The Star Wars Guitar Rig Challenge

[@gibsona01]

Back to the future challenge - 50s style vintage gear vs 2016 modern gear.

[@sweliam1]

YESYESYESYES

[@thenicejari]

YESSSSSSS

[@UkiMalefu]

Great Scott! this!

[@dannylange2531]

I second this

[@andrewbow9557]

Pleeeaaaaase

[@insanealpaca]

What kind of amp does Jar Jar use? Mesa Boogie!

[@thejrfanclub628]

up you go

[@JgHaverty]

God damnit. God damn you to hell.

[@MrThx3876]

This is the single greatest KZbin comment of all time.

[@toolatetocolonize]

Top comment for sure

[@guruzini1971]

he got about to the garage........bang

[@JamesKenningtonMusic]

Ok... I'm not freaking out at all! WTF!!Hey guys it's James! I just wanted to say thank you so much Rob for an unforgettable moment in my life! I got to meet yourself, Rabea and the Captain! Inspirations to myself and I'm sure many others. Honestly I am still stunned from it and I wish I wasn't so nervous but again thank you!!

[@CloudMcLongfoot]

#James4Dorje

[@styx85]

Ha, I didn't even think you knew who he was. Well done!

[@patrickb3064]

You were great!

[@JunkieMonkey321]

What was the riff? sounded like mark tremonti or something.

[@JamesKenningtonMusic]

It's just a riff I've had tucked away that keeps cropping up and I just come back to playing it! The section at the end had those modified power chords that Tremonti likes to use a lot :)

[@DrDizzleFrizzle]

"Are you in a band?" *Oh my god, Rob Chapman is going to ask me to audition for a band* "No" "You should be" *;-;*

[@morddas]

LOL! I thought the same thing.

[@JamesKenningtonMusic]

There was inner fan boy screaming when it happened! That made not just my day but weirdly helped me appreciate what I was doing and not just hating everything I do :P but also not intentionally solo... Just a hermit living on the Internet!

[@bencarroll8819]

He was probably going to give a shoutout

[@lunchpin403]

+Ben Carroll definitely would have done

[@DelScully]

was that you bro? Sounded amazing!

[@jarljack]

the Belgian guy here. thanks for slicing me up Rob, it was an honor!

[@MrSophisma]

You should have said "This is not the belgian you're looking for.", and wave your hand.

[@RobChappers]

You are welcome ;-)

[@MegaGrungedude]

Fleming or walloon? :)

[@jarljack]

Fleming haha, this just makes it more difficult for the rest of the world

[@MegaGrungedude]

Ah! ne vlaming se ;) . valt het wat mee in engeland?

[@NickKBMusic]

I'm surprised Captain didn't take a David Gilmour custom strat.. He could have had the dark side of the moon on his side.

[@BlueCrewSlackers]

aayyyy!!

[@BigBlueSpaceGoat]

Thats no moon... its a battlestation

[@DanLokar]

That's genius

[@leehodge2415]

best comment to a dumb video like this ever.

[@judyberger3041]

I agree completely.

[@Little960]

I think Lee should have taken a ''Blackstar'' amp

[@rgalvezmusic24]

Same man

[@iwannacuddleurbutt]

Could've even gotten some butt jokes out of it.

[@tecnogadget2]

The Orange dark terror seems better

[@audioproductionmusicproduc8518]

Always thought Black Custom is the best guitar design ever

[@LukeNolen]

Yes! I love Backstars!

[@eromero]

Does Lee remind you of C3PO more than Vader or is it just me?

[@louiscarrollmusic-lcm5331]

I thoroughly agree

[@bartdwmusic1212]

Do a crossroads one! Where rob is the 'devil' with a metal/shred rig and capt with the classical rig

[@billknowsall1]

+Steve Hudson Lee never saw the movie, at lest that's what he said in another video.

[@IanWrigleyNZ]

How could he not see a blues based guitar movie, that just screams Lee Anderton

[@Robstafarian]

That movie has as much to do with guitar as The Karate Kid has to do with martial arts (hint: sparring is not evil).

[@billknowsall1]

Still seeing the captain battling for his sole what be something I would watch. Lee v jack butler.

[@andrewpappas9311]

The Devil Went Down to Anderton's, he was looking for a rig to play

[@jakematherne3545]

Best part of the whole video is when Rob stops everything to listen to that guy play😂

[@rickeyryan303]

That guy just commeted above you..

[@phantomechelon3628]

It was a very cool riff, to be fair... ;-)

[@jonbush7467]

He hears a really cool original riff coming from the guitar room and has the cat play it for him again. Then says..."You in a band?".. The guy says "No"- "Well you should be in a band". Someone with his talent and ability hears something that grabs his attention like that. . .. Says a lot! That was just a really cool impromptu 8 to 10 second scene!

[@joemurrell2099]

Could you imagine walking into a guitar shop and seeing two grown men playing with lightsabres??

[@TheCheeseBaker]

If I did, I'd want to go to that shop allot more often

[@billknowsall1]

I'm 50 and my daughter is 25 and we had a battle all over a Wal-Mart and 2 o'clock in the morning, until that asked us to leave.

[@SmellsLikePurple]

*lightsabers Cheers from America

[@billknowsall1]

[@SmellsLikePurple]

Nah, Nerf stuff is foam

[@MyRealName]

Seeing the Captain make Star Wars sounds - priceless.

[@pablogriswold421]

About six grand~~~ Garsh.

[@likeanuuk6612]

you would get a kick out of that video of rabea playing star wars on the ibanez rgkp6

[@jesseyasaitis9036]

7:24.....That was the COOLEST thing I've ever seen on youtube. Stopping mid thought to compliment someone on their playing. Rob is a man of the people. Thank you so much for being who you are and doing what you do!

[@Jakubkobelis]

Darth Vader would have used a 7 or 8 string.

[@zfehnel]

I think you're right. I really do.

[@DerEchteBold]

Certainly not!

[@tradeka4206]

True

[@DerEchteBold]

In the times of the empire such contraptions weren't in existence ; )

[@famitory]

[@drawwithbeektor6329]

I miss the good old days. 😞 I’ve been rewatching the golden era lately.

[@efranle]

How about a band vs band challenge? Led Zeppelin vs The Who, maybe?

[@harrysouter2304]

Yes!

[@Balance3rd]

Yeees

[@AfroAmericn]

AC/DC vs Black Sabbath

[@ivorharden]

Deep purple vs Rainbow

[@harryevans1117]

AC/DC and Guns and Roses

[@Luca-bv9fh]

Vader would use a Flying V

[@patrickkoekenbier6333]

exactly my thought! the dark side listens to metal!!!

[@andrewcantrick9065]

I have a t-shirt of vader with a flying V

[@14lamnc1]

+Patrick Koekenbier Hopefully you know the V wasn't designed for playing metal in 1958.

[@patrickkoekenbier6333]

Nathan Lam no I know man, People like Albert King and Jimi Hendrix used to play them, but recently it's mostly in Metal, some good Jacksons, like Dave Mustaine and other metal guitarists.

[@14lamnc1]

Patrick Koekenbier okay great, I just dislike people going into the stereotype of Flying V's being only associated with Metal haha.

[@slyde1545]

The way he laughs after he says “imperial credits” gets me every freaking time. So funny

[@highintlowwis6580]

"I wanna be one from a GOOD film!" My hero.

[@deltasquad62]

[@lmcf_gtr]

Couldn't have rob got a purple guitar? Mace Windu was Jedi

[@didds8869]

They make it extremely obvious that they don't want anything to do with the prequels

[@The10000lbGorilla]

In the EU, some Jedi used Red and some sith used purple, blue, etc. , Red was just more common among the sith mainly because of Darth Sidious and his students.

[@cullenjames7542]

It's a moot point now since the UK is leaving the EU.

[@ArtemisBumwhistle]

Ilum I believe, and yes you are correct. The synthetic crystals usually made the user turn to the dark side.

[@The10000lbGorilla]

Cullen James Bra-fucking-vo

[@nicktaylor1902]

Lets be real, Vader would've played a 7-string bass

[@kiranevetts7868]

yeah! 😂

[@andrewpappas9311]

Do those exist?

[@rickeyryan303]

Yes and 8 string and 10 string and 18 string

[@deltasquad62]

Andrew Pappas there's a 24 string bass I have seen it

[@andrewpappas9311]

deltasquad62 Cool

[@dylc413]

"hey look, the overrated special... that could apply to anything that's not the first 3 films" *apply cold water to the burned area*

[@zachisebi]

Being told by Rob that you should be in a band is about as good as it gets.

[@johanneswarn5488]

That riff that James played was KILLER, nice Dorje-y vibe to it

[@harrysouter2304]

These aren't the rigs you're looking for ....

[@patrickperry6898]

Lol

[@TehMasterofownage]

#JamesForDorje!

[@AndrewG0901]

100%

[@user-kd2wj9km3v]

Sum 41 is doing it just fine

[@JamesKenningtonMusic]

Ahaha! This is hilarious... Or amazing!! I dunno! XD Honestly thank you for the kind words! I'm awful at taking compliments but if Dorje were hiring ;)

[@thewaterboyjjx175]

probably terrible. that's super out of key.

[@jesselamoni9677]

I love seeing Chappers nerdy side come through! Bespin, imperial credits, etc 👍🏽

[@EpictheEpicest]

16:19 Actually, Alec Guinness bought some stock in Star Wars merchandising before the movie ever came out. Because of that genius move he was able to make bank off of that one movie after struggling for most of his career, and he was able to be more selective in his subsequent roles. That + what he earned in his return in the next 2 movies did not exactly leave him "poor Alec Guinness"

[@dextermarlowe9750]

Lee could've gone all-out Stromtrooper (white ES-335 and an Orange Thunderverb).

[@isodoublet]

"If it was to be pronounced Maryland they shouldn't have spelled it Maryland". Okay. I'm heading over to Lei-ces-ter square meeting a mate that's just arrived from york-shire. We're heading over to Nor-which afterwards, and maybe we'll drop by Ply-mouth too.

[@samuelpentecost4990]

Shoutout to Plymouth!

[@fuckenloser9765]

Samuel Pentecost "shout out to a shit hole"

[@YouTubeChannel-gv7ph]

Want to sail down The Thames after?

[@doughhole]

Rob, as a human being and a subscriber to your channel.Seeing you recognize someone else as a musician and someone with talent INDEED, i tip my hat to you, and you have solidified my faith in humanity, you are model human being , for that i give you much respect BRO!!!! Guitar players unite!!

[@doughhole]

i also have all the ewok movies on dvd lol

[@alexanderhigh3834]

when will the results of the rig competition be released? :D

[@kps2642]

i am also waiting

[@malleymusic1556]

same, its the reason i made this channel, i need to upload

[@ronniehighnote6559]

Star Wars and Guitar? The two greatest things in the world in one place! The force is strong with this video!

[@chi1017]

for a good vs bad they could do The Fellowship vs Sauron's Army

[@judemisura4323]

UniversalArc27 yes

[@deltasquad62]

duuuuuuude

[@pauldigga5419]

Isn’t that what AA is called? The fellowship. All set.

[@hickorymccay2994]

Fellowship: Jimmy Page Dragon Tele (duh), or Goldtop Les Paul, and some kind of gold Marshall or a green amp. Sauron Army: Some black and red metal guitar, or a Tele Noir, and a high-gain amp.

[@henrybreadfork]

TIL that Chappers is a total Star Wars geek. As if I needed another reason to love his videos.

[@andrewbailey7999]

Rebel scumbuckers. A great set of pickups, don't you know

[@akeeperofoddknowledge4956]

Andrew Bailey ; lmao at that one!

[@xytrouble07]

When Rob went into the guitar room excited about a good guitarist shows how passionate and how much he loves music. It made me smile for some reason.

[@Cloud-og1qo]

Not the first time you and captain had a sword fight....

[@CharliePutz]

This is a great idea for a whole series of videos! The possibilities are endless.

[@georgehill6098]

A BC Rich Warlock would have been sithier but the les Paul sounds better.

[@battyboyzzz]

Awesome! Rob, you seem to have a knack of making people feel really good! I am sure you made that Belgian dude and that guitarist's day!

[@cameronrowley8356]

These guys should do a podcast

[@bipbipletucha]

Amazingly Chappers actually kinda got some clean tones in this vid. Didn't think that was possible!

[@tylersaltmarsh9025]

Lee should have picked that 5150 stealth

[@aryotaheri7421]

This right here is why I fucking LOVE this channel and you guys.

[@peterm4675]

-Be Kylo Ren! -No! -Why? -I only want to be one from a good film. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 truth

[@phantomechelon3628]

Good boy Lee! :D

[@bipbipletucha]

Man that Vela is gorgeous, both in looks and sound

[@Jishhhhhhhh]

Running out of ideas much haha?

[@damonstewart70]

I agree,especially since they never really REVIEW anything just DEMO/SHOWCASE.The boss waza amp sucks Ass & they gave it props.Really used to like this channel & I think it has SOME good moments,but after finding TONY MACKENZIE channel I really lost some respect for these guys.Their Chapman guitars are awesome though!!!

[@didds8869]

No way. This is one of their best vids

[@ezer0923]

+Didds a few minutes in and I think I agree with you

[@damonstewart70]

+Thom Yanks good point,never looked at it that way,so it's really comedy??? just thought that with their skill they'd be reviewing....I stand corrected😊

[@Jishhhhhhhh]

Probably a KZbin first ^^^

[@mcFreaki]

machete order is the best way to watch star wars. it goes 4-5-2-3-6, skipping 1 entirely. it only shows the relevant parts of Vader's backstory, and also almost completely gets rid of jar-jar (who has 5 lines in episode 2, and none in episode 3). with that order, it starts off with the film that does the best job of establishing the universe, gives you the relevant stories of both luke and anakin, and intertwines them at the end with the most satisfying finish. it's also the best order to show a first timer because it preserves the one huge spoiler, and then leaves you on a cliffhanger as it goes into vader's backstory once the spoiler is revealed (essentially turning 2 and 3 into a 4 hour, 42 minute flashback sequence), and then it cuts to the beginning of episode 6, where it shows some pretty concerning behaviour from luke. it preserves the narrative flow, keeps luke as the main focus of the story and recontextualizes the two important movies of the prequel trilogy into something actually worthwhile. as for episode 1? it's suggested that if you _really want to watch it_, do it after as a sort of appendix.

[@jounilaitinen1641]

If i were rob i wouldve chosen the evh 5150 III in white with a matching cab

[@HatchA_Makes...]

"I only wanna be one from a GOOD film!" Simply. Brilliant!!!

[@InsanEMetal654]

Lee & Rob - What are your thoughts on Rogue One?

[@RobChappers]

Looks great!!

[@ofir_likes_beer]

+Rob Chapman Its out?

[@lotromaster14]

+ofir izhar ofcourse not haha just a trailers can give you opinions ;p

[@ofir_likes_beer]

+thehawk ofmetal Oh

[@damonstewart70]

+ofir izhar I have it

[@bricksmashtv3]

Lee's "Imperial March" rendition was gorgeous! Full cover please!

[@ewanjrobertson94]

If lee can pick black/grey he can pick every single amp in existence except orange lol.

[@tomreynolds3296]

+ orange sort of counts as red so...

[@Rabidius]

And Orange amps sometimes make black amps...

[@pablogriswold421]

+Rabidius I have a black Orange Crush 20

[@zac_m]

That PRS is gorgeous but wow is the Boogie kicking the shit out of the Orange

[@EzyRyder14]

While I agree, Maryland was one of the original 13 colonies, so your country gave it the name and pronunciation...

[@nigeltufnel2645]

Quality of videos seriously going up! Love all these challenge vids and the bump up in comedy! Keep up the good work!

[@JuwanHoward05]

Lee how can The Force Awakens be a bad film if its exactly the same as the first Star Wars

[@chrisbeal5491]

That's true.

[@billknowsall1]

because its the same as the trust movie. same as the new ghost busters.

[@curtainpoles3120]

JuwanHoward05 but it's not

[@jacenwfoster1701]

JuwanHoward05 its terrible its no where as good as A new hope its the same story concept yes but the movie doesnt really stand well by itself its like the second worst film

[@williw.5815]

Because Rey is a mary sue and they leave out viable information about certain characters to create a 'mystery' of some sort but all it does is making you wonder why the people do what they do. And the setting makes no sense at all??? There is a new government in the galaxy any some regime has 10x the power the one had that has just been defeat? It sucks...

[@DonLafontaine62]

the captain's rig sounded fantastic. I can honestly say that is the best sounding rig I've ever heard since I've been watching these videos. yeah the price is a little out there but wow, that kicks!

[@thefounder681]

"if you strike me down i shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine" is what you meant to say Champpers

[@TechMetalRules]

Oh, man! This episode reminds me of the rig I used to have with my old metal band! A black Gibson V with a mirror pickguard and red Bare Knuckle Painkillers plugged into a block 5150 with a custom faceplate that said "Darth" on top of a Vader cab.

[@apfelmistnutte]

Come on the Black EVH amp looked much more darth vader

[@NinjaCerdo]

I must say, the integrity of NOT using your own brand is awesome. It really says a lot about you, as well as all of the people that are a part of the various shows in the Chapman and Anderton's video series

[@DanielONeillGuitar]

Will there ever be a chapman amp series?

[@HoracioGarciaMusic]

not if he continues with Victory

[@DanielONeillGuitar]

yeah i agree but damn some of the victory amps are expensive

[@AstralElephantFuzz]

Hopefully not.

[@JohnSmith-ki2eq]

The most logical course would be for Chapman guitars to buy a stake in Victory amps once CG gets big enough to think about acquisitions, Blackstar are too big now for CG to buy into but Victory are still small enough to be a viable partner company.

[@e79tank]

that riffage in the background as chapters makes his choice is awesome

[@drichcymru]

Alec Guinness DID take a percentage of the gross to the tune of £50million+

[@thehont8648]

Yup.

[@MzRtS12]

yes! Sir Alec did in fact go for the percentage!

[@RylanStorm]

Mzrts12 one of the first actors to do so.

[@paulmyfinger]

Unlike Darth, he still hasn't been paid for any of his work due to "Hollywood accounting"

[@jimistephen]

Rod, there is a green amp, it's actually called Green Amps. Also, you could have used purple as some Jedi had purple lightsabers, which would allowed you to use a PRS int violet, which is probably the best purple color guitar ever.

[@flukecentral5641]

why didnt the cap chose an SG. the obvious choice

[@ronniehighnote6559]

Oh my and a Flash Gordon reference too? You guys are too much fun and awesome.

[@BigZiz]

Captain Amercia vs Iron Man challenge, the Captain would be the actual Captain and Chappers would be C-3P...ehm Iron Man

[@victorramsey5575]

I think its awesome that Lee's daughter relates C3PO to IronMan. Their construction is similar. Good eye kid!

[@shockt9610]

I liked episode 3....fight me!

[@shockt9610]

But I think we can all agree George Lucas is better at making television shows than movies in the last 20 years.

[@Preussenpenner]

+shockt9610 the Clone Wars and Rebels \m/

[@Eleolune696]

I enjoyed the prequels... But I can't argue with people saying they are messed up.

[@shockt9610]

+anonny mouse Hayden Christensen's best line was "I HATE YOU!" Also he did best when he didn't say much but showed his emotions through his facial expressions.

[@Eleolune696]

WhiteSaucage Scar watching the 2008 Clone Wars currently, avoided it for a while because the movie did not really excite me that much. But it's a lot better than I expected and I got hooked on it after a few episodes!

[@zach0520]

You guys are nuts, great fun as always!

[@curtainpoles3120]

I think Vader would use a starcaster

[@krimescenez]

Curtain Poles he would use a flying v

[@rexvictor2383]

I play through the dark side rig everyday. I own a boogie v:25 and a black ‘70 les Paul custom. Great selection Cap!

[@TheCoronaMortis]

I want to be that James guy Rob was watching, James if you're here. You're lucky.

[@JamesKenningtonMusic]

Was the best day of my life! Honestly made my day! Love the Rammstein covers!

[@TheCoronaMortis]

+JKMusic you lucky son of a gun! Haha thank you!

[@nathanquinn471]

JKMusic, are you the James?! You should also upload more guitar videos! Nice Alter Bridge cover by the way! \m/

[@JamesKenningtonMusic]

Yeah it's me! XD I've been meaning to get into uploading stuff but I just never figured out what I really wanted to create content wise :) And thank you!! \m/

[@TheKrou]

I love the random edits like the one at 9:10. Those effects are hilarious!

[@lilianagomez6679]

Batman VS The Joker

[@busterblue78]

Quite possibly the most tenuous and random video ever!! 😁 Enjoyable just to watch you 2 clown around for half an hour! I really thought you would go for an orange Orange Rob because of the Rebellion pilots flight suits!! That HW Tint Terror is immense though!

[@JackBealeGuitar]

Let's not get upset about how we English pronounce place names, Leicester, Birmingham, Bicester and for any one who lives in West Dorset: Puncknowle (punnel) WTF?!

[@whitefantom]

I was about to make a similar comment. If "Mary-Land" is "proper English," then let's just make it fair across the board: "Chis-Wick," "Lie-Caster," "Birming-Ham," "War-Wick," "Glow-Cester," "Wor-Cester." That's fair, right? :-P

[@_okstay_]

Your videos are so great and fun to watch that every time I see something new on your channel I feel like I'm meeting with my good old friends)

[@lassea]

Darth Vader uses PRS but the emperor uses theremin for the unlimited power.

[@tomcrisp261]

hearing lee mention the flaw in the deathstar after rogue one is great

[@AlexH4774]

These jams are starting to sound the same

[@brettmarlar4154]

Rob you passed up on an amazing blue PRS in the room where the Djenty shredder was playing. Dark blue is still a Jedi color. If I were Lee, I would've chosen an Ibanez or even a Schecter as they are just BRIMMING with Darkside power.

[@benhort5559]

"If this guitar was a movie, jar jar wouldn't be in it" Best quote of all time

[@JackedLobster]

Fun time, guys. I love the rig building videos.

[@eugeneroman1]

I know I'm wayyy late on this game, but I've recently become a fan of your channel as I've been bitten by the guitar bug again. My suggestion for a movie based shootout would be Close Encounters of the Third Kind, remember the aliens communicated with sound, so we should have the aliens jamming and the humans fighting back soniclly . Intergalactic sound wars! Keep up the great work and videos please ( love the light saber sound Rob )

[@RandomActsofGibberish]

Chappers, you're a nerd of the highest order! Love it!

[@traceyshaw3412]

That was cool of rob to complement that guy , he must have made his day 🤘🏻

"I only want to pick one from a good film." You have no idea how much we agree!

[@katlynebartolo1801]

I'd love to see a challenge of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". This was fantastic!

[@charlescampbell5894]

I keep coming back just to see that beautiful PRS

[@JamesPery]

I can just watch you guys bro it up all day and its actually dope! and hilarious.

[@dpmvolare]

I swear you guys could make a rubber band, and a dowel sound good. Oh, and James, if "The Chapman" says you should be in a band, you should be in a band

[@Zacky703]

I have been waiting for this all my life. I got my chiSP (esp copy) black with red inlays because darth Vader. Best. Video. Ever.

[@Benjiroyoface]

That Nice Side of Darth Vader ballad was absolutely beautiful

[@maeb9131]

I love the editing on these videos

[@jmkmusicpedals]

Vela. Nice choice. In my Chappers Rig Competition, I'm using one too ... but it's from the DARK SIDE.
