How do you get guitar lessons from Nathaniel if you dont live in Chicago? ????
Pretty fun and enjoyable. Great music! But honestly, feels a little too much like a sales pitch. I know you’re a store, but if I could change one thing, it would be to dial down the “call now!” vibe. Like the Antigua segment… I personally was a little turned off by the push to “preorder sooner rather than later!” Love the hosts, the history… but after the second or third mention trying to get us to purchase an instrument, I was kind of done with it. Take the critique as you will. I really do love most of your content, and I think this is a great idea – just maybe needs some tweaking.
Really like this series. It is a genuine show that in the old days could have been on a network. As a newbie to the electric guitar world (who is an older person), thank you! Given I am a learner, what about a "Skills Skorner" where you quickly teach one new technique each show?
Loved this! Looking forward to more episodes!
My friend had a mid-70s Starcaster (it may have been a Coronado) in the horrible Antigua finish. What an ugly guitar with an enormous headstock you could hammer nails with.
I have a 1990s Japanese SG junior… Way better than the Korean ones… The Japanese had an Elitist range wich you can pick up for a grand. Korean Epis need a bit of work pickups muddy etc.
Casually making the best show on YouTube with episode 1
Get Paul Rivera to come on and give up some amp component tips!
SO stoked to be here for this. Just made my first CME purchase of a Classic Vibe Antigua P Bass and CME delivered–setup and inspection were PERFECT! LOVE IT!
Nath is such a fine Player. I even like the sound of the Tremolo switch alone.
Thanks guys …keep 'em coming!!! ????????
love the fact that you played Dream by the Everly Brothers every time I turn on my Tremelo I think about them lol
What song is Nathaniel playing at 17:43 with the EA7P?? It’s driving me crazy
Hate the Fender Antigua finish. Wouldn’t own one
30:29 Diary!
The Antigua finish is the most awful one in recent years. The brown bum burst around everything is just yuck. If they did it with a non-turd brown it might be better but… Yuck.
Cool show! Regarding that Epiphone Professional, the little red push switch isn’t original—at least the ones shown in 1965 Epiphone catalogs didn’t have it. The big humbucking pickup isn’t original either—that model came with an Epiphone mini-humbucker; I know the one in the catalog did anyway! I’ve only seen one of those guitars in person; I didn’t play it because the matching amp was missing. The Professional amps came in two versions—a 12-watt model with (I think) a 10” speaker, and a 35-watt version with a 12”. Both are really rare, and the guitar is too.
My favorite Epiphone was the early-80s Spirit II. Beautiful looking guitar, and sounded great with Tim Shaw pickups.
My favourite tube amp is my big red 110 triggerman epiphone half stack
Epiphone nighhawk nancy wilson and bb king started with a blueshawk
Ive just bought the 70th anniversary antigua 70s stratocaster made in ensanada £1169 its £999 at andertons uk now im fuming squier have released a strst tele jazzmaster n jazz 6 antigua epiphone now are just as good as Gibson ive just bought a Gibson les paul classic honeyburst 2019 8 have a epiphone 55 limited edition its stunning
Disappointing to hear you guys repeating the lie about Epiphone being founded in 1873. It’s simply not true, no matter how many times Gibson repeats it.
Antigua…. a finish only it's mother could love.
Al Caiola Epiphones never came with an amp, it was the professional that came with the amp, come on guys do your research before you do the video!
What was that song at https://youtu.be/_NJZJGSpl9s?t=1329?
I need that Antigua tele
I have a '81 Epiphone Genesis Custom…Thing sounds and plays amazing… Too bad you didnt demo it! Totally underrated instrument.
Nathanial, you need to be sponsored by addidas, loving the trainers. Great playing as always mate! Love from Liverpool.
Arg…tremolo too fast for every song
Cut those sideburns, Mattingly!
What a great vid, thank you CME. Also, what would an epi Jorma Kaukonen model be worth these days??
If I am being brutally honest, what is this show trying to be? When the Temu version of the ‘movie guy voice’ narrator was recounting Epiphone history, was that jumping the shark level bad an intentional decision? (When he said “annals of music history” I nearly turned it off.) As it is you’ve got a kind of Ali Express JHS Show meets Anderton’s
Old epiphones are so cool
Thanks guys, I’m a proud owner of a 1962-63 Epiphone Riviera in cherry red. It plays so good
sick ghost riff at the end
The Roland JC amps has this exact chorus circuitry in it. Save the money! Buy the amp!
I have too many epiphones now including that QueenBee but id love that 65 sheraton
Where can i get that 1990's Epiphone SG 70 made in Japan? You don't have a link to that guitar and I can't find it on your website.
I love my vintage Epiphone acoustic! I request more drum segments featuring meeee!
Dig it. Lot of work in evidence to make the show. Keep it up please. The covers were good.
Love Nathanial’s vibe n playing ,,,,, CME ,,,,,, give him a BIG raise he deserves it !
Great video but IMO we could of done with the treasonous Green Day garbage.
Great addition to the CME portfolio. I'd love to see a segment on what's new and unique in the pedal market.
Damn, this dude loves switches.
"It comes with an amp" ???? But no stereo out option! Hail, hail the mighty CE-1!
