    If anyone deserves recognition, it's Dave Simpson. Not only is he a blues slaying maniac, he's the most humble guy and just a sweet human being and for him I wish nothing but the utmost success in his musical endeavors. And kudos to the captain for having him on for amazing interview. There's a reason he's been the most requested artist for an interview with the captain, everybody who gets to know Dave absolutely loves him. There's no reason he shouldn't be endorsing a dozen companies as he never gets bad feedback & he's built his channel 1 sub at a time.

He has obviously picked up John's open mouth thing when John plays. Still though Dave seems like a really good guy. I do kinda wish he'd dial back the Frusciante thing a little bit.

      @400_billion_suns 3 года назад +19

      Your channel could learn a thing or two from him... instead of banning people like me, because you don't like having your emotionally-charged opinions challenged. I know you're going through some crap right now and I wish you the best, but after some of the stuff you've said and blocking my comments so you could have your own echo chamber, you look a lot different to me now than when I used to watch your amp repairs. For a perfect example of something Dave would never tell his viewers and subscribers in a million years: imgur.com/tTkTGrQ (and no, that's not even when you blocked me, it was before that). Notice how Dave handles his challenges and struggles: he projects outward a sense of vulnerability, connection, support, positivity, and hope for others. He relates to other people. He cares and doesn't tear anyone down, ever. He gives love, he receives love. Now contrast that with how you behave: you get reactive, combative, aggressive, and start insulting those who helped your channel grow by watching it to start with. And you pat yourself on the back and say, and I quote, you're 'culling the herd,' along with a lot of other profanity-laced bluster.

    Finally. Finally. Finally. Dave's been on RUclips for such a long time, toiling away and delivering wonderful content for those in the know. You'll never hear him slagging anyone off, boasting about his accomplishments or shilling for some mega music corporation (Umbrella notwithstanding). He's not slick, doesn't rely on schtick and seems utterly disinterested in the traditional rock star trappings of fame and fortune. He's always just been Dave Simpson, a wonderfully talented and authentic guy genuinely interacting with his audience from the humble confines of his bedroom. If appearing on the Andertons channel helps raise his profile, all the better. He really has put the time (and tone) in as a musician to truly deserve it. Great to see you here, Dave. :)

    Dave Simpson and Danish Pete need to do a jam session. Each of them plugged straight into a Boss Katana II and all it's functionality, no external effects allowed and playing (off the wall of Anderton's) Squire Affinity guitars; a Stratocaster for Dave and a Telecaster for Pete and show the gear snobs what it means to really play a guitar, that would be truth and it would be awesome. When Dave played his lovingly beat to crap MIM Strat through the Marshall Jackhammer straight into his Katana and pulled off the Frusciante tone perfectly (@1:01:44), I was paying attention, were you?

    Dave is one of those players who uses the most modest gear but gets tones I can only dream of regardless of what I use. Watching his passion for more affordable gear and the sounds he gets made me realise it's better to use what you like and what you know you can get a good sound out of instead of what you think you should be buying.

Even reality TV is fake, scripted and manipulated. And Hollywood actors all have to look stunning with matching teeth and hair.
    We miss the ordinary in our entertainment/media and Dave connects with that. He feels like our brother and one of us and doesn't make you feel like you have to buy expensive gear to sound decent or to get lost in machismo of who has the most guitar knowledge.

    The main reason that guitars keep getting better as you own them longer is that they soak up all the memories. I remember my boy wanting to learn because he watched a TV show called drake and josh and it had to be a red strat. I got him a red crafter cruiser for Christmas 2009 and he still owns it today and attributes all his success in music to it. In fact he has never got rid of any of his guitars over the last 14 years and has quite a few now with a few fenders, esp's and so but never a Gibson but I've bought him a 2009 Les Paul standard this year for Christmas as we have had a bad year with his mum's health and he has been outstanding with all the help, so I think it's a good payback for him.
    Love the channel and Dave and Cici.
    Merry Christmas ❤

    Why do people watch you Dave ? Your honestly and humbleness shines through . We are all born to do something we don’t know it is or when it will appear but yours was to play guitar and be an inspiration to thousands who think they can’t do something or be someone . Plus you are without doubt a guitar genius when you play .. bravo sir ...

      That's an act, he censors his comments,that tells you he is very controlling, and if you will notice, 99% of the comments he likes are comments praising him.

      @@davidjohnson-fo7ze he censors his comments to avoid the usual RUclips assholes who get off on talking smack and taking the piss - generally acting like playground bullys. Can't say that I blame him to be fair. Take a look around most comments sections on a lot of videos. A good few of the big Guitar RUclipsrs aren't exactly known for liking criticism. Its his channel - he gets the views, doesnt talk down to anybody.. good for him.
