Dan Steinhardt and Mick Taylor have become household names in the guitar community. With their popular 'That Pedal Show' YouTube channel becoming a hub for stompbox fanatics seeking valuable insight into their favourite circuits and designs, there's actually far more to the dynamic duo than just their successful video content.
While Dan is the founder of 'The GigRig' - a company that specialises in pedalboard solutions and manufactures the acclaimed G2 switching system; Mick spent years working for guitar magazines as a journalist, and also co-hosted our 'Acoustic Paradiso' video series on Andertons TV!
The 'That Pedal Show' pair popped down to our video studio to share stories about their musical journeys and more with the always-inquisitive Captain Anderton. Going way back and speaking about their inspirations, Dan and Mick also talk vintage gear and their favourite pedal builders.

Tora Dahle Aagård is a guitarist, singer-songwriter and Chapman artist that is making waves – not just in her native Norway, but across the music industry. She combines incredible, highly technical guitar playing with a musicality and presence that belies her 24 years of age. Tora views the guitar as not just a separate musical entity, but as an extension of her vocals. It's this unique view that has helped to separate her from the rest of her peers.
In this wide-ranging interview, The Captain and Tora discuss everything from musical influences, why she decided to pick up the guitar in the first place, and her new album. Tora even gives us a first-hand demonstration using her excellent Chapman V2 ML1 Traditional Standard! Enjoy...

Guitar lovers. Sit back, relax and enjoy the sounds and tales of the legend that is Eric Gales. In this episode of The Captain Meets, Lee sits down with this incredible blues-rock guitarist and gets deep in conversation about the players past, present and future.
In this beautifully honest interview, Eric talks us through some of his more recent releases, has his first encounter with a looper pedal (spoiler, it's unreal) and treats us to some all-round inspiring jams.
A truly inspirational individual and one hell of a player. We thoroughly enjoyed having him join us!

Rabea has worked with Andertons for a long time now, but do we really know the man behind the afro? The baritone-wielding guitar virtuoso lets us into his crazy world of music.
Growing up in Leeds with musical parents, Rabea began his musical journey as a drummer before being forced out of action and onto the guitar. Rabea slowly but surely discovered his unique blend of heavy riffing and bluesy lead playing. Now he’s a full-on guitar gear nerd, Chapman Guitars signature artist, lead guitarist in instrumental band Toska and Andertons presenter.

Hailed by many as a modern blues phenomenon, Dan Patlansky is undoubtedly one of South Africa’s most formidable musical exports in recent memory. His sound and style has been compared to the likes of Hendrix and SRV, but with an undeniably electrifying take on the classic blues sound.
For the best part of 2 decades, Patlansky has been making a name for himself as a musical force to be reckoned with. Accolades include being named Male Artist of the Year by Blues & Soul magazine, #4 in the 10 Best Rock Guitarists in the World by Total Guitar magazine, and numerous glowing reviews of his 9-album discography. He’s also 1 of only 6 Fender endorsees in South Africa!
Dan kindly popped into the Andertons TV studio during his UK tour to chat about his affinity for vintage Stratocasters, cutting his teeth touring SA, and much more…

A wizard on guitar, Albert Lee is a true ‘old-time’ country and rock player with chops in the bucketloads. You might find it surprising that he’s not actually American! Albert Lee is arguably Britain’s most successful export in the genre, having worked with the Everly Brothers, Eric Clapton and Dolly Parton.
Described as a man without ego by his peers and the likes of Jimmy Page and Ritchie Blackmore, Albert is known as a real guitar player’s guitarist. Most of the time, you’ll find him with his signature Music Man or a Tele in his hands.
Listen to the Captain’s in-depth chat with the legend himself about growing up with the guitar, how he earned his nickname Mr Telecaster and how he keeps himself motivated over six decades of making music.

The Gristle King himself! Greg Koch is one of our favourite guitarists here at Andertons. He’s an incredibly expressive, versatile player and we think he’s a bit of an underrated gem.
Greg has an envious catalogue of critically acclaimed albums stretching back to his 1993. Joe Bonamassa and Steve Vai have referred to Greg as an inspiring player and one of the best around today.
Along with all the accolades, Greg Koch is a proper gear nerd and loves his tone twiddling. He takes the Captain through his signature Koch combo amp and Reverend guitars equipped with Gristle-Tone Fishman Fluence pickups.
