go home giggs102

[giggs102]

The guy on the right is definately jack black.

[trod13]

Truly grateful you guys recorded this. I come back to this video often and always blown away by Pete and Alex.

[eddie30969]

AWESOME.....EXCELLENT...Hats off to both of you!!! you make the guitar sound soooo nice...

[cool22sweethikaru]

alex nice playin a true versatile musician

[cool22sweethikaru]

nice playin there alex you really are a true versatile musician .

[Lydian7lc]

So funny, you can tell Pete is like "Go F**k your self Alex!" when Alex brings up playing some "Proper Jazz" lol

[6project6nightmare6]

Curious to know what Gauge Alex is using, since he usually uses 8s.

[Echofieldmusic]

@6project6nightmare6 I saw an interview once where he defended his use of 8's on the electric by saying he uses 13s (I think) on his acoustic!

[klummster88]

Jazz isn't my thing, and even if I never get into it, this video still helped me a lot.

[SeBi2221996]

i think alex shit himself at 11:20

[justaspectator01]

looks like they are still learning by each other. Cool! XD

[josody]

"... like alcohol"

Good one :P

[jaredgulliford]

anyone know the song in the beginning?????

[jaredgulliford]

@jaredgulliford ahhh nostalgia in times square

[6cob6hc6]

Superb!

[xxCAGExx]

i love alex on acoustic!!!!!

[growguyuk]

The other Alex Hutchings video at Andertons-- it was interesting to see you Rob, with the same look on your face, watching Alex, that Lee usually has watching you.

[EricClaptonFan24]

Pete is great also!

[16YearsInHell]

He says there are many styles of jazz, but which style of jazz do they play here? Because I like it

[NunoDuarte7]

Alex, you need to make an album! NOW!

[bretona]

this takes me back to guitar lessons with Carl Filipiak, hell of a guitarist. Learned SO much from him

A+ guys!

[joesatriani2210]

Just .... mind blowing ....

[muzicboy99]

that was like... the best playing ive ever seen!

[TheFranciscoppp]

Crap... i gotta quit guitar xD



[ElGbayRGX]

This guys are amaaaaziiing !!!!!!!!!!!! 

[GardenStreetBand]

Holy Shit, this is fuckin' great!!!

[JohnguitaristCook]

Alex Hutchings reminds me a Christopher Nolan...for some reason...:)

[boogahed]

Why do i find myself screwing my face up like Alex lol that man has feeling yeehaa

[Jacko11120]

This makes me want to give up guitar out of jealousy.

[Jacko11120]

BREATHE Alex.

[Lydian7lc]

What song are they playing???????

[pacrat90]

@Lydian7lc They're just jamming I think.

[SpicerGovan]

@Lydian7lc At the end it's John Coltrane - equinox, you can also hear alex say 'equinox' at 10:18.

[Lydian7lc]

@SpicerGovan Thanks dude, im lookin the progression up now!!

[Conorhstone]

How the hell do you get that good with not only your playing but your theory?

[Arondo93]

why the hell do these two not have an album i have met alex and he's a really nice musician down to earth with a killer playing style

[therarmann]

How much does the one to the right cost? The one with the long hair.

[Wattyb2]

@therarmann

Well, since guitars don't have hair, I can't only assume you speak of Alex Hutchings. He happens to be a person, and being that slavery is a despicable practice, I feel inclined to inform you that he is not for sale in any way shape of form.

[jasfiona]

Wot's he done with his hair?

[Fokseh]

Amazing players!

[sarinapaparone]

Brilliant stuff!

[WoWintosh]

Was Alex playing in EADGCF tuning in this vid?

[henryshomebrew]

@WoWintosh yes he always uses this tuning

[todomusika]

Totally awesome stuff!! Thanks for this!

[kwaka69]

Great vid, learnt more about playing jazz in this vid than a mountain of books, thanks!

[guitarguy974]

hi

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

MOAR LIEK DIS!

[djomirmr]

Awesome, it's the only word that can describe that.....love it!!!! Need more of that Rob..... ; )

[theLEWISization]

does Alex realise he makes those amazing faces???

[dreadfullguitar]

*Shuupp..... Eeeh*

[123JoeD456]

Some wonderful playing, has inspired me a bit :P

[dsvogel420]

Nice yamahas, I was looking at that same model of acoustic to buy for my girlfriend bc of its narrow body and size, and great price.. at least I have a valid reason to buy another guitar lol

[TipitinaJazz]

Jazz is always an extension of the creative mind, this can not be taught...

[gnrmanmatt]

jazz makes me happy :)

[simondcr]

lol his face is like hes disgusting of what hes playing himself

[farlay]

i think i know how to play better now. just pull faces like Mr Hutchings and the music will flow its all in the face.

[ryanjacko1]

@farlay Haha xD

[TheVisualMagic]

Gotta learn jazz now :D

[Danwhaley4311]

@twistedrock Jazz is a musical language...just like blues...just like rock...just like every other type of music. This would be equivalent of Shakespeare giving a masterclass on great Korean literature. He obviously knows his shit, but doesn't speak the language. What he's "saying" wouldn't be stylistically appropriate...know what I mean? No personal attacks on the musicians intended.  I'm sure Wes Montgomery wouldn't be able to teach an 80's metal workshop lol.

[Danwhaley4311]

@twistedrock What I was saying is that while both players are obviously technically adept musicians, what they are playing is not "jazzy". Last time I checked, shred licks and fast pentatonic runs were not part of the jazz idiom (unless we're talking fusion, which is a different story). To retort your statement, yes you'd be correct. Someone noodling over a blues progression would NOT be playing the blues. Blues is an idiom and has its own style just like jazz does.

[Vietcong101]

@Danwhaley4311 Alex is more on the fusion side but pete was playing pure jazz lines and just because they aren't playing over changes doesn't mean it isn't jazz. 

[danieldude713]

@Danwhaley4311 Can you show me where the fast pentatonic runs and shred licks are in their version of equinox? All I heard was lots of nice jazz lines.

[karimsalhani]

Dear Rob,

Something hit me. Was it jazz or jizz?

Sincerely,

My pants. \m/

[ZomBLord]

Djangostyle!

[kiloch]

more vids like this discussing and explaining various styles would be cool

[Antox14161416]

yeah! this rocks, i mean jazz :P

[heavymetalmaniac616]

@Antox14161416

Swings?

[aleksandersucharski]

suck on this, Yngwie.

[JMcDonnell91]

i could listen to them play all day.

[JMcDonnell91]

simply stunning. two incredible guitar players with such great feel and note choice

[dahudge14]

no fair! Everybody else sounds like a retard when they try to play acoustic guitar like an electric...

[rossslay512]

alex hutchings you legend i love the faces he pulls and he such a good player

[wesmatron]

Hutchings is incredible

[Moltisanti]

this video should be called "You're about to realise that you know nothing, and you're shit at the guitar" :D

Fuck me Hutchings is a monster player!

[strabbs1]

@Moltisanti iam glad iam not theonly one who feels like that!!! hard being mortal aint it!!

[col33145]

Powers of JAZZ

[CDP110]

The lesson I have been waiting for!

[Danwhaley4311]

They're both exceptional guitarists/musicians, but none of that was jazz...Barney Kessel is Jazz guitar. This is just a bunch of noodling over 7th chords.

[BraydonSzafranski]

@Danwhaley4311 Saying what is or isn't jazz is not very jazzy

[begruikersnaam]

@BraydonSzafranski yeah man, you get the point!

[shadowknight132]

@Danwhaley4311

Wait isn't Jazz improvising over 7th chords and other type of chords? So what are you talking about that that isn't jazz.

[twistedrock]

@Danwhaley4311 Well that's like saying any blues player who just noodles over a I IV V isn't playing blues..

[aldricsuan]

wow gotta learn me some jazzzzzz

[FazSaber]

Alex has the best guitar playing face ever! haha even better than Jeff Loomis' "I'm gonna kill you" guitar playing face :)

[viddelt]

How has your opinion been on jazz Chappers??

[FromHalo2halo]

Video bumping Chappers :/

I am disappoint.

[01020498]

amazing !!! just amazing !!!

[Linqua2112]

i dont like the statement "what you are meant to sound like"

[mike31jmb]

Excellent video!

[TheGlowWorm]

Alex is out of this world! Pete is great too. Awesome video!!

[Dreamfullofzen]

Awesome vid. Pure Filth.

[S4dist1cK]

those 2 sound awesome together

[KurtisBrudenell91]

What planet did Alex come from O.O?!

[KainVKail]

dude, fuck hutchings and callard!!! they are way to awesome for me to watch..... 8)

[skleung]

I had such a big grin watching them play :)

[ThyWorshipMetal]

To be Completly Honest. I had no clue about what they were talking about. xL

[GuillermoSmyser]

But when your favorite Jazz guitarists are the likes of Alex Hutchings and Guthrie Govan its still a bit overwhelming.

But one thing I was surprised they didn't mention was that taking a chord progression and adding the 7 to chords (C Am F G becomes C7 Am7 F7 G7) will get you sounding jazzier right away. Not to be confused with major seven for those major chords.

[mattchurchill]

Fantastic vid, well thought out questions too, Chappers nice one (beats 'what is your favourite colour' like in some interviews!). Can someone tell me what tune the boys were jamming around at the start?????

[mthwkln]

Great video!

[StreYdon]

alex hutchings looks like a pirate :D

[taztherocker1]

Excellent video...

[AlexMcshred6505plus]

:0  \m/-_-\m/

[chuffola]

More cowbell



[LiamTrevor]

Best video you have ever posted!

[mashugac]

could've used more cowbell.

[Adamshredsify]

more please

[aoisatan]

Alex is holding a green pick!! THE PICK OF DESTINY!!

[HighVoltagexx]

Like alcohol...

[shreddlord]

@HighVoltagexx haha i dont think alex and pete heard it but i laughed hard :D

[Smrtokvitek]

The best video you've uploaded so far :)

[MichelVonBerlin]

badass palyin' !!!!!!!!!

[charlestheguitarist1]

I just jazzed my pants.

[twittheshred]

Great video =] has helped me emencely.

[seehowirock]

the rate these guys fly through theory with such ease makes me want to take long lessons, with a notepad. Must. Get. Better!

[WannabeGuitarLegend]

Pete Callard has an amazing voice XD

[RobChappers]

@WannabeGuitarLegend It is the most Jazz voice ever, he should do a relaxation CD ;-)

[dddddddddie]

needs more sax.

[RobChappers]

@dddddddddie  Life in general needs more sax ;-)

[TiboukMusiChannel]

@RobChappers You mean sex ? *Schweppes commercial*

[mike31jmb]

@RobChappers LMAO nice!

[6Hellbilly6Deluxe6]

@RobChappers

hijack Guthries... that guy was winalicious.

[heavymetalmaniac616]

@RobChappers

I not only agree with this, but would be perfectly willing to supply said sax... ;-D

[twistedrock]

@RobChappers I know a guy who needs sax :D

[manancikkt]

@dddddddddie oh god..when i read"needs more" i was like.."not another dumb cowbell joke"..but than i saw "sax"...phew.

[tuft125]

That was refreshing :)

[OlegVoronin]

Thank you for this video lesson, and it is such a great thing that you invited them to Andertons!

[petkopeet]

Love that expression on Alex's face when he is playing :P He looks a little bit like Jack Black :D

[Rekilo]

Hutchings is such a dude. Wish I could meet him.

[Raxmole]

i would really like to listen to more and more jazz ... problem is .. i dont know where to begin ... can someone please mention some good artists or bands to whom i can listen to :D thanks :)

[lukeward17]

@Raxmole Some of Miles Davis stuff is excellent.

[bigleemac]

Geat insights there, cheers!

[lauriemonk]

Can you get Tom Quayle and Alex Hutchings to jam together... you might need at least 1 hour of video storage :) If it happens let me know... I could do with a day off work to watch that live :)

[Justasssu]

@lauriemonk Hell yeah, what Laurie said!

Rob, pretty please...

[lauriemonk]

@Justasssu I second that Hell Yeah!

[officervanhalen]

Chappers, I bought myself a Blackstar HT-1R head (with a little Vox 1x10) from Andertons, based on your recommendation. It's balls-to-the-walls awesome.

[flashpadxxx]

are these yamahas ?

[kuringmundo]

videos like this make the world a better place.

[lauriemonk]

stunning! Well done guys! 

[suckit69er]

I actually think Hutch has an edge over Guth. Pete is really good as well I like his style.

[somoshun]

WE WANT MORE JAZZ!!!

:D

[thismika18]

Alex Hutchings! Give me your powers!

[RobChappers]

@thismika18 Djazz \m/

[muzikscud23]

@RobChappers He's practically shredding on an acoustic 0.0

[Norsesky]

Seriously, I was too stunned to reckon whether this is jazz or not. This is splendid playing.

[richvaca]

holy shit thats Alex Hutchings!

[SpeedyFingers]

You guys need to get Tom Quayle & Rick Graham in to do a masterclass like this!

[wackyoneone]

fuck they're good

[RichardGuitarTV]

Please visit my channel people!

I just posted a new video!

Cheers and Subscribe

Btw: Chappers you are my hero

[KhammettJpageAsmith]

THEY ARE FUCKING INCREDIBLE I WANT TO PLAY LIKE THAT. AND MY MAIN STYLES ARE HARDCORE AND METAL!!!!!!!

[Thorbear632]

Both are INCREDIBLE but Alex just blows my mind every time I hear him play!!! And , after watching this, someone actually asked if Alex knows theory..... I just don't think you could move around the fretboard like that without knowing what you're doing!

BTW- anyone else having an issue with the words and mouths matching up?

[pfarina]

this microphone is amazing. =o

[2yearsandcounting]

these guys are both mind blowing,

but alex...

with respect to pete, who is great,

but alex actually makes me want to PLAY jazz.

he physically makes me want to go and buy jazz music!

[zaBleza]

awesome

[tpguitarman96]

does Alex Hutchings know muic theory? or did he take music classes?

[not2stupidguitar]

@tpguitarman96 its pretty safe bet to assume that alex knows music theory. and also that he took classes.

[not2stupidguitar]

i just had a guitargasm

[spmartin]

If there was ever an unintended endorsement for budget Yamaha guitars, this is it!! Just proves that 90% of tone is in the skill and fingers. This is a great format. More interviews with smart talented musicians. Fantastic!!

[TenhoMeideia]

My God, Alex is just out of this world. Such a great player

[caloss2]

very nice, very very nice. How about a Chappers jazz vid ? hehe mediocre !? my hairy arse that was

[markmcguigan]

Callard, Hutchings, Jazz FTW.

Always love seeing and hearing such great players talk about playing.

[MARTINEZGUITAR]

Just Brilhant!!! i´d like to see more of this.

[mean0machine0]

gotta love youtube, people are so quick to insult someone for having a different opinion....

[boneprone00]

Coz I subscribe dude it's just my opinion just don't feel jazz everyones got different tastes and I respect that

[AnchovyRun]

Real cool video Rob, thanks!

[louzarv1]

Hutchings ftw!

[EvanGoss1]

its awesome how they just start playing off the cuff that, nice

[boneprone00]

2 incredible players but jazz bites the big one.hope chappers doesn't go jazz please no more jazz please please please

[twistedrock]

@boneprone00 If you don't like Jazz why are you watching?

[LPalhaGuitar]

im really serious. That was the most usefull lesson i ever watched. Youtube is full of crap, but that was one badass lesson.
