I recently posted about the new collaboratively designed Chapman Guitars ML2 and I was so impressed with not only the idea of a collaboratively designed guitar but also how Rob has managed to gain such a following by the use of his YouTube channel and forum (www.monkeylord.co.uk/forum/) that I thought it would be good to catch up via the magic of Skype for a quick chat, however it wasn’t such a quick chat as Rob was more than happy to talk all things Chapman and Monkey Lord for ages and even face interruption from my daughter who apparently wanted to meet Rob too. I decided to chop the interview up into 2 parts as there was too much goodness to leave out. Rob shared info and background about how he started his own Guitar brand, his band Monkey Lord, his new DVD soon to be released “Shreducation” and documentaries about Cheetahs!

Many thanks to Rob for taking the time to talk to me I hope you enjoy the interview.

Check out Rob’s site www.monkeylord.co.uk/ which will soon relaunch and house all of his brands including Chapman guitars.
