I Set Up This $50 Guitar To Feel Like €1000

Just a simple set up was all it took to transform this super Affordable electric guitar into one that felt like it was worth 10 times as much 

Floyd Rose on a PRS?!

Adding a Floyd Rose Tremelo to a PRS Guitar seems sacrilegious but actually the new Thorn completely gets away with it due to finessed ultra modern curves and design, congratulations to Paul Reid Smith Guitars for this new amazing design 

My 7 Year Old Daughter Thought This Was Dr Eggman! 😂

It’s an honest mistake. One is a super villain from Sonic the hedgehog and the other is a custom built, boutique electric guitar made in Nepal by Sahana Guitars! 

Why Amps Are Being Banned From Live Stages!

With large production value touring shows real Tube Guitar amplifiers are being banned by production Crew sighting that they need to clean stage, less hassle, more consistency and less to carry around – who can blame them ?!

The Most Important Factor in Buying a new Guitar 

Long story short I needed to buy a guitar while I was in Austin Texas, I had the incredible opportunity of demonstrating the Dumble amplifier range and didn’t have one on me. This stunning PRS SC was just the ticket.  Big thanks to the Awesome crew at Guitar Centre for the amazing setup and all of the help 

Is Live Music Just Better?

All of the tracks I recorded for the forth-coming album ”Time is the Enemy” well recorded live in Malta, only the vocals were over dubbed to avoid to much spillover on the mic. I think it creates such an amazing Sound, captures the synergy of all the musicians working together.

Flower Of Life is 10 Years Old!

Flower of life by Dorje is now 10 years old, I can’t quite believe where the time has gone, this is one of the first times I wrote a solo rather than improvised and I was really happy with the results! 

Meanwhile 10 Years Ago!

Flower of life by Dorje is now 10 years old, I really can’t believe it’s been that long, this was the first time I ever screamed on recording great memories! 

Eric Clapton Live at Crossroads 2026

I have the privilege of spending an afternoon with Eric Clapton several years ago at his house in London but I had never seen him live and I have to say it was an absolute privilege and an honour to “witness the fitness” of Eric from the side of the stage, he really comes alive with energy, especially during the playing of Crossroads! Big thanks to  https://ift.tt/g1JzSlV for hooking this up, a great place to go and watch the whole festival for free 

John Mayer & Trey Anastasio - Crossroads 2026

Full backstage access passes at Crossroads Festival was pretty fucking awesome, huge thanks to @thenextcrossroads for hooking that up, shooting content for the official live stream was super fun. #robchapman #crossroadsfestival #johnmayer #treyanastasio

Modern Guitars are Made Better Than Vintage Guitars Were 

Vintage guitars were not made by expert Luthiers, in many instances they were made by artisans from furniture companies or even automotive. As a result, many of the early Electric Guitars from the top brands were in many instances built incorrectly 

I Can’t Believe I Found This!

This is absolutely classic, I just stumbled upon this purely by chance Rabea Massaad and Rob Chapman jamming the track Aeromancy from Dorje‘s first EP 

This PRS Tekton is Awesome!

I have the honour to be one of the first people to demonstrate the new PRS Tekton range whilst at Guitar Center just a few days ago, this hardtail version was my favourite 

$40 Vs $300 Overdrive Pedal Shootout

Chappers and the Captain at Andertons testing the Golden plexi against the Almighty Vemuram! Which do you think sounds better? Bearing in mind Golden plexi is worth about $40 and the Vemuram is worth roughly $300 

Insane Melodic Shred 

This is a clip from my recent chat with my friend Rusty @MetalRust1331 about his heavily customised Ibanez RG550. Can you believe all of that Tone is just coming from his Boss Katana mini 

Is This The Cheapest Guitar Rig Ever?

Is this Boss Katana mini amplifier the cheapest Metal electric guitar rig of all time? It does sound absolutely brutal AF  for hardly any cash especially coupled with this heavily customised Ibanez RG550, by the way this is my friend @MetalRust1331

The Biggest Orange Amp Ever?

The Orange amplification micro terror is an absolutely insane, Affordable Guitar amplifier. It has utterly monstrous gain tones and can easily drive a 2 x 12 cabinet to fill a room with thick orange Guitar Tone. 

How Do You Setup Your Guitar?

The way that you set up an electric guitar makes a massive difference to the way that it feels when you play it. But what kind of feel is correct? Everyone is utterly different. We are all different shapes and sizes and prefer different gauges of string and variance in action and neck an angle. 

The INSANE Dumble Megaplex

The Dumble amplification Megaplex is an incredible Tube amplifier with inspiration from the Marshall plexi but full of Alexander Dumble‘s tricks, surprises and tweaks – nothing I have played before sounds like this, it was an utter privilege and a joy to be able to demonstrate pretty much the whole Dumble range and meet the incredible people that Alexander chose to carry on the Dumble Legacy.
