Brooks Robertson
United States
Registrace 14. 11. 2009
The protégé of Buster B. Jones, Brooks Robertson just doesn't need much more than two thumbs, eight fingers and six strings on a wooden box to carry his listeners away. At 34 years old, Brooks continues perfecting his craft, as well as composing his own groovy and soulful original music - carrying on the legacy of Fingerstyle players such as Buster B. Jones, Thom Bresh, Jerry Reed, Chet Atkins, and more. He is currently an assistant professor in the Guitar Department at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA.

"I was completely knocked out with the acoustic guitar virtuosity of Brooks Robertson! Brooks has a very original touch and sound plus monster chops. He's always making great music with his guitar. I'm sure Brooks will be sharing his music with the entire world and have an incredible career." Lee Ritenour

"First Born (Seidina)" Jerry Reed | Cover by Brooks Robertson | Solo Fingerstyle Guitar
Here's my take on Jerry Reed's tune "First Born (Seidina)" from the Chet & Jerry album Sneakin' Around. Such a beautiful tune that really speaks for itself. Special thanks to Rick Peckham for teaching me how to play this one, it's really become one of my favorites.

Well, I say, hot dang.
This is the absolute best video I’ve found explaining this lick popularized in Glen Campbell’s “Southern Nights.” There’s a live video of that song where he credits Jerry showing him this lick. Thanks!
Not so far from Bluesland... In a good manner
Wow!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
😅in italiano bravo ❤
Mind blowing Brooks 🎉 Are the lessions of this song available on your Fingerstyle Toolbox 😊
I just keep playing this video.
Master piece!
Master piece!
Sounds great
thanks Brooks! Jerry will always live because of you and Richard Smith and maybe a couple others.
I love it Brooks! Nice tempo! Jerry played it so fast that some of the details got lost. Good rhythm section too!
Beautiful guitar!
That's straight getting it dude!
Beautiful ! Do you have a recorded lesson for Jerry reed version of wabash cannonball?
Excellent ! Your playing is really great on this wonderful Thom Bresh song, thank you so much for sharing it ! 😊
Very nice👌🏾my friend😊
Been a while since I've been here. Always a delight to listen to you Brooks! I also miss the Buster! 🎸
Brooks you are a freaking monster
The man can play a guitar
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sweet picking. Brooks.
You are Amazing !
It’s such a lovely and beautiful tune. Brooks is a true guitar hero.
The question remains, how did buster’s mind come up with this composition? It’s incredible to play, but to come up with it is another story!
Wow! I really like that guitar in your hands. Sounds perfect! I liked the volume up on this one.
Fine guitar playing. Very nice
Trop bien! Il faut que j'apprenne ce morceau
Génial !
Beautiful, Brooks!!
nice
This is simply lovely. Even when you recreate Jerry (note for note) your OWN heart and feelings explode from this classic in a way that keeps it sounding young and fresh. As always… bloody well done, my brother. Thanks for sharing this- I needed a touch of depth and sweet sadness today and didn’t even know it until I put this video on. Crafted in the soul and on display bravely for the whole world to see.
Brilliant work Brooks 👍🎶
Bravo! amazing. finally, classical guitar doesn't sound boring)
Wonderful lesson from a really fine player. Thanks for your generosity . You sound great 😎👋👋👋
Grande Brooks …. Thanks!!
So beautiful! thanks! Can you share the sheet music of this one please?
Elegantly played brooks
Just stunning Brooksie… 💕
美しい曲だ！！ 高音部の魅力的な旋律に呼応するような低音の動きにやられました♡
Simply wonderful, Brooks! What a joy to listen to you play. Hope your travels bring you back to Lord of the Strings soon. All my best - Kieran
Great playing from Brooks as always. One of my top favorite players. I can't believe I actually had the honor and privilege to meet the beautiful lady this song was written about. Seidina is as classy and beautiful as this song. Miss my CAAS friends and family.
HOSS!!!! I ❤ IT!!! 🤟🤠🤟
Professor Brooks smashing some Jerry yesss

Smooth as always brother
Wow,, Jerry really got in the classical/pop woods for this one. It’s beautiful!
