Should I make more videos like this?
EDIT: I did :D watch here: czcams.com/video/HbaOwpEqiO8/video.htmlsi=KGYwRng6U9eXH9Gz
Definitely
Yeah Please but with JEMJRSP, the guitar used by Yoyoko Ohtsuki, her rival in season 02.
yes plz
yes
gonna start needing some guitar loaners for do more videos like that 💀@@Niji_Seggs
I hadn't played my guitar almost at all for maybe 10-15 years. Then I watched Bocchi, looked over at my guitar, saw that it was a black Les Paul epiphone that looks almost exactly like Bocchi's and thought "fuck it, that's destiny." Back in the game.
welcome back 😎🤝
record yourself playing it and put it up!! :D
Slay. You got this.
Updates?!
I started it due to MyGo rather than Bocchi, but I don't treat it as an instrument but rather a daily finger training machine 😆
This man is 1000% cultured. Most people get the wrong type of guitar, and often don’t credit the people who made it all possible. Plus you described playing the guitar the most accurately so far on CZcams. Hope that les Paul suits you well man
thank you :D
@@MattyyyM as a long time Les Paul owner, the worst thing is the angle of the headstock. It is a straight up design flaw IMO, as guitars with a less angled headstock stay in tune much better.
@@bunkerdenelectrix the 68 actually has a better headstock angle
@@MattyyyM nice ! If only my 2017 did haha.
This anime single-handedly increased the sales and re-sales of this Les Paul in Japan because a bunch of Otakus thought they can play guitar and gave up after 2 weeks
sounds about right
Lmao
they shouldve started practicing 6 hours a day…
Yes and then there are now a surplus of black les paul guitars and copies in 2nd hand shops now.
thats how i got into guitar lmaoo js picked it back up a few months ago, now im hyperfixated
Two of my friends watched bocchi and the rock and immediately decided to start a band, inviting my brother and I. Haven't seen it, but I'm super glad it exists.
that's so cool
Them about to notice that guitar(or literally any instrument)is not easy and takes dedication: Nevermind *vanishes into oblivion*
@@WelcomeToTiltedTowers we all have some musical experience and a ton of dedication. So far it hasn't been a problem surprisingly.
@@WelcomeToTiltedTowers After a bit of time though, it becomes a lot easier to motivate yourself because you're having FUN.
Excited otakus by an anime, i give that band 1 month until they give up.
It’s amazing the show’s making more people pick up guitar. That literally rocks.
true the comments on this video even proved it!
She's the reason I picked up guitar back in December last year, I still suck at basic stuff though
This anime got me to get a guitar 3 months ago
It did in fact made me buy a epiphone les paul custom ebony.
Me who watched beck Mongolian chop squad 5 years ago and picked up an exact replica koyukis telecaster: 😢rip my wallet
bro nailed every single Bocchi song
thanks ❤️
Real, this one is the most accurate and yet with the same guitar
Don’t forget the Yamaha pacifica she bought
the gibson > yamaha
@@MattyyyM D:
@@MattyyyM every day of the week
@@MattyyyM wth
But Yamaha don't release this guitar(
Yo! For Bocchi’s effect chain, you can see her board in episode 12 at 5:14 and at one more spot I believe. It looks like a Boss BD-2 (as you mentioned) as well as a ProCo RAT and also it looks like a Dunlop Crybaby GCB95 looping into a Boss MS-3 which is most likely where she’s getting her fuzz and rotary sounds from. I hope this was helpful 👍
knowledge!
Bocchi speaks deeply to me, I think it speaks to any 30+ guitar player who spent his teenage years locked in his room playing more guitar alone than having human interactions and witnessing the birth of CZcams with people like Jerry C, wishing to play that good and be seen on the internet.
The Ano Bando song specially is a banger with those lyrics and it makes me feel quite emotional.
"I close my eyes there's a halo in the darkness
I cover my ears there's a steady beating pulse within
Deep in my chest my heart makes my body sway
I don't want to hear anything else
Nothing but the sounds I'm making"
Congratulations on your Les Paul, I almost bought one that looked like this 8 or so years ago but in the end I got a PRS clone from a Korean brand as my H-H mahogany axe, still have it.
I still sit in my room playing more than real human interactions LMAO
Im more amazed at how accurate the show is in terms of gear and the setups. Usually shows just half ass it but the accuracy in this show is amazing
When Ryo mentioned the Darkglass/Dingwall combo I died laughing, I didn't expect her to name drop the boutique bass gear just like that 😂
I mean, there will always be some music nerd who is into anime that instantly recognizes said gear and setups. Like this dude
@@andmos1001 I'm not denying any of that 😂
and not only that, but when they make mistakes they don't just play a perfect performance and say that they're messing up, they're *actually* making mistakes and you can hear it, it's great
@@Ambichook Absolutely
This show had given me back my passion to play my drums again , especially the song "that band" and "flashbacker". Bocchi the Rock is still one of my top favourite shows up till now, hope cloverworks gives us season 2 😭
fr 👏
Bocchi the Rock has a special place in my heart. It helped me get through a rough time in my life, and as a result it motivated me to play guitar again. You could say that Bocchi the Rock changed my life for the better. Last year, I finally saved up enough cash and bought the Les Paul Custom directly from Gibson. I was surprised to find out that out of sheer coincidence, the certification date of my Les Paul Custom was on my birthday! Bocchi also has the same birthday month as I do, too.
I overall love the Les Paul Custom. While it does indeed have its own quirks and oddities, I can't help but smile each and every time I play it. It's a part of me I can't let go of.
Thank you for posting this video. I'm always glad to see Bocchi and her guitar get the love they deserve.
that's awesome, I hope you're doing better nowadays ❤️
@@MattyyyM I appreciate it! Doing wayyyy better nowadays for sure. Guess I found out the hard way that I needed to get some music back into my life, LOL.
Important Amp correction. In the show, it's a JCM 900. You can tell this by counting the dials. 800's only have 6 dials, where as 900's have 10. The amp everything is recorded on (if it's a Marshall) is most likely a JCM2000 though, since that's the more readily available Marshall in Japan.
Although its for Japan only, Epiphone did release a bocchi les paul custom signature
List of guitars that can give you an unmatched rock sound for cheaper:
Anything with humbuckers
😂 yeah pretty much. The pickup is the single most important part of an electric guitar.
True humbuckers are always my go to if I wanna play sum a lil more heavier
Would be great if Gibson sell their burstbucker separately tho
@@Official_MikeyTyeah and really in the whole signal and a mix pickup isn’t that important to changing the tone
@@HoangNguyen-oz4fjreverb
Love this format, please do make more videos like this :D
it was a lot of fun to make!
i thought when you were uploading kessoku's songs they were just a phase. seems like you genuinely loved the anime!!!
I love your blackcurrant songs btw! looking forward to your new releases with the new guitar! :D
my favourite 12 episode length anime ^^ and thank you very much!
Ephiphone just announced les paul customs with real mother of pearl inlays and the gibson shaped headstock today
that's awesome
Was about to post this myself, I've also been looking at these things. Push comes to shove I can just replace the knobs and it's pretty much show-accurate, just cheaper. And, hell, it's already as close as it gets without that.
theyve been doing those for months but they're still very much built in several ways like an epiphone. the scarf joint and how the binding continues from the neck to the headstock is very much not like a gibson, not to mention the difference in trussrod and the cover.
@@hollyc5417 the truss rod cover is obvious, I kind of assumed the fret ends would not be bound, it's the scarf joint that's surprising. Their announcements made a very big deal of the "one piece neck" thing, implying the contrary. But I haven't actually had my hands on any of the new pricey Epiphones so all my info is secondhand. Apparently the retailers in my country don't even have any of these yet.
As for the whole binding situation I'm only familiar with Standards - and they obviously don't have headstock binding at all
edit: I just had a look and I see what you mean, the way they do the binding on the Epiphones really looks like a scarf joint, the Gibson binding looks just uninterrupted.
Hey! I can’t find the info about it! Can you share it please?
you played it matty, for next time bocchi cosplay too hahaha, awesome guitar, enjoy it!
I'll get the pink tracksuit out
I started watching it last year january 2023 and before I knew it I picked up my first guitar in april which was a strat clone, its almost been a year and I've really enjoyed playing it ever since. Thank you BTR for showing me the fun in guitar 🙏
that's awesome 🙌🏻
What a brilliant video, super funny references and editing and BTR BGM.
You made your guitar sound identical to the recordings, it's amazing.
I'm really glad you liked it! it's not my typical video, so I appreciate that ^^
Thanks for this video! I got back to playing to learn this solo and then binged the anime - it was great, brought back some good memories
glad you liked it :)
every time i hear your playing it gives me chills and makes me want to hear more! I love your playing keep it up and i hope you get millions of subscribers because you deserve them all!
I can tell this was a blast for you to make. Love this video!!!
thank you so much!
I got a lefty version of this back in 2020 and totally love it. I have 8 other guitars of varying build and quality. It quickly became my favourite one to play. Seeing it show up in Bocchi was a huge OMG moment for me. What drives me nuts, though, is that she gig-bags the thing. In spite of the price, the neck and headstock are practically designed to fail. The angles they're set in makes it as play-able as can be, but puts them very precarious position for anything less than a totally form fitted hardshell. Mine was made with the "original" non-relief body which weighs in at a hefty 9.8lb. I can't imagine the average gig-bag holding up to that kind of weight for very long.
yeah there's no way I'd be setting it down on the pavement too like she does xD
so sick love your content, definitely my dream guitar
🙌🏻
I’ve been playing guitar for over 10 years and the music from Bocchi has made me want to get better. From the time I’ve spent learning the music I can already seeing improvement to my playing in places I’ve plateaued over the years with.
the songs definitely have some more technical sections ^^
these things have been my dream guitar since childhood so i was stoked when i saw it come out in the show. recently got the epiphone version and still quickly became my favorite from what i have
This video is awesome! I've been wanting to start guitar for a while now but I don't know what equipment to use such as AMPs and pedals I'd love if you did a video on starter equipment that sound similar to this or just an overview of the basics!
In season 2, Bocchi will use his new guitar, namely the YAMAHA PACIFICA 611vfm. And you have to buy it again and review it for us... and we are Bocchi fans
I was playing guitar a lot back in middle school and high school for 3-4 years, and just suddenly stopped because i can't get any motivation to play it again.
This anime really hits the part when i'm still used to doing it a lot, and actually i'm starting to play guitar more again because of it.
And thanks to the dark old times of learning and playing super hard dream theater songs, bocchi's song wasn't super difficult to learn, and like you said, Fun!
for those wondering what petals is Bocchi using its Boss Blue Drive BO2
^^^
Very cool playing dude 🎉
thank you :)
Would love to see redos of all of your bocchi songs with this guitar now, or maybe an extended medley?
a medley is a cool idea!
Amazing video! I learned a lot
Honestly didn't know that different guitars can produce different sound
bro the bocchi solo that you did was SPOT on holy
Great video, love the guitar. The effect pedals were as you mentioned a bd2, rat(older one, newer ones are angled) and boss ms3(effects switcher but also has built in effects which Bocchi uses that's where the rotary and delay sounds come from). But I think the amp is jcm900 and not jcm800 because the one we see in the anime has more knobs(like the jcm900).
Well spotted! I don't have any experience with amps so I wasn't 100% sure with the shot being not entirely accurate in the anime of the amp
Came here to comment this as well but figured I'd check the comments so I wasn't one of several people bombarding him. The amp is without question a JCM 900 4100
Your tone here is freaking sick! I wish I could get mine dialed in that well! ❤🤘🏽
This is by far the closest match to the sound of the guitar from the show I've ever heard and I love it. I picked up my guitar again after years of not playing after watching BTR, but then I put it back down again because I forgot how much I sucked at it.
COOOL ! Yeeah awesome LP Custom dude
thank you 😊
Nice Vid ... bocchis guitar is AMAZING.. and the video format ,can you make a video with the rolling shutter efect?
idk it can be nice
rolling shutter effect?
You’ve out done yourself with this one matty 🤘 you monster!
I've been seeing this anime on my youtube reccomendations so i decided to watch it. When i watched it, i got inspired to start a band and go on gigs! This surely is a masterpiece!
This anime made me purchase a les paul and a Pacifica 😅
Super nice guitar skill of you! Very impressed!
This is awesome. Been playing guitar for 10 years, been touring in a band for 3 years. Love to see people pick up guitar from this show. Marshall and les paul is awesome but imo eps/ltd through a cranked 5150 with a tube screamer is so gangster
Sounds amazing!
😄
I really love how powerful the sounds it produces, it hits the right spot in my soul
the intro is so perfect
Thanks for the info!
Easily one of my favorite les pauls. So nice and the anime just as epic as the guitar! Highly recommend it if you haven't seen it already.
That last part of the intro solo was so sick.. never heard anything like it
Yo awesome video
i was just listening to you cover yesterday morning :o but if i had to get a les paul it would definitely be the one from k-on!
interesting!
its so hard to decide, i wish i was a millionair so i could just get both
i think millionaire is a bit overkill don't you think@@plteltronix7085
@@MattyyyM cant ever have enough money lol
@@plteltronix7085 valid point 🗿
this new style of video is pretty cool
thanks dan!
In the anime, it was left ambiguous if it was a reissue or not, but the in the manga it is clear that she is using a reissue due to the pickguard design, I think from the 70s but not 100% sure.
She uses a jcm900 amp for the school festival show. And the amp she uses at the Starry doesn't look like jcm800 because of the imput jack, the jcm800 has two, while the Starry amp has one. I am not too familiar with marshall amps so I don't know what model the Starry uses.
Although I know Kita uses a Roland JC120 with a foot switch to activate the inbuilt chorus that wasn't animated for some reason dispite Kita using the foot switch during the school festival show.
The tone is so frickin good.
If K-On didn't make me fall in love with LPs, Bocchi sure did! Entertaining video Matty - 4:28 made me laugh. Can I ask which drive block you used on your Axe-FX to replicate the Blues Driver? You got such an excellent tone!
I think its just called Blues OD or something
I’ve started playing guitar 20yrs ago on a lespaul… and upto now, it is still my weapon of choice in my band.. though i also have a prs and an ibanez pia… nothing beats the les paul sound for me…
Congrats on the new axe! My single cut of choice is my Adam Jones silver burst Standard, which was already 3k lol I can't imagine being able to spend 6k on a guitar as I'd be paranoid and scared of damaging it lmao, I'd still get one tho, always loved black Customs.
I'm glad shows like this still exist, that inspire people to pick up the guitar and go on a journey.
For me that show was Beck Mongolian Chop Squad in the mid 00s. Bocch is doing now what Beck did 20 years ago, inspiring a new generation, even if the two anime are quiete different in their approach.
I hear that a lot, regarding damaging guitars. I think I can count on one hand how many times I've dinged a guitar in 20 years
You got my dream guitar! I always wanted to own the ‘68 Custom but it’s so expensive. I’m planning on going with the newest Epiphone Custom since it got the new headstock and Gibson pickups.
that'll be awesome! there definitely won't be $4000-$5000 difference to play
Get a edwards instead, its slightly cheaper and better quality as it is made in japan. Believe me the quality is amazing
W8 !! What about the audio interface , the UM2 or the Steinberg UR24C more likely! It's a awesome cheap alternative if you have a classic guitar cable and good headphones/speakers already and dont wanna spend even more money if you choose to get that exact Bocchi guitar or a cheap lookalike
or check out the Edwards and Tokai Les Paul Custom Clones, Edwards is a ESP company, I bought a Tokai off of Reverb, very nice, did do a full hardware upgrade, but I didn't spend $5-6000, only $1500 after all shipping and customs ($75 to USA) were paid, and the Tokai does have a standard gibson truss rod nut ( my gibson corn cob pipe fit it) and it has a transitional neck socket, so not a full deep tenon, but not a short set tenon, and it also has direct screw ABR 1 bridge screws and both the bridge screws and stop bar threads are Metric
I've got a black Epiphone Les Paul Standard with silver furniture and an off white pick guard. I gotta say, it's probably one of my favorite guitars to play.
I have the Epiphone version of this guitar and love it just as much! Definitley a cool guitar either way
Man this anime is taking the world by storm I'm seeing it every where speaking of which where can I watch it
crunchyroll in UK has it, can vpn if not in your region
bro really be showing off his gibson and skills.
and i liked it
❤️
how could you not have included the bottle neck solo, its so iconic specially with Bocchi's actual guitar.
but love the dedication and the guitar sounds amazing
Man this brings me back to the Beck and K-ON days haha
Bocchi would be happy to hear she's inspiring people I think.
Holy moly now this guy is a man of culture!
I recently started learning guitar didn't watch bocchi till 3 days ago and will say it definitely just made me want to practice which is cool
Beautiful guitar!
thanks ^^
I generally just started getting INTO guitar thanks to the anime, now I'm learning some cool stuff that I thought I'd never learn before :]
Ngl the anime was so good it motivated me into playing guitar again, glad i watched it
@5:30 i picked up guitar after watching K-On, even have a similar Epiphone Les Paul that i got at a pawn store for about $200. Although i still cant play well after several years (never had time or energy to practice) I still love that guitar.
The prices of the Gibson Ebony Customs are miserable considering a flame-maple top Gibson, Heritage, or Gretsch can be had for around half. I still want one, of course.
I started guitar on a revstar a month ago to learn that solo to then buy a similar les paul and play the solo on it.....damn that's surreal. I'm thinking of getting an Orville 97 Les Paul which looks pretty damn similar. The fact they were made in japan too is cool.
japanese build quality is incredible
im not really into music and such, but like this poke my interest.
I started guitar because of Bocchi the Rock and wanted a Yamaha Pacifica at first, but settled first with a Squier Stratocaster then a Fender Stratocaster after some months. Now I am liking my Stratocaster.
(I still want a Les Paul in a future though). 😄😄
you can start saving early for it ^^
You actually get a pretty good look at her pedal board when they’re playing the cultural festival in episode 12, and in addition to the Blues Driver that doesn’t look a lot like a Blues Driver but is definitely a Blues Driver, she has what looks like a ProCo RAT, and a Vox wah, which is used pretty prominently in the intro to If I Could Be a Constellation.
Yoo is there a full version of the cover you played at 1:32 ? I already seen (and loved) your bocchi op cover on the channel but something about the mini demo in this video hit differently
Not even lying when this anime started airing it made me get into guitar again. Absolutely love this anime and its music.
that's awesome to hear
@@MattyyyM thank you bro 🙏
this show made me try to play for the 2nd time and i realy enjoy it ( also watched it 3 times now )
Let's go!!!!
😝
Would have loved to know what all those knobs and thingamajigs do.
As a non instrument guy those really stood out for me.
I love this show so much
Woah... this is awesome
Thats so cool
Nice!....I don't play...And am more a drum guy...but interesting for sure...Love BTR and have been lucky enough to have visited (from the UK) many of the real life locations used in the show when seeing my fav band LIVE in Japan.
what a fuckin beauty of a guitar
Bocchi the Rock def wasn't the main inspiration to me playing guitar, but it def kept me going haha. Tho I like playing metal songs more and a chugging meathead, still that anime and Detroit Metal City def made me love playing guitar even more.
Kinda wish they had an anime with something involving metal band stuff, but I'll patiently wait when they do one. lol
Awesome
I’ll waiting for the part 2 of bocchi second guitar 😋
Good ol Les paul custom; dad had one and sold it for close to 5k cad 5 years ago. "peircing solos" is the best way to describe it. Nowhere near as easy to play even when fully set up, as a higher end fender stratocaster. My experience is very limited and my skills are on the low mediocre side. Just interesting to see why I always felt the bocchi songs sounded familiar considering i grew up always hearing that guitar AND amp setup.
yeah they just sound killer
This anime literally got me into playing guitar and I even bought one right after 😍 it’s like how haikyuu got many people into volleyball
It's the hitmarks that gets me
The point of weight on a Les Paul is so true. I feel like it could easily break my foot if i dropped it. Mine weighs probably 10-15lbs and it is a shoulder buster for sure. Its why i rarely use it now, in favor of a vintage jazzmaster style Kawai/Teisco guitar thats far lighter and more comfortable to use.
I actually started playing guitar cause of the show k-on but I think I’ll have to take a look at bocchi the rock when I get the time!
when I just finished highschool I really wanted to get this guitar. Ofc i had no money so ended up getting an epiphone black beauty and its still a gem to play to this day.
that's great :)
