Nearly ten years , over 2000 video demos , and almost 200 million video views . These are the current stats on the Proguitarshopdemos YouTube channel as of the time of this writing . It should go without saying that these are big numbers , epic numbers even . The PGS and TRW crew is rightfully and fiercely proud of these numbers , and in many ways the relentless production of consistent , high quality demos is what made this business viable to begin with . It is still the primary reason behind the continued success of Pro Guitar Shop and Tone Report Weekly . This is the core of our legacy , and the legacy of our company founder , the late Aaron Miller .
These days we have diversified our stable of highly skilled demo dudes , but our main man , the one who started it all , continues to be the estimable Sir Andrew
Martin . As one of the first producers of professional quality stompbox videos on YouTube , Andy ’ s skills and ears shaped the video demo scene into what it is today , and he continues to elevate the game on a daily basis . His formidable playing , keen tone shaping instincts , dulcet toned voiceovers , and affable everyman persona have combined to make him one of the most respected and beloved guitarists on YouTube .
If it sounds like I ’ m doing a lot of gratuitous horn tooting , it ’ s because we are rapidly approaching the decade anniversary of our YouTube channel and the video debut of Andy Martin . As of November 6 , 2017 , we will be at exactly the ten-year mark , so we thought it appropriate to take some time and revisit some of our greatest hits . Thus , with a lot of input from Andy , and a lot of words and opinions from me , we have assembled a Top Ten list worthy of David Letterman , featuring a double-fistful of Andy Martin ’ s greatest video demonstrations .
