  • someone should play in a library that would be funny

  • i am sick of these motherfuckin guitars on this motherfuckin plane!

  • Oh c'mon! that kid is like 10!

  • I thought that while Fletcher Barton was interesting, and at only 9 or 10 years old. shows a lot of chops, I thought you were better. A bunch of licks solo is cool, but to take those licks and put them into a musical context is what really counts. Fletcher is a phenomenal player and I mean him no disrespect. However I think in terms of musicality and actual useable guitar chops, from what I heard, you are the better player/musician. But that's not what this contest was about, was it?

  • Awesome PRS!

  • i knew ur gonna move on to marshal

  • Comment removed

  • Haha! I want to congratulate you on your success Rob. You have a passionate hater with this bloke and as we all know that's a sure sign of being an absolute bad-ass at something! Congrats!

    ish I had haters as awesome as this dood...

  • All winners were pretty cool I do agree with Rob that Chris' video was smoking. That guy is going to be on stage soon and he has only been playing for 3 years and never had a lesson. WOW! He has a huge future. Can't wait to see who picks him up as he can rock and write!

  • Chrisw did oh so very rock that song. He is incredible. I have seen him on stage and has a serious stage presents too. This guy will go far. It's just a matter of time before someone grabs him! Can't wait to see that!!!!!!!!

  • My first impression on this video was - holy sh%t, your hair is amazing! ) Looks really cool with beard =)

  • "Help Me" it says on the winners list.

    What with I ask?

  • Haha rob you're a legend! dw about all those haters who are jealous that you have many amazing guitars and you're own amazing brand, they just cant handle it! Why give up playing the guitars that inspired the design of your own guitars! ludicrous i say!

    Rock on bro!

  • As your manager, I demand that you accumulate as many guitars as possible and play a different one in each video, just to provoke more ridiculous comments from people who have the horrible misfortune of never being able to say anything nice.

  • @Darfuria ha ha ha ha ;-)

    Done - I really want a Fender Tele actually so maybe I'll see if I can get one of those for some texas death metal \m/

  • @RobChappers Don't forget to contact the guys we met at the Fender booth at NAMM ;)

  • I see your point, but I don't think he's saying one brand is better than another...just reviewing the alternatives. To me that shows confidence in his brand. See what I mean?

    It's like me owning Fender and reviewing Gibsons because I believe that even though I tell you the Gibson is good, I know you'll buy the Fender because it's better. (that's an example lol I don't necessarily think Fender are better than Gibson)

  • youve got really long hair rob nice :D

  • Don't listen to that douche Chappers. He's just trolling because he has no life. Anyone who watches your videos knows your stance on using other guitars, and how highly Chapmans are being thought of already.

  • Comment removed

  • People just grow up, Rob is a pro and can do what he wants. Can you just let him be?? If he wants to play his PRS let him, if he wants to play a Flying V let him, if he wants to play a Squire let him!! Why is it such a big deal he is using a PRS? We have seen him with his V when he's with Stick, nobody freaked out then, why now??

    Bottom line, Let Rob be & play what ever the heck he wants.

  • Look everyone, Chappers is a genuinne rockstar, he can play what he wants. Just because he owns his own guitar brand does not mean he should be limited to what he plays. Owning a brand and having a contract are two different things! Rock on Chappers!

  • Congratulations Fletcher!!!!!!!!!!!

  • you guys need to grow up - seriously. rob can play what he wants because HE IS THE BRAND & hes not ENDORSED BY MONKEYLORD.

  • but now hes a 'free agent', he has his own company YES but that doesnt mean hes endorsed by his own company - his company arent paying him shit to promote the ML1 so why does he have to play the ML1 other then because his company made it & its his own brand of guitar?? hes a guitarist - he plays guitars, he has his own brand of guitar but hes not endorsed by his own brand but still represents his brand because he is the monkeylord & he is a guitarist Hence he can play what he wants

  • when Rob was with ESP - He played ESP guitars because he was ENDORSED by them, same with Orange amps - he went through a phase where all he used was orange amps because he was ENDORSED by them. & the thing with endorsements is you can be seen playing with any other guitar or amp because you are representing the company who are endorsing you - Orange gave rob free or discounted amps. ESP gave him free guitars so he could represent them.

  • Thanks mate, absolutely correct except that Orange never gave me a single amp ;-)

  • @RobChappers blah - tough love. but if thats their business plan to have people such as yourself represent their company & not give you free gear or at least discount on their gear is a bit selfish. hope the endorsement was worth the cash they paid you. or was that one of the reasons why you & orange parted ways?? you were never too clear about the reason behind that move.

  • @FinalFreedomEclipse I wasn't clear about the reasons for my leaving Orange because I don't think it's professional to discuss a company's shortcomings in public - Marshall are everything that Orange were not ;-)

  • @RobChappers, Sorry Master MonkeyLord if you understood irony or maybe offensive content on my comments. I was just saying that you should use your ML1 in all occasions cause i know it has the potential of all that guitars! i'm a huge fan of yours and one of the oldest following you! I just know the ML1 has no limit, and i just can't wait to see how the owners of it will Custom it and improve it so make it more Without limit! Please perdon me if you thought i was being a troll!

  • As a guiatrist one should be accustomed to many different profiles of neck and string gap and using different guitars for different occasions is cool.

    let the dude play whatever he feels like playing - it is that simple.

  • @jerkychid HEY YOU SHADDAP! THE MONKEY LORD DOES AS HE PLEASES, YOU DO NOT PLEASE HIM! and your just being annoying

  • Congratulations Fletcher!!! Hope you enjoy your endorsement.

  • shred interlude!xD

  • put the links of winners video please!

  • Congratulations everyone!

  • Thanks to everyone for all the positive words to Fletcher!!! He thinks this was the most fun competition ever & hats off to all that entered!!!

    Joy (a.k.a. Fletcher's mom) =)

  • *eagerly awaits next competition*

  • well done to the winner that was great in a plane that is great i would have never thuoght of that and well done to the others as well congrates =P

  • He should have played a FLYING V!

    *terrible joke*

  • @gitarmats sad face... i play a v

  • how would playing at paintballing do?? i had that idea but was afraid for my guitar :(

  • Fletcher crawling up into the luggage stow-away was the icing on the cake! When I saw that, I said yep he's in! He works hard and deserves it! Good work to the kid!

  • you just seem more chilled and content with a Custom 24 in your arms :D

  • where can i watch the winners video i cant seem to find him :(

  • @Ibik watch?v=MDm7Hvq3OpM

  • im sharpening my axe

  • :(:(:( I spend 2 days, played in 3 places and burned an amp to enter and I didin't get anything?

  • That could be the sexiest guitar ever, in the history of guitars, and sexy things in general. Its a wonder you didn't fizz over just playing it.........lol

  • Congrats winners - well deserved :)

  • thought i was in with a shout

  • Where's the JVM? :( </3

  • Cheers to the winners. I'll get it next time ;)

  • Nice!

  • The man can play whatever he wants to.

    Congrats to all the winners. I want to see the look on the face of the airline officials when they were asked if the kid could crawl up in the overhead bin and play.

  • Meh... that's my response.

  • Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.

  • Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit..

  • My Man Fletcher!!!! Way to go young man!!

    And this is just the early stages still of things yet to come for you!!

    Give your parents a special hug and then get back to jammin!

  • People should chill about him playing the PRS instead of the ML1. It's a sexy ass guitar, let him have his moments with it.

    On a more relevant note: Guitar on a plane? That's intense, and I'd love to know how he pulled that one off.

  • @fletcher: apparently the highest wins :) haha congrants

  • So when does this new competition (with marshall and megadeth i think) start or when will there come a video with information about the competition :D?

  • not to be bitter. but i personally don't think a plane is that original. just symbolizes you have money.

  • i think you'll find that Mr Chappers would not have actually built a guitar that's sh it mate, are you mad?

  • Sir Chappers.. The Whiteboard.. Explain please!

  • Hint, next competition involves Megadeth

  • I think what hes showing off the gift that he got. He likes that guitar and it was given to him by a friend. He loves it because of that same reason. He just is using it as a shout out to his friend. He loves the guitar and its a gift, dont blame him.

  • He had a PRS before actually looked a little bit like this, i just saw this comment and made me comment; Jerky Child: ...so let me guess... "I have decided to give up my company Chapman Guitars for a PRS endorsement again. Chapman Guitars is a great company but I can no longer be affiliated with them in good consciousness"

  • @809Metallica Would you like to play one guitar for the rest of your life? I don't think so, so lay off Chappers. He plays the ML-1 plenty.

  • I wouldn't like to play one guitar for the rest of my life. Two would work just fine thank you.

  • what? he uses'em all the time! several vids he's playing his, #01

  • @809Metallica That PRS was a gift.

    Guitarwise, they're both great, and if I had either I'd be happy.

    Politically speaking. The ML1 has his name on it, and the PRS was a gift. Two good reasons why he plays both.

  • Nah he got that PRS as a present from one of his endorsers (or well, he shot videos for them alot) he can't please everyone so he just picks guitars =p he just has way to many to satisfy everyone

  • Check Rob's other videos, he is obviously very proud of his ML-1. Does that mean he can't play anything else? Get your head out of your ass!

  • @809Metallica Come on man... We know the ML-1 is good and all but let's face it. A 300 quid guitar cannot be compared to a sub 2000 guitar. If you were to choose between the two what would you go?

    ...Right...

  • @809Metallica dude stop trollin

  • Are you stupid or something? So if you have two or more guitars and change between them suddenly every other guitar you own becomes a "piece of shit"?

    Kids...

  • well,just saying,the ml1 is a GREAT guitar,and probably the BY FAR best I've seen for the price,it's fucking good,but it just might not be like a 4k+ guitar,no offense,the ml is worth a good k+ in quality,at least,because it was designed a canvas ^^

    and they aren't really comparable,different types of guitars entirely,maybe the PRS is just better suited for some things

    and you will find much more expensive stuff than PRS or gibson

    but i think i heard some irony in you comment,or am i mistaken?

  • Wow, playing guitar in an airplane? That's one of the most metal things I've ever seen.

  • twas flight 666 haha

  • hahaah goood coment

  • lol, i was about to say, "iron maiden did it!"

  • did he use an airplane flanger for the irony?

  • ...so let me guess... "I have decided to give up my company Chapman Guitars for a PRS endorsement again. Chapman Guitars is a great company but I can no longer be affiliated with them in good consciousness"

  • Unbelievable - I've read some ridiculous comments in my time, but really man...

    I own a guitar company, I also own 16 other guitars that I will continue to play because I love guitars, I will always use the best guitar for the job whether it's a Fender, PRS or Chapman. That is all.

  • @RobChappers But Rob no matter what your reasons it gives others little faith in your company if you don't use your own stuff.

  • I do use my own stuff, for example in Hollywood when I recorded Breath - I would never tell anyone to be exclusive to one guitar brand unless they absolutely wanted to be. The holy trinity of LP, S and T type guitars are classic tones that I would recommend every guitarist to use, as the owner of Chapman Guitars I would actively encourage guitarists to not stick to one brand of guitar - that would be limiting yourself tonally.

  • @RobChappers i have plenty of faith in his company... even if he does play other guitars... it doesnt really matter at the end of the day. Just because he has started his own company and has a signiture guitar, doesn't mean he's gonna just hang up his huge collection of other amazing axes now does it? Rob, is there any chance of you posting up some links of the winners? wouldnt mind watching the runners up and winner announced! Thanks.

  • I have faith in my guitars, and I am confident enough in them to say "use other brands as well" because Chapman is just one of many great guitar brands.

    Chapman Guitars is about freedom of choice and power to the people

  • @RobChappers

    I understand that Rob it's just that YOU don't stick to YOUR brand. You said when you were with ESP you were with them because they could give you anything you wanted. Now that you are promoting a brand with literally your name on it I just thought you would be comissioning protypes for yourself to use and others to vote on rather than using other brands.

  • @JerkyChid He's can use what ever he wants. He has used it in so many of his videos. It also may no have been what he wanted to play at the time

  • @RobChappers Look at it this way. If someone that knew nothing about you was introduced to you with the closing remark "By the way, he owns his own guitar brand!" the one being introduced to you would be very puzzled when they see you not using a Chapman guitar

  • bleh - I meant you CANT be seen playing any other brand of instruments or amps if you have an endorsement.

  • @JerkyChid did you not notice in tons of other videos he's been playing and promoting the Chapman brand? and anyway, the guy can do what he wants, and if he wants to use other brands as well as the chapman that's his decision, not yours.

  • @macdell12

    and as soon as he got a new guitar it was like he stopped caring.

  • @JerkyChid Personally, anyone who also recommended other companies equipment is worth listening to. It says to me that he is that confident about his own products that he is willing to show you the alternatives, confident that you will still buy his own products because they are better quality/value.

    Also, it means he isn't trying to push his own products at you but is offering you a genuine and professional opinion.

    That sort of thing is worth its weight in gold.

  • @wesmatron

    You see, I know I can trust Rob's opinion on gear because he will use whatever, BUT that means I CAN'T trust his guitar brand if he would rather play something else outside of the studio or when reviewing.

  • Troll much? Go away.

  • @matt420740 I'm providing opinion not gibberish; and you're providing blind fanboyism. I've been subbed to Chappers ever since his very first vids and expressing how I feel. Can you say the same or are you just going to do as others tell you?

  • I don't agree. If you are into guitars, you know two important things. First of all, you have emotional relations to some of your instruments. This is the case here - if you don't believe me, just watch his other videos and read the older comments. Secondly, you'll notice that all guitars have a different kind of tonality, and you'll use different guitars to create different sounds. This doesn't mean that his own brand is not good enough.

  • @SomethinWild Imo the 2 MAIN things you need to know as a guitarist is, Practice makes perfect and start slow work your way up to fast.

  • @BoL7zy Right, but this has nothing to do with what I said. I spoke about emotional relationship to your instruments and not about practicing.

  • @SomethinWild

    I agree, and it makes sense to use different guitar in the studio but when you are trying to get a company off the ground to play something else just because makes little sense to me.

    Neal Moser plays Moser Custom Shop guitars.

    Bernie Rico Jr plays Bernie Rico Jr guitars.

    These owners and luthiers use their instruments because they feel they can smoke anything else and are proud to showcase them.

  • @JerkyChid

    Dude, shut the fuck up, really. It was his newest guitar, of course he is going to be using it. You know your wrong, but you can't stand to be proven wrong.

  • @superjesus117

    I know I'm right. I'm right because Rob made a new videos only using the ML1 and setting it up to seem like he uses it more than he does and added a montage of him with his other guitars to poke at me and others when he doesn't support his own company to the fullest. I also know I'm proven right because too many people are blind by being fanboys and make short little comments and insults like yourself rather than having a real argument.

  • I was not poking at anyone mate - Don't take things so seriously ;-)

  • Thanks Wesmatron - This sums up the situation perfectly ;-)

  • @RobChappers dam striaght chappers :D u have achieved so much so quickly

  • @JerkyChid You're a fucking idiot shut up

  • @Grecian92

    Yes yes, I'm an idiot because I have an opinion.

  • @JerkyChid That wasn't an opinion. You weren't stating an opinion.

  • @JerkyChid dude stop trollin

  • @metallicat511

    Answer me this, how am I trolling?

  • Or he was given that PRS and wants to use it?

  • I knew I forgot to do something...

  • what a terrible amp marshall has lost it

  • @Taygoo15 just coz it costs $1000 doesnt mean its bad

  • @ranga5110 modekling and no preamp tubes and effects in an amp sounds like a little japanese kids amp.

  • @Taygoo15  its perfectly fine

  • I'm happy that the kid won.
