Tibetan Cloud Dream - By Rob Chapman LTD FX401

[ThomasSukhoi]

There needs to be a lesson on this masterpiece

[Rockstarshredder101]

chappers i know you work with esp but i have a serious question i am trying to decide on a USA jackson or a ESP which would you say would be more worth the money or are better guitars

[ravenshield56]

wow, I dont know much about music theory, but its totally satchish :D loveit!

[PantomimeHorseMusic]

One of my favorite guitar instrumentals. This is right up there with anything Satch has ever done.

[ManowarFan1985]

You combinate shredding and fun with tons of feeling in this song and that`s what makes it brilliant.

[sbvikings30]

win to the awesomewells gods!

[kellyisvlogging]

fuck ur amazing

[CyanBloody]

Wow!! That's just awesome!

Do you have the tabs of this song?

[goodguitaristatmetal]

[dustinleblancrock]

[mitchell797979]

tibetan cloud monky :P

[PyroDog89]

what an amazing piece of music. rob is probably THE best guitar-player out there.

[suckit69er]

CHapady dappers, i have waited since your dimarzio sponsorship vid for a demo of this axe with dimarzios, please man, HURRY!

great work on phantom power btw. fucking tune.

[Leviskardsen]

@suckit69er He's already tried the Dimarzios, he said the EMG's were better on that particular guitar.

[STRATOCASTER1992]

WOW, i'm sure the Tibetan Monks would be proud to have you record their official anthem

[AmethystMusic1]

Chappers, HUGE fan please tell me what settings you used or more importantly the effects you have going on here :)

[EvilFrees]

Love this guitar!

... and I've got some new ideas from your solo, thanks! :)

[Goose461]

This is awesome, although a better backing track would sweeten the deal a little bit.

[nichklok]

oh my god man

this is probally the greatest solo albums of all time

ps i bought it twice

pps u are my hero

[TimsterBros]

pretty noice. i play th same guitar, gotta love it :O

[silntkilla47]

[TimsterBros]

[Mackolonium]

Such a beautiful track! Amazing what one can do with guitars.

Hats off for Chappers!

[FeelTheFight]

Beautiful sound, what position of switch do You use?

[grassmower83]

Watch;) Bridge.

[scott7d]

I don't want to seem like I am verbally fluffing you. But, there is no reason this tune shouldn't make you world famous. This one of the most soothing progressions and melodies I have ever heard.

[RobChappers]

@scott7d Wow thanks mate ;-)

[scott7d]

@RobChappers 8 months later, and I still listen to this multiple times a day!

[dysfonction86]

@RobChappers hey rob that's amazing. where i can get the tab of this song thx dude

[GigaClutch]

@scott7d satriani got there first i think but i still dont think chappers has been recognised enough because he is a slice of win pie ^-^

[benjthorn]

Love the tune but the little space invader freaks me out

[DanteTh3Devil]

Great preformance BIG Chap... :)

I see you loved this guitar...I loved her too!!

So i think i should get one next summer...it worths right?

And i think it would be better with +2 more frets...

but anyway it Rocks!!!

Rock on!!! xD

[ShredReviews]

And while I think about it...Cacophony/Friedman solo outings.

Killer tone as well ^^

[ShredReviews]

I keep being reminded of Thin Lizzy in some of the harmony parts - that's pretty awesome :D

[Satch2424]

Absolutely stunning Sir Chappers. You should totally be knighted

[RobChappers]

Thanks mate, really appreciate that :-)

[illusionfreak]

Every time I see this video, I have to rate it 5 stars. It's that damn amazing. One of my favorites of all time.

[1994AaronSmithcars]

Hi Rob could you please help me with something every time l bend a string it all ways makes the string above ring out why

[RobChappers]

I have a video on youtube to help you fix that. Search "Chappers muting lesson" ;-)

[KvinFreak]

yeah jack burton behind ^^

[PleaseExplode]

dude you rule!! haha i love this song!

[RobChappers]

Thanks mate, I will now explode \m/

[XMitsuhideX]

Mmm, still my favourite track of yours, Rob!

[schwarg]

big trouble in little china hahahaha YES!!!

[Jacko11120]

Awesome Film

[JOEZEPPI1968]

very fluid and smooth with the right amount of distortion to keep it interesting great track man your playing has got me really trying to play better thanks for posting happy subscriber here

[lpunknown]

where abouts in wiltshire do you live?

[RobChappers]

Trowbridge ;-)

[lpunknown]

kool! i only live about 20 miles away in amesbury :)

[NineteenNinety5]

Awesome Chappers!

[jawadahmad77]

You should do a brief instructional vid on the main lick.

[326AM]

you made this yourself??

[RobChappers]

Yes mate, this from my EP "Red dream" :-)

[XMitsuhideX]

I've gotta say Rob, those Oranges just ooze tone. You think this tone is possible with a Tiny Terror?

[Timzsk8]

HEckyes!

[M1nstr3l]

tiny terror is a lot "fizzier" than the rockerverb from what i heard...

[roguenoobkiller]

by this you show that you dont have to use a 2 thousand dollar guitar to rock like a pro

[RobChappers]

Absolutely true!! Some of my favourite guitars have been very cheap :-)

[StiffNips13]

Hey man, where do live? I'm interested in getting some guitar lessons.

[RobChappers]

Hi mate, I am based in Wiltshire UK :-) Email me for further details.

[glassprisoner417]

funny thing is bud...that from far away you strike me as a lemmy look alike

[RobChappers]

ha ha OMG...

[bladzerok]

Wow i really like the melody that progress over the whole song!, and the overdubbing and drums are sounding great!

this rockerverb has quite a lot of gain, are you boosting it with a pedal?

[RobChappers]

Thanks mate, no pedals just Me - Guitar - Amp :-)

[jawadahmad77]

Best stuff youve done - that riff is like crack, or frito lays. You want MORE!!!

[RobChappers]

Ha ha.. thanks man, I might use that quote in my advertising! "Riffs as addictive as Crack... or potato chips"!!! ha ha

[DaTimeHat]

Oh wow, make it so!

[mjwoodworth]

haha, seeing as you have a nack for getting endorsed, you should get endorsed by pringles, and say "Riffs as addictive as Crack... or pringles!!!"

That way you'd get free pringles!

[lasttank]

You should make a lesson of it!

that would be amazing i want to learn it! you're a very good guitarist!

[RobChappers]

Cheers mate! :-)

[Hazardousglee]

Chappers i was wondering if you could do a free youtube lesson on playing fast on the left hand and how to gain the ability to play faster?

[okamasphere]

Watch his economy picking lesson

[Hazardousglee]

THanks

[Hazardousglee]

Thanks for thinking of the little guys mate... I really appreciate it...

[lighteningboy]

How old is your house? Are you married? Are you a car nut like Jeff Beck? Do you dislike the Scottish? Have you ever gotten pasted on Canadian beer?

[RobChappers]

My house is a 17th century cottage, I am married to a stunning little curly haired chick, I have no idea about cars at all, I am from a Scottish clan (Sutherland) and I got married in Canada and absolutely wrecked on Sleeman beer :-)

[lighteningboy]

I got married in Edinburgh, but I got wrecked on Guinness...

[ilikezappa]

I got wrecked in Edinburgh and I am married to Guinness. Coincidence ?

[lighteningboy]

Cheers! haha

[Hazardousglee]

Chappers i'd love to purchase your lessons I strongly believe in supporting great artists such as yourself... but on the other hand i have no money... I'm playing on a borrowed guitar, for the love of God... : )

[RobChappers]

That's ok mate, I am making lots of very cheap lessons soon.. Cheap like £2 cheap!

Also Youtube is ram packed full of awesome free lessons :-)

[Hazardousglee]

Chappers can anyone play wicked fast like you?

cause I'm getting into metal and neoclassical and I'm not satisfied with progress in speed, i don't understand i practice play almost all day.

[RobChappers]

Yeah mate, anyone can play fast it's just about practicing the right way and having good clean technique ;-) Maybe check out some of my video lessons from themonkeylordDOTCOM

[freyaddicted]

doesn't your t-shirt get really really dirty from all that excessive wearing, or do you have more than one ? :P

[GuitarCrazyManiac]

You are my idol, even all the way up there with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai and Paul Gilbert and Eddie Van Halen! You are up there with them! You are literally one of the reasons I decided to play guitar! If you hadn't played guitar, neither would I! Thanks for everything, your wonderfull music, your great sense of humor, your epicness and being full of win! LONG LIVE THE MONKEY LORD!

[RobChappers]

Thanks mate, your support is greatly appreciated :-)

[GuitarCrazyManiac]

Woweey, quick reply, mate! (haha, I'm not from the UK, I'm from America! Mate!) :-)

[GuitarCrazyManiac]

And btw, what's the song at the very beginning?

[surtursfire]

Dude, PLEEASE make a lesson of this! I know somebody must agree with me.

[RobChappers]

I need at least 8 more dudes to want this, if you can find them I will shoot the video and sell it for download from my store :-)

[bbreeg26]

i would also like to learn this song. now you got 2 dudes :-)

[Phishiz]

[byrnrob1]

[peelopuu]

[RobChappers]

[GuitarCrazyManiac]

I don't know which dude I am, but I NEED THIS!!!!! =D I think I'm 4! 4 MORE TO GO PEOPLE!!

[GuitarCrazyManiac]

wait, 2 to go! =D

[Sokton89]

Your epicness really can't be measured, Rob! Absolutely awesome feel, tone and playing! This tune among many others shows your awesome creativity and is definitely one of my faves : )

Cheers!

[RobChappers]

Thanks mate! I really appreciate your support :-)

[trinitysamurai]

oh daym rob's been tankin upp lol

[stymye]

most excellent playing..also looks like you have been eating well.!

[JerkyChid]

Is that wooshing sound your reverb experiencing too much win? Even the most miniscule amount of win does it to mine.

[InventionOfThought]

Epic Win.

[smp156]

shouldn't the "monkeylord" be using Rock Monkey pickups?

[wes94]

rock monkey are the shit

[smp156]

i'm unfamiliar with the hopped-up, boogie-down lingo

does that mean that being "... the shit ..." is a good thing or bad?

i just think that since both the Monkeylord and Rock Monkey are in the same country. it would only stand to measure.

[bigleemac]

Really nice rob! Your style is so effortless its great to listen to and watch, rawk on!!

strange axe tho, looks like the love child of an explorer and a butchers block!

[iampilot2008]

Awsome Chappers!!.. I think the FX401 has a bit of a thin tone though.. Well compaired to your glorious PRS days.. ;) :P

[titusibenjamin]

Rob this is awsome i like the doubles part :)) whose playin the other guitar ???.........i downloaded the song :)

[Niallissoawesome]

I firmly believe you are the win-i-est person on the You Tubes, why don't you apply for YouTube partnership, then you could profit from these videos.

Keep up the awesome vids.

Moar win than a windigo!

[RobChappers]

Thanks mate, never thought about that :-)

[InventionOfThought]

You should ALWAYS think about money ;)

[ice9001]

I am on that cloud now .

[Hazardousglee]

Chappers- what's the scale sequence you use at 1:12 ?

[RobChappers]

pattern of 6 down a C Major I think...

[theblackpiglet]

Whatever it is, It is the pattern of win :-)

[Hazardousglee]

so you play a sequence of the notes G# G F D# D C A# G# G F D# D and ended on the root note right?

[RobChappers]

Not quite mate... The scale is G, F#, E, D, C#, B, A, G, F#, E, D

Hope that helps, it's just a D major scale - functioning as F# Phrygian. The tune is mostly D Major Pent, F# Dorian and G Lydian.

[Hazardousglee]

ah ha i see that makes sense; i have a Question-the Yngwie Malmsteen song "i am a viking" is based around E harmonic minor right?

[Hazardousglee]

thanks really helps...

[M4774NJ4H]

OMG Chappers with Explo style guitar! ;D

[MaskedEmrys]

Hey, Rob. Do you know anything about Rockfield Black Betty pups? Specifically how they compare to EMG 81/85 combos. I've just bought a Michael Kelly Hex Deluxe without knowing much about the pups (it's hard to find anything at all about them!), and figured it was worth it to at least ask.

[RobChappers]

Sorry mate, never heard them before :-)

[MaskedEmrys]

Ah, thanks anyway! I guess I'll just have to try them out... but who can complain about that?

[weston758]

chappers, im just wondering if ur still endorsed with PRS, or did u just switch to esp

[RobChappers]

Hi Weston, I signed with ESP while I was in USA at the NAMM show in Jan.

[LightningStrat]

Wonderful.

And either I'm unknowingly on LSD or you seem to have a magical t-shirt xD!

[RobChappers]

It must be the drugs mate ;-)

[LightningStrat]

Lollerskates. xD

Rob, you rock stupendously. :)

[insatanwetrustslave]

My favourite song from Red Dream :)

Truly kick ass playing Chappers!

[WheresMyCake]

Fake! This is played in the key of W-minor, which can only be played by left-handed Armenians with testicular moles.

Just kidding Chappers, this was a great listen and strangely fun to watch you perform. Cheers!

[RobChappers]

Ha ha.. You missed off.. is the Tiny terror loud enough to gig with!!! :-)

[mojo292]

What a great song this is mate, fantastic tone!! Ahhh...the trusty Rockerverb 50!

[IbanezGuitarGuy15]

seriously.. how can you do this?

4 minutes and 21 seconds of pure win.

[WeCanInwardsSing]

*Dies of overdose of win*

[VampireAmplifier]

dooo dooo dooooo dooooooooo (8)

[Fiarzen]

1:04 ??? what happens to his shirt lol

[PYROSF]

idk what you're talking about.

you must be on something.

[ManifestPanda]

5/5 brilliant my dear chappers, why yes i do say quite brilliant indeed.

[coulsonsam87]

chappers your the man, awesome feel and technique! did you get my message this time?

[RobChappers]

Got it buddy, just replying!!

[coulsonsam87]

hey chappers, not sure if my youtube is working so good, could you send it again?

[ChaosReaper101]

Beautiful. Hey Rob, what's with all these "cloud dream" songs?... First, Red and now Tibetan? Does this have anything to do with the 12 metric tons of pot you smoke on a daily basis? ;)

[Chulkov89]

Awesome stuff as usual.

Very clean playing.

[sportsportsport]

3:20 the awesome oral movements of win.. lol. It didn't keep me jizzing in the pants the whole time, ..but your my favorite youtuber guitarist!!!!!!! amazing.

[ErectionAtSchool]

Man, you're so fucking awesome \=

[Hailstonedpikachu]

awesome soulful soloing, totally gave the feeling of a "tibetan cloud dream", nice quirky kind of metallic breathy kind of thing in the background, epic win, nice one monkey lord!

[billmeedog]

Epic BASS-LINE Chappers! Dishing gobs of "Big-Bottom" and "Brown-Note" prejudice! (he-he!)

Seriously, ROCKING Chappers! Cool/Interesting harmonies, super tone (as usual) and most of all, YJM looking over your shoulder to make sure that you never SUCK ASS!

Digging the AWESOME Monkey Lord Vibe!!!

Until the next EPIC......

[13yrsofrage]

i downloaded the whole ep last week (yeah i know its a bit late!) totally wins ass!

[JohnTheGodOfBiscuits]

I like your big trouble in little china poster! This song is one of my faves from Red Dream, you've added some extra harmonics in this if i am not mistaken?

[erenoi]

Chappers. What can I say. I've wwatched all of your video's and you have turned me into a massive fan. lol, i refresh my youtube homepage to check if you've uploaded any new vids.

Humor, great playing, Valuable skills to be learned and best of all, your musical style is brilliant. CHEERS BRO.

[RobChappers]

Thanks man, I really appreciate everyones support! I'm in the process of finishing this new EP and shooting "Music videos" for the three tracks so lots on the horizon :-)

[simonhenny]

Chappers you've long since surpassed Gustavo Guerra as my fave on youtube. Your playing, tone, production and sense of humour are all superb! I plan to invest in some of your instructional material in the near future. Keep up the good work dude \m/

[RobChappers]

Wow... thanks mate, that means a lot to me :-)

[Ricardojr118]

[kirkhetfieldtrujillo]

[GENEofthebombharvest]

insane as always rob....respect

[JMcDonnell91]

Aaaaalso chappers, can i ask you if you put a copyright on you work before you upload it to youtube? cos ive a composition or two id like to put up but im afraid someone around the world will take it and use it as part of theirs.

[JMcDonnell91]

Waow thats amazing, love the eerie-ness of it!

[harmonic12th]

4 mins 21 secs of WIN!! Complete with Monkey Lord hypnotic head sway and knee bend.. A bucket of the finest coleslaw for you Sir....

[RobChappers]

Ha ha.. I can't play unless my knees are bent.. it kinda grounds me... Also I play better with my eyes closed??!! Weird huh?

[harmonic12th]

Who give s a s*it if its weird or not - I'd happily do all of those things and more if it meant I could play like that!!! Great playing, great tune and great harmonies!!! Lovin your work Rob!!!!

[SonuPeters]

Yep it's obvious

Chappers FTW!!!

[illusionfreak]

Chappers, I love it man. You should really do a lesson on it. I would love to learn to play that bud.

[RobChappers]

Thanks mate, yeah I may do if I get enough interest :-)
