[@allyearclan]

Keith Scott, the most under-rated Lead Guitarist of our Genaration

[@KasperViggoJensen]

PlayMondaeo It’s unbelievable how little he pops up in conversation. The dude is unreal.

[@discountpsyop]

One of my favorite of all time. Him and Jimmy Lyon from Eddie Money's band. Both of them are TANKS.

[@MikeCarvin]

Keith Scott is more like Steve Clark of Def Leppard, just poppier and blusier.

[@jesus_loves_you_2710]

Exactly

[@MaximFoyerbach]

Thats right!

[@mikefenton5634]

Ah Keith Scott and Bryan Adams good ole Canadian boys. Keith Scott is a criminally underrated player.

[@Messier31NGC224]

Omg that "Run to you" excerpt was AMAZING! Rabea you were perfect with the feedback too!!

[@ImLeuff]

Went to see Bryan Adams live very recently, it was a blast. Anyone who likes his songs, even just a few - go, you'll fall in love with the rest of them easily.

[@Thexderx]

Spot on - just saw his last weekend and re-fell in love again.

[@TheAhmedAlshamy]

Love love love him!

[@VibeDoctor98]

He’s got so many good songs

[@tomwilliams87]

Run To You was 100% spot on. The whole things sounded amazing. Well done lads

[@Nj1498]

One of the best "Sound like..." to date! (In my opinion) ;)

[@dennerengster3014]

Katana is the new DSL40 of the show.

[@Kangalaroo_]

Denner Engster I was thinkin’ the same thing. Both fantastic amps though.

[@maxscardanelli6185]

Denner Engster You stole my comment...

[@ryanmcdonald6211]

They definitely have some endorsement with boss there have been multiple videos with the katana. Rob champman is all about them to

[@dennerengster3014]

Max Scardanelli sorry bro

[@dennerengster3014]

Ryan Mcdonald, I don't know man, i think the amp is just really good, for it's price there's nothing that gets close.

[@TheShreddDude]

Thank you for paying respect to one of the great song writers. I think people give Adams a lot of crap undeservedly.

[@dpb22]

It's because of have you ever really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really.....really, really, really, really. I've never gotten to the end of all the really's to know how that line ends. I like Bryan Adams, but good lord that song is miserable to put up with.

[@TheShreddDude]

I love that song. Have you ever really... really really ever loved a woman. Come on Doug, you can't put up with 3 "reallys"? Really?

[@derjohnnyb90]

Thats like his worst song, and I basically started playing guitar because of Bryan Adams

[@dpb22]

Yes. Really. Really, really.

[@malungtvnews]

He totally deserves all of it

[@CBBluesman]

Maybe the Best Sounds Like Yet! You totally nailed it! Fantastic! What about Robert Cray?

[@vicpnut1]

That “it’s only love” riff and lead is about the epitome of rock tone, sound or what ever you wanna call it ...just so good

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

You guys fooking NAILED that! I gotta get me one of those Katanas!

[@vypyrplays]

Sound like Def Leppard please! Love this one, so glad y'all did Bryan Adams.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Mutt Lange was the co writer and producer for Def Leppard from 1981 to 1987 before Bryan Adams hired him in 1991 as co writer and co producer. Thus, you here some similarities.

[@RAVINGMUNSTER]

Would really help these videos if you spend a minute or two explaining how you dialled in the tone from the selected gear. Especially with something like the Katana with such a wide variety of tones available. Otherwise great video, loved a bit of BA back in the day.

[@rafaelcimino]

Keith Scott = great tone and awesome player!!! Well done on this one mates !

[@SeanChurchill97]

Thought this video might be boring. I was wrong. That tone is sublime.

[@ChrisFranklyn]

Same. I grew up thinking Bryan Adams was a bit passe, so never really considered him +band when thinking of guitars

[@prepre73]

Can't believe that they still haven't done a sound like Andy Summers from the Police

[@andertons]

Well, maybe they should....

[@marshallbrown9406]

As a Canadian, this made my day; you guys absolutely nailed it. I'm also liking the recent uptick of Rabea and Matt picking "all-in-one" amps like the Katana; they might not be as drool inducing as a smorgasbord of pedals, but their practicality is next to none when you have a lot of effects ground to cover. The only thing it would be good to see in these cases is a description of some of the settings for specific tones in these cases, even if it's just "I'm using the boost on the red setting, about halfway up, and the delay on the green setting about a quarter way up."

[@gustavorenovalez5229]

The tone is ridiculous, thank you for sharing guys!!

[@thehoppo]

nailed "Run to you"

[@huntertrivette5183]

Best one yet! More like this please!

[@tombrennan8729]

Agreed. I have watched this "series" for a long time now, and you got the sound right, you played more riffs/intro's than normal. So thumbs up and agree with Hunter this one is the best sounds like video I think I have seen.

[@jcw5007]

Settings on the Katana(s) please?

[@sykes2698]

Sound like Ritchie Blackmore Pleeeaaassseee

[@chedhead3278]

since you've been gone chords @10:50, coincidence?

[@malungtvnews]

to be fair... this really sounds like Bryan Adams. Now do Rainbow era Blackmore

[@RackhirTheRed]

First you have to find one of those old tape machines to plug into for a preamp. Good luck with that. After that a cranked Marshall or Engl and Strat will do. Turn the volume to 10, bass to 0 and crank the mids and highs/presence. After that it's all the guitar's volume knob and bouncing between the bridge and neck pickups. NEVER use the middle pickup for anything. Ever. In fact you should go ahead and disconnect it just in case! Oh...and you have to practice your but off incessantly until you become a master that's one with his guitar. That's your sound like Ritchie Blackmore.

[@jameslewis2635]

I think the Katana and Strat rig was pretty close to Richie Blackmore's sound from the Machine Head / Made in Japan era. I can't really remember him doing much in terms of wah pedals or any other effects that the Katana could not do with the possible exception of the old tape machine he insisted on using as a pre-amp which was so unreliable it needed its own specialist to keep the thing running. Something subtle like a Klon might do something similar but I would not be able to recognise it from the tone (just going from the legend on this bit). While he was legendary for using the Stratocaster, a Telecaster might be a better tonal match because he disconnected his middle pickup but used both bridge and neck pickups for 'Smoke on the Water'. Another possible guitar would be an H/H config strat with coil splitting.

[@RackhirTheRed]

I was Just joking around. All of his Marshals were heavily modded and his sig Engl amp is very unique. He modded his strats with something called a "MTC unit" AND he used a tape unit as a preamp and delay/reverb. I guess these guys could do a "Close enough to Blackmore" with off the shelf stuff but a "Sound Like" up to their usual great standards? Umm........ That would be a very unfair challenge.

[@dandessoy2943]

Sounds like Prince?

[@stelamo]

oh yes .. the early shit :P

[@TristanFerlesch]

Please!!

[@KeeperOfPoops]

Fender Telecaster Roland JC40 Boss DS2 Boss OC3 Boss DD3 Dunlop Wah

[@kimr45]

Keith Scott is a highly praised guitarist, respected by many in the industry itself and one of the best players out there. He's got the chops and tone to prove it beyond a doubt.

[@dirkhennig2192]

Sounds great. But you should really show the Amp Settings, especially with Modelling and build in Effects.

[@ManorMoose]

Watching this again, definitely one of the best 'sound like' videos ever!

[@rshtnkv]

You nailed it guys!

[@Dysmozgia]

Sound like INTERPOL! been hoping for this one soooo long!

[@zerostarinc]

Rabea, the song summer of 69 is an innuendo itself

[@Redn87]

RIGHT ON!!! Been playing bass for 16 years and just picked up the ukulele. Your channel is amazing for music. Great and amazing channel.

[@haraldamsterdam1988]

Sound like Eric Johnson please!

[@liamanderson4456]

YES!

[@waynepatton689]

Guys this could be one of the best ones you’ve done yet! I’m listening to Bryan Adams music that I haven’t listened to in 25 years and now I’m finding again that he is just a killer song writer, has killer guitar guitar tone and I just can’t get enough, keep it coming!

[@leandropeixoto9043]

Great, now I'm gonna spend the whole day listening to him on Spotify.

[@SurfingAli3n]

WOW that's totally spot on... so proud of you guys, and my Katana!

[@alexamos5962]

sounds like Nile Rodgers

[@sambrenton]

This

[@anthonysclafani3963]

Alex Amos Such an influential guitarist, yet so underrated

[@jackspence3178]

Yes!

[@willowilson5753]

Loved the run to you solo at the end! Such a great solo great use of spacing

[@ThatGamerGuy77]

Sound like THE EAGLES (Walsh and Felder)

[@jberenden]

ThatGamerGuy77 and Frey!

[@Foofer23]

My absolute favorite "sounds like". Can't stop watching it. Super job guys.

[@andrewpappas9311]

Suggestions: - Megadeth - Primus - Metallica (By Busting) - Nirvana (By Busting) - KISS - The Kinks - Iron Maiden - Tame Impala

[@PocketCloyster]

They’ve done Maiden

[@andrewpappas9311]

Oh, then at least By Busting the Bank

[@malungtvnews]

I was watching Larry from Primus rig rundown and bought the delay he uses

[@andriealinsangao613]

You wanna sound like The Kinks? Here's tip #1: SLASH YOUR SPEAKER CONE

[@srikanthsharma786]

wow! amazing guitars and my favorite Bryan Adams & Keith Scott

[@mateuszbok4466]

That was a killer episode! The tone was spot on.

[@JasonFiske]

Well done. Loved the embrace of the Katana! Thank you.

[@codylanham1846]

Sound like Def Leppard! Pretty please

[@vypyrplays]

William Lanham +1

[@G40s_WW]

William Lanham pls do Phil and Steve

[@nelsonjeronimo]

That would be awesome. Now that we’re celebrating 30 year of Hysteria that would be really, really great

[@codylanham1846]

Oh yes! I love Def Leppard and I think they should include Vivian as well. He is a notably good guitarist and deserves some recognition

[@G40s_WW]

William Lanham they are only two persons so the kinda have to decide which guitarists they take. Despite the fact that there is also Pete Willis who they could do

[@Chris66JTM45]

Spot on guys ... the guitar / amp pairings worked perfectly. Saw Mr Adams last year at Motorpoint Cardiff ... can still rock the house !

[@CheddarTheShredder]

I got a some id like to see Sound like -Dorje/Toska -Korn -Slayer -Black Label Society/Zakk Wylde -Brendon Small's Galaktikon/Dethklok -Clutch -Dream Theater -Gojira -Motorhead -Devin Townsend/SYL -Trivium any of those artists would be great to see if you can capture that tone for 1500 except maybe Slayer because that probably be the easiest one haha

[@Bdevonhewitt]

You guys nailed this one. Nicely done. Cheers from the Colonies

[@06danielsj]

It’s an injustice that we’re still waiting for Sound Like Graham Coxon

[@danielhoskins4690]

James Daniels that would be a lot of fun with pedals.

[@georgegorgievski8564]

"Run to you" sounded bang on! Nice work boys!

[@NYC_Geology]

Sound like Coheed and Cambria!!!

[@NiCCaN90]

Yes! We need this and also as a plus we can get "Looks like" with the froo!

[@OaNautilus92]

Let's keep posting it!

[@smolygonal]

Until the Andertons folks cover it, here's what I've pieced together: Claudio tends to favor Explorers and some SGs, though those tend to come out on the 12-string/baritone songs. There aren't a ton of budget Explorers out there, but the best I could find for the price was the Goth '58 Explorer ($499 on Sweetwater) - the color isn't really right, and Claudio uses Nailbomb pickups generally, but stock it's got a bite to it that seems very Coheed and (mostly) looks the part. As for amps, they use AxeFX live now but Claudio's tech has said that his main tone is based on a Marshall-y distorted lead. The DSL40C would be great here, but I'd go for the CODE 100W 2x12, as it's quite a bit cheaper at $399 and has the programmable presets and whatnot, which is good for some of the weirder Coheed stuff. For pedals, your focus would be on distortion (if you choose to not use the built-in marshall distortion), an overdrive (just get a Tube Screamer), Wah, Delay and Reverb. If you choose to forgo the CODE's distortion, I'd recommend an MXR M78 Custom Badass. Wah is IMO down to personal preference here, but for delay I'd just recommend a Boss DD-3, as it will cover most of what you need. For reverb, I'd probably go with an EHX Holy Grail Nano - simple, but gives you enough options to make your tone fuckin huge. All told, this rig would come to about $1,420 (nice), but without distortion and wah you could get down to about $1,240. Travis basically is a Les Paul that has somehow attained human form. The Epiphone equivalent of what he uses for the most part is a LP Standard Plain Top (but take off the pickguard) at $419. And honestly, most of the above rig works for Travis as well as his chain is fairly similar. That said, Travis's tone is more based on a Mesa Boogie Mark V, but according to Trav it's mostly just a more washy, reverb-y Marshall tone. So by changing some of the settings on the above rig, you could most likely get pretty close to Travis's default tone. Hopefully that helps!

[@darylj4739]

You guys nailed it. And to know that someone like me can get that sound without selling the car/house/wife is amazing. Thanks a ton.

[@Oris37]

Hi guys. I've been watching your series from the start and have noticed you very rarely mention HOW you achieve the sounds (especially as you're using Katana's for this one). I'd assume that a lot of beginners watch these videos and are still finding their way around guitars and amps so, I think it would be really useful for them if you'd say what pick-up selection, pedal settings and amp settings you are using for each tone. I've personally found it helpful to show students how to get the tones their heroes get - well, as close as possible with the gear they turn up with so, I recommended them to invest in a Boss Katana, they're brilliant for this kind of scenario, in that you can set the basic amplifier type and build upon that with; gain, tone and effects. Anyhoo - keep up the (on the whole) good work :-)

[@kingoffools1988]

That is exactly what I was thinking. Maybe you can do a separate video, where you show how to dial in that tones, that you are using in the sound like video.

[@rosswoodhams7847]

Students and the tones of their heroes. Man, had it not been for my guitar teacher showing me a very Steve Clarke tone, I'd had never have kept on it. Guys need to share the settings! Hell I've been playing for 20 years and I'm about to go buy a Katana.. that BA tone was bloody epic!

[@Desmond000007]

This was awsome. Great tone, great playing. The balance between the two rigs...Omg.

[@brettvincient]

Great "Sounds like" video guys! Thanks for sharing, only note is I thought Marshall didnt say they discontinued the DSL40?

[@andertons]

Well......

[@jaylamb1434]

From mid range pricing/product on your equipment, I think that's one of the best tones I've heard from you guys! Please keep these videos coming. Thank you

[@Theseasider69]

Great as usual. Is there any chance that you could do ‘panel sweeps’ on amps and any pedals you use so that we mortals could try dialling in the same tone? It really would help us to sound like you sounding like them😬 My requests would be : The Mission The Cult Spear of Destiny Ta very much.

[@hitesh_blues2353]

The classic 80s sound! Keith Scott is criminally underrated.

[@holysmoke7887]

Sound like Skynyrd, Michael Schenker, Scorpions been asking for over a year maybe by 2019?

[@orlock20]

Michael Schenker/Scorpions Epiphone LTD Ed Waters Annihilation II Flying V 425 pounds Marshall 2525C Mini Silver Jubilee 20 Watt 1x12 Combo 799 pounds Vox 845 Wah Wah Pedal 59 pounds TC Electronic Flashback Mini Delay 78 pounds Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble Pedal 81 pounds total: 1442 pounds

[@mattmassie2560]

Sound like Joy Division/ New order please

[@boatingforbeginners7949]

Great demo guys.. Thankyou

[@jpflynn06]

Turns to Katana....”Did we just become best friends?”

[@jimpolk7931]

Absolutely loved the "Run To You" jam at the end.

[@haraldamsterdam1988]

Sound like Steve Vai please!

[@brunograndinetti7356]

Keith Scott rules! Thanks for this wonderful video guys ...

[@Tony_Cornejo]

You guys should do sound like the edge by busting the bank!! The first sounds like with a stereo rig

[@anthonysclafani3963]

Tony Cornejo Yes that would be so cool

[@vincetillman8292]

Hi guys, a pleasure as always to watch. best, closest sounds like so far , spot on, lovin your work

[@keiranmacpherson8967]

Sound like The Stone Roses

[@sambrenton]

[@stevestarr6395]

Nice job guys recreating these amazing and classic tones!!

[@Giveitagoog]

Sound Like: The Stone Roses Mac Demarco Kasabian Sex Pistols Cage The Elephant Jimi Hendrix by busting Metallica by busting Nirvana by busting

[@kevkeelan5106]

Impeccable taste in music, great shout!!!

[@anthonysclafani3963]

Nirvana by busting >>>

[@benni_boi]

Sounds like Mac Demarco plss, would probably be mexican strat, fender blues jr, vibrato pedal, pretty much it tho hahaha

[@KeeperOfPoops]

i thought that 2nd one was the guitairst of King Crimson but that's Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew lol but i do wanna see King Crimson without busting

[@Giveitagoog]

William Allison Why do you comment this every time someone mentions Mac Demarco?

[@mbreinin]

It is amazing how close you got to these great recorded tones, and you did it live with a $400 amp and no studio trickery. To me, these are classic tones and some of the best of all time and some of my favorite of all time and I am incredibly impressed at how well this gear, and your hands, did the job. Bravo, boys.

[@cristysnyder7816]

Do a sounds like godsmack please!!!!

[@GeeMorno]

Dont forget guys, a HUGE part of what those memorable moments of Bryan Adams was, due to the fact of the location he recorded at, Little mountain sound. Its the room that you are hearing. "Little Mountain Sound Studios is a music recording facility located in Vancouver, British Columbia. During the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, it was the most successful recording studio in Western Canada and was the home for many years to producers Bruce Fairbairn and Bob Rock. Little Mountain recorded albums by Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Metallica, Bryan Adams, Mötley Crüe, David Lee Roth, Loverboy and the Cult among many others. In the mid 1990s". aka the "black album" & "dr feelgood". In addition, the Neve consoles used, contributed; As well as Bryan Adams has a vast selection of vintage microphones..... But we should just focus on sounds like, right? hehehe You guys did good!

[@namenorg]

sound like 90s in flames

[@MadDrummer100000]

namenorg I've been waiting for that one to come for a long time

[@jamiepotvin9818]

I absolutely loved this show guys. liked it thumbs up and followed great show

[@Basilis-yy9go]

Sounds like Randy Rhoads by busting the bank PLEASE!! Or Eddie Van Halen!!

[@mephistovonfaust]

That Run to You Riff... Omg that was beautiful!!!

[@chickenpoxwillie7229]

Brian Setzer please !

[@jakesdaddy08]

This is like Sounds like me. I owned that Gretsch for a while and still own that Strat after about 6 years of owning! Thanks guys, its an honour to be recognised (finally!)

[@tonynoon8693]

How about Neil Young and Crazy Horse?

[@leob4403]

Neil Young is pretty annoying and overrated

[@MonkeyFencing]

Nailed it! Awesome sounds and playing guys.oh the carefree happy 80s

[@gustavmetal6207]

Sound like Rammstein by busting

[@TheShreddDude]

Yes. One of my favorite tones.

[@macmurphy74]

Oh hell yes!

[@anonnieman]

Yes as at the moment it is reauested at about every other video So I think the time has come for an epic quest of endurement And strength in order to find the tone for the one And only Rammstein!

[@cathaldalymusic]

Really enjoyed this video lads. All the great tones your getting from the Katana range

[@JLAnderson_Music]

How to sound like Prince

[@robertscottpurse1]

Thanks for doing Sounds Like with a couple of my home town boys. Great Demo!

[@hogblockula9335]

PERIPHERYYYYYY PLS

[@lucianos1990]

they dont do plugins

[@floridaman7079]

Easy, buy ibanez/PRS/ Any Jackson, buy kemper, download the plugins

[@donebadd7151]

Kemper already busts their budget alone though. Periphery tends to use expensive gear so he wants to see what they choose for an affordable budget.

[@hogblockula9335]

It would be cool for them to try with something like a Helix LT, Bias mini or the AmpliFire. I'm sure one of these would do :)

[@donebadd7151]

I agree. Maybe even the Mooer GE-200 would work

[@memygtar]

I listen to classic rock , hard rock , blues but Run to you by the B-Rye is my fav song of all time. It just has a great rolling feel to it and I love the breakdown. You nailed it kudos

[@Speedo94]

Guys please do STONE TEMPLE PILOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bradrobole9475]

It's nice to see others who understand how talented and underrated Keith Scott was. His clean solos were always a huge part of the big hits Bryan had. He deserves the recognition for that.

[@sambrenton]

Sounds like The Beatles!!

[@tincanspaceman]

You guys NAILED this one!

[@Guzten2]

Please do a Sounds Like Yngwie Malmsteen!!!

[@noseyparker6622]

The best sounds like you have done by a mile lads. You couldn't have got the tones any more bang on.

[@Mournblade7]

Sound like The Reverend Horton Heat :)

[@Unexplained_Bacon]

Absolutely banging' tones on this one lads, nailed it.

[@IbCurlyBass]

Sound like: Brian Setzer Motörhead Saxon Deep Purple Rainbow Whitesnake

[@KeeperOfPoops]

Isn't Deep Purple and Rainbow pretty much the same thing considering Richie Blackmore played for both bands, but if you want you can do Steve Morse's version of Deep Purple

[@windack768]

Holy crap these sounds where great. I own a Boss Katana 100 and love it, it does literally anything.

[@peterbutrico9914]

Skynyrd or coheed and cambria!!!

[@RCAvhstape]

Also, digging the A-Team theme!

[@RoachDoggJr2112]

How about a Sound Like Sleep w/o Busting the Bank?

[@colinmcdonald7591]

Absolutely nailed it guys! Great job! That Gretch sounds sick! I'm starting to really fall for these Katana amps as well the more I hear them.
