The Captain Meets Matt Schofield

[@jboughtin7522]

Matt has one of the best live guitar sounds I've ever heard, not to mention his chops and creative style of playing. Exceptional songwriter and musician.

[@PeterKertesz2013]

AWESOME interview, thank you for introducing Lonnie Mack to me!🎸🔥

[@MC-1976Mei]

Such a great talent! His phrasing & that sound is to die for.

[@MattyK-USA]

Wonderful interview. Matt is a towering talent and a very grounded gentleman as well.

[@AndyBankside]

Without exception the best British guitarist since Eric Clapton. It's great to also see how modest and reflective he is

[@tonyred520]

since Clapton..actual Lol..always the yardstick..people know Clapton and that's it.

[@9418matthew]

Matt just seems to nail the tension and release, so good.

[@davelate4148]

I'd like to see the Captain meets…..his Dad …….. about the beginnings of the store ….. and Lee

[@PaulJonesy]

Jesper Henriksen yes I think it was.

[@davelate4148]

@@NeungView ….Lee has said his father and Grandfather, both drummers, started the store in 1964.....his brother is also a pro drummer.....

[@JustinBeckGuitar]

It’s up now!

I dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!

[@nathanmontover1436]

Wanted to add that I have taken both of Matt's classes on Truefire. They are incredible. Easy to follow but complex enough that you can learn something new every time you work with the material at nearly every level. I gig at least once a week in a blues group and these videos have done a lot to help me evolve as a live player. And if you haven't seen the KZbin video of his show at the Funky Biscuit (2017 11 10) please go check it out. There is something wonderful going on there and it is immediate. I am on a huge MS kick right now as a result of watching that show. Can't wait to see him live. Sorry to be a fanboy :)

[@marcpaola1371]

Nothing wrong with being a major fan. Im a huge fan also and he is a super player and a super nice guy to. A few years ago I pushed some festival organizers here in Australia to get him out for our jazz and blues festival. He was bloody awesome that night. I also got to speak to him back stage after his show and he is a very down to earth muso. You wont he disapointed when you see him live.

[@littlerhodyguitar2169]

YEAH, I've been waiting for this episode for years. Matt is a friend of mine and I've told him "you have to do an episode of The Captain Meets" this is Killa!!

[@wizard4203]

really? wow, im so jealous, matt is a big inspiration to me, he has my favorite blues playing of the living guys today. hes the best imo. how do you know him? can you tell him Brian from hawaii loves him

[@nathanmontover1436]

What an incredibly gifted player, and what a gift that you made this video. Thank you!

[@gillesgenete9598]

Love so much the inspirational playing of Matt. So musical and soulful. And that Strat sound is the ONE I like.

[@jeffreyweber8006]

I've loved this dude for awhile now. Great fingers on this guy. Love his sound, love his approach.

[@russellsmith2979]

Have loved Matts playing for 25 years, a joy to see and hear him, a great interview also by Lee. Russ down under.

[@jeffreymorris1752]

Matt is the reason I started playing guitar again after putting it away for 17 years. I built a couple of Warmoth strats that match his spec, got a Two Rock, whole deal. I don't play lke Matt but listening to him, I figured out that it's okay to sound nice - to sound interesting and not harsh. I think he's a pioneer of sorts.

[@sandrosadhukhan]

Good going!

[@paolomontrone7656]

Matt is one of the truly gratest talents today, not just playing the blues but evolving and refine guitar playing. We can only wish him all success and all possibilities to expand his ideas and productions not limited by tight budgeting which unfortunately today impact great artists. His Truefire courses are incredibly useful , practical and inspiring. Lee thanks for the talk, you have a career as tv host show, tactful and intelligent.

[@stewartmclean207]

I love Matt's playing, such a good player and inspiration, so happy to see him on this show

[@GertrudeGrindhorn]

Matt hotfoot from TPS...what a gent Matt is, so humble, honest a real guitar player. Dumped his large pedal board for what he really needs...a lesson the for us all. I love the fact that he uses a British made 'S' type guitar. All along, since 1970, I always wanted a 100 watt Hiwatt amp & 4x12, and now I know why...for the headroom...Thanks Matt :)

[@johnathanwetherill456]

I never heard of Matt but have been using his string set for a A year now. As soon as I used the set I knew I had the tone I was looking for. Had no idea that Matt was a blues man. The tone says it all. Great string set. 11 to 54 with a softer mid gauge. SRV style.

[@Gibfenez]

Captain does it again. Really enjoy seeing the humanness of fantastic guitarist’s that your line of questioning brings out. It’s about the playing and the gear but it’s the person that makes it real. Thanks Lee you amplify the music with a human touch!

[@darrenc8776]

Haha good one.

[@acpinion1]

Just beautiful. And to hear him praise John S impresses me, "my hero".

[@guitarnut6144]

Never heard of this guy; his thoughts on dynamics, etc. is very refreshing. Regarding "too bluesy for jazz, too jazzy for blues", these ideas never come from musicians, only fans or critics feel the need to so tightly compartmentalize art.

[@akjl01]

Great interview..👍 What a player! Super tone. Thanks..

[@belo1971]

Sometimes a bit complicated guitar solos...Awesome player, seems humble and affordable ! Love him for years now. kindest regards from France, Happy new year all Folks ! Viva ANDERTON’S 🤘

[@Steve--RR666]

Great guitarist could watch him all day play that strat

[@Kasper911band]

That tone is to die for! 🏆

[@Tolbiny]

Fabulous interview, well done and thank you. I too have bought both Matt's TrueFire courses and can confirm they are incredible. It's like sitting down for a personal three hour lesson with the man, just brilliant.

[@juanesquivelmadrid]

Finally!!! Captain, you are the best interviewer...EVER!

[@davidcotton6999]

Really interesting interview, thanks! Matt's touch and tone is one of the very best out there right now. Love that jazziness he brings to it, rather than the same old blues scales. Awesome!

[@jonnybeck6723]

Luv it luv it luv it (!,!,!) YES! my all time favorite guitar hero... So where is part TWO? Thanx, Lee... You're truly a great and charming host/interviewer... and, Why oh why did you not jam a bit??? ( your playing is truly good e-nuff (!) and better all the time IMHO) Thanx again & cheers

[@misterchippie]

I last saw Matt live in November 2014 in Sale, Manchester - what a fantastic gig. It's been too long! Come back to Brewery Arts in Kendal so I can see you live again Matt!

[@mikefenton5634]

Matt is a fantastic guitar player. Simon Law's SVL guitars are unreal as well in the hand of Matt.

[@robert_starling]

Great interview of a great guitarist! More videos like these please!!!

[@mwhcherokee1]

I have been a fan of Matt’s for several years now. His tone and playing are what makes him a favorite of mine. I started using John Mangon strings several years ago because I loved the tone from hearing Matt play.

[@brunetts33]

You mean Curt Mangan strings perhaps ?

[@BigEdWo]

to be honest, i did not know matt schofield, because i confused him with the other two. but he is such a likeable person and he sounds really huge. i will definitely check him out.

[@j.k.4584]

Matt is so cool I just bought his course on Truefire.

[@stevepierce5472]

One of the best, most interesting Cap meets.

[@RandyWillcox]

He's brilliant! I watched the TPS video with him from last Friday. I immediately decided I need the Mad Professor Supreme. NOW...I need the damn Super Black too. Especially knowing what they're capable of through my V140! 🙌🏻

[@sandrosadhukhan]

What you need is a Two Rock Classic Reverb...😉

[@Brmmsilva]

Great interview! The show Matt did with That Pedal Show was also Great! What a lovely guy and guitar hero!

[@lincolnosiris3665]

I never clicked so fast in my life...

[@olzhasbeis]

I haven’t seen it yet, but I know that it would be brilliant!

[@jakerichmond9624]

I love that guitar, ive been.building some strats of my own.

[@wizard4203]

this is my favorite living guitarist of all time

[@lukeparagas2056]

Logically speaking, that can't be.

[@tomblaze2]

Great Interview!

[@willgoodfellow4235]

Thanks for making my Sunday morning breakfast and coffee even better!

[@1961jscofield]

Great day to be a Scofield!

[@joaoaugustofreire6701]

Jesus F. Christ, that's the best strat tone I've ever heard

[@tontonbourre6676]

Ain't it?

[@ezzong]

So prominent and sharp yet so comfortable on the ears, it was kind of confusing

[@kimmolingonheimo]

hi there, owning 5 Yamaha Pacifica 112 Vs, and 4 Mad Professor Simbles, and one Twimble( soon arriving), Matt has his own signature ped: the Mad Professor Supreme! ( sadly both Simble and Twimble are discontinued,)...

[@graemero5532]

Matt Schofield is an awesome player. Cheers Captain.

[@JP-gt8qr]

Captain meets Michael Landau, please make it happen.

[@mrguillemot]

Totally agree, Landau is great

[@joethelionband5169]

Amazing guitarist... his TrueFire courses are great!

[@Incarcerant]

Would love to see Sonny Landreth on Captain Meets

[@jackanything]

One of my best bluesman

[@fabrizioluccitti6960]

Fantastic player

[@craiger2399]

Oh man, awesome intro tone!

[@angrybuzzy]

Really enjoyed this interview. Matt is the Man. Thanks captain

[@babagadoush1]

Great interview. Matt seems like a cool dude. I first heard him on a video jamming with GE Smith and was blown away!

[@Jpetersson]

Fantastic guitarist!

[@Blues-man.]

Such a fantastic blues player, None better !

[@RC32Smiths01]

I don't know why, but when I saw the last name I thought The Captain Meets John Scofield haha. Still of course always a treat when I see another one of these episodes

[@johnnymurray100]

Stevie got by as a singer? Come on Lee...his voice was the perfect compliment to his guitar

[@JaakkoTK]

Supreme player he is! Thanks for great interview!

[@deano-uv6dr]

could you try really hard to persuade mr.David Gilmour to appear in the famous Anderson’s interview room . I’m sure everybody would love to hear him talk about his roots and of course the guitars and gear. Thank you

[@soerenguitarlessons9947]

Great interview. It never gets superficial

[@FilippaArendt]

I have made a video with Matt, he's super kind!! 🎶

[@marknorris3769]

i think mr anderton is a better journalist than a merchant

[@johnfritzenjr.1240]

Amazing guitarist

[@shiraga0516]

I once saw B.B. playing in bebop style in one of KZbin videos, and it looked very easy for him. Doubtlessly B.B. is technically very capable.

[@GJSsongsmith]

Brilliant interview Lee , Matt is a true gent and awesome player .

[@RedRose4711]

Excellent episode.

[@markeecoward]

best intro to a video EVER

[@mrguillemot]

“What I really love is music”...yep sounds pretty reasonable to me 😀

[@MauroBosio]

Please call Robben and Matt for a side-by-side interview.

[@rasmusthrane7957]

Great episode. What amp is he playing through? The V40 in the background ?

[@NathanR648]

I'm wandering the same thing! Can't find any info though...

[@blueshoddan]

Insane timing!

[@0o0MrBlues0o0]

Amazing ! :) Thanks

[@VlrGuitarWorld]

Finally....Matt the bluesmaster's on the show. Next episode - Jack White (in my dreams...lol)

[@_RLP]

Perfect way to start the day. Thanks, Lee. PS- would love to see Ben Poole and Colin James here. And it's time Dan Patlansky came back. Or Josh Smith!

[@russellchase3626]

Dans already been on i think?

[@SevenPillarOfFolly]

Is there somewhere we can watch the Anderton's Events, if we can't make it to Guildford?

[@goswo]

Really strange world. One of the best blues guitarists, and then its difficult to make it, just playing music. Whats going wrong?

[@tonedowne]

Recorded music has little to no market value, and there isn’t really any space in the mainstream for this type of musician. Like when Bowie got SRV to play on his record, it pushed him out into the mainstream. That kind of opportunity doesn’t exist anymore. It’s not like Ed Sheerhan is going to start putting lead guitar breaks on his songs.

[@goswo]

Kebo Boke yor are right Kebo. But its sad. We slowly kill culture and real artists with quick mainstream “music”. I hope we some day find a way to support the good artists :-)

[@tonedowne]

@@goswo Yeah, the really sad part is that streaming has popped up and is an amazing resource for music consumers and creators, but very little of the money it generates goes back into investing in the production of new music. Companies like Apple and Spotify are tech companies, not music companies. So as much as record labels have always been bastards, it was at least their business to find and create new talent and invest in creating music. the new digital mediums are pretty parasitical in comparison.

[@bryanclarke1927]

A Lancashire lad - good on yer!

[@Cmiller85]

Yes!! Yes!! Yes!!

[@ShredShed]

Oh lawd that tone is juicy!!

[@darrenc8776]

I'm surprised no one mentions Freddie king.

[@supermel9]

Nice interview, next, the captain meets Johnny Marr.

[@The5tig94]

Get Dave Gilmour on the show

[@Katira-KR7]

or Neil schon or Brian May

[@MattyK-USA]

@@Katira-KR7 I think we're good with David Gilmour 😉. Not holding my breath, though.

[@PaulJonesy]

MattyK USA I think it depends if DG is aware of Andertons. He lives in Brighton which is Chappers territory.

[@MattyK-USA]

@@PaulJonesy It would certainly be epic if Rob could somehow broker an appearance. Gilmour is beyond wealthy, though, and has no incentive to appear based on compensation.

[@CastlesMadeOf...]

He's not promoting or endorsing any stuff ;)

[@rcoveyduc]

Matt Tonefield

[@LeeRoads]

Love the show......Trower won't drop by? (hint, hint)

[@robertbrancato9478]

Love Matt. Stevie got by as a singer? Listen again. ;)

[@yellingelk]

Matt's a great guitar player who makes impressive music... that's all that should ever matter. Why are people so fixated on labelling every darn thing, and insisting that all artists be placed into easily identifiable musical boxes? Musical purists of any genre really bother me for this reason. Music is meant to expand and find new areas of expression... Hendrix himself used to be forever frustrated with folks going on and on about the old blues legends, and how he himself was supposed to fit into their idea of what the blues were supposed to be all about.

[@johnnymurray100]

34:12 best advice ever

[@danielcgomez]

I wonder what amp is beneath the Bassman on the Right(Behind Lee) ..Looks like a Dumble? Would've loved to have heard Matt play thur it :P ...So happy to see him on the show!

[@guitarelaxed]

It´s an SL Amps Custom Clean which Danish Pete got as a gift from the builder. It´s basically a clone of a Dumble Steel String Singer.

[@danielcgomez]

@@guitarelaxed sweet! Is there a video with it featured? .. Thanks again!

Can you do a blindfold challenge and see if you can figure out who is playing? would be really fun. Captain and Rob blindfold and figure if you can figure out if it's pete or rabea playing.
