[@nerodize_]

Somebody put that intro into the Anderton's hall of fame🤘🏽

[@joeljones5613]

HELL YEAH ☝

[@advdan]

Before you do that.... edit out the wrong chord that Rabea played at 1:16 😬

[@spiketrademark1099]

Epic intro indeed.

[@sfartshows5051]

@@advdan I actually thought that was such a nice turn ;)

[@NerdInTangelo]

@@sfartshows5051 Yeah, it's still legit somehow. Maybe it's Bea thou.

[@TheBigburcie]

Pete was trying to make the ultra metal guitar work as a jazz guitar and doing a pretty damn good job of it. Maybe they could do a series of videos where you use the wrong guitar for a music style and try to make it work.

[@Engr.KayeKier]

If i see pete and rabea i smile.

[@elijahdidomenico5755]

oh my God that opening jam was just amazing. where'd you learn to shred like that Pete!?!?!?

[@ethanalia1064]

Can Bea and Pete please make a track of them just playing guitar for half an hour straight please

[@Daviddd10]

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee they have amazing jamsssss

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

Pete really got engaged with the chugging lessons from Ola “The Swede” 🤟🏽🤣

[@clairemarie4621]

Hannah yeah

[@TheMerc1950]

Gotta love a little Killswitch on a single pickup shredder!

[@joeljones5613]

My God Bea and Pete are just so sick with it 👍 These 2 bring out the BEST in each others playing, they never disappoint EVERYTIME

[@1337million]

One detail I love about the FRX is how it has the "dents" on the sides like a cello. If I could ever afford to I'd custom order a carved top semi-hollow one with a violin finish

[@wedancedto9ether]

It is such a bloody joy to watch Rabea play. The Totemist 2880 EP is fire

[@AkiraSpectrum]

I've always had a soft-sport for the FR and FRX shape. They're so metal, yet so elegant and beautiful.

[@jackstraw79]

Normally don’t comment, but that opening was brilliant. Next level. Two masters of their crafts. So entertaining, thanks mates.

[@MrMortadelas]

Maybe due to Jim Root or Joe Duplantier but the in the weird metaller land the Telecaster is making a huge comeback. Meanwhile a jazz guitarist I know just bought a fanfret 7 string and told me that metalheads get the good stuff and every other guitar tries to vintage. Lockdowns have messed us up.

[@Crowbar11115]

I entered 2020 playing nothing but shredder guitars...here we are now and my main guitars are a Jazzmaster and a Tele. Strange times indeed.

[@BobPapadopoulos]

Teles never really left metal. Hell, even in the ESP stable Stephen Carpenter has had a 7 string ESP one a pretty long time now and Kirk Hammett's used them pretty frequently.

[@grahamferris3020]

More of Pete and Rabea!! Love how Pete is getting into metal it seams and I love watching Rabea smile while he’s watching Pete play like he’s so proud of him hahaha keep up the awesome work guys.

[@MrButterscotch1]

Absolutely superb opening jam. Top performances from Pete and Rabea.

[@lucastedman9867]

That was one hell of a intro gentleman! Keep em coming.

[@mindfall82]

Damn! That was sick! You guys have such great chemistry...looked like you were having a blast!

[@flippyup9083]

you can also tell pete has been practicing metal and shred so he can have a great time whenever rabe happens to come in for review

[@riffstofly]

You know that the party is going to be really fun when you find out that Rabea is in the house. And Pete, Awesome playing! (Like always)

[@fuckedupsk8er]

What a pair of fantastic players

[@liverloop123]

That into... BLOODY AWESOME!🤟🤘

[@nightwishlover8913]

Superb Intro Jam!! Shredmeister Pete rules!!

[@steveanklam5502]

DAMMMM!!! I hope you guys were getting paid for each note. That was epic!

[@SocksworthRiffs]

the FRX/Forest models are realllllly J-Rock/VisKei inspired and I love it.

[@Brendan_Breakdown]

I’ve been listening to Grinding Gears nonstop lately. Stoked to see Rabea rock the E-II and LTD!

[@JoseG-2023]

Smokin’ intro! 🔥 🎸

[@ememjimera5715]

😱😱 that intro! So EPIC

[@randomassguy]

Rabea is a master player and delivered such a good performance here but we all know he is in his element, Pete absolutely shocked me with that kind of playing hes got here I didn't know he had it in him they absolutely killed that intro!

[@typicalaussie7574]

That intro jam was so bad ass You guys need an Andertons spotify account to upload all these awesome intros

[@hughwphamill]

Was listening to the intro and watching without my glasses, and I thiught it was Rabea and Lee until Pete spoke, I was thinking wow Lee is shredding it today!

[@fakeaccount663]

every video with Bea and Pete is absolute fire

[@adamsolton]

That intro f*'ing rocked!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@PanosOikonomopoulos]

That intro put a big smile on my face and made me pick up the guitar! 🤘

[@jak_III]

BEST SHRED IVE SEEN ANYWHERE IN MONTHS

[@ericwarrington6650]

That was absolutely amazing...🤘😜🎸

[@Masterfighterx]

ESP don't do SS frets on any of their Japanese guitars. You might get it if you custom order one from the Japanese Customshop, but other than that, you'll only get SS frets from the USA line and top end LTDs (some of them)

[@moonelfcosmo]

Nice intro guys!

[@this_guy6965]

That LTD has such incredible sustain, wow

[@matteachus]

Insane!! 🤘🏻

[@vincentvandervaart8019]

Ahhhh i can't get the volume up higher aaaah great job guys

[@Bogdan27911]

It's always great to see Rabea and Pete jam together. I'm a little disappointed the LTD didn't have the Blackened Black Winter. I own guitars with both the EMG 81 and the SD Black Winter and I hoped to see the guys' opinion on the matter.

[@samsonlace7168]

That intro was incredibleeee

[@clairemarie4621]

Oh the harmonies! 😎

[@CM-eo1rp]

Great jam

[@MisterRorschach90]

I’ve never seen an esp in any guitar shop anywhere ever. It’s always the Ltd versions.

[@francois978]

Rabea is the man!

[@InfamouslyCantankerous]

Bea is always awesome, but I didn't know Danish pete could rip like that. Awesome job

[@xtremeburneranch]

17:29 Managed to sneek in a riff from My Curse🤣🤘🏼

[@DanielLebronTorres]

What an intro!!!!!

[@johnjgibson6807]

You Guys are Rock Stars 👍👍🎶🎶🎸

[@denmut]

They are not stainless steel frets. (E2 models) Cheers.

[@taylorjohnson5148]

Sick intro

[@michaelirons5662]

TAKE ME HOME BOYS KIN AWESOME INTRO ITS GOIA GO INTA THE HALL OF FAME.

[@lassehenriksen8027]

Nice!

[@leerolph8878]

Rabea and Killswitch on a Sunday morning, sets you up for the day! 😍

[@flippyup9083]

pete and rabea have the best chemistry between them!!

[@mickmarrett9284]

Pete!!! Is t just me or has your shredding gotten faster Love your shit BeeaAaaahhhrrgggaa!!!!

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

Rabea and Pete together? Uh, yeh I’m watching!

[@philhood4604]

I have a EC1001 CTM with EMGs. It sounds great and is so versatile

[@love4boost]

I’d love to see Pete pick up a Parker Fly Deluxe. I miss mine just for the lightness of it. Wasn’t the best sounding guitar but it has a lot of cool quirks. Like a jack of all trades master of none.

[@jakeeaton655]

Bea, master of slides

[@duvetdancer]

Metal Pete, the new Shred Guru

[@mikekraz6193]

Hell yeah!!!!!!!!

[@Salman-tt7or]

Daaaamn Pete can shred!!

[@moneyshotscott]

Please tell me that I can get this guitar with a floyd Rose bridge? Why do they not have the floyd Rose option?

[@PilgrimMinistry]

I would love to see ESP rerelease the more “Gibsony Explorer” bodies that James Hetfield used to play back in the mid-80’s, early 90’s.

[@adammaher6962]

Me too, but it's impossible I'm afraid. They got sued by Gibson and were forced to change to this bastardized version of an explorer. Those old ESPs cost a small fortune and are collectors guitars now

[@chupasaurus]

​@@adammaher6962 Technically they can make those in Japanese custom shop but you have to order, pay and get it while being inside Japan, since that court decision forbids both sales outside of Japan and mass production of any kind.

[@Mark_Ocain]

Lee and Pete do some nice jams BUT things get thermonuclear real quick when Rab's in the chair. Pete has to bring his A-game LOL. This was bloody brilliant. Makes me want to buy an ESP / EX style guit-box. I favour MIJ guitars over most anything made in the US these days. I even like the voicing of some of the active pickups they're specifying (not all though LOL)

[@eternalblack1]

Love watching these guys play! Can someone name all the pedals Pete is using?? Thanks!

[@therewasascene]

Duuuude Bea the Epiphone Gothics! Made you an instant-badass playing shows in high school (into Mesa or 5150 or ... >.> solid state Marshall) Takes me back to the days of poring over Musician’s Friend catalogs when I first dove into the world of electric guitar

[@johnp.hayden1099]

Have one frx, want more. Monster. Awesome. Great.

[@colinparks619]

Nice frx

[@StuffWhatGoesBoom]

Had to throw a like for some KSE

[@che2335]

I am rocked like a hurricane

[@thesharksfin109]

I would play the FRX for blues. Ok, maybe swap out the pickups, but I objectively love the looks of that guitar in every way.

[@shanewalton8888]

In Japan I got the GrassRoots version of the FRX. Very cool even at the $600 price range.

[@pierredenis5291]

Is the esp eii ex nt neck dive when it play stand up ?

[@mr.phil.a]

Where are the ex black metal made? Indonesia? Korea? Or both? Ordered mine just waiting for it to arrive 😭

[@kylepetersen3016]

OMG i can not tell you how much i love Elixir Strings. they are just MMMMMMMMMM delicious.

[@sourishguha647]

Mah man played The Curse at the end by getting the feel

[@tonybrown7847]

Love esp guitars

[@masoncusack]

THAT WAS NOT A JAM IT WAS MAGIC

[@sarwononputra3370]

Its a mistake watching this video. A big one. Now im craving for that EX even more 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@nathanielvargas3863]

Normally I wouldn’t care for a “metal guitar” but that carved top looks sooo cool

[@adamski101]

Preposterously butt-ugly IMO. Looks like a house spider.

[@fraenkiboii]

I wonder how much does it cost, to actually take over the andertons channel for a day? Neither do I have any gear to sell nor do I own a known guitar brand, but I'd hang with the guys and shoot random blindfolds all day long.

[@syedijlalofficial]

❤

[@J_Braz_]

I just got a Ltd black metal. It's pretty fn awesome. The thru-neck design gives it a nice resonance... Mine at least. I have two other Ltd ex's btw. A 2007 ex-400 that's at least 8 lbs, a 2014 ex-360 in the 6 lbs range. My ex-blk metal is about 6 lbs too. But the sustain is noticably better. Again the thru-neck is likely the reason.

[@user-fd6tg3rn4m]

FAB-U- LUS NOW YOUR TALKING TO ME GUITARS.

[@thedanksavatron7782]

Nissssssssssssssssssce 🍻

[@lukeytac]

17:45 is that lick in a song.. sounds insane.

[@timbrokkoli7386]

Yeah that's from Killswitch engage - my curse

[@crimsonwring2723]

God DAYUM!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@MrNeilfatmonkey]

Is EMG how they say O.M.G! in Yorkshire?

[@shanesmith7672]

Damn he didn't show the black EX. Got one ordered !

[@tipusage]

Pete shredding more than Rabea? Is this Andertons in a parallel universe?

[@MrJasonsan]

Pete and Bea!!!! Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@TheM00ndawg]

Pete got that wide stance.

[@mindfall82]

Tom Araya's sig bass is an frx!🤘

[@moatepribia]

EX series has a great shape, but it would be even better with 24 frets.

[@markstewart8171]

I think the opening jam was the music that Jack black was talking about when they made the song tribute.

[@lukaszskywalker6755]

I think you need to hire Ola Englund to test metal Gear, 🤘chug 👍

[@ravelitschimo]

I personally prefer the snakebyte-style. but great playing skills.
