Rob and Lee together again! I love Pete and all the other fellas too, but the old Chappers and The Captain bring back so many great memories. All the stupid, idiotic stunts they used to do are the best memories I have from a bygone era. All the Christmas videos, elfs, dropping guitars off roofs, blowing up speakers and all the other shenanigans that made them the comedic duo. And I learned a ton about the guitar. Love it!
I feel like Rob, Lee and Pete are the top gear of the guitar world. Rob is the Jeremy, Lee is Richard and Pete is James. Many companies have tried to follow and they just don’t come close. There is an emptiness to the other companies videos but Anderson’s have just nailed it. I think you guys need to make a best of video such as robs crazy blindfold guesses, best general moments and others. You should celebrate your channel with a thank you to everyone who is involved as part of the best of video. Doesn’t have to be for any reason or milestone but just because. Cheers for the videos, I’ve ended up spending thousands!
I know people like to give Rob a hard time, but his blindfolded playing is seriously impressive. This channel got me into playing guitar years ago and it's always fun to see these videos. Reminds me of the "old" days.
For the love of God keep doing this I love how things always change and nothing but respect for the other people but this is the magic right here this is what made it keep this going as much as you can
It's like you two were never apart! Your synergy is incredible, I hope you keep making these! Also, the production and editing has really improved, congrats to the team!
I have been enjoying Anderton's RUclips channel for quite a long time, and it is always a treat to see Chappers back in the studio with El Capitan. Cheers, gentlemen.
Robs understanding blindfolded what brand he has, finish used, materials used, pickups used baffles me. I love chapman guitars aswell, but they could be so much more world leading.
Indeed.. I wouldn't advise playing Texas hold'em with that freak of nature. Word on the street insists he can smell face cards, and feel the suites! Whilst simultaneously hearing a flush.
They are right down the street from me in Carlsbad CA. Also Kiesel is down the street and Suhr about 30 minutes from me.. Cool to see Iconic getting some love..
nice to hear some Dorje rifs, miss that band. That Castedosa sounded immense, close between that and the PRS for best sounding out of a top draw bunch.
Lee protecting the Castedosa headstock was amusing. One relic guitar bumping another relic guitar is not going to matter. It is already INTENTIONALLY smashed and destroyed. One more bump only ADDS to the relic.
They do. Something though to me about their guitars lately. I don't much like the tailpiece and their overuse of mixing gold and stainless together, lol.
Rob is a master. We saw him @ Guitare-en-scène, what a man, what a player, what a musician. We miss him @ Andertons, him and Rabea.. all my respect to Danish Pete we love too.
Andertons's videos are as good as ever! And I don't have words for Rob's knowledge 😮 PS: when is Santana making a comeback? I miss his galactic philosophy 😇
Would love to see one of these types of blindfold tests (ranked from most to least expensive) and put an Eastcoast ST Deluxe along with one of the Iconic strats!
American and this is my channel looking for most things guitar. Great content everytime. Fun and playful with serious work. I think the acceptance of beginner to pro with everything ranging that gambit, with 0 hint ever of snubbing is in the sauce for the greatest in the industry and of those on RUclips. That do what you love and you will never work a day of your life comes to thought here. Excellent content as per usual. Keep'em coming!
Oh my word it was so good to see an Andertons video with Rob Chapman again. You have great presenters but the chemistry between Chappers and the Captain is undeniable. You can tell they are great friends and it shows in the videos. As for Rob his guitar mastery is off the charts. I could sit and listen to Rob play all day. His sense of melody and different styles is second to none. Listen to Dorje or Clockwork Wolf & Co. you know that Rob is the real deal. Rob really inspires me to sit down and play guitar. In my personal opinion it just doesn't get any better than a video with these two in it. I hope you have more of these in the "can" for us. Lol
Great vid, and good to see Chappers and the cap'n reunited. I was going to buy all of them, but didn't hear any clean tones. Gotta hear some cleans before I buy.
Cracking video. The Castedosa sounded huge, as did the Hansen and Iconic. Interesting hearing these unattainable guitars, would be great to hear others getting the blindfold test. Think Chappers needs a safety perimeter between him and any other equipment, I really thought that the Castedosa was going to get totalled. He would make a great Chief Creative Vandaliser (Relic’er).
Without a doubt the Rob Chapman blindfold challenges are my favorite - and not to be left out Danish Pete comes in a close second! Keep ‘em coming, kids! Cheers, Bobby from California
Lol the smell thing. Ever since he smelled that one of the guitars was a Gibson, they constantly bring it up. Gibsons do smell like whatever their scented cases smell like. I can't believe they were surprised that Rob could smell that. When I take my SG, I get immediately that vanilla smell in my nose, even if it hasn't been in its case for weeks. Similarly, I've been to guitar stores where you can smell when you're standing near the Gibson rack. Honestly find it hard to believe that none of them had ever noticed that you can smell which one is a Gibson 😂
Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that Andertons use brand new, high end gear to 'sell' their videos and then expect someone to pay full price for the same instrument, pedal or amp when it goes back to the floor AFTER having been handled and played like its a used item? In my humble opinion, anything featured here should be considered B-Stock (don't care if its the owner and his buddies playing it), including every single one of these guitars. Beer in one hand and unsold expensive guitar in the other...seriously? A few months ago my husband and I flew to a major music store to personally collect a Les Paul Custom we had ordered and they made every effort to keep their instruments as untouched as possible, avoiding unnecessary skin contact with high finish surfaces (machine heads, bridge, screws etc). Potential clients were barely allowed to 'try' these instruments as they requested you to remove wedding rings, belts, etc to avoid any potential dings or scratches. When I buy a guitar in this price range I don't want to see that its been used as a prop in a RUclips video (which incidentally Andertons earns money with)! Anyone wanting to pickup any guitar in this video should request a discount 😉
They are sold as a discounted item. They are sold as Demo models. Every Big name Music store sells Demo models at a discount. You do know these guitars get played out on the shop floor as well right ?
My most expensive guitar an HSS Floyd Rose Fender Ultra Luxe with stainless steel frets at $3,700.00 Canadian. Your prices are in Pounds, yikes! Good to see Chappers back. Let's see more blindfold challenges with pedals and amps. Digital vs tube amp. Circuit board vs hand made amps. My pedals are two Boss GT-1000's, one Boss ME-90, one Eventide H90. I keep one GT-1000 at home to experiment with on a 32 inch monitor for editing and a road tested patches GT-1000 for stage that I just play thru. Getting back into looping with a two track 15 hour Boss RC-500. Can hook up a second (slave) RC-500 with a MIDI cable to double tracks or sequences.
I love them all but haven’t seen a lol of chappers lately so understandable so many are happy to see it. I just still wish he didn’t do so many of those open low e hits followed by bends at a high e or double bends 😂
He knows these things about these instruments. 3 of the 6 in order, he was ab;e to make the call on the PRS & LP for identification. These are obviously instruments I wou;dn't bother to look at beyond their price tags. Realize they were higher up on the rack or in their own room of expensive. So I'll wander back out into the area where they keep the Chinese & Mexican guitars.
I know there's been some controversy around Rob (though I'm not in the know as to the details) but these videos are an entertaining blast from the past, and Rob undeniably is incredibly good at this type of thing. He could legit smell the roasted neck which is insanity to me.
I try to watch every Anderton's video. Some are so good I'm nearly clapping at the end. On this type, one thing I'd try is to reveal the guitars to Rob (at the end) one at a time
Just imagine if you would have thrown an oddball in like the the telecaster blind test with Pet! I believe Lee's Larry Carlton strat S7 that Lee changed the picks up in, or something else cheap that has been changed/ modified as you have many options out there!! I'm sure that would have been great fun!!
Good to have the old duo still going strong!
Was thinking the same thing when I saw it pop up
Love seeing them share their love of guitar

Agreed! No disrespect to any of the other guys, but Chappers and the Captain are what got me to subscribe and follow this channel!
Thanks to the team for making such a fun video, absolutely love the editing. These are always a blast :-)

People give Rob a hard time due to their jealousy.
And, you know. Everything he'd said and done.
What do they give him a hard time for? Genuine question, I don't know much about him.

When he smelled that the neck was baked maple, I lost it... what a savant! Great content, as always!
That was truly incredible
If you ever had an axe with roasted Maple you Can absolutely understand what he was talking about ! Distinctive smell 😁
Indeed.. I wouldn't advise playing Texas hold'em with that freak of nature. Word on the street insists he can smell face cards, and feel the suites! Whilst simultaneously hearing a flush.
I thought that was the easiest thing he did!
He says he didn’t smell anything but could feel it…
The look on Lee’s face when Chappers is waiving head stocks around recklessly 😅
I kinda feel like that is the theme of every blindfold challenge
The Iconic was in a tone universe of its own, the extra harmonic content. Loved Rob's descriptions, he knows his onions.
Reminds me of the Friedmans, they also have that "extra" harmonic content in a hot-rod fashion.
@@alexlubinski7795 Dave Friedman is about as close to the truth as it gets when it comes to understanding tone.
They are right down the street from me in Carlsbad CA. Also Kiesel is down the street and Suhr about 30 minutes from me.. Cool to see Iconic getting some love..
The best entertainment on the internet! The editing in these episodes is life changing.
You don't get out much, do you.
@@fdfsdfsvsfgsg4888Not typically when I’m on the internet.
Newest quote from Chappers "Can I have the purple pain monster?"
That will definitely be a new S&M term. Just need to add a please. 😂
nice to hear some Dorje rifs, miss that band. That Castedosa sounded immense, close between that and the PRS for best sounding out of a top draw bunch.
Hi! Do you know what song did he play on Prs? Those hammer ons part
I love when Rob is on the show. His ear is second to none.
It is such a treat seeing you two together doing these blindfold videos!! Best segment in my opinion! Good show
That Les Paul sounded amazing but I really liked the Danish tele.
Same here, really cool sound!
Lee protecting the Castedosa headstock was amusing. One relic guitar bumping another relic guitar is not going to matter. It is already INTENTIONALLY smashed and destroyed. One more bump only ADDS to the relic.
Nice to see Rob back for a spot. The original twins are and were the best.
If you really love guitars, you gotta love these guys… Always entertaining, always funny, always amazing!
That first strat sounds INSANE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Things have never been the same on this channel since Rob moved away I love these videos so much. Got me into RUclips itself let alone back into gear.
That PRS is absolutely stunning! They just know how to make classy looking instruments
They do. Something though to me about their guitars lately. I don't much like the tailpiece and their overuse of mixing gold and stainless together, lol.
@@joshbabbitt9243 personally that’s one of my favourite things about them
I always loved it when Rob played the Epiphone blindfolded and said it sounded better than the Gibson LP!! Trying to guess them by the smell...
Thanks for what you guys do, it brightened my day. Lost my dog yesterday and this made me feel better. Nice to see Rob too
Wowzers, Chappers is such a clever guitar connoisseur and fab player.
This duo is the reason I subscribed to this channel.
Ouff! That black strat really got me! I want that one!
Me toooooo!😅
The PRS is a stunningly beautiful guitar.
Rob is a master. We saw him @ Guitare-en-scène, what a man, what a player, what a musician. We miss him @ Andertons, him and Rabea.. all my respect to Danish Pete we love too.
always great to see these 2 guys have a great time playing guitars
Andertons's videos are as good as ever! And I don't have words for Rob's knowledge 😮
PS: when is Santana making a comeback? I miss his galactic philosophy 😇
Chappers.. you sound great, Captain holds the show together.. really enjoy watching you two, thanks!
Maybe it’s just me, but heavily distorted guitars sound similar. I would Ike to hear the guitars through a clean amp too
Amen!😢
That prs just sounds amazing.
Props as always to Rob for his knowledge.👌🏽
Good to see you guys together again
Waiting for this for so long
Thank you so much for bringing Rob back
‘Smell that volute!’. Never thought I’d ever hear that phrase, but I feel it should now become a standard part of guitar playing vernacular! 😂
That should be on their merch!
"Smell the glove"
I couldn't settle at all with that close set up, And Rob not given a hot crap about fancy stuff!!! NICE TO SEE YA CHAPPERS!.
As impressive as always. Would have loved to have slipped in an East Coast or a squire as Robs expectations were set so high
Would love to see one of these types of blindfold tests (ranked from most to least expensive) and put an Eastcoast ST Deluxe along with one of the Iconic strats!
Good to see Rob back on the channel.
Is it really, is it Si?
Sarcasm?
11 seconds and im laughing out loud. your editor needs a raise!
The finish on that PRS is incredible!!!
American and this is my channel looking for most things guitar. Great content everytime. Fun and playful with serious work.

Excellent content as per usual.
Keep'em coming!
I really enjoyed this episode. It seemed the old dynamic was back, would be great to have more of this again.
Sarcasm?
Dude...it's freaking impressive how a Gibson Les Paul sounds like nothing else but a GLP. The guitar's distinctive sound is unmistakable...!
How do you figure that out? I guarantee you couldn't pick a Gibson out of a line-up if you were blindfolded and just listening.
The Les Paul is simply awesome and sounded the best to my ear. Great video!
love seeing chappers, his guitar knowledge is insane!
Oh my word it was so good to see an Andertons video with Rob Chapman again. You have great presenters but the chemistry between Chappers and the Captain is undeniable.

Really?
Are you rob Chapman?
Agree with you. Rob is an awesome player and teacher. Having both Chappers and Captain in the same video rocks!!
Great vid, and good to see Chappers and the cap'n reunited. I was going to buy all of them, but didn't hear any clean tones. Gotta hear some cleans before I buy.
Entertaining and eye opening, this was truly a Fun time with Chappers and the Captain. Thanks to everyone involved. 🎸👍👍
When he said smells like baked maple I started rolling. Wtf Rob?! How do you do it man? Brilliant
Baked maple smells like maple syrup, it’s pretty distinct!
It actually does smell like maple syrup. My guitar does.
How concerned they were about not putting any dents in those beat up guitars 🤣
Andertons is the BEST! Just what I needed after a very long day!
Black Betty!. One of the all time classic riffs.
Would be fun to see Pete and the Captain do this as well.
My God let's hope so if you know what I mean.
Rob really is a special cat. Very good ears. He’s the reason I started watching YT way back when!!
The dynamic duo videos are always welcome 👍
The process of Rob "getting to know" a guitar is just exquistely beautiful...
Its like a first date dance
Smelling and groping?
Cracking video. The Castedosa sounded huge, as did the Hansen and Iconic. Interesting hearing these unattainable guitars, would be great to hear others getting the blindfold test.
Think Chappers needs a safety perimeter between him and any other equipment, I really thought that the Castedosa was going to get totalled. He would make a great Chief Creative Vandaliser (Relic’er).
Always great to see Chappers and The Captain again
Ahhhhh the OG's meet again!
Love these blindfold challenges.
That Casta though🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥those pickups on it were next level.
You two have a different level of chemistry. I am willing to bet your most watched videos of all time are all Chappers and the Captain...
you can check the what most watched videos are on the page lol
@@TillyP that's really helpful. Thank you so much. Do you eat honey for breakfast?
Without a doubt the Rob Chapman blindfold challenges are my favorite - and not to be left out Danish Pete comes in a close second! Keep ‘em coming, kids! Cheers, Bobby from California
This PRS sounds heavenly!
Came here to say this as well. Damn it sounded amazing!
same. and I don't even like PRSs.
I’m not a PRS guy either, but it sounded awesome
Thanks for making me anxious again for the results!
Glad to see both!

Can he smell Andertons' shares?
No I don’t think so
Chappers - as usual - NAILS the identifications. Unbelievably good at this blindfold.
Love seeing Chappers and the Captain together again!
Cool enough, guys. Thanks Lee for bringing in the Primo chops man, Mr. Chappers. Please do it again. Cheers.
Love it when the band’s back together 😊
Blimey, Chappers is totally smoking in this. As the old song says “But boy, could he play guitar’
The complete horror in the room when the one 5K headstock gets waved awfully close to the other 5k headstock 🤣
Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that Andertons use brand new, high end gear to 'sell' their videos and then expect someone to pay full price for the same instrument, pedal or amp when it goes back to the floor AFTER having been handled and played like its a used item?

Rob knew the Fender strat was a custom shop very easily by the extremely heavy relicing job he could feel.
I think the weight, neck shape and fret height were the giveaways for him. Always helps to have a distressed paint job 😀
This fella really knows his stuff.He could even start his own guitar company .
Yes! More Sherlock Chappers
now it's time to call Pete for clean sounds ...
Chappers is back! 🤘
Great 😢

Great to see you both together again. Great review, Rob your knowledge of guitars is amazing!
That was quite a demo for the Pink Taco - very nice!
What's the hybrid picking riff he plays with the PRS from 18:33 ??
you guys are just amazing! so much fun watching you both together!
@21:33 is why I don't like any comparisons. 😅
Love the Chappers and the Captain!
Rob playing Dorje songs while blindfolded are always my favorite parts. Every time it's going into drop D, I know Flower of Life is about to come!
That Friedman amp sounds amazing
Just imagine if you would have thrown an oddball in like the the telecaster blind test with Pet! I believe Lee's Larry Carlton strat S7 that Lee changed the picks up in, or something else cheap that has been changed/ modified as you have many options out there!! I'm sure that would have been great fun!!
YESSSSS THERE BACK DOING IT
The first strum on the strat was NASTY in the best way.
