Been watching Daves channel for a long time and I'm genuinely really happy to see how much more confident he seems. Such a great addition to the team. And I think it's been very beneficial to both parties.

[james-sc]

I learned two things from this series, 1. Dave is a great addition to the team 2. electro harmonics pedals are a amazing for the price

[KingDM]

Omg I’ve never seen Dave before but he just made my day. His enthusiasm is infectious and every time the pedals made a crazy sound his reaction is priceless thank you so much. 😊

Dave is an insanely talented guitar player, I hope he gets a big contract someday so he can get all the attention he deserves

[joshhogan]

I love this series with Dave- looking forward to the Rory Gallagher episode

[randysutton]

Obviously, Dave Simpson's talent is also a big part of it, but I was pretty amazed at how good an Affinity Strat and Katana sound.

[I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

Such talent, a brilliant player!
I hope at some point they have Dave and Pete jam for a bit.

[matzer]

This just puts a smile on me face 😆 from start to ...
- Dave just knows how to in so many ways
- he's very quick and result oriented ...
- resuls are always a pleasure imho. 👍
Just keep it coming ...

Brilliant to see Dave. What a player, a tone meister, a teacher, an encyclopaedia and all round top guy. Love these videos. Once again, Lee was smart to procure the best talent.

Great to see the Andertons team working with youtubers like Dave. He's got a great attitude towards affordable gear, and he can play like an absolute demon. I'm sure when he records his 'intros', he's tuned into somewhere else. I've seen him play Medieval sounding Folk stuff, to Arabic sounding ScreamCore., On a "Shaffordable" plank and some little tin boxes.
And on top of all that, He is one of the nicest people to ever be seen on the Internet.

This has to be the best episode yet. Dave is a phenomenal guitar player and brings great insight and depth into the guitarist he emulates.

[jonathanbishop]

Hadn’t smiled today until I watched this. More Dave and Lee please. Thanks for a properly enjoyable video.

[billyvitale]

Wow that final solo was .. it really captured so much of Jimi... only someone who has studied his playing and has a passion for it can really do that.. and on top of that Dave masterfully pulled in all the pedals.. and illustrated how they truly capture Henrdix.. wow.. really enjoyed that. Thanks

Excellent as always with Dave and I love this series because the reality is... we don't all have £5000 for a set up and you wouldn't use a high end guitar live anyway (damage, theft), a decent amp yes, but the guitar is generally a well set up mid-range £800 or so in my experience, one you can afford to get knocks and dings. My son uses a Mex maple neck HSS Strat with a Laney LC30 - 112 (v2), 2008 vintage - the amp out of the box is Class A, with 8 high quality valves and a 'real' accutronics spring reverb tank, can provide Fender 60's style on the clean, a more Marshall tone on the drive channel. And fits easily in a boot (Eric).

A Jimi Hendrix anecdote for you, from the autobiography of the late, great Bobby Womack. They were both touring on the same bus when Jimi was a side man in Isley Brothers - Bobby was Sam Cooke's lead guitarist and at the time at least, his senior in capability. Both unorthodox and left handed which gave them a playing edge they shared and would discuss together on the long nights between towns. One difference between them is that Bobby didn't mod his guitar which was a stock right hand, upside down without a string change so the bass wound was at the bottom (and no neck change).

As stated here, Jimi liked to mod his guitar which made it unplayable for Bob (or anyone else). However, one night he lost his pride and joy following a card session in which a fellow band mate accused Jimi of stealing his cash - Jimi wasn't averse to lifting things on their travels although Bobby thought this was unlikely between the crew. Jimi went to sleep and when he woke up his guitar was gone - the offended guy had thrown it out of the bus door and that guitar was never seen again.

Not only do we learn about pedals but we get some very cool info on the artist. Great series and kudos to Andertons for going down this road and working with Dave. Love Pete, but Dave is a nice addition to your videos!

[michaelsnydermusic]

The only choice I’d disagree with was the octave fuzz. The octave was too high in the registry. I think the other finalist was a better choice. Beyond that small detail it was awesome. Especially when Dave busted out Foxy Lady, I’d never seen anyone pull that intro off so perfectly like that. It’s as if that fuzz pedal was built for that one bit. Great job Dave and Lee!

[good_king_guitarman]

Dave is a legend - you should make him a regular. Very entertaining!

[frankybebop]

Wonderful Dave! Thanks for casually sharing a whole bunch of less known facts about Jimi and his gear while playing like a champ!

[digitalchris]

Great vid.
Dave's ability to get great tones out of (relatively) cheap kit is truly inspiring.

[flyguyty]

Please keep Dave on this format. Such a good vibe, lighthearted, and insightful! 👏
