50K Subs Special 🎸 Guitaristas Studio Tour & Channel Update

[@garretazonsa]

Kudos on 50k! Seriously, it should easily be 500k. This is the best and most relatable YT channel I know. Here's to the next 50k!

[@jrb92163]

Good for you. Keep it up

[@j.jester7821]

I agree there should be more subscribers. The problem is there are literally billions of online vids of people unboxing stuff. most of its rubbish.

[@Xaltar_]

A channel for gear by a man with a plan It's been three years and he's done all he can For all his hard work, we now shed a tear A tear of pure joy over all of the gear Fifty odd thousand have stopped here on by To take in a waffle from a stand up guy So here's to you at fifty K Here's me hoping, you'll be here to stay! Keep it coming, it is appreciated 🤘

[@theguitaristas]

Loving your work too! 😁👍🙏

[@MrJago11]

I have Fridays off Colin and it’s a complete joy to watch you every week!! Great effort and well done!! You deserve it👍🎸🎸🎸

[@lithicus321]

Cheers for 50

[@michaelszarzynski8698]

50K... Hell yeah!!!

[@Joe-mz6dc]

We love you.

[@TheClassicQ]

KA BAMM! Quite rightly!

[@simonwarner3601]

May your channel always be met with high approbation. Cheers!

[@theguitaristas]

😆👍

[@joederosas5654]

Congrats Colin! I always learn something new from you, MUCH APPRECIATED SIR, ROCK ON!

[@jerryshade4333]

Simply smashing!

[@benlyford4112]

Cracking job Colin and well deserved! So not only have you directly been responsible for selling me 3 guitars (2 lp outfits and a 61 sg), you’re also responsible for making some of my favourite stand up specials. There’s no other channels I’d give this much time to. The content is king. See you over on the channel

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers man! 😁👍

[@TheMorischannel]

Even if you are able to afford a crew and start pumping out videos daily it's not necessarily the best way because quantity does not equal quality. We subscribed because we enjoy watching You. If it was up to me, 1 good video per week is plenty enough. Having said that, I'm happy for you and wish you all the best!

[@danrunnoft6642]

Enjoy your vacation Colin. Maybe you can take another one when you hit 500k.

[@iannicholls7476]

That’s simply spiffing news. Bravo Colin! There you go, that’s different. I’m signing up for your TV channel.

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers Ian! 😁👍

[@niallkennedy_]

So well deserved Colin can't believe you haven't got more to be honest.Without a doubt the best guitar channel on KZbin.

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Well done you!

[@GronwRoberts]

Llongyfarchiadau Col! A bit of Welsh for you. I always look forward to your videos, they always pick me up. I loved seeing your studio, you've done a great job. Nice one!

[@howardwilkins4601]

I am the 1 in 50k !! Love the channel, long may it continue.

[@jonthurston8275]

What a great episode!

[@MrPinkStrat]

Great News Hope you Get To 50,000 Soon .... Then Onwards to 100,000 No reason your Wonderful Channel Can't Get There !👋👋🤟🤟

[@macauley70]

You have a honest channel.. thanks for your hard work and very interesting and complete reviews and other things from Barcelona.. Rock´n´roll

[@stuahlers1528]

Good job mate, wish you 50k more! Chers!

[@sprintingforsigns]

Loved the video and was very excited to hear about your dreams and plans. Have a great break, definitely the channel I watch religiously. So thanks for all the hard work on producing no BS content.

[@ChristianParschau]

Sehr gut from Germany, Colin, well deserved !!!

[@jacobpittman1996]

You’ve quite an impressive body Of work!

[@ChristopherLeeShreds]

Lmao so that is alot of subscribers. I discovered your channel while knee deep in a gas fit for an Esquire. I did purchase one and I can say your video was a deciding factor. Keep it up. Sending love from Sunny California.

[@jt009b7994]

[@Charlies247]

Tidy!

[@mosancreations]

Happy to see your channel is doing well! I've enjoyed hours of your work and I appreciate the way you talk to your viewers. No hype or drama, just a calm, friendly and very honest dive into the instruments. Thank you!

[@andrewdempsey5312]

Keep on strumming! Cue the Bill & Ted air guitar shredding.

[@jacob_miller]

Bloody good onya cobba. 50k is pretty grouse but in my mind ya worth 500k. Keep it up legend! Big love from Australia 😊

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers man! 😁👍

[@brianjames5685]

You have more subs than the Royal Atlantis Naval fleet. Well done.

[@theguitaristas]

🤣👍

[@Frettedchaos]

Great work man!

[@marcob6880]

You're kicking ass and strumming D5 chords Colin, keep it up, strip it down, plug it back in and do it all over again.

[@billfarries3238]

Only 50000 get your fingers old guys 👌🤘🎸

[@pbshobby4183]

Congrats and Thanks Colin. You eased a lot of us through the Pandemic. And for me, provided valuable focus for my GAS attacks. (The US guitar economy owes some of its success to you) Appreciate you sharing your backstory. Thanks for what you do.

[@paulcoleman3081]

Absolutely spiffing and splendid work Colin.

[@bronzesnake7004]

Your "plannin board" is blank!! Makes for zero disappointment!! Forward thinking, and a shut eye for the future! I like that! ") Awesome set up bro! You used to be a millionaire!! Seriously though you've done some awesome work there and your video production including content, info, editing, education etc is top drawer Colin, I really mean that!!! GOLF CLAP!! Jack ~'()'~

[@theguitaristas]

😎🙏 Thanks brother.

[@nicktzelepis]

Thanks for sharing this Colin. Another great video and you look cool as always!!! Where are the flying (or falling) birds? Did you manage to break them all? Cheers to another 50K :)

[@S-T-E-V-E]

Libations and Merriment! The channel is a must watch for me every week Col! Thanks for your hard work mate, I'm sure the channel will continue to grow and reward your effort mate!

[@manahaas]

Bedankt

[@manahaas]

This is your best video. Personal and upclose. Love this channel

[@theguitaristas]

🌟 thanks mate that’s really appreciated 😊🙏 😁👍

[@michaelchiasson9088]

Well done Colin, a most interesting story and your channel is one of the best and worthy of your viewers time. I enjoy your laid back personality and production style.

[@chrishenderson9130]

Congrats! You've earned this! Never quit playing and being the coolest guitar dude on KZbin. Cheers!!!!!

[@CountryLifeChannel]

Wow, amazing achievement and yet still overshadowed by your long term visions and goal. I am signing up to the TV channel purely because I believe in what you want to do and i think you can really pull it off !

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers, with your support we'll give it a go! 😊🙏

[@TheRealChetManley]

All the best Colin, this is the ONLY guitar channel that I watch every episode. Chase the dream my friend, you will get there. Looking forward to 100k. Damn man! What a studio location! Here I thought you were filming in your basement!

[@CHWayOutWest]

Howdy’ Col’. This is easily my favorite channel on YT. Thanks for sharing your studio! 👍🏿

[@usacool88]

Best channel on youtube. Thanks for doing what you do Colin.

[@sunjamm222]

Well done on getting to 50k. Thanks to you, now I have 2 extra guitars now. LOL

[@poesybeat]

Congrats! We appreciate all the hard work you put into the channel!

[@aitken1965]

Thanks for making such informative and entertaining videos, Colin. I feel like I’m right there in the studio when I watch your videos.

[@timklemons7205]

Fine job! You're videos have brought more joy than you can imagine and are the reason I got back into playing electric guitar. I sincerely thank you.

[@bp-0139]

🎉🎊🎈🎉!

[@GraemeCampbellMusic]

Loved this Colin. Your channel is such a good thing and a lovely escape for an hour on a Thursday night/ Friday. I often watch while I'm packing up to go do a gig. If I ever bump into you when I'm visiting deepest darkest Essex then I'll get you a pint in. 😃

[@bryonkidder6199]

Great channel! Great content! Cheers on 50k! Now onto 100k!

[@barrycole]

Once I found the Ass Looper video, I knew this was the place for my viewing. Cheers and God Bless.

[@the195111]

BRAVO MAESTRO !

[@pingoleto]

Felicidades desde España.

[@nateshewell6509]

Beautifully done. I had never noticed your subscribers count, but honestly I assumed this channel was even more popular than it is based on the quality and quantity of content. Glad to have been here for the first 50k!

[@TheWGLOVER]

You are well worth way more than that.

[@GypsyLane]

Great to be part of the 50,000, Cheers! Do you have T Shirts…I’ll send you some designs if you like!

[@theguitaristas]

Hey Robert, yes I'd be interested to see any ideas for sure! My own idea is I'd like a MC club style thing rather than any novelty nonsense, so if you're a whizz designer gimme some ideas if you have time. email: [e-mail] cheers mate!

[@hisproperty1438]

Onya Col! Fuggin shit-hot effort, mate. Keep it up. Andrew

[@josephthomas8325]

Good show, Mate !

Morning Jonny!

[@hugeys]

Cliff Richard wanted to sing you a song but I stopped him don’t worry You deserve more and you will get there

[@mgdew]

spiffing work old bean - that was my attempt at not using the C word... I like the honest approach, and would be interested to see the community side of it grow. I have thus decided to give you my hard earned money monthly on the TV channel, keep up the great work, and I would love to see more Tokai stuff ;-)

[@theguitaristas]

Top hole that's appreciated! 😆👍

[@mgdew]

@@theguitaristas I’m also definitely envious of your studio and setup mate.

[@alexhudson3574]

lol you look younger now than in the studio tour

[@theguitaristas]

🤣👍

[@Darth.Shredder]

Integrity. You have it. Most "influencers" with hundreds of thousands of subscribers do not. Thank you for proving that honesty and passion can be successful motivators.

[@theguitaristas]

😊🙏

[@theguitaristas]

Thanks again everyone for your support!! 😊🙏 and don't forget if you comment the 'C' word and most celebration emojis are blocked to stop the telegram scammers... so use alternative and creative ways of congratulating me if you so wish! 😁👍 Edit: I still just retrieved about 50 comments from spam folder!! 🤣🤣

[@gearmeister]

Excellent, Mr Guitarista! Very happy to hear your milestone, I'd thought you were at 500k because the only thing I pay attention to is your great breakdown of these "chosen" guitars!

[@adzydog1433]

I loved to have a pint with you and chat bollocks about guitars 😂 love the vids keep up the good work

[@gearmeister]

@@adzydog1433 Me too! 😂👍

[@paullee5449]

🍄 top man

[@Furtheronmusic]

Round of applause to you. Interesting to now know some of the back story.

[@jakeerbst4073]

Colin, I want to thank you sincerely, for putting so much work into having the best guitar channel on KZbin. I hope everyone gets on board with your vision for the tv channel too, as I can’t wait to see what you do with that.

[@aitken1965]

Hear hear!

[@eggweed_productions]

I think the reason you’ve been successful is that you are genuine. You’re yourself. Good work mate - you deserve it!

[@RR-qi1zw]

This is seriously my favorite guitar “hangout” time

[@GuitarAtoZ1]

Speaking for myself and many others im sure, im drawn to the channel coz of your passion and authenticity Colin in your reviews and content.. Its refreshing in this day and age and it's deeply admirable you turn down payments and endorsements to keep it all legit, and we value that big time. Including all of that the reviews are really informative and always include a few laughs which is so enjoyable. We NEED a channel like this as guitar nerds and players. Im going to subscribe to the TV channel. Thanks for all you do, massive kudos to you on the 50k and here's to 100k mate - Keep em coming!! 🤘

[@theguitaristas]

😊🙏

[@gearmeister]

Colin, I must say that you come across to me at least as "the mad scientist of the guitar world" that's the attraction to me, keep up the interesting work! Thanks for the background story! Very cool!

[@TheEssexCat]

Very well done Colin, great achievement, always a treat on a Friday.

[@timparker4228]

Lovely old job Colin. I have no doubt that the channel will continue to grow because in a sea of overproduced and trite channels, you have the one thing many of us want: authenticity. Cheers mate, for keeping me company each Friday.

[@5150show]

Wicked! Congratulations mate , cheers from New Zealand

[@geordiejohn3703]

You deserve a lot more than 50,000, more like 50 million subs! I joined the TV channel last week to try and give something back and it’s great really enjoying it. It seems the least I can do for all the work you put in this honest and genuine channel and after 30 years playing acoustic I bought a Les Paul after watching your reviews and haven’t looked back, or played my acoustic since! Lol Thanks and best wishes to you and the future of the channel.

[@BeantownToBigD]

Killer studio and interesting backstory. Thank you for bringing smiles to our faces each Friday.

[@Holonomics]

This is absolutely fascinating. I've only recently discovered your channel and had been longing to ask about your background, assuming you had been in a major band some time back, but I thought it would have been too rude to ask. I loved the tour and had no idea what a labyrinth you have created. All the very best for the future.

[@damclauchlan]

May you keep growing and bringing the great content. I am new to the guitar world and really enjoy your content, because of the honesty you put into it.. I bought a Epiphone 59 Les Paul cherry burst after watching your review, and it is a fantastic guitar.

[@volvot5boy]

Amazing work Colin 👍 I only discovered your channel earlier this year and I love it. I love your honesty and playing. I’ve watched your videos for the early years and your confidence from then until now really shows. Keep up your great work my friend. You’ve also convinced me to potentially buy an Epiphone 59 les Paul standard. Would love to see you do a D’angelico review. I have a premier mini dc 😉

[@j.jester7821]

So does the studio lease out time to bands and artist for music production? if not why not? what did you eat for breakfast? who are the other people there? Do you rent or own? Do the neighbors complain about the noise? Do you sleep there? Are there any bug problems? spider? i hate spiders. Have you ever eaten boudin sausage from louisiana? its delicious. I have so many questions so little time. its the end of the world you know. Too much coffee today. I will watch the video to get some answers.

[@5150show]

500k no problem

[@FenderMarko47]

Have subscribed to help you along you way, thanks for the content and I'm sure I'm not alone when I say id like to hear some more about your own personal journey with alternative comedy.

[@paullee5449]

My local community centre had a local cab driver who was Classically trained on the guitar. He was great . Down to earth and taught us kids at the time ( 35 years ago ) guitar and music for free as we had nothing I'll always remember Ted. He's so like you in personality except he was Scouse. Guitars stayed with me all this time and I'm sure you're inspiring people as well . Love this channel because of you and your knowledge Keep going forever fella 🎸 P.s. I've just subscribed to your TV channel after seeing your set up and hearing the hours you put in 👍

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers mate, see you there! 😁🙏

[@Edward1312]

Great to see what you've got in the lock-up Colin, nice tour, impressive what you have built and amassed and the quality of the editing of your video's is also impressive. Great to see you using your skills to branch out into a new career. I like the enterprising approach. Saw Malcolm Hardee a lot in Up the Creek in Greenwich when I lived there, back in the 90's!

[@theguitaristas]

Cheer Edward, I loved Malcolm and worked with him a few times back in the day! 🙌🙌

[@Nick051967]

Some ‘lock up’ 😅. Loved this insight into the channel. No hesitation in signing up for the TV channel

[@danadavis9121]

Colin, you've turned mucking about, with conviction, into a sustainable lifestyle. Bloody great accomplishment. I love the weekly bits. I'll be signing up for the TV bits, as well.

[@chasiebabe]

Great videos Colin, I think they're great. Even if it's a piece of gear I wouldn't buy you still hold my attention

[@bedroomstudios205]

Well done sir! This Channel reminds me of hanging around my local studio when I was younger and talking about guitars and gear with the other music minded people. I hope to see you accomplish your vision. Salutations from Australia.

[@joehahn8817]

Congratufuckinglations!!!😉😁

[@zer0dave]

Fantastic work, sir! Your coverage helped me buy my Epiphone 50's gold top and it's my most played guitar. Cheers!

[@nikosmagnisalis6080]

That's really amazing!! I think you deserve to take off that pick guard from your Les Paul :)

[@theguitaristas]

Too late it’s off! 🤣

[@ereimul1444]

lets clap our hand. round of applause. well deserved.

[@alexbaxter8291]

The Guitaristas, the only good thing that has come out of the pandemic and 50,000 (so far) people agree. Take the plaudits Colin and go and have a good lie down.

[@ManuelSanchez-kr7xw]

Felicidades Colin! Greetings from Spain! You are a real influencer! I bought at least 2 guitars because of your reviews, an epiphone firebird and the gibson sg ‘61 faded, and I’m immensely happy with both instruments… You do a great job!!

[@jaymax3201]

I like the Gibson Les Paul Studio videos. I was very motivated to repair the 2001 model with my own hands. Thanks！

[@kurtc2894]

Excellent example of making lemonade out of lemons. Always have your channel on the background while fiddling around with my guitars and gear. The pandemic brought me back to the guitar after a 30+ year hiatus. Keep up the great work!

[@NickBlakey]

Thoroughly enjoy your output. Cliff Richard (Eurovision 1968) to you and your team.

[@edsonmontana]

Gracias por compartir y ayudar tanto a toda la audiencia con todo lo que hace, saludos! 🇲🇽

[@KelsterVonShredster]

"guitar based ponzy scheme"....LOL...love it. I used to live in England as a child (my dad was a Canadian diplomat posted in London) and you're the cool British uncle I never had. Congrats on 50,000 (well 49.7K as of today lol) and looking forward to following the evolution of your channel. Cheers!
