Falling Up - Allen Hinds - Bogner Alchemist

[@Acekorv]

Allen teaches at M.I. I would sit for hours just listening to his playing. When you hear it live it's amazing. The melodies and musicality he possesses is mindboggling. He's probably the first guy I've seen that really becomes one with his guitar. Effortless Mastery indeed.

[@peterstrohm]

Allen was one of my instructors @ GIT and his playing is stellar: highly tasteful, elegant and - yes - perfect. And not just to me.

[@Esbenmad]

How have I never come across this guy before? He gives me the chills - goes directly to my top 5 guitarists:-)

[@JonP1961]

Just bought this tune from iTunes. Oh man, there is so much going on and the crystal clear production deserves mention. I can honestly say I've never heard anyone blend southern elements, like the pedal steel, into jazz fusion as well as this cat does.

[@JonnyLullaby]

Allen is awesome. Met him at a gig last night. Great guitarist and a really nice/knowledgeable guy.

[@jimhacker9899]

He has such a soft, soulful touch. I have a long way to go before I get in that neighborhood.... Absolutely excellent!

[@ShredCo]

This is what music is all about.... thousands and thousands worth of musical gear.

[@PrashantAswani]

Allen has amazing note choice and an incredible feel!

[@discosweep2758]

One of the best great tone great touch bloody legend

[@creemo7446]

Mesmerizing. In every field, whether it's music, sports, art, whatever, there's always somebody who's just not reachable. Allen Hinds is one of those talents. Jeez! I could watch this one video over and over again. Hell......I have.

[@jamessteiger9973]

Wonderful...just awesomely wonderful. Was having a bad day, arrived here almost at random, and was transported to a totally different place. A really outstanding player.

[@tomblack1583]

Such taste, control and accuracy.

[@cgraugaard]

It's like his fingers are waves in the ocean @ 3:27 . Beautiful!

[@davidfleuchaus]

cgraugaard That is the most beautiful comment I’ve ever read.

[@tomblack1583]

Had to get the Alchemist because of this Clip.... Allen, his Awesomeness!

[@sammyrothrock6981]

Me too the best 420.00 bucks I ever spent.. I been a repair tech/engineer for 40 years and I fix my own gear so this will stay with me my lifetime!

[@ryans9029]

GC seeks then used when they come in for about 350 bucks nowadays. I picked one up a few months ago.. Best 350 I've ever spent. And the cabs.... 300 bucks for a greenback and an 70th H30.... Can't beat it.

[@gonzalooliveraalves]

I just discovered Allen because of Rabea Massaad's cover, and damn, I'm loving his playing a lot!

[@papapetad]

Same here. This guy has unique flow and modulation. Impressive playing. Rabea did well too ^^

[@g1asseye]

Hey Bogner guys! You should upload this video in full quality. It's one of the finest bits of guitar playing on youtube! :)

[@jonsilence]

So nice to hear someone who plays like this, with taste and rstraint, in a day when mindless blowing has become the norm. Great tone.

[@Utahguitarlessons]

One of my favorite songs and players.

[@JasonLeonPike]

This guy is killing!! Nice tune.

[@hman7419]

Any amp on this man's hands will sound perfect!! He is a master of feel!!

[@davidleerotharmy]

Poetic phrasing. I love Allen hinds.

[@naiyalexic]

beautiful, and i love that bogner head

[@EmilErnebroGuitar]

What a great player Allen is. Great feel, and his time is always so good!

[@PrashantAswani]

Great tone Allen! You got the touch.

[@luigicannizzo2669]

[@RealGuidoFawkes]

Gain 12 T 11 M 12 B 2 Volume 10 Boost on Mercury on Gain 1 T 1 M 12 B 1 Volume 11 Delay11 (Tape) Repeats 9 Reverb 9 (Hall) My best guess looking at the shots - all boosts off Great feel, stunning touch, brilliant phrasing, Allen is a Maestro.

[@jimhare6902]

Hummingbird grace and mobility- entirely MUSICAL! Thank you dear Sir.

[@LovingYourGuitar]

Yep Allen. Once again, you've helped prove another amp worth looking into. Take care dude!

[@nick11291]

Met this guy at M.I. I've never seen talent like this before.

[@guitaryouns]

What a beautiful touch, it reminds me andy timmons

[@antoniosaluena]

Fantastic playing and beautiful song! I believe this was a first take? So cool to keep this with the volume tweaking and all!

[@pippomazzocchio]

[@johnnyboy13131]

What a freaking epic tone!

[@binayakshahmusic]

Nothin but respect Allen. Sounds great.

[@nicoimagina41]

good sound and soul

[@musiciancd5242]

allen hinds..your playing guitar sound is beautiful..:D

[@farko63]

One of the best

[@tazmaniaco65]

Well, I tried an amp by line 6 and bogner the other day.I tell you, it had nothing to do with the bogner alchemist I had tried previously.The line 6 amp had some awful digital distortion emulators.The alchemist, on the other hand, had just the warmest tone I've ever heard.From clean channel to dirty channel, it was just flawless.I hope I can get one someday, because I think I'm in love haha. Cheers!

[@pswoods]

I thought the description said "Allen Hinds rich, soulful playing style is supported in spades by the *expensiveness*, responsiveness and sensitivity of Bogner Alchemist™." LOL. beautiful playing. He really seems to be playing for himself.

[@Gabaz76]

Allen huge, really a great game of touch and sound, great shades! not to mention the amplifier, with the Bogner Alchemist HIS has done a really bargain, a new jewel in the market, can you give us an pensierino seen the price very interesting and saw verstilità! Congratulations! Regards.

[@buscobanda]

Excelent guitar player, amazing...

So smooth!

[@sarabaracuda]

i like how he changed his tone in the middle of the tune - can't do that with a rack system! =P picking with your fingers is a great way to get great true tone and feel out of a guitar!

[@richardwu0609]

great taste! i love Andy

[@Johnny-oy9fh]

Wonderful 😁🎸

[@IndoctrinationTime]

Just wonderful :-)

[@ytpaletot1]

Amazing !!!

[@loskochios]

one word: Smooth !

[@mateolewismusic]

beautiful

[@andrzejsokolowski]

fantastic regards

[@jonhysex100]

i heard of him in the guitar tecniques magazine. To all players of guitar i advise buy that magazine

[@bondanbo46]

super awsome

[@bondanbo46]

Goleki baz

[@ImproviseFact]

Awesome!

[@JonP1961]

@JonP1961 My bad on the jazz fusion reference. I meant "Onramp"... yeah, bought that one too ;)

[@Manolian]

Great sounding amp.

[@SwamiOrchestra]

Yeah, you speak my mind.

[@federiconavarrotrias]

beautyful !

[@Maremons]

I love the Dancing Shiva on top of the amp.

[@sportsportsport]

Oh I see, instead of falling down, he's falling up. Such a clever title.

[@AyanTheChosenOne]

A new favorite of mines :D

[@sylwestersosniak220]

Super !!!!!!!!!

[@spraymusic]

Yeah Yeah!The best!

[@brandon9271]

I'm gonna venture a guess.. (pure speculation) that Bogner designed the the amp for the most part and Line 6 designed the effects. Line 6 is probably mass producing in their factories with printed circuits and such( vs hand wiring) to keep the cost down. Not a big deal sense Fender and Marshall have been doing this for years. Sounds great and I'd take it over a Spider ANY DAY! :)

[@terada1444]

Sensational amp I just bought one now I have to practice to play like Alan. Are you using ‘Arcane’ pick ups on this guitar?

[@gilbglam470]

Fantastic¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@777BULLDOZER]

Allen virtuoso!

[@bobbysbackingtracks]

I'm on it and inspired by Allen.

[@spraymusic]

The best!

[@fizzo9985]

I found one of these amps recently for 350 bucks, they sound amazing for the money.

[@plexisound]

Beautiful playing and guitar...! What about the guitar? Very cool

[@musicmang3]

"Scooping" or cutting a little off the mids is pretty common with strats/single coils. Also very amp dependent. His tone here sound very neutral, certainly not scooped. He sounds great here with the Alchemist but you can tell he was feeling out the sound in the beginning and shaped his playing to get what he wanted.

[@jonathansledge5790]

Makes that amp sound good

[@christopherkinnaird8048]

I think I hear a little Eric Johnson influence in his playing. I may be getting one of these amps! :)

[@bulzah]

they are expensive tho.....and yea u can hear some eric influence

[@toomanygittars]

KZbin is swarming with electric guitarists playing arpeggios and heavy riffs at lightning speed. That gets boring real quick! VERY refreshing to hear really tasty, melodic playing like that of Allen Hinds, Eric Johnson, Andy Timmons, Carl Verheyen, and a handful of others.

[@jjhnnybgd]

@rotagen5 ya there are no solder joints in the amp,it's all plugs. if you wanted to gig or tour with it you'd probably have to have all the points soldered. as it is the plugs should be reseated every so often. just a heads up. great tone though.

[@MisterTee]

@nezmaster1 I have 2 suhrs, a Guthrie Govan sig and an HSS Classic. I just love em.

[@rotagen5]

Just a heads up, this amp has great sound but I have been burned by bad reliability right out of the box. Box was not damaged and shipped by a company that deals with electronics, but there was power loss, crackling, etc right out of the box.

[@mentoneman]

the first itunes song ive purchased this year...great playing and tone!! love the chirp at 2:20..sounds like that maple neck is a great match with the darker alchemist lead tone. was the original recording done with a dumble?

[@Bartolomeus9]

@STORYTASTIC heyhey now, don't confuse the (as usual with many guitarists) elevator backing track with the passionate playing that's done on top of it :-)

[@norbertoguitar8427]

Q feeling mds

[@MisterTee]

@TheMetalFloyd666 There is a big and better world outside of Fender. Companies like Suhr, Tom Anderson, Tyler, Nash and several more make instruments that are far superior to anything coming out of the Fender factory. Allen is using an Xotic Classic.

[@liamerick7262]

one of the greatest of all time in any gender for sure.

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

genre,gender describes your sexual organs and reproductive ability.

[@NicoSchliemann]

can someone tell what the songtitle is he performs, and maybe on which of his CDs i can find that one...i love this tune....

[@Zeppelin180]

Talk about economy of movement. Wow

[@ryans9029]

Comes with the "theory" side... So many think it nerdery... It doesn't have to be.

[@abbotsford85]

Roberto Mancini

[@JackRosei]

:) indeed

[@Ksj99]

Lol

[@panagiotischaralampous6807]

absolutely lol

[@alejandrocalzadillajimenez2418]

Jajajaja

[@MisterTee]

@TheMetalFloyd666 I your strat from the 60's or 50's? If it isnt then that guitar has a neck made on CNC and a body made on CNC. Fender has been handfinishing guitars for decades now....the main work is done on CNC. Nothing wrong with that but if you think ANY Fender you can buy or have bought in the last 30 years is handmade you are crazy. By the way, I used to work for the Custom Shop. It was a nice place to work and Fender treats people well.

[@Esbenmad]

@ShivaTheAuspicious Darn... Musicians institute is pretty far away from Denmark:-)

[@spakuloid]

Wholly fuck. This guy is like Jeff Beck and Larry Carlton - awesome.
