[@danishpete]

Just wanted to hop on here and say thank you to everyone for your kind words and amazing support. I means the world to me and I really appreciate it. All my best, Pete

[@alexander_winston]

Pete you’re the man! You’re guitar playing is inspirational.

[@DutchVai]

You're an excellent story teller.... this is a wonderful piece here.

[@squirelova1815]

It's about time we knew more about Pete the Legend!

[@ShadeHope1969]

Been watching you since you came on board at Andertons ,what a ride,Maybe I will get to catch you at a NAMM or my dream to visit Andertons one day, Until then i will be watching,Learning and laughing with you guys, I love your playing,Thanx for being You, Knoxville Tn.USA

[@dean3323]

Loved this video Pete!! Awesome stuff....as usual!!! 😊

[@ShadeHope1969]

I Think Pete should Really know how many people love him around the world. Pete is a gift to us all.

[@Online_Lawyer_UK]

To me, he's the ultimate guitarist. In terms of tone and genres he plays, he just has the whole package. Brilliant guy, amazing player!

[@ShadeHope1969]

@@Online_Lawyer_UK I agree 100%

[@scottdematteo]

Well said. I agree.

[@oliverchapman51177]

I agree. Humble, kind, knows exactly how to play with different levels of players, and gives honest feedback

[@paulillingworth90]

Seems to be a really nice light hearted guy. I’d like to hang with em an talk guitar

[@Hexonip]

Man, Pete is a treasure. Thanks for this piece.

[@johnpeterson2035]

I’m a drummer and started playing guitar and now taking guitar lessons at least partly from watching Pete and the Anderton gang during COVID. Thank you Pete!

[@germanomosconi392]

Same! And because Rob Chapman lives in Malta like I do, we became friends and thanks to him I met Pete and all the other dudes at Chapman guitars as well....All the Chapman boys are top lads, super chilled and sooooo friendly. Had an amazing evening with them all!

[@lifeonmars99]

I’ve always thought Lee & Pete should do a theatre tour, anecdotes, back story, influences, playing. I’d pay to see that as I’m sure others would.

[@michaelhockham5663]

Absolutely agree. It worked for the old Top Gear Chimps!

[@firebald2915]

Pete has a knack for playing and comedy like Roy Clark. The most glorious element about Pete is his passion and humility. He is Gifted beyond measure and his back story is so compelling for us wanna be guitarists. Purple Pete.... I watched the anguish on your face after the blindfold T- style shootout... not knowing your purple tele was in the mix. Your playing it and the feel really did shine thru as it being your own. You did guess it before taking the blindfold off. The romance between you and that instrument will never end. Love your history and thanks for sharing to us all.

[@hollywoodactress]

Such a good interview It is clear Pete has gotten to where he his from his kindness and willingness to help others and give anything and everything a go (gigs and jobs). Plus his dedication to do the best at the job at hand, whether it be playing the gig as the musical director has asked or learning to make KZbin video from zero knowledge. That is why we follow you, thank you for inspiring us to play guitar ❤

[@rikkousa]

Great comment. Reminds me of the Zig Ziegler quote,”you can get anything you want, if you help enough other people, get what they want”

[@LunaGuitars68]

"why are people coming to see me"...people come to see you because you inspire others and are an amazing guitar player!!

[@tomerglottman5783]

The morals of the story, be a good person, practice, be on time, dont be an asshole, do your stuff, be friendly and nice to others.... Pete you are a legend

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

Never get tired of hearing his history. This one had more details than previous. Really dug the old pictures and footage of his performances.

[@yayayaokoksure]

Pete is one of the greatest guitar players in history. I have no reservations making that statement.

[@baldbearded9601]

I really enjoyed this interview. Already loved Pete's playing and his sense of humour, but this showed the human side, and he seems like a genuine, generous, happy, good dude! Your success is well deserved 👌

[@gavinsolomon2711]

Plus one. Well said!

[@MrRocketguitar]

What a nice guy.

[@Fallub]

Pete is such a great guy and character. Always friendly and so much talent… every single jam from him is magic.

[@randyringler6847]

Pete is such a down to earth guy. Amazing player and one of the biggest reasons I watch Anderson’s KZbin channel. Amazing story. All the best!

[@MartinBaldock]

To hear Petes story from the man himself is a treat, and his experience is something that should be taught to all aspiring musicians.

[@henningcurtiswalter]

Pete is a musician, we all enjoy and love. He knows what he is talking about and has so much experiance. He puts a smile on my face, even, if I am sad or tired. This guy is the living example of: if you follow your heart, your way can turn to gold. I wish all the best for you.😊

[@DeathMetalGuitar]

Love for Danish Pete Honore - totally inspirational - the whole musical life unfolding from Copenhagen to Anderton's was awesome :)

[@bartkdt]

Pete’s a good guy. He’s my favorite player. Beautiful natural feel and above all very tasteful playing. Always the right notes on time.

[@MoreMeRecording]

This is what's great about guitar and guitar players. You never know how they will resonate with someone as the experience is unique to everyone. I am a fan of Pete's, and think he is a very good player but the fact that he's your "favourite" just goes to show how different we all are.

[@stevem-h3562]

There arent many guitar players that I could sit and listen to all day long. Pete is one of very few. His chord choices are just exquisite, absolutely inspirational to me as a writer.

[@lenablack4264]

I hope for a world where children are encouraged to pursue what they enjoy, sounds like a great school

[@davidhills389]

We always knew Pete was a great guitarist, but this little biography piece confirms what we suspected… that he’s a great human being too! Keep on keepin in, Mr H.

[@user-oo3dv9vq8h]

I was one of the lucky 300 who saw Pete at the Birmingham Guitar Show & was stood only 3 feet in front of him...the set was amazing and he came across as a really nice guy who could do things with a guitar that I can only dream of. I took up guitar 15 months ago at the age of 66 & discovered Andertons on KZbin. Pete and The Captain have been an inspiration & it's just a shame I didn't try guitar at an earlier age. Keep up the good work and I hope you achieve your ambition of touring again...maybe you could be the star on stage this time!! PS. I visited Denmark this time last year and love the place and the people & I will be going back there.

[@xocnibor]

I always smile when I think of Pete. Good dude.

[@bretspangler8717]

As a guitarist I really enjoy musicians' origin stories, what motivated and excited them about music and guitars. Pete is the perfect example of a great work ethic and being ready when opportunity knocks and being a likable guy, no one wants to work with difficult people. This is the story I was hoping for, thanks, Pete!

[@soulassasin10]

Gotta love Pete. Such a humble down to earth and exceptional guitar player 💜💜🎸🔥🔥

[@tomshoemaker662]

Clearly a great guy and great guitarist!! What Pete and the Andertons guys have created transcends just being videos to sell gear, they’ve created legit entertainment for the millions of guitar players and fans around the world. Couldn’t be happier for Pete, this was wonderful!

[@Drinckx2]

Always good to see more Danish Pete. Not only a very talented musician but very accessible, smart and entertaining.

[@GazP23]

What a treat that was. Such a humble guy for somebody with so much talent. Absolutely loved that.

[@XENONEZZ2]

That was a wonderful way to spend 38 minutes... what a great guy...!!.

[@nungu60a]

Your self discipline and humility is what I admire about you, Pete. Thank you.

[@tomcarmody5471]

I was lucky enough to meet you at the NAMM show this year in Anaheim at the Chapman booth. You happened to be standing off to the side by yourself for a minute. I picked up the guitar at 59 after I retired and you have been a huge inspiration to me. Your playing is just beautiful. I love the Andertons videos and my favorite parts are always the into and outro jams. I'm glad to hear your life story. Great interview.

[@derick-smith]

I could see Pete performing a one man show some day. Maybe when the girls are grown. He could hold down a solid 90 minutes between his playing and telling stories of his life. I'd gladly pay to see that! Such a positive and humble guy.

[@matthewellis87]

Danish Pete is the best!! Thanks!!

[@billychimusic]

Respect to Pete for walking the walk.

[@cyrilhaessig27]

Talent and humility do not often come together. Great interview Pete 👍

[@billtaylor4897]

Humility is a powerful thing, in the hands of a Master...

[@sdy30]

Great video. Pete is an amazing player, a truly nice guy and completely humble. He deserves all the success he’s had. Outstanding!

[@snappy-strat-snacks1551]

Great getting to know Pete a bit better. He seems like the kind of guy I would have a pint or two with...

[@YesItsReallyKeith]

Don't leave Andertons Pete !!!!! you are a big part of the reason we watch !!! cheers !!!!

[@JoshuaC923]

Pete is a great example of good things happen to good people, a great listen!

[@tallalexander]

Even after all these experiences and after all this time, it seems to me that Pete, still can’t believe or understand why it all happened to him. A humble character. A amazing musician and inspiration. Thanks to all involved with this interview and video 👍🏻

[@ButWhatDoIKnow]

I love to hear your tasty and soulful guitar licks on Anderton videos. God has blessed your hands with tone, Pete. He gave you music. He puts it in you, draws it out, and orchestrates all the stuff you say was "surreal". Thanks for sharing.

[@daveowens]

It's interesting I hear Pete talk about John Mayer so much bc to me, Pete's much more of an inspiration to me than the latter, with killer chops, soul, and seems to be a great chap.

[@jimbo6036]

I could be listening to Pete all day long. People like him make me think there is still hope for this crazy crazy world.

[@activese]

Pete, so nice to realize that it is not only an idea or perception, you are kind, polite, respectful, honest, humble and hard working, thank you for for being who you are, and helping us by sharing it. Cheers and take care.

[@robinr22]

It's so obvious that he's had the success he's had by the simple approach of being a very nice, ego-less guy who can play guitar exceptionally well. Probably a lesson for all of us there - be kind and good at what you do and you'll be successful and happy.

[@garyshaw1002]

I'd love to meet Pete, what a LEGEND

[@paul_grimsley]

4 million views per month!! That’s Eastenders viewing figures! The thing with Pete and all the Andertons crew is that they’re all so genuine and real. Keep it up Pete, very grateful for all your content.

[@adrian_V99]

Pete is beyond gifted- he's blessed and imparts his essence to those willing to listen. Thank you, Pete.

[@BenoitFlechet64]

Great Musician, great soul for sure ! Thanks Pete for what you do, cheers from Basque country, cheers mate !

[@pilgrim9392]

I love Pete. I was first drawn to Anderton's through Rabea, but then I discovered Pete on the same channel and was very impressed by his playing. Over time Pete became my fav, not only by his playing, which I think is extremely addictive, but also from his laid-back personality. Comes across as one of your best friends that you can relax around and communicate without saying a word......We need more folks like him!!!

[@ThomasG77]

How can you not love Pete ! Cool to know his back story. Thanks

[@StanslaMichael]

One of my favorite guitarist.

[@davidrohland9319]

It’s so nice when good things happen to good people! 🎸 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@nickphillips3951]

The story about buying beer and cigarettes resonates with me. I used to get sent to the shop with a note from my mum "Please can you serve this boy with 20 Benson & hedges, signed Mrs Phillips" would be in trouble if my change was a penny short.

[@danstringer7610]

Pete, you have had an amazing life. Thanks for sharing. I have enjoyed your videos on Andertons. You have made wise decisions(in my opinion). Family first…you will never regret it. Please stay humble and people will always love you.

[@paulbarfoot8072]

A decent and humble bloke!

[@jomarkwh]

Always loved Pete's playing, I could listen to it all day long. Thanks Pete.

[@daftdogjw]

That was such a good watch.... I hope Pete realises just how much the rank and file guitar players admire what he does and how he does it.... Live the life dude, and enjoy every minute of it.... :-)

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

This is right up at the top of all "How I Got My Break" stories. Pete, you are a wonderful example for guitarists (and every other vocation) because your success is directly related to all the hard work and dedication you've applied. Yes, a lot of it is luck and 'who you know', but good things do not happen if The Power Brokers can see you're not enthusiastically and seriously applying yourself to your work. Everything you have achieved thus far in life is directly related to the sort of person you are, and you are a gem. Cheers, mate!

[@BarryGildea]

Kids listen up. Left home at 17. Always had a second job. Didn't complain. So humble. So grateful. Get on with it like Pete!

[@KayakCampingOffGrid]

We love you Pete! Keep giving us your tunes and videos! Yes family is important, finding a work/life balance is super tough. 🧡💛💚💙

[@pimpdaddy7327]

Do it Pete!!! We believe in you brother!!!🎸🇺🇲

[@hellbillygoatboy]

Pete, I’m across the pond, and admittedly hadn’t heard of you... Then watching Andertons, I became a fan of your playing and personality. Both top notch, man. Thanks so much for sharing this! Respects due. I’m a bigger fan now. Humility is noble, mate. You stayed real. Cheers, Pete.😊

[@TheJimboe11]

Wow !!!’ Never knew all this stuff about Pete. I’ve always liked him and thought he’s a gentleman. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Much respect.

[@telekon809]

Great to know you’re story Pete , A fantastic journey many thanks for all your work 👍🏻🎸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👏👏

[@kernelxsanders]

I never thought I'd find someone else who does this, but that's me all the time

[@BradCornock]

Love You Purple Danish Pete!

[@danielcook3361]

Amazing Story, thanks for sharing Pete.

[@nickcabrera3982]

25:06 Not a smart phone in existence. What a wonderful time. Great video and great player!

[@ramonpresta6433]

Beautiful story. Pete looks like such a great dude. I love his playing and sense of humor in Andertons TV videos. I never miss any of his videos.

[@user-ry9hl9lx7e]

Pete always comes across as such a lovely person! Such a fun, friendly, honest and polite aura about him! The right honourable Pete Honoré! 🙌

[@clivedavies3]

Pete your Magic dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@markinthemix6055]

I’m a much bigger fan than I previously was. Yea his charm was already there but l like him more than ever.

[@fusionfan6883]

Pete and Robben Ford would be an incredible combination, their styles would mesh so well.

[@kirkwilson8738]

What a nice guy that is not full of himself.. Pete is such a fantastic Player and he seems like he has a Great Personality.. Would love to have a beer with him and talk Guitar stuff

[@tisbonus]

Love me some Danish Pete! What a talent and a bit of a nut. Good people!

[@MrShotlighter]

Good to know that someone else does the the humming when eating & the teeth drumming thing! I've done the humming/eating since I was a baby & still do it now I'm 66. I do it without realizing & it drives the wife nuts😁

[@whssy]

For a little context that Pete doesn't have time to go into, I do a lot of translation work for the municipality and area where Pete grew up. It is a delightful area of coastland, with the densest population of porpoise anywhere in the world. Fredericia itself was built as a fortress town that saw its fair share of sieges during the Swedish and Slesvig wars and has a very unusual "lattice" street structure. Its historic ramparts still stand today and are well worth a visit (if you do, I translated all the info material). It is "kind of joined" to the (hilariously named to us Brits) town of Middelfart across the water on Funen by a bridge built just before WW2. Fredericia is a very progressive town with more than its fair share of venues and culture. Fredericia theatre even pioneered "Disney musicals" for a decade or so. But, as Pete explains, it has lots of nearby coast and woodland too. The "Free Schools" he talks about are private institutions that follow the Danish state curriculum, but with much more input from the parents, which gives them a certain freedom to do things differently. Much cheaper than English private schools, they usually have long waiting lists and often the choice of progressive parents who can afford to pay a bit extra for their kids' schooling. So they are "free" in the sense that they can follow a slightly different approach rather than "free" as in "doesn't cost anything". We'd have sent our kids to one but the waiting list for the nearest one when me moved to a different area was insane - you really have to write your kids up on the waiting list the day you know you are "expecting". Pete kind of epitomises what us Brits love about Danish people when they are at their best - the calm approach with gentle humour, good manners and plenty of curiosity (don't be fooled - lots of Danes are very rude, miserable and introvertedly hostile). You can't help but like him. Yeah... I married a Danish lady. I'm proud to say that our kids grew into young guys who fit the same "stereotype".

[@mattmorris2867]

Too long.

[@fennarios]

What a well spoken motherfucker

[@alanw559]

Great video. What a lovely guy. Pete’s comments about ‘paying it forward’ really resonated with me. A couple of years back I bought a Dane pedal. After playing it a while I wondered if it had a problem (the only problem it had was me!). I had a rush of blood to my head and one Sunday lunchtime I messaged Pete on Instagram. I was 100% convinced I’d get no reply, just a moment of craziness. Minutes later back came Pete, asking questions, had me send a little video, more questions and advice. I couldn’t have been more amazed. He must have spent an hour or so helping me, a guy he didn’t know from a hole in the ground! In my view a great guitarist, funny as hell and a true gent. Thanks for your time Pete.

[@muziekvoorfeest]

great story and great guitarist and as far as i can see a great guy!!

[@123Ir0nman]

I love the footage they found of young rockstar Pete!

[@BrentAdams]

Amazing Story Pete! Loved taking a little look at your background. THX!

[@quest4tone]

Thanks for sharing Pete’s great story. He’s not only an amazingly humble talented musician but a great storyteller. I loved this guy videos from the first ones I saw and I better understand why now with that context. Pete, keep on staying true to yourself and inspiring us with your golden hands 🙌 and heart 💜😉. Sincerely, Martin from Montreal

[@bobafett4889]

We love you Pete. Thank you for all you share and do. God bless you and your family.

[@MashaT22]

This was really well done! I truly enjoyed this retrospective about Danish Pete - I didn’t know a lot of what he shared. Ty so much for making this!

[@MosesCuzDog]

I'm a drummer and I thought I was the only person to do the teeth drum beats! Haha griding and clacking them together almost all day every day since I was 11. This has blown my mind.

[@dennyclosser8456]

It’s because you are so humble, and just yourself…a good man, a great guitar player, and a sincere human being who cares about other people…people make there own luck too…thanks Pete, I’ll always be watching..

[@billallen1594]

Blackbird first song 😳 naturally talented Pete is for sure Forgot so say he seems like a lovely bloke

[@adrianmoore8840]

I'd like to thank Pete for everything he does and how Any video he's on gets me through many of my days

[@yellowtruckproductions7502]

Pete, I'm really glad you fell into Andertons - always enjoy hearing you play. Hey, maybe you and Lee and Rob should do a gig together from time to time, just to scratch that itch!

[@CommanderMarsh]

Pete’s such a great player. So much intentionality is his playing. I’ve always envied his playing.

[@petercullen3862]

A lot of what Pete said resonated with me. When opportunity arises say Yes, see where it leads. The Germans have a word which aptly describes Pete. A Mensch, someone human and relatable who puts aside self to serve others. A great guitar player to boot. A real asset. Incredibly funny too when he takes the piss.❤ The thumbnail is my granddaughter

[@hartleysloan8191]

Really enjoy Pete's playing and watching his antics on Andertons KZbin channel! He seems like a truly nice guy too!

[@audiomonster303]

What a guy this guy is!!!

[@benallmark9671]

Pete and Tom Bukovac need to team up and make an album. I’m telling ya Pete , I had an epiphany and it’s you and Buk making magic. Please reach out to him , I promise you won’t regret it. I know you don’t know him but you two will be the best of friends when all is said and done.

[@DrMattWalton]

Pete, you’re a good dude!

[@Ddraig62SPD]

Always enjoy watching Pete play & present on the Andertons channel. Funny but not cocky. Seems like a real humble guy who lets his playing speak for itself. You can tell he absolutely loves what he does and this interview kinda emphasises his modesty, respect for other musicians, acknowledgment that he’s just been in the right place at the right time, plus his live for friends and family. A really refreshing interview. Keep on being yourself and making that purple Tele sing, Pete 👍 👏 🍺

[@leifvesti6781]

Du er sgu`en god ambasadør for det at være Dansk - Tak for det !

[@allstopblue5717]

The insanely random connection he made through having a telemarketing job is what kick started his career basically. Wow.

[@vansongs]

Good stuff there. No wonder people took to Pete. Good camera angles and you could truly see how genuine he is.

[@thefirstdude]

Thanks, Pete!
