G&B video

Alright chaps?

Just a note to say that, after a few baby steps, Guitar & Bass magazine is officially in the video game. We're posting clips across our various social media pages, but if you subscribe to our YouTube channel (youtube.com/theguitarmagazine) you won't miss a trick. Plenty more where this came from coming soon:

Ooh, will check this out later.....should be a great addition to a great mag

Thanks @markslade07 - now is a very good time for you, and everybody else, to chip in with some advice with regard to what they'd like to see from our videos...

Video looks great Chris, really nice presentation.

I really liked the Novo one from a while back. 

xchrisv

Cheers @ThorpyFX, there are a few others on the channel if you fancy a butchers

Trying a few different formats...

I enjoyed those.
You managed to pack quite a lot into under 2 minutes.
Certainly makes a change from the Andertons epic productions.

Shame you've gone for video because you've got the perfect looks for radio.

Thanks @Sassafras, for the first three sentences, at least :-P

I'm liking these...as someone says above, a nice change to have short, sharp videos (although they have their place too).

One thing I would like to see (and this is just personal preference), when doing videos on guitars like that stunning Bilt above, would be a little info of what effects/ amps you're playing through. Just so I can copy! Of course not really, I just find it useful to get a fuller picture in my head.

Great stuff so far though!

@markslade07 the Bilt was just plugged straight into the Rift PR18 that Huw Price and I assembled under @RiftAmps' close supervision for a recent mag feature - I think it's just the spring reverb from the amp that you can hear and that's it but point taken, a little on-screen annotation describing the signal chain wouldn't go amiss...

@chrisv ...which has just made me want a Rift amp even more! Sounded fantastic

I was already subscribed but loving the well made shorts.

Good stuff, well made and nice and concise. I preferred the second one with the Built rather than the "5 things we like", I like the way you heard each pickup on its own before the backing track was faded up, nice touch.

Neil

Very nice stuff Chris.

I love the under two minute style without all the additional extraneous stuff which generally puts me off watching guitar demo vids.

I think they gave a nice taste of the equipment -  and pretty impressed with that little Blackstar.

That Blackstar sounds good and at only £229 offers a lot for the money 

RandallFlagg

Very good, subscribed. I reckon you could make anything sound good though Chris
