    Robben is so down to earth. I have seen him live once, and his feel is unmatched. I got a chance to talk with him for a while, and he's just such a real person. He said it, he brings the jazz chords to his Chicago blues gig.

    Folks this guy is the best we will ever see in our lifetime. A true treasure for all us amateurs. I spent my life emulating EVH, SRV, John Mayer among many others but Robben is from another place musically . If you’re just starting out, PLEASE pay attention to him. Can’t go without mentioning Eric Johnson as well. Phenomenal. Jerry Reed, Danny Gatton and Roy Buchannon are pretty good too lol!!!!! If you’re young ( I’m 50) please go back and let these guys show you how it’s done, then the most important point is to develop YOUR own style. Stand out for goodness sake.

    Soo much respect: talent? Yeah, a lot of people have that... but Robben seems approachable, nice and thoughtful as he is talented, and THOSE things in combination and in seemingly equal measure is RARE, and makes me respect him immensely as not only a musician but equally importantly (at least to me) AS A HUMAN BEING.

  • @closeoutsaleusa5322
    @closeoutsaleusa5322 Před 2 lety +1

    I've always played a game called: Stay In Key - where I will pick a key and play notes up and down the neck, not caring about making "statements" with the notes or playing licks - just playing notes and staying in key. I started doing that when I was 19 (played since I was 12) and I'm still doing at at the age of 64. Great way to warm up and I've created some new songs and riffs by doing that. And some of my "mistakes" wound up being some of my best compositions.

    50's gold top. Robben was a major influence on me and still is. I'm just now learning his pick palming technique. Lari Basilio was the one that pushed me to palm my pick but never took time to do so. I have wonky fingers.

    1 of the top 100 players. Mmm. Probably the top 1 I’d say top 5 easy but for his ability to do blues, jazz, rock etc the early years are awesome, you can name lots of guitarist’s but I feel this guys feel musically is by far the best, I’ve seen many live musicians, including Robben ford You can tell that he’s listening to everyone play whatever instrument they play and takes what his heard makes it is own, and better. Not about speed just what sounds good. Effortlessly genius.
