Boss Micro BR 80 - Portable Digital Recorder

[hto1971]

lol he keep asking him to do blues and he move to other things lol

[thelolguy007]

so is this Boss any good?

[chirpybee]

Alex is a great musician but... he appears to me to be slighlty Klingon?

[11CLIFFEE]

love alex's face at 6:06!!!

[craigtechno]

You guy's are so pretentious and ego driven you flag a valid opinion from someone else as spam to get it removed. Can't take fair criticism? Poor show, must be a reason for that. Don't cry.

[Sugarchristelle]

The Boss BR-80 has a dedicated "line in" socket. Line in being useful for recording direct from any external audio device. But when recording using the line in the INTERNAL MICS are also live! So any ambient noise will be picked up and recorded with your line in recording. Unbelieveable that they would do that! I e.mailed Boss UK and a Senior Product Specialist agreed there was no was of bypassing the mics & added "I hope to see the function added in a future update" That sucks.

[gennyvegeta]

Jack black has decided to give in with guitar ,cool...

[quinnsley123]

Well he bossed that didn't he ;) like if you get it 

[Seandude223]

"No amplifiers in sight"

e.e

Behind you, Rob...

[strabbs1]

theres lumps of it lying around on the ground!!

[TheBeatlesCom]

Once you get into jazz, never wanna go back to Blues.

[fanqueen]

Great sweep!!! hahaha!

[rchan0]

6:57 "makes you more desireable to women"

OMFG IMMA GONNA ORDER ONE NOW!

[TheSAJ11]

Why are we all getting bold ! damn it .

[superdanlewis]

i have the same key ring as chappers! day made :L

[bichobranco]

Heheh... was a great demo. Nice to see Alex doing some talking, can't remember seeing much of that before. I liked both sweeps btw. :D

[bichobranco]

"I wouldn't know... I don't have enough keys.. to know.." was awesome!!! LOL

[ramonarmi]

HELLP! Can anyone please help me! i accidentally formatted the sd card and now everythings gone! what should i do? please help me, i just got it a few days ago!

[portage600]

@ramonarmi you can go to BOSS's website and download the software for it again. you can also contact their customer service center to get help as well.

[ramonarmi]

@portage600 can you give me the link to it? i cant find it :S

[WoWintosh]

Jeez Louise, the neck on Alex's guitar is oil/wax finished birdseye maple. No lacquer worn off, no roasted maple nonsense, but a lot of grimy hand gunk. The oil finish doesn't really protect the wood that well (although it feels amazing) so all of your sweat and dead skin cells, along with all the gunky stuff you touch gets absorbed into the wood, making it feel SO much better. There, problem solved

[Nirvanamaster2]

This looks like one of the best pieces of gear i've seen lately!

[gbc77000]

This thing is supposedly a 4 track recorder with the capability to record up to 64 virtual tracks.

Instead of spending the whole time wanking over some backing tracks, perhaps you could also do a quick overview of the recording process and maybe play back a multi-track recording you made using the device.

That way, the video wouldn't be totally useless.

[highrollerzzz]

what a player

[GuitarmanIeuan]

Gran Turismo music! From 0:10 - 0:28

[TheSpoonwood]

Great player .... lousy pitch man...."um err 8trk er umm,,,mp1 no 3 umm".. but the box seems pretty great.

[devondave22]

Man, he didn't want to play no blues...

[MrStuartMiddleton]

Is that a walnut neck?

[willeng84]

@MrStuartMiddleton I think that is a played the fuck in maple neck. It looks like some older strats and shit I have seen. Some of its probably stained on grime from tons and tons of playing and some of it wear on the laquer causing it to get darker then stained with sweat making it even darker. My swamp ash special has some spots worn in similar to that one thats why I am pretty sure its just a well played neck.

[MyxHarnett]

4:58 Chappers's face XD

[ShelbyT66]

Thank you both!! Great video!

And....I made my choice ;-)

[joesatriani1200rulez]

dude whyd you get rid of ya long hair :O

[olly1p]

its a gt10 in ya pocket,dont you just love alex

[olly1p]

you will be amazed at the cosm effects on this br80 ,,you can tweek it very fine

[MattSatriani]

All amazing, but just a (stupid?) question: Can i connect the micro BR into the amp so I can hear my guitar while recording?

Sorry for my poor english, I'm Italian.

[bladerunner12]

That sweeping at the end of the video o_O

I hear it before my brain understands what's going on.

[Mahavishnu80]

''Birdseye Potato Waffles...There waffaly versatile KOOO KOOO''

[AraGuitar]

Chuck Norris picked up the guitar once, Alex Hutchings made him put it back down.

[MyLifeChanger]

@AraGuitar bullshit

[okamasphere]

can you upload your own personal mp3's to this thing?

[spenspuma]

Can he do anything other than just noodling round scales?

[nejikid]

@spenspuma he can play slow stuff. he does in the video. he plays arpegios, his phrasing is amazing, and when you get THAT good, no one minds hearing you play fast, because it sounds fucking killer. sure, if ur in a gloomy mood ull wana hear something slow and melodic, but i dont see why theyd be gloomy, they have the best damn jobs in the world

[Kid0fThePast]

Id give my left testicle to be able to play like him

[Dejoblue]

Epic sweeping!

[TheCommonDelusion]

Alex is an awesome guitarist, I will love to hear that album right now..

Epic!

[louzarv1]

Alex, officially the greatest sweeper there ever was ;)

[deloosem]

Just ordered one from andertons and I am in Belgium. I have been watching these vids for a long time and I thought it was time to repay something here... cool stuff!!!

[asecretlove1]

STAIRWAY TO HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[RONDOC68]

That's not really fair!!....that son of a bitch could make anything sound good!!!

[mongoose979]

my god I wet myself when he started improving on stairway

[mike31jmb]

6:10 for the win! LMAO

[mike31jmb]

There's a saying in guitars... "No Wood, No Good"!

[xxguitarman47xx]

alex is funny as shit! lmfao on the sweep part 

[nemtall]

Two guitar gods in One Room. Kool

[Madjeh]

ROFL,nice sweeping!

[metallicamike]

"Show me some blues"

"Ok, here's some jazz"

"Cool, now show me some blues"

"Ok, here's some pop"

[Hawkz91]

That's awesome! I bought one! :D

[Fiarzen]

THAT IS F*CKING AWESOME

a bit pricey, but if i had the money i would so get it, maybe i will yet.

[portage600]

will you guys be doing a in depth look at the BR80?

[crisDAwog]

the shirts fine

[bhock4]

what is that solo alex plays at the end ???? 5:49 :D

[jordanlythgoe1303]

@bhock4 Stairway to heaven-Led zeplin. Cmon like greatest song ever !!!

[PutItAway101]

Not an obvious guitar for playing jazz, but in those hands... BAM!

[MrDzhimbo]

Nice cheap way to relic a guitar - rub it on the floor!

[XChanges2]

And like in all Boss things the speeding up and slowing down sounds extremely bad! For all of you, that wanna have that feature, just get the guitar rig 4 player software for free. The function to slow down and speed up has amazing quality, you barely hear a difference to the original!

[m1234n1234]

looks like chappers has taken a more host role in these review videos - looks professional!!!

[IIM0L3RSII]

I'd sacrifice my first born to be able to play like Alex.

[trickyellis]

that chap is unbelievably good....

[stew918]

That guitar is slick...its speaking to me

[rickyjshiznit]

I like how Alex wraps himself around his guitar, as if him and the guitar are becoming one.

[sweetnessonice]

Please, get Guthrie Govan to do a video with you!

[SuperMegaMantus]

Wow, Boss kicked really some ass with this.

[flyhi94]

Had to play that Stairway part a couple of times

[IanTheGuitarGuy]

@flyhi94 same here man

[GuillermoSmyser]

that last sweep...........damn.

[scotty688]

Chappers looks tank in this video \m/

[guitarguy974]

MORE VIDEOS I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!!

[diabeticmonkey]

That was some win playing.

[bvried]

He is soooo fluid with those sweeps! Also, he went practically the whole fretboard! :O Dang, if I had to sweep the whole fretboard it would be Diminished pattern since it repeats. :o Alex is awesome!

[Thorbear632]

Man, the words and mouths are off again...only this channel for me....anyone else having this issue? Great video as always though.....Alex leaves me speechless as usual!!!

[haruko958]

chappers, looking good! keep that look man. fantastic playing as always, alex.

[cmonsterz]

Good golly! Yet another infernallly awesome piece of gear that I need to spend my incredibly hard earned money on. By jove, Chappers...you've done it again!

[apophis135]

I want to work at Anderton's!

[5uperfly55]

wooooooooohooooo:))))



[bluetseel]

this dude rocks so hard, i want an album fro him haha

[1SoulSurrender1]

Hey Rob the the videos man. Hey I was wondering if you were gonna do another lesson on modes? I really learned a lot from the first lesson.

Thanks man

[rmoraespinto]

Chappers says: "your jazz is quite good". I agree and take back a previous comment on another video of his.

BTW: thanks, Chappers, for so many good videos that you have uploaded through your many partnerships.

[MrCwillies]

5:53 - 6:19 PURE WIN!!

[broomiester]

Chappers, your hair looks cool, that is all. :)

[AverageCritic]

What kind of wood is alexs guitar neck made of?

[RobChappers]

@AverageCritic Tree wood \m/

[01020498]

@RobChappers ROFLMAO !!!!!!! (yes i'm laughing that hard)

[Gashtalf]

@RobChappers That's so peculiar! XD

[FinalFantasyCenter]

@RobChappers It's Maple, isn't it?

[V3ryM3tal]

@RobChappers Ahem, dirty tree wood.

[LordOfThisWorld74]

@RobChappers Dirty tree wood

[TiboukMusiChannel]

@RobChappers is the nut made of material ?

[kakabulle243]

@RobChappers just what i thaught!

[NNX7]

@RobChappers You made my day Rob! XD

[TheExtremsteR]

@RobChappers

its dirty maple .... :)

[iamgav71]

@RobChappers Why didn't you just answer the question? If you don't know just say that instead of being a dick

[ems81ar]

@AverageCritic It's a MusicMan Axis Super Sport (baswood body, maple top and Birdseye maple neck)

[FreddyVanHalen5150]

@AverageCritic Birdseye Maple

[aadame90]

@AverageCritic dirty ass maple

[GuillermoSmyser]

@aadame90 mmmmm that ass maple has great tone. dirty or not.

[Coztomba]

@AverageCritic Birds eye maple i'm pretty sure. just like the EVH guitars this model was based on before Eddie left for Peavey

[AnOddMusician]

@AverageCritic it looks like birds eye maple

[jhop5150]

@AverageCritic Bird's Eye maple.

[psofoss]

@AverageCritic Tree wood of birdseye maple!

[MyxHarnett]

@AverageCritic It's birds Eye Maple man ;-)

[SoundWavesSurfer]

@AverageCritic I can´t quite see in the image, u can check out on the Music Man site exactly... But either is maple or birds eye maple -same wood just different estetic pattern. Is an all maple neck (neck and fingerboard are maple), maple sound has a more defined fundamentals, wich mean Is brighter =)  I hope this helps u.

[mike31jmb]

@AverageCritic birdseye maple

[LastXzIII]

@AverageCritic Looks like an aged maple. Don't take my word for it though. ><

[beret37]

@AverageCritic Maple

[colmonic]

@AverageCritic Maple mate. Cheeky Chappers eh?

[ashleybdowney]

@AverageCritic

That's birdseye maple. The guitar is a later version of EVH's signature Ernie Ball.

[willeng84]

@ashleybdowney It may have started that way but I really really really don't think so. Its just a fucking nasty ass played in maple neck. Like everyone of SRV maple necks, my older strat and my swamp ash PRS both have that same look at places on the neck and neither are birdseye maple. Not saying the neck isn't birds eye its just that I am 100% positive its the lacquer missing and grime causing that effect. I own and have owned tons of guitars and seen thousands looking like that.

[hospitalhunting]

@AverageCritic bird's eye maple I believe.

[jbouxa]

@AverageCritic Pretty sure it's just birdseye maple that's been stained by his fingers.

[mr4y]

It could be either Birds-eye maple or Roasted Maple...

[Seandude223]

Alex is a great guitarist, but he fucked up in messing around with Stairway to Heaven. No bueno, dude. You DON'T fuck with that solo! EVER.

[metalicman57200]

@Ris723 Exactly what I was thinking

please Chappers next time a bit of metal in the demo !!!

[Punk1984Rock]

I have the old BR but unfortunately when you hook it up to a computer you cannot access the songs on it !

[roccckkerrr]

this has already been said but first thing that came to mind was chappers loss of power in the relationship: "play some blues", "now I'll show you some jazz"

[AlexMcshred6505plus]

this has separated me from my shit, :0 Alex Hutchings FTW!!!

[CMSpida]

Chappers: alex play us some twelve bar blues

Alex: Ok here's some Jazz

(alex plays)

Chappers: wow your Jazz is actually quite great

Alex: its blagable

Chappers: ok how about some blues

Alex: OK heres some pop

[TheGrizzir1]

Chappers: Show me some bluesy stuff

Hutchings on hearing this turns round and says

Hutchings: Well heres something thats not what you asked but still

[ryanjacko1]

What song is that solo in at the end, cant think of the name?

[ryanjacko1]

@ryanjacko1 Its stairway to heaven, just forgot

[SomethinWild]

The unit is amazing, but Alex's playing even more so... I'm lost for words.

[ISN1P3DI]

OH MY GOD ALEX'S SWEEPING IS AMAZING!, his playing isnt bad either :D

[MajereRaist]

Chappers, you mongoloid. I couldn't watch the video because of your stupid ass shirt.

[phoenixforce22]

sometimes english accents just hurt my ears. ol boy on the right is hitting licks though.

[ShredChannel]

CHAPPERS!!! Y U NO HAVE AWESOME HAIR ANYMOAR!?!?!?!?

[Caige]

@ShredChannel he donated it to charity. no joke.

[mrdaryls11]

country



[KingofPho75]

that maple neck is going to be rosewood pretty soon

[MrPurpleguitar]

I'm gonna start doing that sweeping thing when someone asks me to sweep XD

[JDRobins100]

@RobChappers Two questions chappers, 1. Does this thing work with just a guitar and no amp, maybe a laptop on the other end, 2. Can you record tracks then put them onto your computer as a single track with you and a backing track on it? Thanks :-)

[TheNation21]

Hutchings is a FU******** BEAST !



[Adamshredsify]

I cant get enough of hutchings

[ravenshield56]

Fucking spot treatment adverts piss me OFF

[vheadfacelegs]

lmao he kept asking alex for blues and he keeps playing other things :D

[hendrixkixas]

@vheadfacelegs Lol. I know. Poor Chappers. Just wanted a "12 bar scenario"...

[ermonski]

is it just me or does the intro music sound like "Even Flow" by Pearl Jam?

[papuza]

i´d love to have an album from this guy... !

[Lallen785]

@papuza He's releasing one soon apparently :)

[RobChappers]

@papuza Keep your ears and eyes peeled - Alex is working on one soon ;-)

[JS1200Player]

My pants are a mess....dirty dirty fretwork

[harryjamesthomas]

if i can ever get anywhere near that good at tapping i will be IMMENSELY happy :L

[gitarmats]

If you could get Guthrie Govan to do these types of videos with you as well, I'd be one happy bastard... Better yet, Alex 'and' Guthrie!

[CaptainXs]

oh his fretboard is so dirty

[CDP110]

Alex is just so amazing, I dare say as amazing as Chappers himself. Is that blasphemy?!

[RustyR]

I don't suppose Mr Alex gives guitar lessons in Bristol does he?

[TheMetalHeaD256]

7:18 sounds like what i learned from watching Skwisgaar Skwigelf's sweeping lesson.

[CoolKabbage]

It sounds really good!

[blackstars26]

5:44 FUCK ME SENSELESS.

[Qwertyguy86]

I want his guitar so badly, brb gonna go steal it.

[Rozier168]

What kind of guitar does Alex have?

[charlieshreds]

@Rozier168 music man axis

[Opeth1337]

Ahhh, pornos!

[GodzillaEatsMeat]

I think Alex should become a perminent member of the team

Lee, Chappers and Alex for the WIN!

[mynamesnotwill]

Alex, are you a wizard?

[AndertonsMusic]

@mynamesnotwill Alex isn't a wizard, but due to his excellent playing skills he does get a lot of wizards sleeve.

[aldricsuan]

metal



[TiboukMusiChannel]

Out of subject question : Will you do a "Zakk Wylde tone for under a 1000£" ? thanks :)

[sebkw96]

alex is just incredible, im still trying to get my head around his tuning tho!

[FazSaber]

Not a fan of all that jazz fusion stuff but ever since seeing Alex demo the Roland GR55 I'm a huge fan of his playing, and have now had my guitar tuned to 4ths for 2 weeks now :O!!

[MechaSixVII]

Yes, All Alexs are from Alexland, and those are very nice keys.
