Robbens dynamics is just insane. he has such a distinct touch when he plays switching from fingers to pick to jazzy thumbed chord voicings.

@stevelogan1699 4 года назад

I had to keep reminding myself that this was just one man and one guitar (no looper, no effects and hardly an explicit anchoring chord, yet the whole thing feels complete). Glorious.

@justsomeguy1074 Год назад

He's anchored, some would say trapped, by 3 chords.

@renomountainfolk9602 Год назад

LIVE.. 5:07 of Improvisation!! No tricks, No gimmicks, nothing but a lifetime of soul inside pouring out. One of the blues masters. Children take note.

I watch this video like once a month. His playing is so pure and genuine and tasteful.. I’m not normally spiritual, but I thank the universe that we have Robben Ford.

@fernandovincenzini1664 4 года назад

No doubt Ford and Carlton are the top of the heap. Roben less jazzy and more direct blues approach can only be described as classy and tasteful. A pleasure to listen and watch.

@johnbuffaloe9160 9 лет назад

His gift is in the phrasing. Yes he can blaze, but he is always playing the scale that runs through the chord; a very huge element to his uniqueness. I've taken two of his master classes in Ojai, CA, and it definitely moved me out of my box. Can I do any of the stuff he does? No, but his classes broke the barriers I was stuck in.

@SouthlandHeritage 8 лет назад

I wasn't trying to be rude. I had tried the site the instant I had heard about the clinics.. I don't know if you were just so excited in the attempt to stick to me; but like I found when I had checked the site then, it's only up to date until 5/12/2015 so it does no good to anyone for now. Thanks anyway?

@johnbuffaloe9160 8 лет назад

+Jacob S I was being rude and I apologize. I didn't look at the website, just posted the url from memory. I did some other searching and really couldn't come up with much. I remember some rumors from a couple of years ago that Robben wanted to slow down and work less. There's a site called "Robben Ford Discussion Index" that has a lot of participation on all things Robben. You could post a question there and see if anyone knows anything. I don't have that url and can't get it on this little tablet without losing this post. Good luck. He was also a guest artist at a National Guitar Workshops class I took in 2005. He's really very shy but willing to have an intelligent discussion or answer a question.

@davidlamb6443 4 года назад

This is the level of playing you get when you live with a guitar in your hands from sun up to sun down. Few have that kind of time or even the will to do so. Robben is an amazing guitarist.( understatement)

20 years ago I saw him at Jazz Alley in Seattle. Initially there was only one show, but so many people wanted to get in to see him that they added a second show that attenders of the first show could stay for. It was an incredible experience and I’m really grateful that I had the pleasure of seeing him perform.

In the early days of the internet, I read an interview with Peter Frampton, a guitarist that everyone has heard of. He mentioned being a fan of Robben, who I had heard of but was not familiar with. Soon after, I purchased a cd copy of “Handful of Blues” by Robben Ford and the Blue Line. Been a fan ever since. Unique tone and style, and I can’t tell where the blues ends and the jazz starts, or vice-versa!😎 Always interesting!

Hands down the most humble, talented guitarist of our time. Don’t get me wrong , there are a lot of GREATS out there. SRV comes to mind, John Mayer doesn’t get the credit he deserves, but Robben is just on a whole other level. Pure musician......rare these days.

@tomasotreasaigh111 4 года назад

Do you really think that John Mayer "doesnt get the credit he deserves"? I thought he got plenty of recognition???

@rahoo4114 4 года назад

I just was about to say that. Mayer is girly selled as a cute boy with a guitar, more like a lullaby singer for the ladies, great musician thou, blues minimal, great sounding, a bit sell-out composer. Look at Kenny Wayne Shepherd to see what he would be doing if money wouldn't matter. Robben he is beyond any guitar player. Never to good to not sound blues, and a great taste for acid licks. In his early days with Miles he was a funky beast.

There's not many people in the world who can pick up a guitar and play like this. This is guitar playing at it's best, no pedals, no effects, each note has meaning. All guitarist should pay particular attention to the perfect phrasing, a mature tradesman at work. If I was on a bus or a plane or walking along a busy street and I heard this guitar playing, I'd know right away it was The Master Guitar Player, Robben Ford.
