Thanks for all the kind words on my weightloss guys. It's super appreciated, and I'm glad it's noticeable! Big love to you all!

[alecstone]

I love John Mayer but i probably will never spend this much money to sound like him, I just love coming and hearing Rabea play man. Such a badass.

[danoflaherty]

Well done to Bea for losing all that weight! Damn!!

[joelcrow]

I am blown away at how good Rabea is at sounding like amazing artists! Also, that song that Pete played was beautiful...like a melodic 50's thing, really nice!

Could you do a video for "The most versatile guitar rig in the world" - for a limited budget of say 1000GBP choose guitar, amp and pedals and try to achieve the most tones that either are similar to some artists or fit to a genre. For hobby musicians who play covers mostly and don't want to go all out this would be very interesting.

"I'm going to find another you" played by Pete's ass hanging out

[Big-Monkey-Man]

As a Mayer tone aficionado, I approve of these tones

[ayeapprove]

12:57 now that was spot on. Great work by Pete!

John Mayer is one of the current guitar gods. In his 08 concert DVD, he plays a dark grey strat with a rosewood fretboard. To this day, I have no idea what it's secret sauce is, but it's one of my favorite sounding guitars of all time. Shortly after, my best friend and I walked into our local music store and there was an American Standard strat with the same color and fretboard. I took it off the wall, plugged it in, and instantly sounded like John Mayer, with way less practice. I bought it, and it's the only guitar I own that I will never sell

"Who Did You Think I Was?" was on Try not Continuum if I'm not mistaken

[elliotthutton]

3:00 would not dare pick up a £2600 guitar like that

[dunnunz]

Sound like Eric Johnson by busting the bank (or without but I think it's impossible...).

[stackhouse]

Guys, please mount a camera above the board next time so we can see the settings on the pedals. Great work, what a lovely sound!!!

[zacharynorman]

I wish they showed more of the effects on camera and where the knobs are etc etc.

[luketerry]

We need to sound like John Mayer

Can’t use this guitar because the pick guard is WRONG

[overnightgrowth]

I would have thought you guys would get a two rock amp. The milkman was more recent I think. In any case it sounds good!

[Knoxvillemoto]

Holy crap. That sounds unbelievable. Abosulutely amazing.

Apart from great tone, I realize the great playing quality and also variety from Rabea. He’s the real deal.

[MoPower]

I think the real winner here is the amp, it sounds beautiful!
