[Music] you [Music] you [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey guys welcome back to Anderson's TV thanks for joining us again my special guest today on this very special edition of the captain meets is a young man possibly from Denmark some say from Holland who started playing the guitar when he was 10 years old in a small place called ute land or near Euclid anyway he took to that guitar went on to study at music college and became possibly one of the finest guitar players of his generation so please put your hands together for the wonderful thank you thank you thank you no wait people have been asking you to do this captain meets I know about three years now you've been dodging and ducking and diving yeah we've tied you down we're doing it now yeah it literally could just got out in the door but in the morning and just got come on sit down we're doing this put this on and let's get this done so come on your honor basically a fairly normal you know learn to play guitar all right lots of other people took it seriously got the music I think moved out went to Copenhagen yeah sort of you know theme for the scene yep do it name seventeen years easy things and then it was it it all since I mean Oh since I was thirty is it's all come like boom boom boom jobs and gigs and meeting people it's all happened like this quite quickly from having the first gig at 13 to getting in another band to moving to Copenhagen to to go to this place and jam every Monday night to meet more people to get you know to play with bigger Danis artist to do festivals to meet you know basically all of this took me to meet Gary Wallace I was little Skippy pretty quick you know there's been a lot of Dainius artists Julie c21 DJ encore which is it all it's funny how it all connects when you're thinking back to to the whole you know how everything happens for a reason yeah and every time you say yes to something and no to something that has just led to other butterflies yeah and for a Danish / Dutch / guy who the Daley's way from didn't speak I don't know what language do you speak in Denmark Danes Pete get that a lot yeah there might be somewhere underneath so just where is Danish Pete from yeah is this such a regular you know you do is in the name it's just what language do you speak holiday speak anyway you guys might just some of you good no no how school is there where you are but anyway so I met through all this stuff in Copenhagen Gary Wallace which is the drummer who was played with Pink Floyd and loads of people for a long time and he basically he was working with one of the guys from aqua at the time Rene DIF who was doing a solo album and I knew his tour manager manager and he said can you go Gary needs a guitar player there's no money in it and that's another thing with there's no money in it yes I can did some stuff with Gary said give me a call if you ever need a guitar player in the UAE are there any YouTube clips anywhere of you playing on stage with that we're doing I'm a Barbie girl I never did I never did I never did aqua I never did no one ever did it I knew the people Gary did it right right and it was just the year before we met so if we'd met like a year earlier I probably would have done then I'm touring now again and all that like oh how can I like can I please do that because that would have been really fun I like to do that elected dude yeah so so Gary Wallace yeah who even I've heard of and I haven't heard of many drummers and he's actually Utley he's been very successful very generally sort of working as sort of the MD for that kind of puts the bands together yeah Emily's a musical director you know he was like 17 when he got in too lazy to Pink Floyd and toured with them you know and the stories he's told pretty cool from being the back biggest one of the biggest rock bands in the 80s just being a teenager could sound a thunder the big gig they did on YouTube and Gary Wallace is just like he sits in this it's like a cage isn't it just like a thousand different percussion and drums stuff yeah and you got jumping up yeah not Mason little just playing the like the real super steady backbeat through Pink Floyd songs and Gary Wie's going like absolutely completely in this case and everything he possibly can anything you know I work with him he still had the biggest drum kit you know it was his drum kit is the size of this room anyway we're playing like pop songs you know and haven't gone and sing behind it also stuff it very very impressive anyway so he I said to him amen you know there was thank you for having me on up to do some stuff yeah if you need a guitar player at some point give me a call and he did and I was yeah I'm like standing somewhere in a in in your venue in in Denmark you know small like the boiler room whatever doing a McDonald tribute band like trying to put my gear up and phone rings since Gary hey man you know you're doing I'm doing this Madonna do you wanna come and do a gig with me in the UK story I don't know but it okay what is it that no it's it's chunk Jones to the Brit Awards 2003 Brit Awards smokey just a small kick but I'm doing you know how is this even possible I've done somebody at this point I've sort of worked with some done some festivals and all sort of stuff with some some of the big artists in Denmark you know not didn't work it's very small drive up to a gig and you drive back again then yes that's kinda if you stay overnight it's like we're gonna stay no jail overnight you know it was that then anyway I think maybe people do it more now so he called I went to the airport pick my ticket out had a couple of guitars with me and went to music Bank you know and somebody who hasn't seen the scale of a proper gig yeah cuz then it becomes all of a sudden you step it's just everything steps up you know a music bank it's just crazy place where all the big stars were so you won't get I walked in and it's like this huge personal space so what kind of advice thing would you give to a guitar player who is fortunate enough to get that first opportunity if you only like technical advice or just like relationship advice technically you know I they asked me what I wanted and I was like I'll just have an amp and bring two or three pedals and you know and you you I think I wasn't really prepared because for the scale of it you know but but it's all really down-to-earth but I think the main thing is that you can that you are cool dude and you can hang out and you can you know your article days well in a very trying to man that's half as good time this morning and wasn't it but it's it's it's night 80% of it that you can get on with people you know like it and I think that whole thing that me and Gary got along really well and then that band I got along with them and you know that that just led to you know we did pretty water man you you're you're there and there's all of these superstar sailors like every hundred of celebrities there and big-name musicians and our actors and all kinds of and this is isolated from me going just straight how do you know it's 2003 so probably like 20 I don't know what I'm gonna 200 before it's funny early 20s 24 24 okay say yeah yeah yeah I lift you know moved out when I was 17 you know I've always wanted to you know I'm not you know stay with my powerful to work I mean when I think of Tom Jones his band I always think that you know he tends to pick guys that a bit older was it were you were you very young yeah we didn't I didn't that was just the one off rifle so that wasn't his like normal bands no it wasn't as some of the guys was his in his normal band and there was the band at that time but I think Gary just thought that it would be really cool to get me on board for some reason what was the fuss for me was the first thing Tom Jones said she knows Italy when he walked up and you man uh he I think he was he was late and they they couldn't get him out his room and there was you know ya think he'd had a party or something but he was like oh you don't do that boy I've heard about from Copenhagen like yeah yeah and this is the time where he he sought a legend man he's such an awesome cool dude that you know the guy you want to be your dad are you granddad he's but this is the time where you know where the hair was all died and the chest hair was all died and you know it's one of those I'm just gonna go out disgraceful I'm totally absolutely but and he just walked up then they had you know it was some beers and it was it was really cool and we just chatted about Copenhagen and and so literally the presumably you're backstage or whatever and they could see you know I don't think there would have been other artists going on before you and then right we're on yeah like I mean obviously it's live in front of the audience but it's live on TV as well I think yeah yeah I think it's sort of pre-recorded kind of thing but it is what is going through your it's like he won like an achievement Lifetime Achievement Award so it was quite a big thing in the end you know and you just scared that you're gonna mess it up and got the song in the wrong yeah yeah all of that stuff you know I remember us doing the doing it's not unusual and you know we're playing it in be a b-flat can't remember which one we did it but and and rehearse the talk I mean go oh my thoughts a bit so you know and can we can we just move it down like you know I know or whatever and and everybody's like okay fine you know or the brass sex and everything in the process you know sister yes saying yeah like five piece brass when I go wow it's so loud it's just the loudest thing ever percussion like Jodi Lynn Scott and I mean the top of the game yeah people write and we like okay well we'll play it you know we'll throw it down you know a note there for you some and we all started playing you know instead of instead of playing yeah we put and then he started singing but he's just sang it in the original key and then here's my stop stop stop I can't I don't worry about it I'm an artist singing already the key I've sung it for like 50 years I can't leave my cut there's no way I can even try to breathe to go so you crazy the guys awesome so you finished that gig presumably on some like crazy adrenaline high I had a whole cheese home in the plane the whole realities from the Brit Awards when we all left at like 3 o'clock in the morning whatever there was all this food out there was a but I stood and I know this is teaser like do you wanna cheer I'm picking out the whole wheel of cheese we're having the overhead my dreams that I added in the plane under way back home yes so so like next day you know long goes off and you get up you're thinking up like a whole night now not in Tom Jones is band anymore you know like what yes max was 2003 right so this is after you know it got back a few things and doing you know my gigs and then Gary's call again said you know I've got this tour with will just go back do you want to come and do it and that was Tom and kid'n Atomic Kitten Atomic Kitten no mom everybody knows all of those songs you know but they which one was your favorite at the three oh god the three our songs that was really fun and again that was so that was then my first like problem touring was kerry Katona in that band no that was after i was after was enough jenny jenny was so sure she wasn't that bad she was left it was I mean when I came on cuz I sort of didn't like me apparently she left the band because I'm caught no there's no so so anyway so this is an inverse it's my first tour right this is with like dancers and a tour bus and hotel rooms and you know Wembley Arena and the M en we had a couple of gigs before which was like one of escapes with with Gary call up and and we there's this for four of us Toby Chris Gary and me and the we get our drums keys face yeah Chris was playing like a keytar and a lot of this stuff because he's more piano player but because they knew all each other for muck was they dig or oleic of stuff and I sort of came in a stinky top layer and we basically did we did all of those tours together that I've done you know it's been like a little you put all you that's one other thing put all the eggs in one basket anyway so yeah that was that was good fun too so and you like going I'm gonna play when do you mean if I say and say and say how did that happen you know so what is the difference then between playing in a club where you've got your back line behind you and you can just turn around turn your amp up if you want or in your few pedal or whatever it is yeah and being on stage it's the same thing with the arena I mean that you know there's an interaction and there's a lot of people and they all scream you know you know we did we played blue we played this one-off gigs with blue and loss of only you know British Liberty ex and all of these in one big tears play with steps and of nothing they might be up in there it was like they were all green they were like all there and this one gig we did and it was so loud I've never heard I mean the audience renewing I mean it's cool screaming and I'm looking over going guys like counting into two a blue song and you're just going I don't I can't hit I don't know what's happening it's that sort of thing you know so just to not bet is the sound on stage really different and disconcerting because there's a lot of noise from the audience you know and and it's it's just you know this was we didn't have in years because it was like a it was like a runnin but then we of course used in years afterwards and then then it's just it's you have to get used to having click in your ears you know was the thing I didn't do where you just have to play along to a click and everybody has to play along today to the click while they're playing with each other you know I mean yeah why would you so why don't they just allow the the drummer - why don't you just play along to the drummer I know what some people do I like I have I like to lock into the click and the drums at the same time I've gotten mostly I would have mostly like drums and click in my mix yeah because then I know I can log into that yeah you know what's there ever a feeling that I mean and again this I'm maybe I'm asking this question a bit early because I know you went on to do lots of other pop stuff but was there ever a sort of a feeling of like you know maybe one day get to play music that I like or did you or did you like it alright I mean I've always I think from day one you know being picking the guitar for the first time and somebody showed me you know a friend of the family show me like these four calls it was just about playing the guitar really right and all the other stuff for me was sort of second if I play it in a in a bar in front of ten people it's just as good as playing guitar yes it's cool to play in front of 20,000 people 150,000 people yeah it's just it's an amazing it's a cool it's an amazing experience to play in a stadium you know it you know it's it's it's ridiculous yeah and you know I'm very very lucky that I got to do it I've done it but I mean this not really the connection goes a little bit with the music and with the band yeah it's you have to concentrate more on because the bass player will be 25 meters over that way yeah you know on a stage that's not far it's debatable actually it is so kind of you really have to you know you really have to you know it because it yeah once you do a job any job I think it just becomes the job isn't it so that was our manner sound so well now I thought too cuz it and we'll I'm gonna ask you about like you know like what are the highlights are doing this but yeah so your touring life from 2003 for yeah three or four that's when it's then is when you're kicking off with it well then you were relatively permanently employed yeah through which bands now see so the kiddin first yeah and then it was it was Girls Aloud yeah in 2005 when I met Chloe and then it was who's makeup artist do you tell girls are now smart no well see you Carlos other Mary secret married the sixth member of girls Aloud the right choice and then 2005-2006 I had a I had a sort of a year where I was asked to do Hilde bow and but that was I've had my own thing going I was writing with a couple of my friends in Copenhagen we had set up a studio movie doing commercials and we were doing our own band Peter max what you can't find anywhere and if you can then please put the links in especially when we're just riding on a song everyone like competition on the radio and we did a couple of singles on the radio and now it's good fun but I never really led to anything and we wrote for some Danish artist as well and then the two guys unfortunately fell out a little bit and then I decided to move to the UK in 2006 and then 2007 was Bill Devo so I'm sort of working in a pizza place over here in the UK because I just wanted to go and do just I wanted to go to speed with Chloe you know I'm loving it so you are just like a waiter in its I worked as a waist in a pizza bar you made a way on Nazareth where you see an artery 350 an hour you know you guys doesn't it be grateful guys when you get more so so anyway so I did I did that and then because I turned a turned and leave I said Olivo is not really my thing is a lot of nylon string guitar and mythix ever really done any of that stuff and I have my own thing going on then the Gary called me back again and was like you could do this and they were all like you should do it it's all fun you should play there's no problem you know and I'm like sure like you can it's fine so I was like okay and I didn't have any money and it was all a bit you know I even got a job in the Apple store and read in the street and which I never went to because then the olivo tour came through everything everything happens in kind of a happens for a reason you know everything happens and then you go with it so like okay Kuala Lumpur fly the records Kuala Lumpur rehearse for like three weeks all this sort of nylon string guitar where you have a click and you're playing some complicated nylon string guitar while they're singing and nothing else is happening but if you are done if you don't stay to the click they don't have to click the singers don't have to click they just have a guitar so and and then you will have a symphony orchestra on backing tracks so if you mess it off at any point that'll come in but nothing else it's just you on a guitar singers and then there'll be strings and stuff on the backing track sort of pressure there's a pressure I mean you know just I could look at my hair now I can - memory I remember that pressure of some of those once you've done it a hundred times and that was a world tour and that's my first world tour and that was just an amazing experience to travel around and you know see South America and you know Asia and just this is crazy you know who gets opportunity to do these things Europe UK like hundred gigs I don't know big all arena tour yeah that's crazy yeah and then after el Divo just really then it was Westlife you live me yeah it was Westlife for four tour the UK tour we did Croke Park there's definitely some Croke Park but videos on YouTube from 2000 and that's the greatest enormous venue in Ireland isn't it is it Dublin yeah it's a stadium up there which you know it's human now we'll play like seven now sold out that holds over a hundred thousand people I think it was 1990 now but when you are there is there is a picture of me Andrew my guitar tech took of me when I'm like doing a standing up like doing some kind of solo in the spotlight and this is like these people and you know back there going you know it didn't feel like that on the day you know cuz see this gets it a little bit removed from you must be yeah but it's it's amazing it's amazing and it's all coming back now we're talking about it because you know it and again from that look for that guy that was like 13 doing a gig in one some of his friends his dad's friends garden yeah at this little hippie festival when he was 13 playing the solo as a smoke on the water and hitting his first ds1 pedal and going yeah and all those two liability done a bit you know because you don't want to be too loud to doing that and never really you know going to the music school and should have practiced more you know I mean there's lots of things and but it's from the moment I chose that guitar route I've had little jobs here in there but it's just been guitar and it's still this guitar and it's really I'm really lucky about that well anyway you are lucky I'm reading lucky so and then so then what was that sweat like eight Westlife and then then then some Jones started they they were like because Gary had played with him before back in the 90s and yeah and they wanted to get that whole thing back again they wanted to change the band over and then they were like can we get you guys I mean yeah I don't know if anything's behind me so we did we did that and that was again you know going to rehearsal a music Bank and I remember Robbie Williams was was playing they were rehearsing in the other room there's like and Carver sill that drummer he came out and there's a big sort of terrace and going coming over going man it's you guys he did the that you did that goes allowed a video I watched a hundred times one of the coolest like just like video no but we did the live now I see which is probably also on an unjust a Love Machine or something maybe well we do they can't believe how many of these like terrible pop songs that I can keep remembering but but that's my as I Chloe did their makeup on all those videos so good for you men so anyway so that's so so the time Jones tour was pretty crazy epic that wasn't it tell us about you know Vegas and some of the other highlights of the Tommy yeah it was pretty cool I mean we did you know like a UK tour and then there was we went to Las Vegas twice so at the beginning of the of the world of the world tour craziest thing this Danish dude getting to do all the stuff this is hallowed sorry so you know you we started off going to Las Vegas and playing like 18 nights in a row in the Hollywood Theater in the in Grand Hotel where you just see this in the movies this is what this is the place that you see in the films you know and there you are playing with Tom Jones in the Hollywood Theater that's going out of how does this happen what's going on you know but that was hard work man playing playing 18 nights every night yeah and I remember after night night 6 and we sitting there going oh my god this is we still got like 12 things to go and Tom's like when I used to do this twice a day like for months on end and he would just have no no have some stop and then we're going to do a matinee and then whatever incredible he's an incredible you know and I've never heard him complain one time in all of these gigs like he gets himself on these planes he had Dom that was this at the time his sort of sistent to like whitehead really tan gentleman walking through the airport you know with their luggage just never I've never heard any moaning or complaining or just just happy I'm just he was like I'm just happy to sing that's just what I wanted to do and I don't want to sit at home and it's incredible but once you get that mentality that you know the whole thing about oh I could do I could do that I'm much better than him and all this stuff like you know what you're luckily doing this and you could be working it you know not that it's bad doing a working in a normal job but you know you're you luck we're lucky that we get to play guitar for living in and I think a lot of these some of us that's gonna sound like a like I'm gonna sound like a dick well it's like a lot of artists you just go you know what I'm really grateful that I can sing for leaving or or play musical instrument for living there's a lot of moaning going on you know I'm I've done it I've been there you know yeah I never I do man once I don't think no you can't forget actually uh you know I'm lucky we actually are especially when you on a tour so I mean that obviously you know we've kind of that's a ten-year or chunk of your life yeah and and I'd love to you know I think it would be fun to go you know what what was the highlight of that but but then after that as well you know what was it that did ultimately get you down about it and maybe even things you wish you'd done differently here in that time and ultimately made you decide that you didn't wanna tour anymore but listen to stay on that on the high for the time being on the heart was the you know what is the moment that you know if and when you have grandchildren you'll go coming let me tell you a story let me tell you about the time working it's working here that I get that sometimes I get recognized in esta you know yes that's the highlight it's amazing how about that happens anyway so I mean that we did this tour in Germany with feeling a Fisher which was the last tour did and that was a stadium tour like a proper stadium to and see you know although you know you can see Scott is he's got that sort of James Blunt vibe about the music that people don't want to admit that they like it right do you know that kind of I love James Blunt yes I'd like it as well but people would go you know they go oh I don't like it and then they get the rate it comes on a radio in the car now I turn it up no go yeah and I think Alan officious got that thing but everyone sees like the German Katy Perry nobody knows what years but over there sees the biggest hero you know see nobody over here she's huge and and we did a stadium tour I mean playing two nights in the Olympic Berlin Olympic Stadium and I think because I've done few stadiums but not like a tour so I'm spitting and that was that is that was incredible playing like Munich the Munich open Stadium yeah with the Sun setting in the background and it's just like you know 70,000 people and the Sun is setting boom down there the sky is burning you know and you just you just Lister people those kind of memories are just insane and you get to go and do a a soul on purple rain or whatever you do the pouring rain covers would she well we did one come member that was inside outside but we did definitely do like a metal II and in the middling was the purple rain were you standing playing purple Rana thinking sorry Prince I'm sorry sorry I'm sorry but you know there is there is those moments playing you know just playing sex-bomb with some Jones Corinthians where you've played it a thousand times at a wedding or some even really and all of a sudden you just get there their voice and you go okay yeah you wake up and go wow this is just amazing yeah there's but I mean most of it actually is just highlights yeah because they really what it's bad about doing that I don't know I've never been there but I can imagine it's really I'm really lucky that I've got to that point that asset though I have met musicians and maybe this takes us on to the next bit you know about that what would you have perhaps done differently and yeah and why did you stop doing it ultimately you know that it does grind them down a bit and and it's hard when it does just become a job and like any job if you kind of you know it's easy to start resenting it and wishing that you know you do something different but but what I mean you wash you wash your you know your a day you pack for three weeks but you're away for three months at one point you're washing all your underwear and your socks and you're hanging it up in some really plus five star hotel room somewhere because it's all really expensive you know you buy one glass of wine like 17 quid but you're staying at the Four Seasons in Hong Kong yeah I mean and you and you and and it's if you don't have any dependents and you're making a bit of money out of it then it's fine but are you still like you're going Jesus oh you know what's happening because you gotta the first two three weeks it's always fun and anybody go sorry you have good time you know you have some drinks and go for dinner and then it also becomes everyday yeah and you want your own time because you are with the same people for seven months or a year you know you have to get on b-boys what do you think during that time was the was the the one thing all that the things that you just think you know what I wish I'd done this different I mean I I don't I don't wish that I've done anything differently I'm really you know I I've got this sort of I don't know if it's a philosophy but when when you say yes it's something and something happens it'll for a reason and if there's a path that will take take you and if you say there then it splits and then you go that way and then oh that's close so then you go that way so everything but uh you know having having kids having children and having three of them and having two of them really really quickly in quick succession for ten and a half months between my oldest girls and having Chloe at home looking after them which is amazing sees there's been amazing because literally me going away having a child and then going away you know is I all of that has was there but because she came from the same background she understands that that's what we have to do that's our thing not just the money but also because it's just the thing that you it's just you you know yeah but that probably was what ultimate me let me to go I just need to rein it in after twelve thirteen years you know in being in in Dusseldorf in a hotel and watching my third girl get born on FaceTime at like 11 o'clock at night and just one when that was done just go okay I guess I'll see you in you know three weeks or whatever and then just going click off and then you sit there you know tell room all on your own thinking what am i doing what are you doing man like what are you doing yeah that again yeah no I know that's that that is anyone with kids yeah we're later and that's why there's a lot of broken relationships on on you know on tour like I get it in the music world there is a lot cuz it's you don't see each other for a long time you know it's the the the what do you call it if you you know that you miss people absence makes the heart grow fonder as well but it's really difficult to we've been really good we're really good at it and not seeing each other for but you know but it's it's you know that totally every day and all that stuff but still it's that's I think that was eventually just let me to when I sort of stopped a little bit and there was a few things that didn't happen and it was okay that it didn't happen yeah the tour's really because I got to stay home the good thing about being a touring musician assessing guy whatever is that you get to spend time at home like three months with your kids yeah but the bad thing is you don't make any money in that time so all the money that you save dr. pray to the taxman it goes to this period of time and then you go and then this acts might come she goes OH that money that I need now can I have that you go oh no I spend it because I'm work for six months that's also a really bad thing yeah that that is you know that's got me into trouble you know and that's one of the advice that I give to people when they when they messaged me on Facebook or something I'm what shall I do when I want to be assessing me Jay so I'm like go for it do it you know it can be incredible you you have to be there's to be some sort of lock solved and because you have to be in the right place at the right time but my advice is put 40 percent away to the taxman I have you said to Chris as well that's like you are the gigs that is not where you don't pay a normal tax on it you have and that's that's coming from someone who knows yes and I'm not the only one that gets out your knob like that no day no you know lots of self-employed musicians let you say it's feast and famine isn't it lots of money there a period of time then no money yeah and your ways you know you're kind of a way for eight months and you kind of you forget because you you're in a bubble you know you in this bubble this Torah bubble with these people and you're with every day and you you get into a bus and you go on a plane you know you do 50 60 70 flights in a year and you know yeah that's all you're doing and you just forget that actually there is yeah something that you need to you need to pay the rent you need to make sure the you know so obviously you know that the story post the Helene Fischer thing is you know we've talked about before you know you you were I met Pete when he was doing some work for a company that distributes products in this country and he would demonstrate and do training on Martin and bougie and well other brands like that yeah and then and then that didn't work out so well one day and and then Pete came work has been great you know we've got to know each other you know really really well over that time become really close friends and you know you guys can see there isn't there are lots of ways that you can make a living from the guitar for you know from you didn't have to be a touring I'll change you can demonstrate products yeah you can have YouTube things you can teach you can get all sorts it's really really changed a lot I mean I'd say I I told in the beginning when I started ending it in the me that probably been hanging in that when I started when I did my you know my music degree a yeah well when you get a piece of paper saying you are now a musician you're now good it's like it it's like getting a driver's license and going now you can drive because you can't you know you've got 24 hours and then go and drive into wine that's nothing yeah it's the same sort of thing you know so you have to get out there and and play as much as you can what was it saying I I can't remember it was lots of different ways to end up living yes and this exchange because when I first started I think YouTube wasn't around there wasn't any Facebook so there's no there's not a lot of the stuff that I did mmm it's not out there because there wasn't then you unless somebody actually paid you know 500 grand to make a DVD of this video to sell to their fans then there is some stuff there is much phone stuff and it was all phones were scrapping and now you can you know you can be you can have Instagram it's an amazing job there there's gonna be a little army of about a thousand people scouring the internet any clear yeah I mean Pete and or a playing the guitar somewhere yeah um there is a few I'll put some of my own YouTube channel it's funny closer so what you're never really covered sort of cover taught at the beginning of the video and perhaps the nice who were that that the guitarists that sort of inspired you and and if you could you know if you could have like one final hurrah tour who would it be with here I mean the inspirational thing I think we've talked about that before and I think we're probably gonna like once we finish this video why don't we mention that why didn't we talk about that because there is so much to talk about when when in the beginning when I grew up my mom and dad it was there was always music and it was always like Beatles and stones and let's settle in and Hendrix and dire straits and and it was loads of different music you know the minute work man that was you know ya actin from 11:00 no picnic there was all sorts of stuff and I I never you know there was Robin Ford and when I started it was all about the Jazz really where I wasn't that much into it but my teacher in the Ricoh who was like it was all bebop and Charlie Parker and stuff and then you kind of get forced a little bit to try to do that and I listen to Mike stone because he's grating oh yeah that's amazing but back in your hand you're going I yeah he's very good and all this stuff but it doesn't inspire so I know I've never sat down I think I've said this before never sit down and check something out like 100% unless I absolutely have to what I tend to do is just get inspired by people like John Mayer because we talk about him a lot or collapse and a BB King or Albert King or put it on on listen there we go how that's cool let me know what was that like hmm you know and then all that that this lick that art man in Sicily all that sort of stuff where you just get in spite it doesn't matter who it is you know because there's so many great players out there so who wouldn't be there if though if there was one if you're funneling strings right now and it came furnished they can be alive or dead and it was like yeah well they have to be Princeton isn't it it's how like to do prints but I'm not sure I could see myself indoors outfit he wants me to work that that would be the one with it I'm already and what do you have loved to have been in the the the revolution would that be the band you would have to work with I feel like well I just think I'd really that was that was yeah there is it is sick yeah and you know with Michael and there's so many there's so many amazing musicians out there and so many amazing bands but I would love that I mean if John Mayer would call a lot would be the second or third guitar player with him as well I wouldn't mind that or Clapton I mean this you just named it I mean there's leather but the one prints you think if I think that's a great job yeah Majan that and and it in his pomp imagine the kind of show that he to put on and you didn't and you'd have been wearing some gigantic sparkly birds it's gigantic platform really tight and massive glass is out like this with max banks on sand all in big Dutch football shirt just amazing so I mean we've got some guitars behind us which all belong to you or have belong to you at some stage or another I mean you've seen probably seen them mostly on on the you know on the show that I've you know that used to belong to me that was the one that's worse on on the Brit Award show so yeah let's just let you drop so this was the top this did some Tom Jones gigs yeah this one has done this one he has done all of the gigs in one form or another since 2004 that guitars been with me yeah and that will that has been on everything everything yeah three to five would you buy that three three five I got guitar on eBay when I really want to get on this Paul and I bought this first the historic came in of this guy and I didn't really like it unfortunately this was the 59 59 after trying one in Denmark sweet some when going this is the best guitar ever played I need one of these and I bought one just off eBay which was stupid so I didn't like it took it into Charlie Sanders and sold it for how much money it was ridiculous like 3000 Watts they paid for it and instead of getting the money I got the gold top yeah I got three three five and actually I bought this because when I did LD bow it was all on line sixth floor board you know first floor boards because they didn't want any stuff on stage and but and biscuits I had this guitar but it was not enough sustainment you know once this thing so I bought a Gibson that was great to play some big Symphony Rock nights in white satin' night nobody held up you know let's stuff and some massive sorrow that's out there as well a bit grainy footage but it's this out there this this this one is of course the of course it is that's the print one which I bought for like hundred quid of some guy off you know like quick list of whatever the same like gum tree or whatever yeah and I've had that since they're not really kicked it very much because it since I got it that needed to be set up the the doozies that you've had that was more of a Elena Fisher yeah I always be I've always loved these things and they're really really good cool guitars and they always play good they always sound good and they never need a setup you know they never need tweaking and they got this certain sound that I really like and they look cool yeah this and there's some good boys then there was a black strap oh yeah that's over but this this is this I got this and he's still got a Peppa Pig sticker on it have a look at that for the Peppa Pig tour I think one of the girls when they were like nobody knew you were doing years Oh addressed as George yeah [Laughter] so I got this in Las Vegas after going out and being there for that long period of time most of the guitars actually I've got some stickers on it somewhere now so tell us about the I mean obviously these guitars have been with you a little bit longer so did you know the tours with you but you're well it like the best guitar you've ever owned I mean it is called lighter this is yeah so anyway this came into the shop and somebody becoming one of the guys in this job went hey Pete you should check out that purple Tilly because we know you like prints you know do you have to try it and I just went in there picked it up I was like oh my god this is amazing I need to buy this so I like texted texted you can we sort something out texted Khloe like can I prefer this guitar it seems like yeah I'm going to sort something out and you like yeah well sort something out you know so I took a picture on put it on Instagram and it got so and you were like yeah let's let's sort something out I'm just in a meeting let's sort of that got sold literally got it while I was in the meeting so I had so I had to come and say to pee I'm really sorry but you know that power will tell you that you really like to sit inside a campaign yeah I was caught and then no and I remember what yeah then I remember the guys came I know that this guy he keep he buys themselves he he'll you know sometimes he brings stuff back in and I kept going like has he brought it back in yet has he brought it back in yet and they all kept going no no no but actually he did bring it back in but I didn't know and least took it you call Chloe like months months it must have been three or four months and at my birthday my 30th birthday and then the day is like are we got a present for you got this case in this when he says wait he's talking about Chloe and his girls I didn't buy him phrase 30-ish yeah um 30th 10th birthday so we so and I opened up the case and I went what the hell how did what and I just think there's some pictures of me opening up the case I'm like sitting in bed you know and that they they II got it for me for my birthday and that I'm never gonna sell this guitar cuz it's epic and now it's goddess sir it's the start of some telecast of regulations on me now even we now sell copies of the copy yeah okay yes rich is absolutely crazy yeah but it is an immensely good guitar hmm yeah so and that's this is just at the moment this is definitely the number one and I would sell probably all of these before selling this then I'll never sell this guitar this is very special it is very cool yeah it's very cool but that leads us nicely on I think to the sort of the the final segment of this video which is you've always been all your rigs even when you were touring part from your line six floor pod I'll be those segments I had a vet ahead as well oh did you yeah you've always been a guy that just wants a nice clean simple amplifier on stage two plugs and pedals yeah and you know you know you don't care whether it's got an effects loop or not it's just like it's just a few pedals straight in the front yeah you've had simple pedal rigs you've had pedal rigs where you've used a geek rig g2 so there are more pedals all that kind of stuff but it's always been the same kind of vibe hasn't it yeah a couple of different Drive II kind of I you know bit delay you don't really need much more than that to be honest yeah I mean I've done that you know the Jesus but II - and I've done the G system you know I've got helix all that sort of stuff and I always use and it's always great but I'm just going but but you're you know you're straight up kind of relatively clean admins and pedals it yeah exactly now that so tell us about the pedal journey because I kind of think it's interesting we're about to tell you about a pedal that Pete has designed in conjunction Adrian thought but thorpey effects but tell us about the sort of the journey of great Drive pedals that you've owned that you've sort of gone oh yeah so that when you come to designing your own when you're trying to get that yeah I mean it's always for me it's been like I think I used a lot of t-rex pedals in the beginning in the bimini cookin and and and and they've always been the merlot I was good because it was like you can blend the clean signal in with a dry signal and that was the they did this before all of the organic and the transparently and me all of this stuff was there and and now that's always been a the tone that I really liked that's sort of where you can almost hear the fingers on the strings underneath and the clean sort of signal through it and and so you know those kind of pedals have always appealed to me well it's not you can get all of that gain if you want to at a soaring lead solos yeah but you can also it's very responsive and that's this there's a lot of them out that are good but I thought we can do one better so I'm gonna I mean rather than me hold the pedal up now just while I'm talking we'll have like some beautiful close-ups of this pedal but you've got two sides to the pedal you hear a drive side and a boost side yeah and you've got some you know tonal controls and bass controls and stuff like that yeah later to adjust it again what's the is this like could you see yourself just having a this is the one drive pedal you need or would you still I could I mean I could do most of my kicks with that human coming and working here for the last three years been great and then and you kind of if you think you place so much stuff all the time you know and you sit and play a lot on your own and that seems to be a tendency out there at the moment that there's a lot of these there's not a lot of people in bands you know I mean you see all this great Instagram players but you never see them go and play in bands and I think that's you should do whoever's out there you need to find a band you know if you're 19 or 16 or 17 or 21 22 and you just sit on Instagram or YouTube can't get a band because that's when you really you will experience this a whole different thing that's why I'm having it so he attacked a cursor I mean maybe just take some through it's just yeah off on a tangent but so this pedal has got two sides it's got the drive side and it's got a both side this is not this is nothing like this is just defend around everything is I'm 12 o'clock with a bit of reverb so the booze has got a boost volume and it's got like a low switch and the way I've said it now [Music] it's more clean Bo so you go like without it it just gives Headroom and I love that to yoga pennies [Music] you [Music] so it's taking a it's taking a kind of a nice spender clean sound but maybe one that's just a little flap and it's just giving it makes it a hundred what kind of feeling right so it's giving it that it is that extra sort of headroom and the extra sort of yeah with that with that low swings in it that you know if you kind of just go [Music] so you can take it out as well if you're using a solar boost so people want that little bit of a mid scoop maybe telly like it yeah so [Music] [Applause] it's just it's just asked loads of stuff what's funny isn't it that the boost side is almost the the least impressive kind of or maybe impressive like is the wrong word it's the subtlest kind of thing but as always a sort of thing I know it's the side that I think the longer you've had that the first peddle a drink every learn what the more you sort of get excited more about the boost side and just how much it just adds in but something really really good the drive side I guess is what most people will yes I'm interested but you know that boost type would also work really well with any other drive metal you can have before after it so you can put another Drive before or afterwards I probably won't do like a tube screamer something to you know so the drive side is so clean net drive so the drive sides is very responsive or you can almost get a clean tone from it [Music] not that I wanted to beat your mailbox but you know so it's very when you when and this is us without it and with it I know the volume is up but I like to put the volume up so rather run it all the time put it have it as an all the time on thing [Music] some one of you going you've got the game there about one o'clock so God I've got no this is volume but what I'm sorry it's just eleven other content yeah so you can you can take the game down at nine o'clock for instance and then it'll and that's when you can use the booth yeah [Music] if you're using you know and still it will still do even with the gain at just nine o'clock hmm are you on the back Perry pick up so it's basically I mean we what we do when we when we used it Adrian is like he's really good at and all of this stuff with with with my Telecaster and with the hot rod deluxe and with a be 40 deluxe that kind of amp that's kind of how it is designed that's how it's designed to work you know I'm just gonna cuz I've got one at my feet as well and just going to show kind of with a humbucker how much more so if I if I put again my drive side of things down it yeah nine o'clock let's just see what we got a hard one so here's my place out and again with the vote with the game pretty low on here again if I picks off [Music] go then go on the back pick up [Music] twice you turn the game further down it's just like like like just on the line you know it's just got a little bit hasn't it but we've humbuckers even with the game right download it still got that and what I do like about this is that the boost side of it is before the drive side yes I'm booting into it yeah which has always been how I would use a boost yeah that's how I do that's why it's like that you know and I do love that sort of and if you if you turn the boost down now and just that yeah the level of the boost and they do the same thing it wouldn't miss it's not necessarily giving just with the boost no it's more fun so this is just the drive side yeah [Music] [Music] mmm really nice and fat I mean you could probably put a little bit more top and I think the amp is running a bit I like it yeah it's like it can do it almost do like a fuss thing if you did do the Lowe's oh really if they I thought P is kinda like a bit of a fuzz expert but this was yeah this was sort of a depart you know the first time he'd really Donna it's nothing like he's ever done yeah you know but if you do gain drive it about three yeah and then the lows all the way up [Music] [Music] it's almost horsey which you know it's a great blues tone then myself uh mid-drive blues time it's a good like more bass in there yeah that's how you put the low in yeah yeah but it would kick in a little too low so if you take the lows up when you boost it it'll go through the mix more which is always the problem that's why people use tube screech yes and get through this yes observe it so there's a lot there's a lot in it yeah and it's called to Dane it's called the Dane yeah as opposed to the Dutchman is the done dude and and it's purple so it's purple pedal handmade in the UK right now Adrian thought and his lovely wife Georgia yanked them all themselves yeah though its proper boutique II kind of stuff yeah all its Jessie's that's why I picked that because he makes something that looks different from anything else yeah you know yeah and it's more so now a smaller box than it was before so yeah I just made contact when the the veteran is yeah so the veteran is here's enough you can if I can do this down here I'd show you so it's been it's all been made much smaller mm can you see that if it's not done shiny regular 9 bolt right 9 volt yeah battery yeah I'm sorry Kenny there's a battery in this one yeah okay cool yeah I wasn't supposed to be a battery but if you want you can so these are 249 that you pay money including be 80 and free shipping in the UK and it's just going to be a regular pedal in the in the thorpey lineup put in the catalyst so it seemed like it the I'm proud of it look you don't have to worry too much about if it's going to take a couple of months to save up for that don't panic it's gonna be available there's an American retailer for it in riff City guitars which is cool in Europe it just Anderton's if you're somewhere else in the world check out the Andersons website has been maybe able to ship it to you there but what's the cool thing about the first 200 of which by the way I think 125 are in the UK and 75 have gone to America yeah what's cool about the first 200 well it's cool that I'm gonna sign them all and hopefully I'll do a secret little message since I'm on the inside of the outside inside so they sign on the inside and a little what a message the message I'll probably lick one of them so if you if you open it up and there's like little fungus growing on it that's because of liquor you've licked it yeah nice so what's the future then man what it what is left you know this is great I've been working here for three years now it's been really great and there's a lot of great things going on with this I'm just gonna keep doing this cuz I'm happy doing it so would you like me to stay with Anderton's for as long as possible making great videos and sexual guitar riffs I would I would too I mean I do my own thing don't I do my own little my own little stuff but that but that's you know that's just whenever I've got time to do it
