Watching you both here is such a joy! A credit to our beautiful Folkestone the two of you! #folkestone

Too kind, Thankyou ❤

[@billymayhem]

Cheers!!! 🤘🏻🖤🍻

[@ddmyers8361]

Great job Billy love to see more like this when not doing concerts 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@billymayhem]

Thank you mate! This type of video takes a lot longer to make, but as it's kinda new to me, it's more of a challenge, but a lot of fun! But yeah, big decisions to make on the gig stuff, it's just so hard to keep it up with a real job & it costs a fortune the way how we drink! 😂

Honestly, Anthony is one of finest shop owners out there. He is the ONLY music shop worth troubling. Knows his stuff and will go out of his way to help. He has a fantastic range of guitars at all price points. I started visiting the shop when he first opened many years ago and have bought lots of stuff over the years. I will always go to Ant first before going online. You cannot beat that person to person customer service. In you are in the area you need to pop in :)

I still reckon it's a 74!!! 😂 Ant wasn't convincing enough with his reasoning! Haha

[@turmoil1088]

Haha...he wields that SG to just tease. Did he let you play it?

[@clubstylesporty1576]

Proper guitar shop, these places are dying out we need to keep these alive. Ant is good geezer too.

[@billymayhem]

He's genuinely one of the good ones! 🤘🏻😎🖤

[@lewisforemanmusic]

Excellent shop! I head here for everything from strings to expensive items. Proper guitar shop!

[@billymayhem]

Glad to hear it!! I'll probably see you there at some point in the future! 😊

[@guitarshopfolkestone885]

Thanks mate! We will definitely see you soon 😊

[@TommiFabulous]

This 100% looks like the kind of shop for me; Knowledgeable staff and great vibes! Love this new type of content Bill, can’t wait to make my way over and check this place out in person

[@billymayhem]

Thank you babe 😘❤️ I'm sure we'll be able to have a glam metal day just for you! 😂

[@jondray9334]

Sounds like a perfect evening

[@billymayhem]

It weren't bad! 😂🥃

[@Stoobers]

Great vid. Folkestone is my home town, but back in the day Music Mart was the best place to go for guitar banter. One day I hope to visit Ant's GuitarShop but I'd better make sure I have a full wallet.

I've never actually heard of Musicmart!!! 😂 Might of been before my time here? 😬

Love this, great video babe ❤ can't wait to see more of the same! 🎸

[@billymayhem]

Thank you babe! 🖤 I'm sure you'll get involved at some point ☺️

[@HM2dylanpowell]

Sweet video mate a cracking little guitar ship worn some serious guitars 🎸 on show! That dudes finger picking is phenomenal reminds me of Ritchie Kotzen. Really enjoyed this B mate! 🍺🎸🤘🏻

[@billymayhem]

Ahhhh thanks bro!! 🖤 High praise! There's going to be a few episodes of this stuff, all slightly different. & yeah Ant can play mate! It takes me by surprise as he'll play both pick & fingers so it throws me. I threw some curve balls in this picking weird shit, down turning and getting him to play through odd amps out of his comfort zone... He smashed it!! 😂 Mans got talent!

[@HM2dylanpowell]

Yeah man really enjoyed this episode love that you’re doing different content and championing local businesses. Killer mate love you both 😉🍺🤘🏻

[@billymayhem]

@@HM2dylanpowell That was exactly the goal mate! I really appreciate you saying that! 🖤

Last time I saw Dark Tranquility was about 20 years ago at the Astoria!!! 😂

[@JoseReyes-bh9yf]

I bought a Carly off mat Armstrong good thing for my son Also u2 need a podcast 🍾🥂🍸🤪

[@billymayhem]

It's a great bit of kit! I'll be showing you more on Ruby's car in a few weeks! It's well worth the cash!

[@christineayres7199]

Thing I've noticed is outside of guitar 🎸 circles no one ever seems to know the difference between expensive and cheap guitars 🎸 my uncle had a 1962 Strat it's worth like £30 grand 😮 he's owned it since 1992 when he bought it for only like £4 grand , He tried to sell it at a Pawn shop and they offered him a grand 😂 so yeah he sold it later through a proper auction house and after fees got £24 grand so a good profit.

[@RubyMirandaxo]

Wow! Yeah there's no way I could pick the most expensive guitar out of a line up 😂 the prices always surprise me!

[@christineayres7199]

@@RubyMirandaxo Trust me having played it once ,There is hardly any difference between a real 60s Strat like my uncles and a US Reissue 60s Strat which only costs like £2 grand , Yea I know £2 grand is still a lot of money but it's worth it as the guitar 🎸 will last longer than we will 👍😎

[@Guitarbroski13]

Fucking Excellent video Both! Sweet editing bill and that guys playing was on point! and it's so good to see ur genuine passion for all instruments regardless of price. I'm both impressed and surprised that u give as much time to that £5k Les paul as you do to the starter stuff lol This is exactly what Andertons used to be like before rob became a twat and up his own arse n every video became a massive Chapman sales pitch, there stuff is so dull now. You2 guys together are made for this shit! I would love to visit you guys at work and jam out over a coffee talking shit! Keep this series going it has massive potential well done! When's episode 2? Lol

[@JoseReyes-bh9yf]

Anderson's sold me a bad guitar, the manager Karis was the worst ever! I will never use aga

[@billymayhem]

Properly Thank you! 🖤 But yeah bro, I absolutely love a cheap shitty guitar!!! 😂 Making terrible thing sound good is always such a laugh. Expensive stuff comes with so much pressure to be as good as the price tag! Which I'm not! 😂 Please do head down at some point and we'll make this happen! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Guitarbroski13]

Rewatching again and it'd be cool to see the difference between the AC30s, with the time thats past there's going to be natural sag in them and it'd be cool to see what's been replaced/ a sound comparison with technically the same thing. A Kemper wont be able to mimic that natural aging in a proper amp Bill. You'd have to do 2 separate profiles. I'm a nerd lol

[@billymayhem]

Yeah, sure... But Kemper! 😂 In all seriousness, I couldn't really play anything like an AC30 on the regular as I use too many effects and play too low. It'd be such a waste! But I appreciate this gear man! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 It's like anything with a whammy, I love to watch it but the stress of owning it I don't need in my life! 🍻

[@-soundwave-8141]

Nice video Billy , but i was hoping you were gonna play yourself 😊

[@billymayhem]

@@-soundwave-8141 Plenty of time for that in future episodes mate! 🤘🏻
