I hadn't played my guitar almost at all for maybe 10-15 years. Then I watched Bocchi, looked over at my guitar, saw that it was a black Les Paul epiphone that looks almost exactly like Bocchi's and thought "fuck it, that's destiny." Back in the game.
This man is 1000% cultured. Most people get the wrong type of guitar, and often don’t credit the people who made it all possible. Plus you described playing the guitar the most accurately so far on RUclips. Hope that les Paul suits you well man
@@MattyyyM as a long time Les Paul owner, the worst thing is the angle of the headstock. It is a straight up design flaw IMO, as guitars with a less angled headstock stay in tune much better.
Two of my friends watched bocchi and the rock and immediately decided to start a band, inviting my brother and I. Haven't seen it, but I'm super glad it exists.
This show had given me back my passion to play my drums again , especially the song "that band" and "flashbacker". Bocchi the Rock is still one of my top favourite shows up till now, hope cloverworks gives us season 2 😭
Yo! For Bocchi’s effect chain, you can see her board in episode 12 at 5:14 and at one more spot I believe. It looks like a Boss BD-2 (as you mentioned) as well as a ProCo RAT and also it looks like a Dunlop Crybaby GCB95 looping into a Boss MS-3 which is most likely where she’s getting her fuzz and rotary sounds from. I hope this was helpful 👍
and not only that, but when they make mistakes they don't just play a perfect performance and say that they're messing up, they're *actually* making mistakes and you can hear it, it's great
Bocchi speaks deeply to me, I think it speaks to any 30+ guitar player who spent his teenage years locked in his room playing more guitar alone than having human interactions and witnessing the birth of RUclips with people like Jerry C, wishing to play that good and be seen on the internet. The Ano Bando song specially is a banger with those lyrics and it makes me feel quite emotional. "I close my eyes there's a halo in the darkness I cover my ears there's a steady beating pulse within Deep in my chest my heart makes my body sway I don't want to hear anything else Nothing but the sounds I'm making" Congratulations on your Les Paul, I almost bought one that looked like this 8 or so years ago but in the end I got a PRS clone from a Korean brand as my H-H mahogany axe, still have it.
In the anime, it was left ambiguous if it was a reissue or not, but the in the manga it is clear that she is using a reissue due to the pickguard design, I think from the 70s but not 100% sure. She uses a jcm900 amp for the school festival show. And the amp she uses at the Starry doesn't look like jcm800 because of the imput jack, the jcm800 has two, while the Starry amp has one. I am not too familiar with marshall amps so I don't know what model the Starry uses. Although I know Kita uses a Roland JC120 with a foot switch to activate the inbuilt chorus that wasn't animated for some reason dispite Kita using the foot switch during the school festival show.
Bocchi the Rock has a special place in my heart. It helped me get through a rough time in my life, and as a result it motivated me to play guitar again. You could say that Bocchi the Rock changed my life for the better. Last year, I finally saved up enough cash and bought the Les Paul Custom directly from Gibson. I was surprised to find out that out of sheer coincidence, the certification date of my Les Paul Custom was on my birthday! Bocchi also has the same birthday month as I do, too. I overall love the Les Paul Custom. While it does indeed have its own quirks and oddities, I can't help but smile each and every time I play it. It's a part of me I can't let go of. Thank you for posting this video. I'm always glad to see Bocchi and her guitar get the love they deserve.
@@MattyyyM I appreciate it! Doing wayyyy better nowadays for sure. Guess I found out the hard way that I needed to get some music back into my life, LOL.
Important Amp correction. In the show, it's a JCM 900. You can tell this by counting the dials. 800's only have 6 dials, where as 900's have 10. The amp everything is recorded on (if it's a Marshall) is most likely a JCM2000 though, since that's the more readily available Marshall in Japan.
I started watching it last year january 2023 and before I knew it I picked up my first guitar in april which was a strat clone, its almost been a year and I've really enjoyed playing it ever since. Thank you BTR for showing me the fun in guitar 🙏
i thought when you were uploading kessoku's songs they were just a phase. seems like you genuinely loved the anime!!! I love your blackcurrant songs btw! looking forward to your new releases with the new guitar! :D
I got a lefty version of this back in 2020 and totally love it. I have 8 other guitars of varying build and quality. It quickly became my favourite one to play. Seeing it show up in Bocchi was a huge OMG moment for me. What drives me nuts, though, is that she gig-bags the thing. In spite of the price, the neck and headstock are practically designed to fail. The angles they're set in makes it as play-able as can be, but puts them very precarious position for anything less than a totally form fitted hardshell. Mine was made with the "original" non-relief body which weighs in at a hefty 9.8lb. I can't imagine the average gig-bag holding up to that kind of weight for very long.
Was about to post this myself, I've also been looking at these things. Push comes to shove I can just replace the knobs and it's pretty much show-accurate, just cheaper. And, hell, it's already as close as it gets without that.
theyve been doing those for months but they're still very much built in several ways like an epiphone. the scarf joint and how the binding continues from the neck to the headstock is very much not like a gibson, not to mention the difference in trussrod and the cover.
@@hollyc5417 the truss rod cover is obvious, I kind of assumed the fret ends would not be bound, it's the scarf joint that's surprising. Their announcements made a very big deal of the "one piece neck" thing, implying the contrary. But I haven't actually had my hands on any of the new pricey Epiphones so all my info is secondhand. Apparently the retailers in my country don't even have any of these yet. As for the whole binding situation I'm only familiar with Standards - and they obviously don't have headstock binding at all edit: I just had a look and I see what you mean, the way they do the binding on the Epiphones really looks like a scarf joint, the Gibson binding looks just uninterrupted.
I'm a bedroom guitarist myself but the one thing I really love about this anime is the almost perfect representation of how an introverted mind works. I couldn't help myself but relate on every reaction Bocchi portrays. Also, about the guitar playing, I'm pretty much an amateur but I really love the fact that I feel like home whenever I rewatch Bocchi. 10/10 would recommend to other introverts too.
I’ve been playing guitar for over 10 years and the music from Bocchi has made me want to get better. From the time I’ve spent learning the music I can already seeing improvement to my playing in places I’ve plateaued over the years with.
In season 2, Bocchi will use his new guitar, namely the YAMAHA PACIFICA 611vfm. And you have to buy it again and review it for us... and we are Bocchi fans
Oh this guitar is underrated. I sold my Fender and bought this one, it really was worth every penny. If you're thinking of getting the Pacifica get the 611VFM. The tremolo in it is actually really good and it won't de-tune and I've had no issues so far. Not to mention it's got Seymour duncan Humbuckers and the SP90 pick up. I'm happy with this purchase overall. Best bang for buck guitar.
Yoo is there a full version of the cover you played at 1:32 ? I already seen (and loved) your bocchi op cover on the channel but something about the mini demo in this video hit differently
Great video, love the guitar. The effect pedals were as you mentioned a bd2, rat(older one, newer ones are angled) and boss ms3(effects switcher but also has built in effects which Bocchi uses that's where the rotary and delay sounds come from). But I think the amp is jcm900 and not jcm800 because the one we see in the anime has more knobs(like the jcm900).
Came here to comment this as well but figured I'd check the comments so I wasn't one of several people bombarding him. The amp is without question a JCM 900 4100
I was playing guitar a lot back in middle school and high school for 3-4 years, and just suddenly stopped because i can't get any motivation to play it again. This anime really hits the part when i'm still used to doing it a lot, and actually i'm starting to play guitar more again because of it. And thanks to the dark old times of learning and playing super hard dream theater songs, bocchi's song wasn't super difficult to learn, and like you said, Fun!
This is by far the closest match to the sound of the guitar from the show I've ever heard and I love it. I picked up my guitar again after years of not playing after watching BTR, but then I put it back down again because I forgot how much I sucked at it.
I bought the yamaha pacifica they advertised using bocchers at the end of the show For 699 you get better specs than most guitars at 999$, seymour duncan p 90 and humbucker, great ergonomics and even graph tec saddles. Yamaha owns. I am huge fan of the album over the anime honestly, i wasn't gonna buy it because of the anime, but i happened to watch it at the aame time i was in the market for a guitar Again best specs at 699, been using it an hour a day for a year now and LOVE IT. Yamaha has always been a brand i loved but they just secured a life time customer with the incredible specs and build quality on the 611
And for all us poor people 😂 MSA VISION guitars have a very similar looking Les Paul style model LSG3 (except the pickguard is cream ivory) for $130 and HB (Harley Benton / Thomann) has the exact same looking model named "SC-500 BK Vintage Series" for under $170 (I'd go with the HB, have several copies from them - one in the Telecaster style, one in PRS style, one Gibson DC Junior style, some from their own creations - they always have exceptional QC and value for money - on par with the top tier Epiphone, which I also have as a Les Paul style and are just a tad under the lesser Gibsons, highly recommended)
every time i hear your playing it gives me chills and makes me want to hear more! I love your playing keep it up and i hope you get millions of subscribers because you deserve them all!
or check out the Edwards and Tokai Les Paul Custom Clones, Edwards is a ESP company, I bought a Tokai off of Reverb, very nice, did do a full hardware upgrade, but I didn't spend $5-6000, only $1500 after all shipping and customs ($75 to USA) were paid, and the Tokai does have a standard gibson truss rod nut ( my gibson corn cob pipe fit it) and it has a transitional neck socket, so not a full deep tenon, but not a short set tenon, and it also has direct screw ABR 1 bridge screws and both the bridge screws and stop bar threads are Metric
My guitar is a 2001 black and gold les paul epiphone. Its always been special- sounds way better than it has any right to, has amazing sustain and clear high tones. it has some battle scars from the years but has been repaired and maintained as much as possible. glad to see other people loving these guitars too
This video is awesome! I've been wanting to start guitar for a while now but I don't know what equipment to use such as AMPs and pedals I'd love if you did a video on starter equipment that sound similar to this or just an overview of the basics!
I am not much of a fan of les paul and also black guitars but few days ago when I watched a recommended RUclips short of bocchi playing this specific les paul, this black beauty with golden hardware really caught my eye. It just looks so beautiful can't help it and that's why I watched the anime I didn't know about. So this is the only les paul and black guitar I would like to have now.
I started self teaching myself Guitar back in August this year because of Bocchi. I’m learning with my dad’s guitar and once I get good enough (and can afford it) I plan on buying my own along with other equipment.
The Black Beauty Gibsons are probably one of my biggest dream guitars, just the absolute sexy design and the overall looks of the black and gold are immaculate.
You actually get a pretty good look at her pedal board when they’re playing the cultural festival in episode 12, and in addition to the Blues Driver that doesn’t look a lot like a Blues Driver but is definitely a Blues Driver, she has what looks like a ProCo RAT, and a Vox wah, which is used pretty prominently in the intro to If I Could Be a Constellation.
This is awesome. Been playing guitar for 10 years, been touring in a band for 3 years. Love to see people pick up guitar from this show. Marshall and les paul is awesome but imo eps/ltd through a cranked 5150 with a tube screamer is so gangster
I'm like 2 months into """learning""" guitar ( I know 2 tabs, 4 simple rythm songs and the G chord by name ) and I gotta say this show encouraged me to keep going cuz I was about to drop it seeing my progress... God 'That Band' goes hard
I have a 2009 Epiphone Les Paul custom. I grew up with it. Started learning how to play it a few years ago and now I'm at a point where I'm legitimately starting to have fun with it! It's a great guitar, I highly recommend it (hopefully manufacturing quality is high to this day)
I've been seeing this anime on my youtube reccomendations so i decided to watch it. When i watched it, i got inspired to start a band and go on gigs! This surely is a masterpiece!
I started learning bass because of BECK, fell in love with the instrument because of K-ON, and bought my main bass because of Bandori (I got an ESP/LTD now), Bocch ithe Rock just adds to my beloved anime series because of the bassists on the show
I’ve started playing guitar 20yrs ago on a lespaul… and upto now, it is still my weapon of choice in my band.. though i also have a prs and an ibanez pia… nothing beats the les paul sound for me…
The prices of the Gibson Ebony Customs are miserable considering a flame-maple top Gibson, Heritage, or Gretsch can be had for around half. I still want one, of course.
I mean She started playing guitar during her first year of middle school which is around 12, now she is 16. She doesnt do anything else other than going to sch and staying at home playing that guitar. 4 years of lifting that heavy guitar, she is definitely JACKED
I've got a black Epiphone Les Paul Standard with silver furniture and an off white pick guard. I gotta say, it's probably one of my favorite guitars to play.
@5:30 i picked up guitar after watching K-On, even have a similar Epiphone Les Paul that i got at a pawn store for about $200. Although i still cant play well after several years (never had time or energy to practice) I still love that guitar.
Love the guitar so much. Bocchi the Rock as a series and Kessoku Band’s music never fail to inspire me to pick up my instruments and practice. Ryo also made me get a bass so now I’m learning both the electric guitar and bass. I love Fender P basses but I wasn’t able to get one as my first bass. However I did get a nice Yamaha that looks kinda like Kikuri’s one except it’s a light greyish color.
I was under the impression that it was a 57 custom. I absolutely want to play as good as this some day. Currently rocking an Epi Studio in Alpine white but if I got good enough to justify a $6k guitar, I'd certainly choose this one.
Loved watching this video, been meaning to get back into playing my guitar, and bocci made me impulsively buy a gibson stratocaster and amp combo, but I fell off after a year, but seeing your video I've felt like picking it up again.
found out that Harley Benton sell the same style for less than £150 (Harley Benton SC-500 BK Vintage Series)... yes it may not sound as good, be the real thing or have that stunning gold hardware. but, if you want the look, you can absolutely get it for a budget price. I own one of these and I am more than satisfied. that solo was on point!
LOLZ - I have a Les Paul for a similar reason, BECK and K-ON!. I've never heard of Bocchi the Rock and will have to check it out. Thanks for sharing your setup. Also I just picked up a Fender Vintera II Mustang for the same reasons, on sale for 10% off at Sweetwater at the moment BTW 😉
id love to say Bocchi made me pick up the guitar again and continue learning from where I left off but Metalocalypse is the reason I'm doing it lol, I will say I freakin love Les Pauls tho and I was close to getting back into it when I saw her rocking one
5:42 as an old fan i can say that after both movies (that reshowing you a first season) there is a big chance for season 2 (The movies are great source of money for it).
Some other Les Paul options that I like: 1) Sire L7 2) Tokai Love Rock 3) Heritage H-150 Additionally, the used guitar section is always worth checking out, one of my favorite guitars is used.
W8 !! What about the audio interface , the UM2 or the Steinberg UR24C more likely! It's a awesome cheap alternative if you have a classic guitar cable and good headphones/speakers already and dont wanna spend even more money if you choose to get that exact Bocchi guitar or a cheap lookalike
This anime inspired me to pick up bass and i have since fallen in love glad to see so many likeminded people also its his money he can do whatever tf he wants with it
The point of weight on a Les Paul is so true. I feel like it could easily break my foot if i dropped it. Mine weighs probably 10-15lbs and it is a shoulder buster for sure. Its why i rarely use it now, in favor of a vintage jazzmaster style Kawai/Teisco guitar thats far lighter and more comfortable to use.
how could you not have included the bottle neck solo, its so iconic specially with Bocchi's actual guitar. but love the dedication and the guitar sounds amazing
I started guitar because of Bocchi the Rock and wanted a Yamaha Pacifica at first, but settled first with a Squier Stratocaster then a Fender Stratocaster after some months. Now I am liking my Stratocaster. (I still want a Les Paul in a future though). 😄😄
Like mentioned in your video, Gibson LP style guitars are generally really heavy, a bit lackluster in terms of ergonomics and tone versatility, and above all very expensive for what they offer. They are losing market share for a reason.
Nothing beats a perfect Les Paul. Doesn't look like a toy, unlike the million cheap strat copies. Definitely a guitar that makes you look like a rockstar whilst cranking that distortion to play the heaviest riff known to man. You might say the only major difference is in the headstock, compared to the cheaper epiphone, but a part of buying guitars is the legacy and history behind the instrument. It just doesn't feel right if it doesn't say Gibson on that headstock, especially for such an iconic guitar.
If K-On didn't make me fall in love with LPs, Bocchi sure did! Entertaining video Matty - 4:28 made me laugh. Can I ask which drive block you used on your Axe-FX to replicate the Blues Driver? You got such an excellent tone!
Congrats on the new axe! My single cut of choice is my Adam Jones silver burst Standard, which was already 3k lol I can't imagine being able to spend 6k on a guitar as I'd be paranoid and scared of damaging it lmao, I'd still get one tho, always loved black Customs. I'm glad shows like this still exist, that inspire people to pick up the guitar and go on a journey. For me that show was Beck Mongolian Chop Squad in the mid 00s. Bocch is doing now what Beck did 20 years ago, inspiring a new generation, even if the two anime are quiete different in their approach.
If you like a nice more cheap alternative go with the ltd eclipse 1000, the esthetic similarity is incredible plus you get 24 frets and active pickups.

In season 2, Bocchi will use his new guitar, namely the YAMAHA PACIFICA 611vfm. And you have to buy it again and review it for us... and we are Bocchi fans
Oh this guitar is underrated. I sold my Fender and bought this one, it really was worth every penny. If you're thinking of getting the Pacifica get the 611VFM. The tremolo in it is actually really good and it won't de-tune and I've had no issues so far.
Not to mention it's got Seymour duncan Humbuckers and the SP90 pick up. I'm happy with this purchase overall. Best bang for buck guitar.
@@BerserkerRider94yes it’s a great guitar
Yoo is there a full version of the cover you played at 1:32 ? I already seen (and loved) your bocchi op cover on the channel but something about the mini demo in this video hit differently
i've been wondering about the demo songs they were cracked
I agree with the impact part. Its great to see more people try out music! 🌟
Great video, love the guitar. The effect pedals were as you mentioned a bd2, rat(older one, newer ones are angled) and boss ms3(effects switcher but also has built in effects which Bocchi uses that's where the rotary and delay sounds come from). But I think the amp is jcm900 and not jcm800 because the one we see in the anime has more knobs(like the jcm900).
Well spotted! I don't have any experience with amps so I wasn't 100% sure with the shot being not entirely accurate in the anime of the amp
Came here to comment this as well but figured I'd check the comments so I wasn't one of several people bombarding him. The amp is without question a JCM 900 4100
I was playing guitar a lot back in middle school and high school for 3-4 years, and just suddenly stopped because i can't get any motivation to play it again.
This anime really hits the part when i'm still used to doing it a lot, and actually i'm starting to play guitar more again because of it.
And thanks to the dark old times of learning and playing super hard dream theater songs, bocchi's song wasn't super difficult to learn, and like you said, Fun!
so sick love your content, definitely my dream guitar
🙌🏻
@@UnhappyCheem Also my dream guitar lol
This is by far the closest match to the sound of the guitar from the show I've ever heard and I love it. I picked up my guitar again after years of not playing after watching BTR, but then I put it back down again because I forgot how much I sucked at it.
Haha found you here again
I bought the yamaha pacifica they advertised using bocchers at the end of the show
For 699 you get better specs than most guitars at 999$, seymour duncan p 90 and humbucker, great ergonomics and even graph tec saddles. Yamaha owns. I am huge fan of the album over the anime honestly, i wasn't gonna buy it because of the anime, but i happened to watch it at the aame time i was in the market for a guitar
Again best specs at 699, been using it an hour a day for a year now and LOVE IT. Yamaha has always been a brand i loved but they just secured a life time customer with the incredible specs and build quality on the 611
And for all us poor people 😂 MSA VISION guitars have a very similar looking Les Paul style model LSG3 (except the pickguard is cream ivory) for $130 and HB (Harley Benton / Thomann) has the exact same looking model named "SC-500 BK Vintage Series" for under $170 (I'd go with the HB, have several copies from them - one in the Telecaster style, one in PRS style, one Gibson DC Junior style, some from their own creations - they always have exceptional QC and value for money - on par with the top tier Epiphone, which I also have as a Les Paul style and are just a tad under the lesser Gibsons, highly recommended)
Very cool playing dude 🎉
thank you :)
every time i hear your playing it gives me chills and makes me want to hear more! I love your playing keep it up and i hope you get millions of subscribers because you deserve them all!
Would love to see redos of all of your bocchi songs with this guitar now, or maybe an extended medley?
a medley is a cool idea!
Great choice for the outro. Karakara riff is just too good, love that math rock influence on that song.
0:33 So its like learning how to drive in a Ferrari F40 or smthn?
or check out the Edwards and Tokai Les Paul Custom Clones, Edwards is a ESP company, I bought a Tokai off of Reverb, very nice, did do a full hardware upgrade, but I didn't spend $5-6000, only $1500 after all shipping and customs ($75 to USA) were paid, and the Tokai does have a standard gibson truss rod nut ( my gibson corn cob pipe fit it) and it has a transitional neck socket, so not a full deep tenon, but not a short set tenon, and it also has direct screw ABR 1 bridge screws and both the bridge screws and stop bar threads are Metric
Nice Vid ... bocchis guitar is AMAZING.. and the video format ,can you make a video with the rolling shutter efect?
idk it can be nice
rolling shutter effect?
My guitar is a 2001 black and gold les paul epiphone.
Its always been special- sounds way better than it has any right to, has amazing sustain and clear high tones. it has some battle scars from the years but has been repaired and maintained as much as possible.
glad to see other people loving these guitars too
i was just listening to you cover yesterday morning :o but if i had to get a les paul it would definitely be the one from k-on!
interesting!
its so hard to decide, i wish i was a millionair so i could just get both
i think millionaire is a bit overkill don't you think@@plteltronix7085
@@MattyyyM cant ever have enough money lol
@@plteltronix7085 valid point 🗿
This video is awesome! I've been wanting to start guitar for a while now but I don't know what equipment to use such as AMPs and pedals I'd love if you did a video on starter equipment that sound similar to this or just an overview of the basics!
Sounds amazing!
😄
I am not much of a fan of les paul and also black guitars but few days ago when I watched a recommended RUclips short of bocchi playing this specific les paul, this black beauty with golden hardware really caught my eye. It just looks so beautiful can't help it and that's why I watched the anime I didn't know about. So this is the only les paul and black guitar I would like to have now.
Let's go!!!!
😝
I started self teaching myself Guitar back in August this year because of Bocchi. I’m learning with my dad’s guitar and once I get good enough (and can afford it) I plan on buying my own along with other equipment.
Should I make more videos like this?
EDIT: I did :D watch here: ruclips.net/video/HbaOwpEqiO8/видео.htmlsi=KGYwRng6U9eXH9Gz
Definitely
Yeah Please but with JEMJRSP, the guitar used by Yoyoko Ohtsuki, her rival in season 02.
yes plz
yes
gonna start needing some guitar loaners for do more videos like that 💀@@Niji_Seggs
The Black Beauty Gibsons are probably one of my biggest dream guitars, just the absolute sexy design and the overall looks of the black and gold are immaculate.
Amazing video! I learned a lot
Honestly didn't know that different guitars can produce different sound
You actually get a pretty good look at her pedal board when they’re playing the cultural festival in episode 12, and in addition to the Blues Driver that doesn’t look a lot like a Blues Driver but is definitely a Blues Driver, she has what looks like a ProCo RAT, and a Vox wah, which is used pretty prominently in the intro to If I Could Be a Constellation.
This is awesome. Been playing guitar for 10 years, been touring in a band for 3 years. Love to see people pick up guitar from this show. Marshall and les paul is awesome but imo eps/ltd through a cranked 5150 with a tube screamer is so gangster
I really love how powerful the sounds it produces, it hits the right spot in my soul
I'm like 2 months into """learning""" guitar ( I know 2 tabs, 4 simple rythm songs and the G chord by name ) and I gotta say this show encouraged me to keep going cuz I was about to drop it seeing my progress... God 'That Band' goes hard
I have a 2009 Epiphone Les Paul custom. I grew up with it. Started learning how to play it a few years ago and now I'm at a point where I'm legitimately starting to have fun with it! It's a great guitar, I highly recommend it (hopefully manufacturing quality is high to this day)
I've been seeing this anime on my youtube reccomendations so i decided to watch it. When i watched it, i got inspired to start a band and go on gigs! This surely is a masterpiece!
Your tone here is freaking sick! I wish I could get mine dialed in that well! ❤🤘🏽
I started learning bass because of BECK, fell in love with the instrument because of K-ON, and bought my main bass because of Bandori (I got an ESP/LTD now), Bocch ithe Rock just adds to my beloved anime series because of the bassists on the show
I’ve started playing guitar 20yrs ago on a lespaul… and upto now, it is still my weapon of choice in my band.. though i also have a prs and an ibanez pia… nothing beats the les paul sound for me…
The prices of the Gibson Ebony Customs are miserable considering a flame-maple top Gibson, Heritage, or Gretsch can be had for around half. I still want one, of course.
Easily one of my favorite les pauls. So nice and the anime just as epic as the guitar! Highly recommend it if you haven't seen it already.
I mean She started playing guitar during her first year of middle school which is around 12, now she is 16. She doesnt do anything else other than going to sch and staying at home playing that guitar. 4 years of lifting that heavy guitar, she is definitely JACKED
I've got a black Epiphone Les Paul Standard with silver furniture and an off white pick guard. I gotta say, it's probably one of my favorite guitars to play.
@5:30 i picked up guitar after watching K-On, even have a similar Epiphone Les Paul that i got at a pawn store for about $200. Although i still cant play well after several years (never had time or energy to practice) I still love that guitar.
Love the guitar so much. Bocchi the Rock as a series and Kessoku Band’s music never fail to inspire me to pick up my instruments and practice.
Ryo also made me get a bass so now I’m learning both the electric guitar and bass. I love Fender P basses but I wasn’t able to get one as my first bass. However I did get a nice Yamaha that looks kinda like Kikuri’s one except it’s a light greyish color.
I was under the impression that it was a 57 custom. I absolutely want to play as good as this some day. Currently rocking an Epi Studio in Alpine white but if I got good enough to justify a $6k guitar, I'd certainly choose this one.
Loved watching this video, been meaning to get back into playing my guitar, and bocci made me impulsively buy a gibson stratocaster and amp combo, but I fell off after a year, but seeing your video I've felt like picking it up again.
Great to hear!
found out that Harley Benton sell the same style for less than £150 (Harley Benton SC-500 BK Vintage Series)... yes it may not sound as good, be the real thing or have that stunning gold hardware. but, if you want the look, you can absolutely get it for a budget price. I own one of these and I am more than satisfied. that solo was on point!
thank you for playing it first thing in the video, you deserve a sub
my love for the characters in this show is the reason i picked my dusty ass bass back up and started playing again
I generally just started getting INTO guitar thanks to the anime, now I'm learning some cool stuff that I thought I'd never learn before :]
I love how bocchi got so many people back into guitar, me included
LOLZ - I have a Les Paul for a similar reason, BECK and K-ON!. I've never heard of Bocchi the Rock and will have to check it out. Thanks for sharing your setup.
Also I just picked up a Fender Vintera II Mustang for the same reasons, on sale for 10% off at Sweetwater at the moment BTW 😉
Awesome karakara cover in the end mate!
id love to say Bocchi made me pick up the guitar again and continue learning from where I left off but Metalocalypse is the reason I'm doing it lol, I will say I freakin love Les Pauls tho and I was close to getting back into it when I saw her rocking one
5:42 as an old fan i can say that after both movies (that reshowing you a first season) there is a big chance for season 2 (The movies are great source of money for it).
Some other Les Paul options that I like:
1) Sire L7
2) Tokai Love Rock
3) Heritage H-150
Additionally, the used guitar section is always worth checking out, one of my favorite guitars is used.
Modern Gibson Les Pauls are very inconsistent quality-wise. That's why used Les Pauls from the 90's or even earlier is a safer bet.
bro the bocchi solo that you did was SPOT on holy
What do you mean that season 2 has not dropped yet? I've been on episode 42. Bocchi met Pink guy and played a song together.
1:16 the -lesbo- , I mean les paul Gibson 68, hmm , yup noted 📝
_bokita FTW_
W8 !! What about the audio interface , the UM2 or the Steinberg UR24C more likely! It's a awesome cheap alternative if you have a classic guitar cable and good headphones/speakers already and dont wanna spend even more money if you choose to get that exact Bocchi guitar or a cheap lookalike
This anime made me purchase a les paul and a Pacifica 😅
Super nice guitar skill of you! Very impressed!
This anime inspired me to pick up bass and i have since fallen in love glad to see so many likeminded people also its his money he can do whatever tf he wants with it
That first chord Hitori hits in that solo took me around a Roundabout.
The point of weight on a Les Paul is so true. I feel like it could easily break my foot if i dropped it. Mine weighs probably 10-15lbs and it is a shoulder buster for sure. Its why i rarely use it now, in favor of a vintage jazzmaster style Kawai/Teisco guitar thats far lighter and more comfortable to use.
how could you not have included the bottle neck solo, its so iconic specially with Bocchi's actual guitar.
but love the dedication and the guitar sounds amazing
I started guitar because of Bocchi the Rock and wanted a Yamaha Pacifica at first, but settled first with a Squier Stratocaster then a Fender Stratocaster after some months. Now I am liking my Stratocaster.
(I still want a Les Paul in a future though). 😄😄
you can start saving early for it ^^
I love how British people call her Botchy
Like mentioned in your video, Gibson LP style guitars are generally really heavy, a bit lackluster in terms of ergonomics and tone versatility, and above all very expensive for what they offer. They are losing market share for a reason.
65 years later people still using them though!
That last part of the intro solo was so sick.. never heard anything like it
Nothing beats a perfect Les Paul. Doesn't look like a toy, unlike the million cheap strat copies.
Definitely a guitar that makes you look like a rockstar whilst cranking that distortion to play the heaviest riff known to man. You might say the only major difference is in the headstock, compared to the cheaper epiphone, but a part of buying guitars is the legacy and history behind the instrument. It just doesn't feel right if it doesn't say Gibson on that headstock, especially for such an iconic guitar.
they're awesome 👌 I had a standard a few years ago, but this one is that next level
If K-On didn't make me fall in love with LPs, Bocchi sure did! Entertaining video Matty - 4:28 made me laugh. Can I ask which drive block you used on your Axe-FX to replicate the Blues Driver? You got such an excellent tone!
I think its just called Blues OD or something
Congrats on the new axe! My single cut of choice is my Adam Jones silver burst Standard, which was already 3k lol I can't imagine being able to spend 6k on a guitar as I'd be paranoid and scared of damaging it lmao, I'd still get one tho, always loved black Customs.
I'm glad shows like this still exist, that inspire people to pick up the guitar and go on a journey.
For me that show was Beck Mongolian Chop Squad in the mid 00s. Bocch is doing now what Beck did 20 years ago, inspiring a new generation, even if the two anime are quiete different in their approach.
I hear that a lot, regarding damaging guitars. I think I can count on one hand how many times I've dinged a guitar in 20 years
I could never get motivated to actually practice instruments before but after watching Bocchi I try to play drums and guitar more regularly
If you like a nice more cheap alternative go with the ltd eclipse 1000, the esthetic similarity is incredible plus you get 24 frets and active pickups.
