[@joesatchton212]

Only complaint: this episode should have been twice as long...Every day, the Cap gets closer to becoming the Johnny Carson of youtube guitar channels. Brilliant.

[@LostMyMojo100]

That's a huge compliment!!! And accurate!

[@alessandrorossini8704]

Right

[@joesatchton212]

@@LostMyMojo100 Haha, thanks folks! Nice to see some people around here who actually remember Carson. XD Indeed, it was meant as a total compliment to the Cap. And of course, Pete Thorn is definitely IMO the benchmark for guitar gear vids, demos and reviews, although Rhett Shull is a very close second these days. Cheers folks and thanks for all the thumbs ups!

[@CentaurusRelax314]

Carson? How about Dick Cavett?

[@joesatchton212]

@X E Perhaps...or maybe Ed McMahon...JK ROB!! You're no sofa sidekick!

[@rollingtones1298]

Not just an excellent guitar player, but seems like an excellent dude! Go Canada!

[@ericwarrington6650]

This guy's one of our finest musicians in the us and first class human

[@hrlarson]

Pete Thorn is a class act, humble and seems to pick up every vibe in the room so everyone can feel relaxed and that they got attention. If the aliens contact us, send this guy to the front and we will all be ok.

[@strings2wood]

A much more 'authentic' interview with a guitar and player who delivers real value.

[@Oilid]

"Let's quickly put another video with a lovely humble guy! That Agnesi video was such inauthentic!"

[@andrewmcdonald5704]

Saw Chris Cornell on tour after Audioslave split. He was great but I was transfixed with his band, the guitarists were unbelievably slick that night. Only when I watched Pete Thornes tribute to Chris Cornell some years later did I realise who the brilliant nameless session guitarist was. Pete can play anything he's asked to play, not just able to play his own stuff, great video maker, always modest comes across as a genuinely decent man . Captain is an A grade interviewer, knows about his subjects but let's them do the talking and teases personal stuff out of them. Great watch.

[@richardhuckle5715]

From what I have seen, Pete Thorn is probably the best demonstrator on KZbin. Very thorough approach and entertaining at the same time.

[@jeffreyesguitar5129]

Richard Huckle I almost don’t have to watch his demo to know it will be a good pedal. I just search the pedal on KZbin and if it shows up on one of his videos, I’ll def consider it.

[@aymericmarchand3472]

Pete Thorn is my definition of "authentic".

[@paperstr33tdanny]

How much I wished there was a jam segment of Danish Pete and LA Pete.

[@mikemartin6554]

agreed! that would be epic!

[@ronmercer7766]

Pete Thorn, the legend. Great player, brilliant teacher and really nice fellow. Fine work from Lee in the interviewers chair and all the production people as well. Splendid example of how to do a KZbin chat show.

[@ZappaBlues]

Very personable guy. Saw him on the street in Edmonton a couple of years ago. Talked to him for a couple minutes. Very easy to talk to. Nice little memory.

[@TheGuitarModder]

Pete is an absolute gent. Went to his recent clinic in Edinburgh. Really nice genuine guy, very knowledgeable. Watching him work was a pleasure.

[@Alec_McCloskey]

I remember in about 2007 learning eruption in about 7 parts from him. Still follow Pete to this day. The guy is an absolute genius and extremely talented player.

[@erictoniaschwab1009]

Alec McCloskey Yes. His videos are the reason I was finally able to play Eruption. Will always be grateful for that.

[@Scratch_Monsters_Golf]

Pete’s “Eruption” video was the first time I realized that KZbin could be a great resource for learning tunes. I was stoked! Unfortunately, I quickly realized that not many channels in that day could compete with a musician of Pete’s caliber. Stoked turned quickly to disappointment. Today, however, there are tons of monster players to learn from but he was one of the OGs in the KZbin guitar lesson/channel game. And he is still at the top of the heap along with a couple others 🤘🏼

[@henrymoreno]

Every time Pete thorn does story time, you learn a lot and very fascinating. Such a amazing and humble dude! Also monster player! I’m glad I met him at the Baked Potato! Very authentic guy! Lol

[@PeteThorn]

Henry 562 thanks Henry!!!!

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Looking forward to watching this one! Pete’s one of the sweetest guys you could wish to meet. He can play guitar a bit too...!

[@newworld9133]

I have watched about 40 hours of Pete Thorn interviews in the last week or so. If I ever grow up, I want to be Pete Thorn!

[@simonnaji]

I think this was the best "Captain Meets ..." to date. Pete is such a great and articulate guy and a great musician. Lee seemed more relaxed with Pete than any other guest, and it all flowed so easily. Thanks to all involved.

[@PeteThorn]

simon naji thanks, was a blast hanging with Lee! Good times

[@Theseasider69]

I see this title and click play and ‘like’ immediately. I’ve been looking forward to this for ages. 2 of my favourite and most decent youtubers in one go. Fantastic stuff!!

What a fantastic interview. Thanks to you both.

[@squashedmike]

I'd kill to sit down for some beers with The Captain and Pete Thorn!! Two of my favourite people on KZbin!!!

Been waiting for this for well over a year. Thank you Lee.

Two of my most favorite KZbin channels brought together. Awesome. Thank you Guys!

I could sit down with a pot of coffee and just let Pete talk all day. What a great guy, and amazing musician!

The coming together of two of my favourite guitar channels. Great video guys. Pete is a total legend.

[@vegardfladby1621]

Always a pleasure when Captn releases a new «meets» 🥳

[@BootleggerPhil]

How is it that Pete plays & presents like a mo fo on fire, and still make us all feel like we're in the same game as he? Plus, Lee is fast becoming a brilliant interviewer, very good at bringing out the subject.

[@Claimjumper55]

Stoked to see Pete on here. I absolutely love my Suhr Pete Thorn sig guitar and will be taking a serious look at that amp.

[@mattheweastel129]

Great interview, so interesting to hear Pete’s back story. And that amp, wow! If I was a pro musician I would go straight for it. Love the consistent mic’d cab sounds. It’s just everything you need. Outstanding

[@TheMrCull]

The Captain really shines in this format. Cool interview!

[@toddflowers8052]

Another great guest ! Thanks Lee !

[@NelderGuitar]

Pete is so damn musical. A pleasure to listen to him play. Great interview, Cap!

[@SFolkes97]

Wow, thanks! Best digestible discussion/demo of IR and DI. That clean DI sounds fantastic. I think Pete is really on to something with a portable amp that does all this. A decent 1X12 would give all the feedback you need while the amp handles everything else. Gear + Interview = Well done!

[@avbsvideo]

Trying to figure how/why this video would get a thumbs down? Great video and two very nice guys!

[@npc2071]

Pete Thorn's video explaining compression pedals is the only video that made me understand compression pedals

What a privilege to have a long form interview with Mr.Thorn! Would be hard pressed to find a more humble professional and true class act of a guy. Thank you Captain and rest of Andertons crew for such a treat!

[@WyattWillis88]

and good lord what a tone! cant think of anything else I would ever want out of an amp! Mr.Suhr is a living legend whose knowledge of tone is almost savant like. How can one man be so supreme at building guitars and be a electronics wizard with amps? Would trade ten years to be able to be as good at one of those things!

[@donatobaonguis4315]

I learned to play Eruption because of Pete Thorn...great teacher!!
