Kids Choose their Dream Guitar Rigs at Andertons!

[@JoEyReptilia15]

Any chance you’ll do this for a 29 year old 😅😅😅

[@hakimadib8501]

Yeah and 25 yo that looks 50

[@xXN0SK1LLZXx]

Is the 29 Yr old called JoEy by chance lol

[@thatdude034]

If you need two guys i happen to be 29 as well😅

[@geraldpasion3378]

35 here :D may i join?

[@IamtheFerryMan]

44 year olds need dream guitars, too

[@MayorMcCheese2000]

They didn't even consider looking at anything Gibson, or Fender... and not anything even slightly aged or "relic'd".... and the big guys wonder why they're not capturing the younger audience... helps to listen!

[@pvtts05]

Fender does a better job than Gibson with attracting younger artists. I'd make the argument that Gibson is the Harley Davidson of Guitars. Yesterday's tech with tomorrow's prices.

[@fallenstard]

Gibson must be running out of boomers to buy their wares like Harley did (resulting in their release of the Street), and now, through Epiphone, they've put out the Inspired By Gibson line with the real headstock shape and top quality, but for a dumb premium price that still can't compete with other companies.

[@MayorMcCheese2000]

@fallenstard I dont understand why they don't just listen to their target audience.... go ask them what they want... and give them that thing.... it's really that simple lol

[@nstrug]

Andertons is my local music store and I watch loads of local bands. 95% of guitarists and bassists play Fender. The exception would be metal bands. But you can go see any local band or open mic and it’s a sure bet that if the guitarist is under 30 they’ll be playing a tele.

[@nstrug]

Oh and the most popular bass is a Jazz, although Marcus Millers are very popular too (and amazing value).

[@Bobbyshee]

Yo Captain, you need to have more of these videos featuring the our younger up and coming rock stars! Absolutely loved it keep up the good work.

[@busterbuster1641]

How about some kids who actually need some financial support. These guys reek of the private school aura that opens doors for them with ease.

[@soumakbasak9848]

Man this was amazing, Both of them are primed to be amazing musicians. What I really loved is Lee's attitude in the video. Not patronizing but actually talking to them as friends!! Good man!

[@marikitrocks]

Lee is amazing. So friendly and fun to be with 🎸

[@soumakbasak9848]

@marikitrocks I'm sure he is. Keep up the good work!

[@harvey785]

"I give up..." .... "As you should!"... LOVE IT 😂😂 She's awsome! Great fun guys & great playing all round. 😎

[@C33Fernandez]

"Sister!" 😂😂😂

[@35mmadventure5]

Lee presented this video so well!

[@zz-.-]

I appreciate the content you guys make and am going to start ordering to support you. Please keep it up!

[@justynregini8532]

One of the best Andertons videos....Ever! I saw the first video with these 2 smashing kids playing Eastcoast guitars, which was great, but this is even better. Well done to Lee to let them run wild in the shop and choose their ideal rigs. I also totally agree with both of them about relict guitars, to quote the young lady.....'If you love something, you should look after it' ❤

[@marikitrocks]

lol Thank you

[@williamking7420]

Marikit is absolutely right. Deliberately beating instruments up to make them look old (vintage) is rather silly. And for people to pay a premium price for such instruments is even crazier.

[@csharp57]

It’s not about them just looking vintage. It’s about it feeling and playing like a well gigged guitar. I own a vintage guitar from the 70s-80s as well as fender Rhodes. So I understand people wanting their gear to feel like mine. Who has thousands or years to wait. Stop judging others man.

[@csharp57]

No I don’t own a relic

[@RobertSaxy]

Talk to her in 10-20 years and a lot of her opinions about everything especially looks and taste might be very different, I know that’s the case got me and most people I know

[@nrcadvocate1866]

It's a big world plenty of room for everyone nobody is absolutely right! Unless you're a mathematician.😊

[@whiteninja2006]

It's still only an opinion. And it's just as valid as the opposite view. Personally, I love the looks of a well used guitar, I own 70s and 80s Les Pauls and love the battle scars they have. But above all, I love the feel of those used guitars. Relicing might seem weird at first, but I do understand why people like it. Just like I understand how people love their instruments to look as pristine as possible. There is no right or wrong.

[@joehynes2964]

You need to do more of these videos in the future!

[@Mr_CB]

How wonderful to see young people so engaged with learning their instruments and having fun making music with guitar and bass.

[@southernpanda33]

I’m so happy to see these two back. Ushering in the next generation. You’re a legend, sir.

[@jlore6344]

These kids are the best. Well done kids!!! Love the kids' stance on "Relic" guitars, even though I prefer a little roughed up look for mine :) It's nice to hear kids even thinking about taking care of something. Well done to the parents for that.

[@StreetPreacherr]

Finally, the new generation will put an END to the RELIC FAD! BTW, has anyone tried the RELIC Underwear? They come with skid-marks, so feel worn in.

[@GraniteSoundtrack]

Lee this was cool of you. Even adults would love to have this opportunity. Nice that you did it for kids. Also, giving them plugs for their channels was cool.

[@thelolguy007]

When that young dude said ‘Hendrix’ 🙌. That’s parenting done right 👏👏👏

[@NoirRobert]

Esperanza Spalding is a very cool influence. She plays a lot of jazz so, of course, Lee has not heard of her. Jazz is an Anderton's blind spot. Those kids are adorable and already accomplished players. Cheers.

[@oldgreyguitarist]

music to my ears! well done lee, great video! a couple of great kids

[@andyramone2136]

Great vid(s). Marikit and Makisig were great, lovely attitudes and temperaments and a great reflection on their family.

[@marikitrocks]

Thank you for your kind comments :)

[@AljonGo]

Awesome! Nothing better than seeing the smile on young musicians' faces!

[@MattSwain1]

Great to see them both enjoying playing music together, I’m sure mum and dad are very proud (and rightly so) 👏👏👏👏

[@GazP23]

BRILLIANT! Absolutely love these two, I thought Lee was brilliant with them too, not remotely patronising, just nice and conversational. Love it.

[@marikitrocks]

Thjanks for your kind words 😀

[@adamcogan211]

I’ve been waiting for this vid since I first saw them on the channel! They are both so cool and humble!

[@marikitrocks]

Thank you Adam. Lee is an amazing host and made us so comfortable

[@TheHooniverse]

Hi, 44yo child checking in, and I hate relic'ing too... Happy to fly to the UK for your next installment for my dream guitar. (These kids are wonderful, great idea for a video - Cheers from the US)

[@pressp69]

This is one of my favorite vids!! EXCELLENT JOB!!

[@nicolasmaurin182]

Nice to see finally young people playing rock !🎉 talented kids

[@buster52]

Just GREAT. After 20+ years with GC, this is just ... Great! I live in L.A. and remember BC Rich in the day. And wouldn't mind the red one.

[@isaacbenrubi9613]

Those kids rip! Awesome jam sessions, guys!

[@adcharz7105]

Awesome, kids are rockin' it! Also, the best "relic" opinion ever! "No, just No".

[@captainmilk2691]

They play really well. Also, great to see them choose such cool guitars!

[@marikitrocks]

Thank you so much 👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏽

[@JMunchen-wf2yj]

“Lady’s first” - total Class act brother - such a heart warming video. Isn’t music the best.

[@gregrandallbtsr03]

This was so fun! Great talent and wonderful personalities. Hope we can see them again on Anderton's and all the best in your careers! Peace

[@marikitrocks]

Thank you so much, Greg 🙏🏽🤘🏽🎸

[@semin811]

Pure gold. Especially the bit in the end about relic'd guitars😂. I love my relic'd strat but I also love their honesty. Keep rocking fellas!

[@Xenious]

Wonderful to see everyone having fun! I tell you what I need is a tutorial on that BC rich, so many switches!

[@steveDC51]

Probably the best Andertons video ever.

[@jasonholland9787]

Most fun I've had watching a video on youTube in a long time! Love these kids!

[@ukguitarnoodle]

Excellent, not just Blues Dad's buying gear. Jimi....good lad

[@bryanbuckley4312]

Every guitarist needs a BC Rich Mockingbird, ST is relatively affordable while still having all the control options

[@wildeoscar7393]

That “you should” was great! Love the laughs on those two. Great video.

[@harribo2005x]

This is where I got my Yamaha PortableGrand DGX-670 Piano from on the 29th September 2022… and now, surprisingly, 2 years later… we are in the same band! The world gets smaller by the second!

[@toddrodgers908]

Im 46 and I'm not a fan of road worn gear either. Im also a Gibson and Marshall fan. I was rasied up in church. I love God the Farther and Jesus. Yet I like rock music mostly. At church 99% had Fender gear. So most Fender's don't give me a WOW I want that guitar and amplifier. Where Gibson and Marshall does have the WOW factor to me. Good video, great to see young people really into playing music.

[@mobeus84]

There needs to be a lot more of this in the world for musicians Lee I know you got resources more than a lot of us and it's up to you guys to keep the kids interested in music give away guitars, give away lessons, build rehearsal spaces for bands (huge issue) and maybe find a way to not make it cost 600 a month lol. (That parts tough) but there should be some kind of scholarship program that could help pay for these kinds of things and if there's not we need to push for that too. The arts are fading in favor of computer operators and i fear for a world with no musical expression made from raw instruments and people coming together. Cheers mate!

[@willhaylock3769]

Well done kids for saying relic'ed guitars are 'wrong' :D ........I'm ancient (68) and totally agree with you!. Only a fool would pay extra for a smashed up expensive guitar.

[@southsidejohnny5624]

Yep. You wouldn’t do it with a car or anything else. “Here’s your new Tesla, we’d like another £10,000 to have Jimmy take a hammer and a belt sander to it”

[@willhaylock3769]

@@southsidejohnny5624 That made me laugh :D

[@michaelschneider7590]

What fun! I can’t wait to get my granddaughter (3) started on her journey, if that’s something she wants for herself in another year or two! Pink or purple, please.

[@arjanhurkmans9190]

Best video of 2024! These kids are amazing, my faith in the future of music is restored! cheers!

[@marikitrocks]

So kind of you. Thank you

[@hitenbjoshi]

I love these two. Respect their playing and respect their respect. Glitter vs Relic debate put to rest 😄

[@pierremichaud2397]

Wonderful talented and articulate kids. That gives me hope.

[@StreetPreacherr]

And hopefully helping to put an end to the RELIC GUITAR FAD for good! How long did the ACID WASHED DENIM phase drag on for?

[@busterbuster1641]

That's what a 25,000 pound a year private education get you in the UK. The encouragement and facilities to excel.

[@SlimeyGuitarStrings]

This was fun. I'd like to see more kids getting to try their dream gear if possible.

[@TheWorstManOnEarth]

WONDERFUL ! Helping kids get access to good instruments. There are lots of people, like me, who gave to other children the 1st instruments that they once gave to their own children ... sometimes via a school. Quite some of the very affordable 1st instruments are still very good instruments after giving them a little attention (neck adjustment, a new set of strings). They could be given to children who want to learn music via organizations helping families in need.

[@vansongs]

The Monkees made my parents get me a Hep Cat Tele looking thing. I slept with it and dreamed of Silvertones in the Simpsons Sears catalogue. 1966 was no 2024 for gear choice. This was awesome.

[@jamesc2827]

The bass is awesome superb choice

[@stone3359]

I’m with these two on relic guitars. Cool if it’s old and genuine!

[@spaceburger80]

It has glitter 🤘Hell yeah it does! MM Stingray FTW 💪🤙🙌

[@mundane_in_the_membrane]

mockingbird and soldano is a fantastic choice. a mockingbird has always been my dream guitar, specifically one with a reverse headstock and a hardtail bridge.

[@CJZM7777]

Sweet kids having fun and that's what music is all about.

[@MarmiteTheDog]

Great to see the next gen of guitarists

[@Awooga765]

Great video, sir! Fantastic!

[@APlagueOfButterflies]

Little bit jealous! I worked for months minimum wage after school when I was 15 for a Gibson Flying V. I almost had the money saved up when Xmas came around and I asked my parents for the rest of the money but they thought it was a waste. I had to wait until February. Still the best $600 I ever spent!

[@jogo2000]

These kids are nailing it!

[@BrianCase-z2c]

Great to see talented youngsters on here. Remember to act your shoe size, not your age, and with the relics Lee, that's you told, dude!

[@ilovegreenock]

That ending about the relic guitars is so funny 🤣🤣🤣 I think Gibson should start selling ones with "factory made" neck repairs 😊

[@JyrkiVar]

Awesome! Love the two of them. And the outro playing is what we call in german 'das ist mal ein richtig fettes Brett'. 😊

[@marikitrocks]

I agree

[@soundtechmusicschool]

Great playing guys! Some of our guys were London School of Rock originals. They're awesome players! 🤩

[@marikitrocks]

We both playes on SoR Tours; not at the same time though :)

[@PhantomRenegades94]

I love this video! Wonderful idea and very cool kids. I wish them the best!

[@marikitrocks]

Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏽🎸🤘🏽

[@codyburgess7034]

This was super cool. Loved every bit of it

[@MichaelIrons-d5v]

That outro was really bad ass, loved it.

[@MichaelIrons-d5v]

thank you.

[@owenisbadatgames]

I got to do something like this when I was about 14. My music teacher at school was close friends with Doug of Blackmachine Guitars fame. During a summer school they both brought in Mesa Triple Rec and Peavey 5150 half stacks and a host of Blackmachine guitars. Needless to say all it did was make me more addicted to everything guitar related and permanently damage my bank account.

[@adamcogan211]

We need another vid where the captain, Pete and the kids try to learn dive bombs and other rock/metal techniques!

[@dasninjastix]

I enjoy a good relic shaming 😊, all in good fun.

[@ryanlocati5695]

“Both these guys” her face like bruh im here for the guitars 😂😂

[@marikitrocks]

😂

[@findlaghlivingstone6090]

can't believe the girl didnt pick geezer butler or les claypool, both amazing bassists

[@marikitrocks]

There are so many bass players that I am inspired by. Because i play other instruments and sing, Esperanza Spalding is one of my main influences, as I try to decide what kind of artist I really want to be 🎤🎸🎹🎷🥁

[@BigJasquach]

Good for the shout out for Joe Perry for the BC Rich, first guy that I think of!

[@MichaelIrons-d5v]

my god that combo of bc rich and the soldano, killer all good. loved the vid cap, but those kids play.

[@MichaelIrons-d5v]

thank you all.

That was awesome to watch

[@zealvalharriah9723]

Awesome vid!

[@cowboybob1977]

This is what's it's all about!! 👍👍👍👍

[@RobertSaxy]

The kids sound great, keep it up guys

[@marikitrocks]

Thank you so much :)

[@doctoribanez]

If you love someone ,why would you beat them up? She has a point about taking care of stuff.

[@SkitBit]

Absolutely love this episode... really talented peeps! Be great to see more videos like this, hosting the upcoming local musical talent! Oh and agree with her. I don't like relic guitars that's not from genuine wear and tear 😛

[@marikitrocks]

Thank you so much 🙏🏽🤘🏽👍🏽

[@ennspek]

Such great kids

[@nickofzo]

That bass really fits the girl.

[@stuartkinzel8195]

15 year old bass player, "Yeah, I'm in three bands." That sounds about right.

[@rileyhunt3987]

5:57 yes! Esperanza Spaulding is incredible

[@valendis]

That was wholesome!

[@StepanVasylyshyn]

Thanks for very nice video with rock kids ❤

[@eiriklindtner7172]

This is so wholesome❤️‍🔥

[@NebulaStudios1]

I wish I could shop at Andertons for Christmas.

[@markcrockwell-vc7gu]

If the relic is done right it’s beautiful

[@buddyellfyre1238]

Awesome video guys!

[@mushrooms29]

Marikit means beautiful and Makisig means cool

[@DeanFeeney138]

What a fantastic video! ❤️

[@LKpixels]

Another great content Mr. Anderton and team!

[@OldWaveKid]

Lenny Kravitz, Fly Away? Such a good song

[@tonedowne]

That girl is never going to be short for gigs

[@Grrrr20242]

I’m with the young lady on her comment about relic guitars, if you love something, you should look after it👍✌️. Well said.😀

[@richgsimisker6286]

It's so reassuring that the new generation are still picking the most epic-looking guitar and bass in the shop, rather than all those fuddy-duddy sunburst retro things. Dad's credit card is going to be under siege this Christmas!

[@ArnoldLayne11]

Great playing!

[@marikitrocks]

Thank you

[@ltd4all]

This is an awesome premise for a long-term video series. Andertons could (should) sponsor groups of kids like this, and encourage them to take up an instrument, and start a band, etc....Maybe some sort of "junior rockers club" where members get exclusive discounts on beginner's equipment, free quick format lessons (15 minutes) and like a free set, or 5 GBP off a set of guitar strings once a month... And all for kids 18 and younger...And possibly, with parental permission, a chronicle of their progress on video. without the next generation of musicians, what does the world have left?

[@marikitrocks]

I think that is a great idaea 😀

[@stevenbird1431]

Great episode🎸👍

[@xMaoxoaMx]

The only thing i like about relic´d guitars is that i dont have to take care of them as much because they´re beat up already. Everyone remembers that moment when their shiny pristine Gibson got the first ding.

[@marikitrocks]

I was invited to meet Marcus Miller and on the way to Ronnie Scott's the strap broke and I got a ding in my bass. Marcus Miller said it was a sign that it was being used :)

[@barry3045]

He chose well. 👍
