That was the most original guitar demo I think I've ever heard. Awesome.

[@RichardWatson]

Ah man! Thank you! I truly appreciate that

[@Wirekite]

I’m amazed. Didn’t expect such a brilliant composition. I really enjoyed it

[@RichardWatson]

Thank you very much, Marco!

[@DropDee44]

Came for the Charger HB, keep coming back for the tune! e: have a Charger 290 on order, should arrive in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!

[@213wishes]

I have one of these Reverend HB's ordered and coming this Friday. I keep watching this over and over again as it's so incredible regardless of my newfound bias.

[@RichardWatson]

Ah amazing! I hope you get much joy out of your new guitar!

[@YHg7PRQu]

Dude, I come back every other day to this video. I think you pushed me over the edge to get this guitar that I wanted for a few years now, hopefully I'll get it in a couple of months! Thanks!

[@RichardWatson]

You won't regret it, man!

[@Mordred478]

Everything you play and compose is so original and cool.

[@RichardWatson]

Ah that's so kind of you, man- thank you!

[@christopher_lp]

Great demo, love your chops.

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks so much, man!

[@AdADglgmutShevanel]

Thanks for demoing with heavier music! Everyone demos these with blues and classic rock, so it's nice to see what else it's capable of. I ended up buying one after trying it out because it looked and sounded so fantastic! Also my hands are bigger, so I was actually able to fit them much better on this fretboard.

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks man! I think they're killer guitars (full stop - not even "for the money")- love mine! Build like a tank and full of attitude. Also don't mind slamming it around a little as they're not eye-wateringly expensive and are made withstand having the heck beaten out of them! I'm glad you're enjoying yours!

[@nickvanrensburg1249]

Kudos man. That chorusy bit hit me right in the feels. Great arrangement

[@RichardWatson]

Ah thank you, Nick! I appreciate that!

[@jackblack2321]

so love this guys tone, went to my local shop to buy this guitar and it was nothing like i expected.

[@RichardWatson]

Ah thanks man! Reverends have a vibe all of their own, for sure!

[@ryanleemartin7758]

whoa.. that was some demo!

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks Ryan!

[@carnivalcast]

Thank you for not assuming that every one interested in the electric guitar is just a jazz, blues, or classic rock player.

[@RichardWatson]

This made me laugh! Thanks man! These guitars have such a unique vibe that I thought it deserved something different!

[@carnivalcast]

@@RichardWatson They're incredibly unique! I had never seen one before and went to a show where one the guitarists was playing a Flatroc. I was interested and looked into Reverend only to see a Charger 290 in the used section at Guitar Center. Not thinking much of it, I plugged it and it was truly one the most fun guitars I'd ever played. Such an innovative brand. Great video!

[@aspaceproductions]

@@carnivalcast I agree lol. I'm not even necessarily a fan of the style of music this guy is playing. But I fucking appreciate that this guy didn't do the same tired generic guitar shit that 99% guitar demo youtubers do. Guitars are versatile and can create so many sounds and just hearing the same few styles really doesn't show shit.

[@kwright3929]

Great tone. Great playing.

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks man! They're great guitars!

[@chrislestermusic]

Awesome! Love the demo tune. I have a Reverend Pete Anderson S that is an amazing guitar. Basically a tele with strat pickups in the middle and neck and a tele pickup on the bridge (I swapped it for a rail humbucker) and has a Wilkenson vibrato on it. Roasted maple neck. Crazy value guitar. Reverend makes some great stuff.

[@RichardWatson]

They do, man! Your guitar sounds awesome. Cool company.

[@jackblack2321]

Love your playing and the guitar is so sweet.

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks Jack! They are killer guitars!

[@samquitkin338]

Awesome demo man! 🤟🤟🤟

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks Sam!

[@tomcarmody5471]

Came here for the guitar, played it twice for the song. That is a beautiful song! I'll be back.

[@RichardWatson]

That's very kind of the, Tom - thank you!

[@haynesguitars6357]

Wow , Love it

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks Neil!

[@josecardenas4013]

That is tight … Awesome guitar!!!

[@RichardWatson]

They are awesome, man! It's a lot of guitar for the money!

[@LoveGuitar63277]

Great song!

[@RichardWatson]

Thank you!

[@phrankus2009]

Well ... THAT certainly was worth my time !! ... So glad I clicked-in ! ... It would have been wrong not to share this.

[@RichardWatson]

Thank you, man!

[@clevertrevor7360]

Seriously professional demo.

[@RichardWatson]

Thank you, man!

[@DennisK55]

I like it very much!

[@RichardWatson]

Glad to hear it, Dennis- thank you!

[@learnmore2221]

That was badass man. For fuggin real.

[@RichardWatson]

Ah thank you, man!

[@stantissue2065]

That was good!

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks Stan!

[@-SayWhatAgainMF-]

That arrangement is fucking sick. Reminds me of Queens of the Stone Age a lot with the off note power chords. Every guitar demo I’ve heard for reverend is just boring covers of classic rock songs, jazz riffs or country. Thank you for showing what this guitar is actually capable of.

[@RichardWatson]

Ah man, thank you! I really appreciate that. They are killer guitars and have a personality that's all their own. They take a beating too, this one gets hammered on the road!

[@-SayWhatAgainMF-]

@@RichardWatson The guitar may take a beating, but not the price-to-value. I’d like to hear more Reverend demos like this if possible!

[@stantissue2065]

That was cool.

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks Stan!

[@discountmusician8951]

Very nice! It reminds me of Holdsworth in some spots.Im one of those 1 guitar guys.Sounds great!

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks man- that's cool to hear!

[@brokenrobot7102]

Reminds me of Failure, super cool

[@RichardWatson]

Thank you!

[@phrankus2009]

Just stopped back by for a quick-fix.

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks, my friend!

[@jeromemartin6571]

Brilliant

[@RichardWatson]

Ah thanks man!

[@joefriedmanguitarnut]

Love your playing - would you recommend this instrument?? Looking for something less heavy than my les Paul (11 pounds!)

[@RichardWatson]

I absolutely would, Joe! I think Reverends are incredible guitars for the money but, beyond that, they have a vibe all of their own. Mine is built like a tank and has a different voice to my other guitar which means I'm often reaching for it when recording. Thank you for nice comment on my playing!

[@skittlybeepbop13]

Question.. there is no skunk stripe so they put the fretboard on after the truss rod... is it obviously a different piece of wood when looking at the side dots? My warmoth neck is like that and its kind of ugly and bothersome to my OCD. Thanks and great playing!

[@RichardWatson]

It's never bothered me, man! I'm also super OCD so hopefully you can take some solace in that! They are killer guitars!

[@tomboddison9351]

Mate you're like if NIN had Jeff Beck on guitar. Class!

[@RichardWatson]

Ha! Thanks Tom- too kind. Hope you're well!

[@ajleslie2]

Badass. What strings do you use? Thinking about getting this same guitar.

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks man! These are what it came with (which I assume are 10's) - I don't think you'll be disappointed! I was in the studio recently and the producer there was super impressed with it too- they are just voiced so nicely and the bass roll off is awesome!

[@timstudio1]

Sounds awesome! What amp are you using?

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks Tim! This was all Kemper - mostly Diezel and Divided By 13 profiles if I remember correctly.

[@xsox6465]

Your vibe is super strange I like it

[@RichardWatson]

Appreciate it- thank you!

[@tychormthorp]

Subbed, also what do you think of the charger?

[@RichardWatson]

I really dig it, man. Something about where it "speaks" frequency wise makes it so easier to seat it within a mix. The bass roll off knob is SO useful and it plays great. A killer guitar, especially for the money.

[@clevertrevor7360]

How does the Reverend stack up against your other guitars ?

[@RichardWatson]

Honestly, it's really great. The thing is, it's kind of it's own animal so it's tricky to compare it to PRS/Tyler/etc. Build quality-wise, it's solid as a rock. I tend to favour guitars that have a trem if I'm just sitting around noodling but the Reverend has become my absolute go-to for heavier gigs and I use it ALL the time for recording because it always sits really well in the track. The bass roll-off is voiced perfectly and the pickups are surprisingly versatile when used in conjunction with the roll off. I think they are awesome guitars and the fact they are a fraction of the price of USA PRS guitars, etc is just a bonus.

[@clevertrevor7360]

Hey thanks for the info . I'm really tempted by the Charger HB. Your demo and comments have helped a lot. By the way, I could hear your composition being used as a theme for film/TV . You deserve big success with your music.

[@afussey]

Brillo

[@williamrigby4805]

I came here bc I wanted to buy a guitar, but now I want to quit guitar

[@RichardWatson]

This made me laugh, man!

[@williamrigby4805]

@@RichardWatson I bought it anyway. I can't wait to do the C maj scale a million times until I can do this!

[@hectorbarreda7510]

Oh God, thank you for not playing dusty, old white man blues riffs (like every other guitar video).

[@RichardWatson]

Haha! My pleasure, man!
