Cal B & Rocko Cat
Добавлен 3 янв 2021
Welcome to my hobby channel for electric guitar, assorted gear and some stop motion. Like and subscribe if you wanna. This is an amateur channel done for some fun. I picked up my first lefty electric guitar in December 2020 at aged 60 two months after my wife suddenly passed. Can this old lefty guitar newbie get through the loss of his life long love by picking up guitar? Can a young cat named Rocko help out? Can Stop Motion videos be entertaining at all? So many questions; so many unrelated videos.
Santa Claus Lives in Oslo!!
This is poking fun at the Canada Post Strike here in December 2024. Yep, I sang the song. Thanks to Pixabay for the opening screen and to Google Earth for the moving map.

Hahaha that's funny! The canada post thing is less funny! Pain in the ass really hahaha! Hope it comes to an end soon!
@@j-man9457 Me, too. Too many rural areas affected without any services.
Great video and song Cal B and Reeldin58👍
@@__Anton__ Thanks very much, Anton! 🎄🎸
Does the ja60 compare to a squire? Looking forward to the reveal!
@@jr5750 I never tried the Squier, so I can't say. Thx for commenting!
was hopping this was going to be "bye bye blue offset blue guitar, drove my Benton to Edmenton and sold it to some guy..."
@@SearchingForTone Good one, Brian! In the end, it's 3 Harley Bentons for 1. Whatever shall it be?🎄🎸😄
Hmmm, 🤔. I'm curious to know what's better, just like Ted
@@2bikemikesguitartopics145 Saturday night or Sunday morning for its appearance!
Hi Cal, so it's all looking good for a dream upgrade at the weekend. It's all falling well into place. Some things are meant to be and fate always lets you know. I'm watching this space for mor news.
@@Reeldin58 This has been a long week!! Soon!!!🎄🎸
I know how that feels, I had to wait the best of a couple of months from the time I first saw Cherry Wine. It seems to take forever!
@@Reeldin58 Soon....🎄🎸
Wow that is a nice one! You sure are clearing them out!
@@j-man9457 I'm getting a hopeful upgrade Saturday!
@calbrockocat8728 Wow cool man!
Ah, Harley Benton (sigh). What do you have coming in? Of course, I can just wait for the vid (smile). Have a great day, Cal.
@@TedTalksGuitars It's got be a surprise,Ted! Thanks for watching and commenting! 😁
@@calbrockocat8728 I am on the edge of me guitar stool (smile). Thanks for sharing your journey. Rock on!
Thank you, Cal. Your timing for this commentary feels heaven-sent! It has helped me realize some frustrations I've been having with youtube and refocus on why I'm doing what I'm doing. I really appreciate this more than you can imagine. Cheers 🎸😎
@@TonJager72 Thanks very much, Ton! I had to get this out and spread the word about how great the Community of Guitar is!👍
I think I might know who you're talking about. The desparation has gotten really frustrating and I've had to stop watching that individual
@@clairbeeguitar Thanks for watching and commenting, ClairBee! We are on the same page. RUclips Guitar channels ought to focus on the best parts of sharing their experience and keep it fun!
@calbrockocat8728 Seriously, What's the point of a hobby if it isnt fun? I was surprised to find out you make videos - went down a squier pro-tone rabbit hole and came across your video from a little while ago and remembered your name from Steve's chat.
Awesome lyrics and backing arrangement for 'Dickens Time Again', Cal B and Reeldin58! You guys really cheer me up!
@@jimmyjames2022 Thanks so much, Jimmy! We both have loads of fun working on these!🎄🎸👍
Awesome Job on this one! Liked the lead work on this one! Great tone all around! Great Job on the lyrics as well Cal! God Bless you buddy!
Thanks much, J! Rod's newest guitar is a Gibson Studio. It can really sing, unlike me. 😅
@calbrockocat8728 you're great at what you do man! Rock on!
Hi Cal, I love this. It's a joy to be a part of a new Festive song. We'll be having the Christmas number 1 next year if we carry on like this.
@@Reeldin58 Well Rod, if we reach for a Christmas Star... ⭐✨
@Reeldin58 great production..must of been fun..👍👍
Morning Cal how you doing . another awesome video thanks for sharing ATB Sam 👍
@@samsbudgetguitars830 All well, Sam! And all the best to you, too! Thanks much! This one was a load of fun, from making up the song and lyrics to putting together the video.
Many thanks to Rod @Reeldin58 for the rhythm section and lead guitar. Do check out his channel! youtube.com/@reeldin58?si=I7c9fPz1v7UoL4K7
I've gotten to know a lot of channel creators since I started, first thing I tell them is don't rush to monetization, and enjoy the ride. Monetization equates to about $6(U.S.) every 1000k views. Enjoy the ride. You should pop into our Stream such an awesome community, I try to have a structure and keep it to an hour but when the chat gets engaged it usually goes for 2 hours. Also trying to get people to chat on this thing called discord....I'm not good at socials, but starting to get some people chatting on it. Going to check out some of the channels you mentioned. I think at this point of my journey If I could sustain it I'd be happy. Email daily with some creators, fun back and forth in comments, and wish I started livestreaming sooner. Thanks for sharing your story
@@SearchingForTone Thanks, Brian. I hang at Steve's and John's where I think I tend to chat a little too much. 😁 I'll join you Wednesday night. 👍
@@calbrockocat8728 likewise, if I'm not listening and lurking. Steve is so kind to pop into mine even though its midnight for him. I enjoy Ben Coombs to Sunday and Monday night. He's also from your side of the border, enjoying Sweet Ts stuff. You may like this guy Charles75N he does fabric topping of guitars
Aha, now we're rockin! I was wondering the first edit of 50 years of Blue where that blues lead was, and here it is!
@@jimmyjames2022 Hi Jimmy! I know eh? Some guys! They forget to add the lead and poof! No so much of a song! 😔
Thank you, Cal, for sharing your heart and thoughts. I appreciated hearing more about your journey. Rock on!
@@TedTalksGuitars Thanks loads, Ted!
@@calbrockocat8728 I appreciated getting to know you a little bit. I don't have the know how to do a live stream nor the time where we could all hang out and as you said, we only have some much time. So hearing from you was a joy, brother. Rock on!
Love the blues man! And yes time flies! One thing is certain, music always remains!❤
@@j-man9457 Thanks, J!
Loved this Cal! Again thanks for the channel back ground shout out😊 however I don't think I deserve to be there with the other people you mentioned😮 those guys are really good, so I'm honored to be a part of your list!❤ I laughed at the part about guys promising to reveal the secret as opposed to just showing the damn chord 😂😂😂😂 I often thought and felt the same way lol! Appreciate the honesty! I too never ask people to Like & Subscribe! They know how RUclips works and they can subscribe if they want hahaha! And I hate channels who charge a premium to watch something! Drives me batty!😖 Cheers man! Keep rockin'!
@@j-man9457 Thanks loads for watching and commenting! This has been bubbling for awhile so now it's back to Christmas Time fun!
If it weren't for youtube guitar channels I'd never have found 'John Robson Guitar Tuition', if not for John's Beer OClock livestream I'd never have found Cal and Rocko Cat's great hobby channel, and then through Cal, found Reeldin58 too. You guys really inspire me, but I'm just slow get going. I'm actually left handed but my youth boarding school tried to convert me to right handed so I ended up ambidextrous, and then learned guitar right handed cause that was all that my friend/tutor had and I could. But watching left handed vids makes sense to me too so I like folks like Shane at 'In the Blues' too. BTW I think Landon Bailey lives at Kirkland Lake, he's mentioned it occasionally.
@jimmyjames2022 Thanks much for watching and commenting! I thought this video might be a little long, but what the heck! 🤔👍
Hi Cal B. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I agree, the social interactions are a great benefit. I'll check out some of the channels you mentioned too. Would love to see your lap-steel when built.👍
@@__Anton__ Thanks, Anton! I watch a little too much, but it's always interesting. The lap steel will take time, but it will get done!😃👍
This is my love letter to RUclips and, specifically The Community of Guitar that I have found and enjoy immensely. Freeze the screen when you see a channel and look them up. They are all worth watching! 🎸🎵🎶🎸
Sweet 50 Years of Blue song and vid, Cal! Reminds me of the love of my life of long ago, where life went a different way, now she's passed on. No regrets though, we both had great kids, just with different partners, and I still remember her. Glad to see Lego Rocko at the end.
@@jimmyjames2022 Thx Jimmy. This is for a girl I met when I was 14. It was all one way. Ah, youth! 😁
Hi Cal, what a cool little amp. I'd love to hear it with the Cube Baby in front of it. For that kind of price I didn't expect it to sound as good as it did.
I put up a short doing exactly that!😂
Wow! Great job guys! That was quite the production!❤❤
@@j-man9457 Thanks, J! Always a good time trying out these things. In January, I'm going to be able to dedicate a room for it. Better lighting will help a lot!! 😃
@calbrockocat8728 fantastic!
Hi Cal, it was a joy to be a small part of this. I'd never have the patience to make a stop motion video, it must take you forever. Love it.
@@Reeldin58 It is always my pleasure to collaborate with you. Doing these are challenging fun! 😺🎄😀
Good job, very festive and joyous! I'm getting old I can't remember what piece that was in Reeldin58's cover? Was that Lego Rocko Cat I saw on top of Old Frosty, next to Easter Bunny? So many questions, like shoulder mounted rocket...
@@jimmyjames2022 Thx, Jimmy! Reeldin58 put together the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. And, yes, I dyed Rocko white and used the shrink ray on him for the video. Man, was he angry!!! 😅😜🎄

Little budget practice amp Joyo JA02 really cranks out a useable tone. Model number is a little confusing cause at Joyo website the 'JA-02' is something else. Very nice Godin Exit 22 there Cal, guess it's a defunct model now. I saw Rocko inspecting the setup there, Supervisor always has to put in an appearance. (The unedited portion gave us time to look at your collection.)
@@jimmyjames2022 Thx Jimmy! Yup, the Godin Exit 22s is discontinued, but it has good looks and sounds. I enjoy how Rocko steals scenes! This little amp is crazy for the price!
Jeepers! Seems pretty loud for that little amp and that little cash! I like the belt clip / guitar strap feature 😀
@@j-man9457 I think to start learning it may be just the thing! Clean isn't that good to me, but the OD setting works well! Small, but loud! 📢📢
An unedited look at a super affordable mini amp from JOYO. The JOYO-02- Watch, listen and be surprised at what 22 bucks Canadian can get you. This proves to me that edited is better. Way less wasted screen time.😅
That's alot of sanding man!😮 Man that dog can sing hahaha!
You can't beat a Canine Crooner! And, yup, it was a lot of sanding! It used to have plants on it, so water damage. Got rid of all of it with a lot of sanding!
I was wondering if it's plywood under all that... But then the singing St Bernard scared me away.
Yeah, I think it is. 😅
So you turned over a new leaf, eh, Cal? It's good Rocko Cat helped you decide against the cricket bat, cats are so great at noticing details. But, even more suspense now!!
@@jimmyjames2022 Nice 1!! I thought I could squeeze it all in until I really looked at it.
Record via "Loopback" in audacity is much easier.
@@ChristopherMichaelMusic Yes, but then again I would have to know what I was doing. I will check out that feature! Thanks, Christopher!!
Hey you are learning lots! Great use for the table leaf hahaha! Great idea!
@@j-man9457 Thx much for looking in, J! Sometimes, your eyes don't lie!! 😂 If I can saw this right, I will be in business!!
Hi cal that's brilliant
@@MrChris5254 Thx very much, MrChris!
HI Cal, catching up on these. I read at Chordpulse that there's no audio output just MIDI, yet you are playing the Chordpulse output direct through the THR10 speakers (as audio interface). Is this right? Or is there a bare bones audio output, but also MIDI if you want to soup it up in post. (from 2 yr old vid)
Thx Jimmy! I was able to use a mic on the THR10C to record into Audacity. From there into a MP3. Lately, I export from Audacity as a WAV file.
@@calbrockocat8728Thanks for info. I use FLAC when exporting audio in Audacity. It's lossless compression saves a lot of disk space versus WAV. Looks like Clipchamp has no FLAC codec, just WAV.
Another awesome festive collaboration, thanks again Cal B and Reeldin58, sure are chasing my SAD away! Was that Easter Bunny trying to upstage Santa? Naughty bunny...
@@jimmyjames2022 Thx, Jimmy!! That bunny gets hoppity out of season! 😂🤣
Nice one man! Love the snow! Still just rain here, but there is hope for Friday! Hahaha Merry Christmas to you!
@@j-man9457 Merry Christmas and thanks, J! Been a lot of fun getting these done. (Crooning in front of a mic is new to me, so it's scary, too!) 😆

Check out Rod's awesome whistle carol here: ruclips.net/video/V_pLcFiiISI/видео.htmlsi=UEVSFPwdHLBW7oQ0
Hi Cal, this is perfect to begin the festive animation posts. Every year I've watched your festive posts and would love to be part of the fun. I'll follow your lead and put them on my channel on Fridays. I have a whistle tune Wednesdays so I think Friday would be better than Thursday for me. That gives me a festive post Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
@@Reeldin58 Hi Rod, great idea. Love your new carol!
Awesome and very ambitious Snowball Massacre production and soundtrack Cal B and Reeldin58! Disappointed to hear you're not Vincent Price, for a minute I had hope there might be a 'Dr. Phibes Rises Yet Again'. (I missed when Price was hosting Mystery, while in Northern BC with no cable tv).
@@jimmyjames2022 Thx, Jimmy! This was loads of fun to do. Loved him in Alice Cooper's Welcome to My Nightmare.
Wow! Lots going on on that one! That must of taken some work to complete! Very cool man.... All we got here in 2023 was rain! Hahaha
Weird. My reply didn't come up. Yeah, J, it took about 8 hours of shooting over a few days, but it's always fun!
@calbrockocat8728 Wow! That's crazy! I don't always know how things get done necessarily, but I always recognize and respect time and effort put into something! Nice one!
Hi Cal, I laughed out loud when you said "I'm not Vincent Price" Love it.

So long to your pretty looking, nice sounding Harley Benton! Congrats on selling so quick, you have a hot used market there. Are you without a P90 guitar now, Cal?
@@jimmyjames2022 Yah, Jimmy! No P90s now, but I never say never. I'm going after an upgrade that makes me sell guitars. If I get near what I want, it'll happen pretty quickly. Right now, it's the waiting game!
