  • You would think with all that money he could have afforded some guitar lessons.

  • Clearly he isn't playing music for people who haven't explored modernist harmonic experimentation. He's not great in my opinion, but if you have a widespread appreciation of music, what he's doing isn't terrible. He is comparable to Schoenberg, Sorabji, Kaoru Abe, Coltrane before his death, and a million others. Broaden your horizons.

  • I showed this video to my children today:

    "See, kids? This is what happens to you when you have more money than talent or brains."

  • 5:07 It would probably be better if you learned to play forwards first buddy.

  • I love how he sayd.. I started playing guitar when I was 20...

    Than later says, I wrote this tune on guitar when I was a child...

    ??

  • He's a prick, but the sounds he gets are quality.

  • Maybe if you're on LSD this makes sense. To me it sounds like the VHS player is chewing up my Dukes of Hazzard video.

  • Jesus God this guy is a fucking douche bag!

  • Gaaak!! what a waste of electricity. Seriously, loose the effects and learn to play!

  • Comment removed

  • Kaiser: "Let's play some blues, Dr. D!" *Dr. D plays the worst blues ever*

    *Kaiser plays the worst thing that isn't even close to the blues ever*

    Kaiser: Yeah! Far out!

    Dr. D: I'm hungry.

  • were's PGS andy when you need him!?

  • 23 people are fucking deaf

  • 10 minutes of my life gone on that ass hole and his musical vomit

  • Has anybody realized how bad the guitar itself sounds, even on clean?

  • What a waste of and ODS...

  • ... is this guy for real??

  • Further proof that for the right amount of $ even Dumble will sell out to some rich talentless tool

  • what a tool

  • WHy does this douche play thru a Dumble if he's gonna sound like that? Why play through any tube amp? Why is Dumble there? Surreal but hilarious.

  • @yoyomyma He's an avant guarde musician, which mans he likes to make weird noises.

  • Wow. 

  • Ghastly

    

  • LOL! What the hell is going on here?? can't believe this guy is serious, it all sounds nice until he plays the guitar.

  • wow, this guitarist is just terrible.

  • This crap is FUNNY and sad all at the same time. I can't stop laughing, while trying to push knitting needles in my ears.

  • The FBI needs to rescue that guitar.

  • MY EARS HAVE JUST BEEN RAPED

  • Anytime I'm feeling down I put this video on and piss myself laughing for 10.01.

    It's like a 80's Saturday Night Live Joke.

    What a fuckwit.

  • @chooseyourblues

    I'm laughing and he hasn't even started playing. What a CLOWN.

  • Dumble seems possibly more pissed off watching this guy then I am. Actually I know he is, and should be. Imagine being one of the leading amp builder/modder and watching a guy (IDIOT) ruin a great amp. That tone from dumble is great but shit that Kaiser guy can burn in hell.

  • I feel ill.

  • wow I really cant believe how full of excrement this guy is. The funny thing is he actually believes he's laying down some earth shattering stuff. I can guarantee Dumble never heard this guy play before he walked into the studio on this day. Look at his face he's in pain every time this guy starts playing.

  • Isn't this video supposed to be about Dumble and his amps?

  • What a clown. A one-man tone and taste desert.

    

  • Talent-less prog?

  • I just don't get it. Are we to believe that if you have an ass ton of useless effects and pretend hard enough that you can play, it sounds good? And what's even more crazy is some people think if they say they like this it makes them seem sophisticated or enlightened some how.

  • At first I thought this whole clip was made as a joke of some sort..Then I realized he is actually thinking that he can play guitar..This man is a damn idiot..

  • What a fabulous musician! Never get tired of Henry Kaiser!!!

  • Most people use the "same old boring effects' but at least they can play. Who exactly is this video supposed to appeal to? As long as his hands aren't on the guitar, it's almost listenable. ALMOST!

  • What tha fuck??????????

  • This guy totally comes across as such a pretentious douche it's amazing!

  • The last words of this segment say so much, I think: "It yodels in octaves."

  • I want to take his "Third Hand" and slap him in his fucking face with it.

    Spoiled brat Henry Kaiser

  • He just has Dumble explain why tubes create a more interesting and complex tone then completely obliterates the signal with a barrage of solid state crap. Way to your head Henry. Let's give Mr. Kaiser an acoustic guitar and see what he's really made of.

  • @Vitotesta Spare your ears. I've heard Henry Kaiser try to play an acoustic guitar.

  • this is not helping sales for dumbles!!!

  • Dude he's not shredding pentatonics!  The horror! That's all anyone should play cuz its the only thing that sounds cool!!

  • This is literally the most terrible thing I have ever seen. Ever.

  • wow...

  • Crappiest Video I have ever seen in my entire life. Stick to hairdressing you idiot!!

  • someone please give this idiot a line6 amp and give the dumble amp to someone who will make is sing

  • He should just point and say "play doughboy"!

  • This guy is the biggest tool i have ever seen.

  • Then again, I didn't hear anything here to convince me of this. It's just wishful thinking. But, it "yodels in octaves"!!!!!!

  • Wow! This was seriously painful! I thought Mr. Dumble required a demo before he would sell you an amp. And, yet, this guy is not only good enough to be "worthy" of purchasing a Dumble amp, but he is "special" enough that Alex sat in with him on this embarassment. The amazing thing is, he could do this through a $200 solid state amp and you couldn't tell the difference. He needs to forget the "tricks" and just play a great guitar through a great amp - he might not be all that bad.

  • If there was ever an example of over-effecting your sound...

  • holy jesus fuck why did i watch the whole thing??!?!?

  • Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

  • WTF???!

    

  • Which one of those effects makes it sound like he is actually playing a guitar?

  • This guy is kidding, right? How could you suck that hard yet simultaneously talk as though you have some level of talent. Mr. Dumble should stand up and molly-wamp this poser.

  • Very "standard" kinds of things to do...Mr. Dumble, if you please...

  • What a total toolbag.

  • Dumble is bewildered.

  • Wow he was trying to use effects "normally" and it still was out of tune and sucked.

  • Nobody does it like you, Henry. What vanity.

  • Holy SHIT. Sorry to spam here. HE SAYS "WHAT KEY?!" Like it fucking matters.

    AAAAHAHAHA

  • Mr. Dumble? @4:00

  • Holy shit. Spoiled rich douche bags make amazing youtube comedians.

  • Henry, sound like he's been playing for a about a week... and just had all this gear delivered yesterday...

    And Dumble sounds 100 times better playing rhythm...

  • One clip he says he started guitar when he was 20 years old and later he says he made up this bag pipe crap on guitar when he was a kid - not only is he crap, and a liar - he's a crap liar as well.

  • i fell asleep at 0:02, did i miss anything good?

  • 2:19 that is nothing like a 'movable capo"

    This guy is a moron.

  • I can't believe how many incredibly stupid people there are around here. Henry Kaiser happens to be one of the best guitarists alive. I can't imagine what a person would call "good" when think Henry's playing "sucks".

  • Giving this guy a Dumble and all the shit effects he has is like giving someone a ferrari and watching them stick spoilers, rims, and hydraulics on it, then drink paint thinner laced with mescaline and drive around Daytona.

  • @cballs88

    lol Your assessment is phenomenal, and I thank you for it! :D

  • this is the musical equivalent of realizing you've just stepped in a freshly laid steaming dog turd, and you cant wipe if off...

  • What an uber dork! That's one of the pitfalls of the guitar. A guy learns a few things and thinks he's king shit of turd island. Drown that crappy playing with some really crappy effects.... So, this is how Dumble dies? falls asleep and falls off his stool and breaks his neck?

  • I don't think Dumble is impressed here. But, he's probably getting paid well.

  • In this video he shows he can actually play, but coating everything in effects just ruins it, the last effects being the worse thing I've every heard.

  • he's living proof that gear means nothing when you just can't play

  • This guy is the biggest douche on the internet. No small feat.

  • how did this fucker get to put out an instructional video?

  • Shite!

  • I like how he asks what key Dumble's going to play in as if It matters at all. When this horse's ass comes in with what sounds like a broken version of every whacky Electro-Harmonix pedal ever made all on at once it's amazing.

  • 6:18 "Very very curious effect"

    It's all curious bud and by curious I mean shit

  • He is Henry J. Kaiser the Industrialists grandson...With all the bad players and self centered unimportant crap on Youtube lets not hate him just cause he may be loaded! He is playing a $10k amp! Agreed he does sound a little taken with him self I guess, OK player. Nice to see and hear Mr Dumble play.

  • They say this idiot is skanky rich - so that pretty much explains his self-centered BS and associations with ppl with true talent. I bet this moron writes checks to all his "friends" who kiss his az and laugh all the way to the bank behind his back. He should take his "extra hand" and stick it up his az. Wonder what he'd sound like then...probably better.

  • i meant at 5:14 oops

  • he has (i cant stop freakin laughin to type0 he has a damn mini orgasm at 5:09 listen to his silly ass ,sounds JUST like hes getting pounded in the rear ,he sounds like a girl faking a gasm......this has to be the most RETARded guy on youtube i cant believe he is real

  • 3:40: About the worst "blues" ever!

  • Kill Him!!!! please!!

  • "If I bend a note, it yodels in octaves.." *screech*

    I lost the ability to hear after that.

  • He's actually not a bad guitarist at all.  Too bad he uses his talent to sound like shit.

  • Absolute SHITE!

  • sometime people forget that being inovative not always means to just do weird as stuff.... I rather be "boring" that sounding like a star trek arcade when playing blues.

  • LOL...he already sounds like he's playing backwards...did he really need an extra effect!

  • This is the rest of the world letting you know that you are still a c*nt

  • I wonder how many times he was dropped on his head as a baby? I'm thinking somewhere close to every hour, on the hour.

  • @ibanezman007

    LMAO

  • Harmonizers make harmonies!!!

  • I watched this whole video waiting for Dumble to tackle him from behind, I really though it was going to happen. Or see Dumbles' guitar flying to this guy's head.

  • When I feel I suck at guitar I watch this video, and feel like the best guitar player of the world!!!!Yeaaaaahhh!!!!

  • Horrible!!!!!! I got to rush to the hospital, my ears are bleeding!!!!!

  • You're all just jealous of the love between Henry and Dr. Dumble. F ALL Y'ALL!

    Watch, no hands...with my foot!

    UPDATE! Mr. Dumble was being held at gunpoint. You can see the red dot from the laser sight on his bandanna @ 3:48!

  • Hey hey hey, its Mrrrrrrrr. Dumble!

    And I'm gonna sing a song for you

    And this is gonna show you A thing or two

    You'll have some fun now With me and the Kaiser

    Learning from each other

    While we do our thang na, na, na

    Gonna have a good time na, na, na

    Gonna have a good time hey, hey, hey!

  • when im feeling sad i watch this video and it makes me smile, its like this should be a skit on saturday night live, this is comic genius..."see my finger on my geeetar" lol are you serious and the dumb look on dumbles face is priceless, its like he's think "they betta have my check immediately after this cause this is ridiculous"

  • Yeah, I'm thinking HK must have financed Mr. Dumble in some way. I mean it's stunning how horrible the amp sounds. Why would Alexander Dumble subject himself to this type of bad publicity?

    This has got me scared straight with respect to effects, make the instrument/amp sound good first, then add effects. I'm not sure what this guy is selling, but I ain't buying any of it. HE seems to believe in it, which is good, I guess....

  • hahahaha i love how he asks what key. like that matters.

  • Fuck YOU

  • he must be the guy who plays in all the guitar parody videos

    great work dude

  • Wow that "blues jam" sounded just horrible....and Ive never heard bagpipes that sound so bad.

  • Retarded.

  • "He needs a talent effect on his rack." is damn funny I have to admit. This is just an example of 80's guitar into the digital effects world gone far far astray

  • This reminds me of those thrash videos.

  • is this some kind of april's fool mockumentary?..

  • this dude gave a bad reputation to dumble. it's not like dumble have a good reputation himself. kaiser dude's crazy. or maybe dumble went crazy hanging out with dudes like him.

  • Sounds to me like all those fancy effects are runing that legendary Dumble tone...well that and the guy's lack of guitar skills.

  • Dumble a pretty decent player. Kiaser WTF

  • At 5:17 Dumble looks at Kaiser like, your a real donkey dick!

  • Comment removed

  • Holy shit! Who is this guy, and how did Dumble manage to sit through the whole thing without wrapping the guitar round his neck??

  • i want to punch this man in the face for being such a shit human

  • @woslow14 you're nothing special yourself

  • Oh men! his blues playing is the real deal.

  • That guy is cute.

  • Holy crap. DO NOT WANT ! What a waste of a great amp.

  • Whats up with the crappy distortion he's using to much up a great sounding amp?

    Oh, and JACKWONTKNOW, long ech is delay. it's all the same temporal effect only being picky about time differences.

  • Whats up with the crappy distortion he's using to much up a great sounding amp?

  • Humbleness - 0%

    Talent - 0%

    Assholeness - 100%

  • @gekaraki

    Wonder what  Dumble is thinking while watching this guy

    talking shit and demoing his shit effects making the amp sound crap

    was considering buying a Dumble , but that thought has passed

    owed to this video

  • So, everyone who is bashing Kaiser found this video by searching Dumble? I found it by searching Kaiser, because I'm a FAN. He doesn't make music like this all the time (Has worked with Richard Thompson, and helped him with the soundtrack to GRIZZLY MAN), and you guys are critiquing a man you know nothing about.

  • @BucksStudent I think there's plenty enough information here to critique him on. Even if he's done something decent some other time in his life, that doesn't change the atrocious turd-bucket on display here. Inexcusable.

  • @theanthill1001 Let's see what you can do with all those effects and a Dumble.

  • Comment removed

  • @BucksStudent Well... I would put the rack on the floor & use it to sit on. Then I would plug straight into the Dumble and make some MUSIC.

  • @theanthill1001 But who are you to say what Music is? Remember, music is just noise. Who is obnoxious enough to say that what Sonic Youth does isn't music, and that the blues is? A hundred years ago, many people thought putting a knife to your guitar strings was barbaric, but it led to slide-guitar. Henry plays music just as much as you or me. He can actually take those effects and incorporate them well, and if you don't like it, fine, but HE has the Dumble, he has the contract, and the money.

  • Comment removed

  • @BucksStudent *sigh* FINE. If you insist, music can be many things. I will withdraw the implication this isn't music. But if, unlike 95% of the people here you can't see that he lacks any musicality - timing, touch, tone, phrasing, sense of melody etc - just because you think he's innovative (SPOILER ALERT: HE'S NOT) then fine. Enjoy. I'm going to leave this alone forever and enjoy some ACTUALLY innovative musicians, not some grown-up kid still messing round with his toys like a15-yr old

  • @theanthill1001 You can't just judge him based on one video. If you've seen or own Grizzly Man on DVD, there's a "making of the soundtrack" where Henry and Richard Thompson collaborate for the film. Kaiser's playing is nothing like on this video, yet still utilizes effects. Les Claypool loves him; his music may not be for you, but you're being highly scornful. I used to be like that when I was twelve, but now I don't say everything I don't enjoy sucks or is crap.

  • @BucksStudent Nope. You're wrong. I can tell so much by this video. Maybe he has done some good work elsewhere. I certainly hope so, but it doesn't change what can be plainly seen here. I'm not JUST being scornful, I'm being realistic. When I said he's not innovative, it's because I know that (at least in this video) he's not, plenty have done more & better with weirder effects & ideas. And when I listed his musical shortcomings, I can easily back them up. Anyway, enjoy.

  • @theanthill1001 No one is wrong; it's all opinion, including your aggressive one towards Kaiser.

  • @BucksStudent seriously dude, drop it. this nigga straight sucks dick.

  • money can buy equipment, but money can't buy talent. "I use it in all kinds of music" yes, and you play all kinds of music at the same time.

  • Comment removed

  • This is why shame was invented, so you can realize to stop what your doing because you're doing it wrong.

  • People who play this shitty shouldn't be allowed to touch a guitar! Dumble himself sounded great but Henry fucktard Kaiser disgraced that Dumble amp!

  • Ok- I never comment on videos but this is the worst sounding freaking guitar I can honestly say I've ever heard for someone who considers himself a player. And his blues playing- hahahahaha! get my wife drunk with my guitar and she could have sounded better. I wonder if Dumble was embarrassed?

  • its not a long echo, its called a delay moron

  • @jackwontknow1 Umm, you can get Echo pedals that do that too!

  • @BucksStudent yeah i know... haha

  • Kaiser is full of bullshit. I can't believe the sound he makes. It's hard to listen.

  • If the way you sound its the way you are inside, this guy is really fucked up..

  • OMG! If you are pro life, change your mind. This whole moment in time could have never happened. Ralph Macchio is a better guitar player. Mario Lopez plays better 12 bar blues. You see, the equipment doesn't make a player great... A few days ago I was eating lunch with Eddie Van Halen and Pat Martino and we were discussing the musings of Stephen Hawking. NAME DROPPER

  • It's late, and I thought I'd just try hear what a Dumble amp sounds like... and I discovered this solid gold comic theater of tone torture. 

  • I hate this guy. What a douche nozzle.

  • Using so many effects on a DUMBLE amp kinda ruins the point of having a FUCKING DUMBLE AMP! or any good amp for that matter, other than line6 :| ...

  • "Watch, NO HANDS"... Most people use effects in the 'boring way' because they sound good to the other people who are 'LISTEING..'

    Get IT?

    PS. Never trust anyone who wears track-suit pants on their video shoot..

  • @NegaitveHalo Are you he??

  • It souds like he's raping a turkey with a bagpipe!

  • @jeffhickman10  Ok, I just have to ask. How did you knew this sounded like a turkey being raped with a bagpipe and not lets say a regular pipe?

  • @santax123 Because I am from Scotland and rape turkey's with my bagpipe.

  • @jeffhickman10 Well in that case, let me put this behind behind youtube dot com: watch?v=vLz8y5sp-lU

    ;) cheers buddy!

  • I've been waiting for a lesson on how to put the least effort in to tweaking a delay effect in order to sound like spoonfuls of mushy cat.
