CHATREEO PLAYS BILL LAWRENCE SWAMPKASTER GUITAR

[maximeromary]

Did he died?

[nickthestripper28]

I hate to ask you that, Sir, but are you nuts?

[meanghost18]

it may look impressive but it just all sounds so shit

[CDNBOBify]

pure shit

[deluxetone]

Thank you for sharing your fantastic playing with us. Your magnificent technique displayed a side of bills pick ups that is not usually demonstrated in his single coil pickups and that is there ability to stay clear and focused sounding when used with an overdriven sound. I have been a jazz, rock, funk and blues player for 44 years and studied with some of the worlds greatest players and found your video a delight to listen to and watch. Keep up the good work and hope to see more from you.

Pointless.

[PrzemekLeoniak]

poor strat :(

[21maskman]

You wanna see the swamper played with soul?? See 21maskman on the Swamper!

[doneaster]

Chatreeo,

Yes, you can play very fast and that's good, now please do another video and play something slow and mellow and let each note be heard. Show everyone that you can actually play some nice sounding music.

[gregblueyourface]

This guy is really good......at playing really fast, unmusical licks by himself....I bet he's friends with Michael Angelo Batio and Steve Vai...

[MrMethadrine]

At least wear some fuckin socks...yuk.

[52hombre]

Looks like he's huntin' all over for the right note. Sounds like 2 chainsaws fuckin'.

[jimmypinch]

too much

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

This is where it's gone, folks. All gymnastics and no sense of melody or time. I must admit, after playing for 50+ years, I can't play this many notes in a year. This young man obviously has some kind of talent, but...how many hit records has he or will he ever play on? And...there's another kid out there somewhere who is probably 5 years younger and plays twice as fast.

[VinceNorris]

I wanted to hear all the nuances and caracteristics of the pickups... I think this video can't help me for that. That's simply too fast

[opannefrank]

This absolutely SUCKS!. Great, you can play super fast. Now, play something pleasant to listen to.

[beatapt5]

What does the guitar sound like. I can't tell for all the j**king off.

[surfco]

Nice wanking.

[ekkybedmond]

I'm sorry, where's the music in this ??

[flatfeat]

Hello 1987.

[johanaavit]

Posted a video response, where i used the same guitar and pup's in a different kind of music and guitar sound.. Great guitars..

[s3r3nitys33k3r33]

hey are those the l-45 single coils? I've been thinking about getting some for my peavey tracer, they work well for this kind of music?

[sunp]

cumon guys, if he enjoyed slow blues he'd be doin just that. apprently this is what hes into, who are we to tell him otherwise?

[stiffnugly]

How can this only rate 4 stars? It's a friggin' demo, people - of an off the rack average build quality piece that this guy tears a new one. I notice no video responses, just the same ol' tired jealous bullshit claptrap from the same jilted hacks posting rants elsewhere. Thanks, Chartreeo, for takin' the time to show us a piece most folks aren't that familiar with - but most can afford. Once again shows it really ain't the machine, it's the desire and the fire in the belly. Well done.

[toyoubecritic1]

People on here need to recognize talent.They give this guy a hard time, But they swoon over anything that Petrucci, Vai, Gilbert or MAB does. Grow up and give this man the respect he deserves.

[Filipdinca]

oboseala

[ROMEO007890]

good wanking

[jwtu54]

All show, no go.....Speed kills!!! You could be good but you need some soul in your playing.

[tomasheavymetal]

hauhauua

so velocidade

[guitargod834]

lay off the crack...

awesome. tone sucked.

get more feel.

[yamitanomura]

looks like has a evil inside and drinks 100 coffe cups.

You need to relax man. (Amazing technic and really fast)

[Pete24v]

great technique. I'd just love to hear a swept arpeggio done with taste and feel. Also with less distortion

[einsteinian]

Lol @ haters. Yeah it gets a bit unclear at some parts, but he is just jamming out. There is no denying skills. Regardless of the music I love, I call talent when I see it. Nice guitar too. Cmon people, I bet half the people who whined at this video are either failed guitarists and jealous or just have no skills at all, let alone videos to prove it, hehe. Fuck the haters, Chatreeo you rocked it.

[soundpitchblack]

NO FEEL!!! JUST LIKE A ROBOT ON TRIP!!! my bad im not a hater but a lot of guitarists today only want to go faster and faster, thats good but when you loose the feeling of what music really is and when u loose the perspective that a instrument is an instrument of what u want to translate from soul to music is just shameless.

[whiteonsolo]

horrible...

[InVaZi0n]

What the heck was that.....other than showing off??

[n1rvana4ev3r]

Every guitar sounds the same in his fucking amazingly fast hands xD

[merc1110]

damn!!!

[areks29]

Good boy good boy!

[quinnmyster]

Wow, that was frickin sweet. I really appreciate the mid-range center of tone that those single coil pickups have. I've never been a single coil or Fender fan, but the power AND clarity in those singles, plus they're Bill Lawrence's, is just awesome. Thanks for the demo, Chatreeo.

[JKryanX]

they arent single coils, they are stacked humbuckers, i have one in the bridge of my tele

[Saladin126]

LOL, everytime I see someone shred the fuck out on a video, there's an assload of whiney penis envy below it. If this is "mindless noodling" I'd definitely rather see someone do this shit for an hour than even hear what Billy gibbons has to "say" in 5 notes.

[Carv4d1n5tone]

word

[denoobifier]

johnsoncm65 FUCK YOU LETS SEE YOU DO THAT

[johnsoncm65]

Mindless noodling with lots of technique...but no MUSIC is being played.

Billy Gibbons can say more in FIVE notes than this guy can in an hour. B.B. King only needs ONE note.

Enough with the wanking already. Play MUSIC instead.

[GordonParis]

Put this player with a band and put his "mindless noodling" into some musical context and I'm sure we'd all be even more impressed. That is exactly why BB King is so great because he's an amazing band leader. When the legend drops that famous one note it's satisfying because of the context in which that note is played.

Technique doesn't make up for soul and vice versa, it's the sum of all this and more that makes a player truly great - but you can only say so much without the former.

[casi171]

Honestly. I like blues, I like shred. I don't think shredding is really trying to say a whole lot. It's pretty much a showing off of technique and speed. Nothing wrong with that, and it's impressive. Now, people like you who bring up the whole feeling issue are missing the point. I don't think he's really trying to convey anything. You're just trying to run him down for the fact you can't play something like this. If you want to hear music with feeling. Look up BB King, or some artist you like.

[rebbini]

faster is not always better....but sounds good

[TheSkiappetons]

You have great skills but you keep on digging on the guitar. Paly some blues or something slower please!

[alanjason]

Yawn. Yea, it's fast I guess. Do you have any songs of your own, or do you just shred on all the different guitars in the store and upload them here?

[joerez8]

yeah its fast but once you seen one shred you seen em all. emotionless.

[Scruffy404]

mhm very true

It is nothing without shred

This is why I love Vai and Petrucci so much they know wt to do :)

[jawkster]

omfg. lame. i've watched over 1/2 your videos already and it just makes me sleepy lol, but nevertheless still great i guess.

[ppz4162]

WOW!
