Vintage valve amp shootout with Barrie Cadogan (Little Barrie) and James Walbourne (The Pretenders)

[@brandonkennedy9974]

Anything with Barrie Cadogan is an immediate clear the schedule and sit back kind of thing.

[@Paul-D]

same haha

[@JM_Welch]

100%

[@terencestephenmoss2159]

Brilliant guitarist

[@ryangunwitch-black]

As an American, I feel robbed because I’ve only just heard of Barrie like a year ago when he did the video playing Rory’s gear. I’m into it, man.

[@majortwang]

And James no slouch

[@h.m.1101]

We need an album of these two men. ❤

[@roughcutguitars]

Yes. Yes, we do.

[@JamesVytas]

Great match of guitarists. They play so well together.

[@bigsby19]

Barrie just oozes class whenever he plays. Simply love his chops.

[@IanEastonOfficial]

Cue every guitarist learning every run used here. Superb as always from Barrie, and what a player James is.

[@nonolaporte3195]

The rig I would take to a desert island would be Barri'es 330, with Barrie's Bassman, and Barrie Cadogan to play them for me.

[@folb7247]

I would rather watch Barrie tune his guitar than listen to many more famous players - he has soul in those fingers

[@richardlawrence216]

Best thing on KZbin ,sounds awesome ,real music and amps,cool guitars. Great shop .

[@musicproductionvideos5019]

Wow. Would love a whole album of these 2 guys playing together.

[@robert-wr6md]

Needs a drummer, dare I say it. Throw in a bass player whilst your at it.

[@musicproductionvideos5019]

@@robert-wr6md and water is wet.

[@robert-wr6md]

@@musicproductionvideos5019 Glad you agree.

[@robert-wr6md]

@@musicproductionvideos5019 Fun fact: "Wet water" is the opposite of an oxymoron - called a pleonasm.

[@p.t7495]

That was something else, I’d certainly add this my playlist well done guys .👏🏾👍🏾

[@jonpardoe]

"Tubescreamer...:". Then it went to an advert! Thought I could not love Barrie more than I already did 😁 Absolutely brilliant video, thanks to all involved.

[@greenbrightly]

Barrie has so much soul and groove it’s ridiculous. James plays like the devil himself. This is amazing - one of the finest demo videos I’ve ever seen. ❤

[@CradleRawk]

What a great video! Great gear, beautiful playing, and three splendid chaps. Bravo to the Guitarist team

[@bleeknoir]

Barrie is such a vibe. I always enjoy his playing.

[@YeatzeeGuitar]

Jeez what phenomenal players, best 2 guitar player jams I've heard in years

[@GraniteSoundtrack]

Second jam on tremolo was great as well!

[@DarwinRuckleshaus8408]

Loved that, best thing I’ve watched in ages

[@samrose1362]

Barrie is just fantastic on the guitar, first time coming across James but he can equally hold his own and then some! Enjoyed every second of this!! Some good gear porn

[@Paul-D]

Anything with Barrie Codogan is an instant click, anything with Barrie Codagan on Peter Green/Danny Kirwan is an instant week off to study haha

[@adamkrauss303]

Wowza! Love this series. Keep it up. And I hope you could hear/feel me hooting, hollering and clapping when each of those jams concluded. Such great playing and amazing sense of staying within the “retro” genres that showed off the amps in context. And it was fantastic to watch you guys played off each other so well. Add a bassist and drummer and give me an album, instrumental is fine- but I’d buy it if it’s just you two noodling. Cheers.

[@aiddd11]

Barrie Cadogan is always awesome and I’ve seen James live with his band His Lordship, they are brilliant

[@stevemorano9317]

Just Amazing 🤩🎸 players

[@markrefoy]

Fantastic players, awesome viby guitars, classy amps 👍👌

[@Les537]

Great sounds, great gear, great playing. Loved it.

[@ldf399]

That intro was killer.

[@mickrinaldiofficial979]

2 amazing guitarists ,classic sounds

[@thesmokinggun8674]

I could watch this dude play for days!

[@trevorclarey3336]

Great playing ..............

[@neilbobherd3685]

ooh, an unexpected treat distracting me from what I'm meant to be doing! - thanks chaps 😆

[@Andrew-wb2zq]

love that opening jam

[@martinfletcher8275]

just how good is this hey!!

[@starshineraiser6729]

This is the best thing I’ve ever seen.

[@majortwang]

The tremolo jam was brilliant

[@beezersurf]

Wow, what talent! Amazing.

[@crabejoss]

Wow two great players there. But the yellow harmony (some kind of Jupiter variation) won the race.

[@budrizzo8167]

Some cool vintage sounds. I use to have one of those Ampeg amps and s Jazzmaster many years ago.

[@dadudezpr]

Best jam ever 😮

[@bgdempsey]

awesome

[@lightningrt434]

Fabulous. That Need Your Love So Bad jam at the end!

[@johanhofstedt7317]

Great playing!!!!!!!!!!

[@RUBBERTANK_3]

Bloody hell! James! It's wayne from fortismere, ello!

[@marksahagian7226]

Love my old Gibson Falcon amp.

[@meltedwheeliebin]

First saw James play in the late nineties with Peter Bruntnell at a Gram Parsons tribute night. He must have been quite young at the time. His playing was awesome

[@ryangunwitch-black]

How many times am I gonna watch this thing 😂❤

[@tomusic8887]

Thats some great playing! I do always miss the bass, when 2 guitars are jamming, would just make it sound better ❤

[@pjorr3914]

This Was Really Good

[@garysmith2983]

Great stuff. I’ll definitely be stealing some runs and licks from this.

[@GraniteSoundtrack]

A peg and fender jam was great as well!

[@GraniteSoundtrack]

Intro jam was great!

[@GCKelloch]

Oh, I had an Ampeg like that in the 70s. It was badly in need of repair, but it worked. Wish I had known it was worth getting fixed at the tender age of 12. AFAIK, Ampegs have Baxandall shelving tone stack. That would explain the midrange rasp.

[@GraniteSoundtrack]

Last jam was also great!

[@piggycity]

Great video

[@matthewcollett4181]

God damn….what playing!

[@11000038]

Those guitars and amp sound fantastic. If it was me playing them they'd sound dreadful! Great playing guys.

[@michaelsicowitz362]

I had that old Gibson amp, maybe 75-82. The tremolo bled into the volume. Imagine an amp where the trem adds volume, the reverb too. It was a great soup on ten. Great speaker in there too. Of course, totally an idiot to ever sell it. Regret that as much as any on a long list. Don't ever tell me modeling can do that. Overlooked: pre-CBS Pro Reverb, amazing

[@fossilmatic]

Real musicians.

[@baabaabaa-El]

Not at that price.. NO!! Lovely jammin and tones lads.

[@colinparks619]

Nice, need a sound city Concord on there, fender twin killer

[@matthewcasey4795]

That ampeg sounds amazing. Both players complimented each other too.

[@ryangunwitch-black]

Here I am again. ❤

[@o.r.grinter7763]

Little Barrie is all class

[@neilgaydon5430]

I’m sorry, no digital amp modelling gets remotely close. A masterclass in jamming.

[@leonardgould6657]

Neil Gaydon!, Ha!, Ha! -exactly right, mate!, - this is THE sound! -That's as bang-on the money as a HEART ❤️ ATTACK! - I'd like to hear them plugged in w/ NEWFOUNDLAND SWING!, CHRISTOPHER DOYLE!, & his "Great Big Sea" band in St. John's!, 👍 👌 locked, locked in step with Russell Crowe & a couple of his Aussie string demons!, 😈 That's music, chaps!

[@MrPinkStrat]

Wow an Old Roy Smeck Harmoney Guitar

[@what1864]

that slivertone fits barrie like a glove ...

[@starshineraiser6729]

Tube Screamer gets so much hate and I absolutely love them, 8 or 9. I’ve got a magical TS9 that sounds great at any setting. With the gain at zero, it’s one of the greatest clean preamps I’ve ever played.

[@mtbmadman011]

NICE AND GREASY BOYZ...

[@MrSwill70]

And what's gonna be the name of this new band?

[@simonrobson5844]

What guitar is James playing ? Anyone know ?

[@ryangunwitch-black]

Why aren’t these fellaz in every other issue of the magazine?!

[@stratfan]

How do you give multiple thumbs up? 👍👍👍👍👍

[@majortwang]

Nice bite

[@smiragnusbrowne4867]

kick ass

[@johnwillard6198]

Couldn’t hear much but Gibson when they played together

[@djh6970]

Interesting, James is a foot tapper and Barrie’s feet don’t move a muscle

[@650thunderbird]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@user-rr3sh3yn6v]

I wish James would lay back...

Ha ha, why be pro when you can be semi pro.

[@teddyboy9116]

Who needs loudmouth American session players ay! This is how it's done

[@leonardgould6657]

Ha!, Ha! YOU'VE got it mate! This is "loaded" music! Loaded with soul! Mesh this with a little Newfoundland "High-Seas Swing" and throw in a dash of Aussie outback "didgeree-do"!, snd it's "BACK-TO-THE-FUTURE", lads! Yankees need not apply!
