Power Chords… With a WEIRD twist


Chappers and the Captain at Andersons demonstrating some iron label Ibanez guitars many years ago. Robe came up with this interesting scratchy rhythm technique that resembled a DJ scratching on vinyl records 

Affordable Egnator Blew Our Minds


This affordable Egnator series was absolutely mind blowing, I had no idea they were Affordable and completely believed they were boutique amplifiers from America, turned out they were made in China and still incredible sounding for an unfathomably small price. Perfect matched with this PRS at Andertons

Awesome Guns N Roses Rig


Chappers and the Captain were experimenting with some tones to find the ultimate welcome to the jungle, Guns N’ Roses tone. I think we were quite successful especially with the delays and overdrive thanks to the Marshall AFD amplifier and this Gibson Les Paul 

Advanced Finger Tapping Exercise


This is a finger tapping exercise that I used to practice quite a lot about 15 years ago. It’s useful for moving through chords and adding some melodic Arppegiated phrases over progressions. I was using an ESP horizon plugged into a Bogner amplifier 

Discovering an Incredible Busker - Nelly


Although I have since lost contact with Nelly, he was a very inspiring person and I was very grateful to be able to help him in any way at all! The fact that Geoff Beck walked past him and said what the hell are you doing here? speaks volumes

Chappers and the Captain at Andertons demonstrating this incredible PRS SE Guitar which for some reason had unbelievable infinite sustain and in beautiful harmonic overtones especially coupled with this Victory Silverback amplifier 

How To Play a Pinch Harmonic


15 years ago, I decided to teach how to play a pick squeal/pinch harmonic - this is a technique that I always really enjoyed as a fan of Zakk Wylde, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. This PRS custom 24 coupled with my orange Rockerverb 50 amplifier really were the perfect partners for this demonstration.
