech)

Thanks for doing this video. It will definitely help a lot of people. Now could you follow it up with a beginners guide to achieving some basic good rock sounds.....?

Great basic starter information, especially for those of us adding the electric to our musical journey, and who started on the acoustic.

This is a great video. I've been playing guitar for 50 years. I get guitar questions all the time. Great job explaining in simple easy to understand concepts. This video should be shown to every beginner to intermediate guitarist. It should be standard in any guitar lesson facility. Seriously.!!! In a little over half an hour you have delivered years worth of "finding out bit by bit" how it all works. Super impressed.

For the beginners, getting your face ripped off is a good thing in this context.

ive been playing guitar for nearly five years and iv'e still learned from this. Keep up the good work!

This was just awesome. I truly learned a ton. Thank you for doing this video!

God that Les Paul is hot af

Sir, you can't fuck a guitar

What a brilliant easy to understand explanation. Just bought my first electric guitar and this video has inspired me. Thanks Rob.

Thanks so much for this mate. Really useful, just bought my first electric after a year of playing acoustic. this was invaluable. Great presenting. What a good bloke! Cheers Chappers!

I made my cousin watch this video because he's been interssted in playing for years and jealous that i can play, 10 minutes after the video he went to andertons and ordered a squier starter kit

As far as plectrums (picks) I have found that it isn't thickness that is most important, but density. For instance, I use the Jim dunlap Jazz III plectrums. I find them to be very comfortable in my fingers, have a very sharp point for articulation, and they're very solid. They're less than a millimetre thick (approximately .88mm- .9mm) but it's made from a plastic that is so dense that it doesn't bend. This makes for a solid attack whilst playing as well as longevity of the life of the surface that contacts the string. Plus it also prolongs the life expectancy of my strings as I found in my 30 years experience, that usin 1mm and thicker picks just pounded the tone right out of them. But like Chappers had pointed out, the one that feels, sounds, and ultimately works for you IS the correct choice. P.S. Some amplifiers do actually have their effects loops on the front pannel, but they are most often found on the rear pannel. P.P.S. Great vid Chappers, take care of your voice, and enjoy the rest of the tour!!

That's a very important factor. I have a few picks and I remember being a bit annoyed by the fact that one of them bends easily compared to others (1mm was my preferred thickness at the time). Speaking of Jazz III-style plectrums, I absolutely love Planet Waves Black Ice picks (a bit thicker than 1mm and slightly bigger than a regular ol' Jazz III).

Brilliantly informative! Thanks from one Rob to another!

Real nice video, Rob. Very clear and informative and you have a great style presenting. This is a great level at which to pitch this kind of info. Much appreciated.
