[ArkAngelHFB]

Dude what happened to the black tunning heads. T_T

I don't want to spend $200US on the black Grover RotoGrip just so I can the classy and IMO much better looking black tunning head... (I'm already grabbing some custom knobs for the pots)

Rob is there anyway I could get the black heads without spending a $200US?

(Side note, just how much better are the Grover RotoGrip Locking Machine Head, than the stock heads?)

[ArkAngelHFB]

Dude what happened to the black tunning heads. T_T

[godlikecharacta]

i just received some SIK PIKS from their website and the D55 is fucking awesome! I've found the plectrum created for me

[TacoWhitey]

incredibly clean picking. maybe a difficult question to answer, but how are you making that tremolo pick so clean and fast?

[nomad1187]

Your one finger has more tallent than my whole body!! However I would like to give one of those picks a try. Are they avalible in stores yet? The axe is nice. I like how they left the wood "naked". As always the playing is just fanominal. I watch your vids for insparation, and drive for my guitar learning jurney. Keep shredding Rob, cuz we love it!!

[00Dakka]

so good chappers and bumblefoot didnt want to use them!

[legendsveil]

What are the Pickups?

and whats the price of the Guitar and Pickups?

[pinguferrari]

I actually thought "man, I gotta get one of those picks" when I saw the BBF video of yours, for a number of reasons. 1. I am trying to learn fast-picking like Shawn Lane, but my hand wont let me turn the pick like that comfortably.

2. Being a huge BBF fan, I did indeed buy his signature guitar, but I have found that my picks actually kinda mess up my playing on this particular guitar, but it looks like these work with it.

The ML guitars look stunning, keep it up, and keep on practicing! \m/

[ScArKiLLa45]

how does this pick work with rhythm playing, like Killswitch Engage type stuff?

[PrestonsGuitars]

ML2 BEST GUITAR EVER MADE!!!!!!



[JHil35]

Rippin Nice guitar was looking up on how to get one I am ready to veer off from the norm of LP's find something more zoned to a solo player instrument. Thanks for the vid and have to try those picks out !

[humbecker]

hi man

you are just great

how about a demo on v picks

and

red bear picks ( govans choise)

[ByronWebb1]

that pick makes your ml2 sounds SICK! the pick of destiny used with an epic win of a guitar

[jazzpark23]

dude i want a ML2 guitar! i also wanna learn to shred like the Monkey lord himself, alas though im a a prisoner to the boxes of pentotonic minor scale!

[Joshmv14]

You sir are awesome :D

I want your guitar -_____- Would you send it with the pick if I win? ;)

You have a killer tone, guitar and you're an awesome guitarist :)

[Joshmv14]

You sir are awesome :D

I want your guitar -_____-

Btw.. Could you upload a lesson on your speed runs? Like a bit after 0:19

[Joshmv14]

@RobChappers

You sir.. Are... Awesome ;) Killer tone.. What are you using?

At 0:19 was that legato??

Could you do a lesson on it?

[RobChappers]

@Joshmv14 No dude I'm picking all of it ;-)

[Alejandro4891]

hey rob, i've got a question. does the bridge of your guitar ever get in the way of your picking hand? i've recently bought a les paul and i've had to change the positioning of my hand to be able to adjust.

[RobChappers]

@Alejandro4891 Hi mate, you shouldn't really find that the bridge get's in the way, rest your picking hand palm just after the bridge and not on top of the bridge.

Go watch some Slash and see what he does... ;-)

[MrNinjapenguin666sk8]

that is a sexy guitar. plain and simple

[jjulch]

Great looking guitar! I bet those pic's help the pinch harmonics!

[maneatingtoilets]

Rob, I smelled your finger. Since that moment I have been shrouded in an existence reminiscent of the world that solipsism ushers towards us. With only the scent of a Chappers/pizza/caffeine index finger surrounded by infinite nothingness, crafted by my own self ......(I'm bored and this paragraph was purely fiction in case you need reassurance)

[DELIVERORDIE97]

i want a sik pik because im hungry and I really want to take a bite out of that ML2 :D

you can drink coffee off of that piece of wood of awesomeness ;-)

[DragonSuushi]

how does teh hypnotic jedi voice know that i want to buy an ml2 ITS IN MY HEAD T_T

[flatoutguitarist617]

ahhhhhhhh i want pick

[ishopatvons]

Chappers is the Marshall JCM 2000 DSL combo any good?

[edwardvhalen]

I believe i should get one, just because i want to experiment with something new, and if i get one perchance i will post my first vid of me shredding with said pick, and mayhaps even give the new, beautiful ml2 a nice plug :P

[vendettav15]

hey The Paperface himself reporting. sik picks for sik guitarists huh? ;)

[toplak666]

Pick plzzz! Just kidding! Your finger smells delicious!

[Nickelbroken]

Hi there chappers, I've got a very stupid question for you...

Is it ok to screw all of the screws of my Wilkinson trem all the way down to the wood when I've hardtailed my ML1?

Cuz' I'm hardtailing it right now...

[RobChappers]

@Nickelbroken  Yeah that's fine mate ;-)

[LinkwitzRiley]

Hi Chappers (and Hi all you Chpper-Viewers :-) )

am i mistaken or do press the strings with your right hand very softly?

it looks like youre barely touching them.

i think this is the main thing that holds me from getting faster,

i have to press the strings really hard (i think) and thats of course very slow...

can you (or anybody else here) halp me with that?

greets!

[CallumPocock]

I don't want to know where that finger has been! :o

[tghoopz]

I've ordered a few Sik Piks from the website after being quite interested in their potential from watching this video. One of my concerns is that are pinch harmonics possible with these picks? Because I thought of the odd "corkscrew" shape of the pick and how exactly you'd be able to pull of pinch harmonics with that.

[kesx]

Many may already know this, but the whole idea behind the sik pik was to make a pick where the tip of the pick is turned completely sideways. If you have ever turned your normal pick sideways you'll see it glides up and down the strings much better. I tried them and I'm really hooked on them.

[OfficiaIpodUser]

wait who won for the other competition?

[Trevorcjx]

How much do you sell that guitar for almighty Monkey Lord?

[Amnesiam]

"GOODNESS ME"

[ciegaobsesion]

Beautiful guitar you have there.

[metalicman57200]

Chappers I would like you to answer this question (which by the way has nothing to do with this video) .

I am going to buy a new guitar soon and I would like to know which brand you prefer : Ibanez or ESP ??!

[RobChappers]

@metalicman57200 I like ESP better than Ibanez, I still love Ibanez guitars though! Especially those new longer scale one which are great ;-)

[BostonWidowers]

@metalicman57200 I prefer Chapman, it pwns both ESP and Ibanez =]

[SomethinWild]

@metalicman57200 Forget them and buy an ML Ghost Fret ;-))

[STERNrogering]

That tone is just awesome!

[baddutchz]

Your finger is finger picking good!

[Stratocasterfreak]

Great ML 2 Chap's the Picks Shoot, Faster then Clint Eastwood Magnum 44Q

Keep on Picking !

[morg405]

monkey christ please clean your desk

[iambobrock]

you rock chapman

[iMaaGeZ]

Yo man I need one of those picks to make some eargasmic music :D..

P.S. I love your playing, its like God and Chuck Norris had a baby.

P.P.S. Your finger smells like it usually does on a Chappers sunday morning.

[MM14JR]

I have a feeling that when chappers said 'pizza' he meant to say something else

Rob this is an intervention

[13thorderbass]

Hey Chappers, I just ordered one of those and I had a quick question. How do they compare to Dunlop Jazz III's?

[llwayneio]

iv been wanting to get those picks for a while but dont have the funds. nice to hear that they are as good as i thought they would be

[bennettskb555]

I wonder what your guitars sound like without meltdown amp drive settings?

[musicman19191]

A pick of WIN.

[smaschmann]

Please check my F50 demo, on my channel!

[MBAZ100]

Hey man, I know you can customise the ML2. Is it possible to have coil-taps and a magic button to send the pickup straight to the output like Guthrie "Jesus" Govan has on his win machine ?

[GodzillaEatsMeat]

First of all,

That guitar looks like it was carved by satan himself

Secondly,

I belive satan carved it using one of those very picks

I think the pick should go to me because in your hands it could bring around an early apocalypse, it would be safer with me ;)

[filipdinev1]

Chappers, we could post a cooment without even knowing that you are giving those picks.Obviously, those pick don't mean a lot to you, because it's the same situation with me.But one thing means to me. and that is having your newest videos on the homepage of Youtube.It's not just the videos, but your whole approach to the new music world.You definately showed us how the guitar world moves.Dude, you built 2 sucessfull guitars in front of our eyes..These are the things which make me appreciate you

[filipdinev1]

by ''2 sucessfull guitars'' I mean that you made them sell and you showed us the way! So, thank you ;)

[JMcDonnell91]

i hope you havnt closed the periphery picks competition, i won't be able to film my entry video until the weekend :\

[federfuchsCh]

Perhaps the divine family of the Monkey Lord is so kind to ask the venerable Lord to give me one of these divine gifts, because there is no one on earth, who is worthy to ask theMonkey Lord himself

[iknowDavenMC]

Does the pick work well for fast power chord progressions (lots of fast palm muted strumming), or does it work better when used exclusively for shredding?

[heavymetalmaniac616]

I think Chappers just found the pik od destiny.

[godlikecharacta]

I use my phantom powers to look at your finger of WIN and saw all the souls of the picks you have shredded through hovering over it!

[cderycke]

$27 for 4 SIc Picks including shipping the UK! :(

[jake7doyle]

picks seem like an interesting idea, i planned to buy a few to try them out until it turns out they want $15 postage to uk

[goodguitaristatmetal]

It makes me happy.

Always.

Forever.

[FifteenCharLong]

Is it harder to do picksqueals / pinch harmonics with these? o.o I'm considering buying a few to try 'em out.

[MrTC56]

Just received a "selection" of picks from Sik Pik (inspired to find them after your NAAM report). Could you have a word with "the Captain" to see if he would stock them? Keep up the good work entertaining the nation..

[JakesShredGuitar]

How Id Eat The ML2: Remove it from the grill, transfer it to a wooden board and scatter over the reserved baby basil leaves. Drizzle over a little extra virgin olive oil and take straight to the table. ;) BAM

[kristofferjo]

Chappers Guitars is the new gibson! Cheers from Norway!

[LiamRooneyy]

I'm not gona lie. I don't usually comment on stuff, but I will this time. That is all.

[rockandrolladdicts]

#1Monkey lord (praise be upon him)

#2 that chuck norris guy...

those sick picks look epic !!

[RobChappers]

@rockandrolladdicts ha ha ha good comment ;-)

[ibanezxiphos700]

@rockandrolladdicts

This guy died shortly after making this comment as Chuck Norris heard what he was typing and roundhouse kicked him in his gouch, causing his insides to explode and excrete all of his fecal matter into his pants, which then spontaneously combusted. Leaving no trace of his existence

[312chicagoadam]

GORGEOUS ML2! It sounds as awesome as it looks, as well! Chappers, you TEAR IT UP at the end, too....WOW! Some of the fastest & cleanest stuff I've ever seen you play! ;)

[OndskapensHersker]

i seriously almost wanna sell my ESP Eclipse-II just to buy this guitar..

Damn you, Monkey Lord!

Damn you and your extremely attractive collaborative design!

[DELIVERORDIE97]

My recipe of WIN

add sun-dried tomatoes to anything (i mean, ANYTHING)

and you get pure awesomeness

your finger smells like ebony,maple,rosewood,maple,ebo­ny and AWESOME

[Kvaedi]

The Pick of Destiny!

[bhock4]

[PeterRentonMusic]

The Ml2 was crafted by the monkey crafter uzing monkey lord forest wood of win!

[NickoTheGuitarist]

I enjoy the ml2's small body, looks sleek, Les Paul's break my shoulder :(

\m/

[skatingisthebest14]

didnt hear any squealies from those sik piks??

[roccckkerrr]

how to make a pizza for dummies:

Buy a lovely frozen base from freezer section at supermarket.

Thaw it and stick on copious amounts of tomato paste, ham, tomato and cheese.

Eat (cooking optional)

[Megadeth256]

Your new guitar sounds lyk jesus, looks lyk jesus, and its a guitar god wld play himself

[buffalo4321able]

i should win that sic pic because i sat that the ml2 is as good as (or better) than the

les paul. (plus it has that "poing" thing down the bridge!)

[Velkus96]

Damn Chappers showing off his major shreding skills with that sexy beast called ML2. I have nor the guitar or the master playing skills, so give me some bad ass pick!!

Please? :D

[cannavar0]

chappers

what amp do you use?

sounds awesome

greetings from mexico

[RobChappers]

@cannavar0 Hi mate, this video is with my awesome Roland Cube - the 80 Watt one ;-)

[scottishguitarguy]

@RobChappers a roland cube!? i honestly thought that was your jvm head :O

might have to invest in one of those bad boys!

[MichaelBudd11]

@RobChappers

Love your stuff man

Just would like to ask as I have a Roland cube also, Which amp model, EQ settings, amp effects you use?

[crisDAwog]

@RobChappers holy crap thats a roland dam epic win xD

[oilpit]

That was honestly the best Chappers playing I've ever seen...

[koepkeguitar]

Someone asked me what the "sic"-kest guitar around is: I told them that I "pick"ed the only guitar that makes me go ape shit. - The ML2

[dahudge14]

Your playing is really tasty.... for a shredder. 

[wickedexp]

Where do we buy them?

[godlikecharacta]

@wickedexp SIKPIK.COM

[BARKMATTER]

Yo my man rob! greetings from America! Love the new ML2 baby! Was just wondering if the Monkey Lord is ever planning on crafting a 7 string disciple for future world dominations? Possibly the ML 7?

[telluridefan]

Mr. Chappers, may I ask what pickups you have in that masterpiece you call an ML2?

[fluff191]

I am totally ordering some Sik Pik's out of curiosity.

[ElGbayRGX]

Cool picks, i collect picks i have 43 at the moment = ) !!

[1withguitar]

i think your finger looks orgasmic, i would have sex with just your finger, nothing else, cofee tastes good btw.

[godlikecharacta]

Holy shit i think thats the fastest I've ver seen you shred once you used the SIK PIK

[TheguitarRockguy]

It would be amazing to have one of those sick picks because i love the ml2 and one of these picks would make it more fun to play!

[TrisofRoblind]

The ML2 is the BEST CREATION FROM THE GODS!!! CONSTRUCTED FROM THE EARTHS! IT OBLIVIATES TIME AND SHATTERS SPACE!!! NO MAN IS WORTHY TO PLAY SUCH A CREATION UNTIL ROB CHAPPERS a mortal who was really a guitar god PICKED IT UP!!! AND these picks would make me a tad bit normal of a guitarist... YOUR FINGER RULES becaseu pizza and coffee are the best food and beverage ever! No lie, my favorites. : D Have a nice day!

[watevalah]

my mouth was open all the way from 2:19 till 3:44 . SIK PIK= EPICWIN-NESS...... and chappers ofcourse for l33t skillz :P

[Taylo234]

I fucking suck at guitar! I feel if i used a pick you use, id be able to get good!

[stew918]

Why does the Chappers dislike America so? The Chappers keeps bringing up getting ill there.

[superlou1s]

@stew918- He said he got sick there. He never said anything about disliking America.

[YummyBananaFish]

If the ML-2 were a man, it would be Samuel L. Jackson in his birthday suit. I think that's the best complement I can think of right now.

[sacredgeometry]

loooooooove you chapstick of win!

[danukenator123]

I've been thinking about getting these. Are they good?

[SenselessAlias]

I smelt the finger and I felt closer to God.

[RobChappers]

@SenselessAlias ha ha ha ha WTF!! ;-)

[Pmichteinz]

I love me the look of the ML-2, it should just be called the Chappers Signature Les Paul. Cause it looks like a les paul... but better. I would love to play one but sad things happen to your money when you're a College Student studying Physics in America... :( <-- for not having any money \m/ <-- for the Guitar of the century

[88segovia]

ML-2 looks great...almost as good as your epic monkey finger of win! I want the pics!

[tollan23]

Those picks are as sick as the ML2! Not as sick as I am waiting for my ML2 though :-D

\m/

[AraGuitar]

The ML2 is a win encrusted instrument of destruction forged in the mighty fires of ... uhm... i like blueberry flavored pastries; can i have some picks please :)

[daveireland27]

Sir Chappers! Have you been working on your picking?! Your def on top of your game my friend!

[SpicerGovan]

nice channel

nice guitar

subscribed

milk porridge, microwave

Great finger

[doublel4z]

Man, i know what guitar I want! The ML2 looks amazing and sounds even better! All hail the Monkey Lord! If only I had the pleasure of owning an ML2 and a sik pik, especially one used by the Monkey Lord himself!!!

[skatedude724]

*Insane Shredding* Woah, actually quite good. quite suprised *continues to make me want to throw my guitar away* Goodness me *and again* WOAH!

xD

[gnrmanmatt]

cheap chappers? lmao just kidding with you buddy :P

[jesusofsuburbia57]

I would compliment the ML-2, but being played by the monkeylord is the biggest compliment a guitar could ask for!

[Chaz6993X]

You guy's aren't going to continue the ML2 when they're all gone? :(

[JesseArrr]

YOU'RE GUITARS ARE FULL OF MONKEYLORD WIN AND ARE WORTHY OF KINGS!

I really want that pick as well.

:)

[TenhoMeideia]

It's a nice pik, but it's already been SCREWED!

ZING!

[col50]

How about a MONKEYLORD BASS?!?!?!?!??

[andest]

guitar looks great! Black hardware would have been better imo.

[MrPintGlass]

@andest You can always retro-fit black hardware :D

[B1oodraven]

Unfortunately I still love my Eric Johnsson Jazz III's ( the tiny ones) and mostly because it's 2:57 AM here, and I've been watching these videos (which isn't bad at all but..) .. I have work in 1,5hours. :D

[B1oodraven]

@B1oodraven And I haven't been asleep (slept) since 06:00 AM. To be honest, I'm not too familiar with the numbers regarding the imperial system of time. but then again memory is altered thanks to alcohol.

[rampage222555]

my ears have just been blessed by monkey lord win

[slayermik]

i think you should give me this sik pick because free is in my pricerange atm

if i had the money i would have fuckloads of your guitar and would thank you on every album i ever made :D

[chapmanyasuki1]

Movement of wonderful finger.

[gitarmats]

Posted a link to the video in the Bumbleforums, might get you some extra participants!

I'm not much of a video responser though...

[VarashTR]

definition of nice: pleasant or pleasing or agreeable in nature or appearance; done with delicacy and skill,

That guitar is "nice" Chaps!

[yhcnoR]

the ml2 could easily be compared to esp eclipse. obviously with emg's or duncan's. 

[DrEviscerator666]

Bloody Monkeylord from your Hairy Ape ass I come and i am covered in Monkey Win (Chappers crap). I found a Dodo eating pizza there and i even saw Ritchie Blackmore there. Through the Triple Fullstacks of win on the monkey land i found Bob Russay the missing member from Cannibal Corpse. but the most most amazing thing i found there was the mountains of sausage pizza win that where covered with bacon animals. In the top of the mountain was a KIng Monkey who gave me a Sik Pik win!

[gtrjoe68]

Great Guitar and nice playing. I play Tortex sharp Dunlop U.S.A. 1.14mm.

[cbancaw2010]

im always looking for new picks/accessories things of the sort, those corkscrew shaped pieces of art look amazing... and i will buy an ml2.....yes jedi master chappers

peace and love , chris

[angrygoldfish]

*shreds like a mofo... * "ohhh, goodness me"... *continues shredding like a mofo*

[Stratomacaster]

If shipping wasn't so much, I would have already bought an ML2. Gorgeous guitars. I have a Warmoth build that's a Brazillian rosewood and I can't get enough of the natural wood grain bodies.

I'd love to have a Sik Pik, but only if you've played with it a few times - I need some of that Monkey Lord Mojo.

Cheers.

[RobChappers]

@Stratomacaster Ha ha i have played them both and had to prevent myself from using them for fear of marking them!! ;-)

[pkerlover]

thats a sexy guitar, i smelt the finger and that pick looks pretty rad

[CapnPuff69]

Can I have an ML2 for free? :D Seriously though that guitar is incredibly affordable for what it is

[treblemid]

Hey Rob,

Actually need one of those pics :)

As soon as i sell my pod x3 a ml1 will be entering my hands :D

[SocksInPanic]

1: I want to improve my skills. So I studie your finger. Your finger is awesome. I want to cut it off and put it in my pocket. When I ask my girlfriend to marry me, I hand her a box with your finger. Your finger is incredible. It is such a powerful weapon that the US Senat wants to buy it for 1billion dollars, or destroy it by attacking it with nuclear weapons.

2: We're Pizza brothers. Me and your finger. We both like the double Pizza you made some time ago. Although my mother thinks im crazy.

[thelargefry]

That has to be one the most beautiful guitars i've seen, The natural look of it is amazing. I'm pretty sure if i were to hold one in my hands i would more than likely melt. Those picks, at first looked weird to me but heck if Bumblefoot used them, then they have to be really nice picks and after seeing you shred with them, makes me want to try them out.

[maverick6string]

LOL "goodness me!"

[nik28vuksan]

Chapman are the most manliest sub sonic epic deth planksever known to alien kind!!!

Bring thos over to the Great North!!!

Monkey Lords Fingers are a alter dimension of pizza alien Goodness!!!

Please check out my most wicked channel!!! More Video's to come soon!!!
