50K Subs Special 🎸 Guitaristas Studio Tour & Channel Update

[@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]

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! 😂👍

🍄 top man

[@Furtheronmusic]

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

[@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.

[@RR-qi1zw]

This is seriously my favorite guitar “hangout” time

[@5150show]

Wicked! Congratulations mate , cheers from New Zealand

[@eggweed_productions]

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

[@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!

[@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! 😁👍🙏

[@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! 😁👍

[@josephg8222]

The sequin F**K OFF pillow was a nice touch!! Thanks for the back story. This is one of my favorite channels .

[@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! 😁🙏

[@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.

[@PedroMiguel-if3ll]

The end with Zappa's song was just perfect! Thanks for sharing your story! 🤘

[@gibgibGG]

Your stance on not accepting free gear to review allows you to maintain 100% integrity, and provides you with the freedom to speak your mind freely. This kind of commitment sets you apart for sure. Your plan to add TV subscribers to support that view is a visionary plan that I'm quite happy to support . 🎸👍😊

[@theguitaristas]

Thanks mate that’s really appreciated! 😊🙏

[@victorparadise5878]

Thank you for all the videos!!! This is the best guitar show there is.

[@andywharam59]

Wow what a talented guy you are, I love the fact that you were a manager in the comedy industry & TV stuff & having your own band, I can understand why you have turned to guitar 🎸 playing on your Brilliant KZbin channel as a hobby and an interest, your passion shines through, a great way to relax & entertain us on your channel, i look forward to more of the same🎸

[@wayneharvey9189]

Well done, I always look forward to sitting down with you every Saturday

Well, Colin, if it helps keep you "on the air", I'm an old geezer (retired 13 years) born the same year as the Gibson Les Paul and whenever I wake up on Friday morning one of my first thoughts is "It's Guitaristas day" to enjoy with the morning coffee. Congratulations and keep it up.

[@dbmcel]

Hoorah! Very happy for you, my friend. Delighted for the success of my favorite channel.

[@russellgibson7558]

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!

[@TheEssexCat]

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

Spiffing good show ole chap. It’s also great to see Essex being well represented-Looking forward to the next 50k

[@tmac3975]

My favourite channel on KZbin bar none. I love the format, love seeing all the instruments. I would not put you at intermediate as a player though, you are so much better than you give yourself credit for.

[@monmixer]

You have my support. One the best review channels on you tube for sure.

[@YOSTINATOR]

I like your vision Colin. Cheers mate, 🍺

[@alexanderewing3779]

A big 10-4 for your efforts, Colin. It's refreshing to have a guitar channel that is both entertaining and informative but is not trying to glog stuff! Keep on Rockin'!

[@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.

[@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]

[@jonwebb5241]

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!

[@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.

[@shawnchadwick4943]

I look forward to Friday mornings with coffee and your channel. Great content! And your background explains the great production and photography quality. Well done sir and keep it up. 🎉

Congratulations. I have watching since close to the beginning. You have my continuing support.

I know Colin, I've been to his studio and he did some work on one of my guitars. He's exactly as he appears, a genuinely nice helpful, humble bloke.

Happy to be a part of this family. Love your reviews and look forward to your posts. You manage to stay personal with us, and that is not wasted on me. Wishing you an eventual million subs!

[@TommySG1]

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and your very awesomely cool studio Colin! Very interesting story you told about your experiences to say the least, I know you mentioned not to say ‘cong…….’ So I’ll just leave this off that I’m real glad for you and your channel on KZbin. I enjoy your feeds each week and look forward to them. Thanks for all that you do, My best, Tommy~

[@grog5564]

Congratulations on the 50K subs Colin, I hope there are many more for you.

[@markpell8979]

Thanks for everything, Colin! Most of your viewers would never imagine the size and complexity of your facility and how much money and work you've invested. I really enjoyed this behind-the-scenes look, it was eye-opening. It's pretty amazing you pull this operation off by yourself but I can easily envision a staff employed by you, busily turning out content and maybe even producing and recording artists and bands. I'm one of your earliest YT subscribers from back when we were all locked away by covid, and the channel became one of my main and best sources of entertainment then. I'm proud to be a subscriber but I'm a geezer with no income now, retired by circumstances way before I planned, so I'm a freeloader on the channel and feel guilty about it at times. I'll join when my budget has more breathing room and start paying you back in small part for your hard work entertaining and informing us so far. I hope to see you continue to grow and eventually prosper with your dream for the channel. Btw my exercise bike is also a clothes hanger. Cheers!

[@theguitaristas]

Hey Mark, I appreciate your support along the journey and definitely don't want to alienate anyone not able support with $ ... so keep watching here is more than enough as it all adds up at the end of the day and is equally appreciated!

Love the channel Colin and just like many of the other comments, I agree that what makes it great is your genuinely understated and self-deprecating 'talent'... You've managed to successfully gather your life and professional work experience to produce a unique channel. It also helps that you seem to love a lot of the same music as me ! Here's to getting that plaque for the wall !! 🙂
