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

Sorry I pressed the thumbs up myself. Thank you for liking my comment. Anybody out there like Walter Becker's playing?

@@clivelangston8940 Walter is a very underrated Guitarist

He has the blues ☠️

Man you arent kidding!

As are both of you sir,peace.

TomoFujitaMusic showing much respect Tomo.

I watch this every week

The most wholesome man on KZfaq ladies and gentlemen.

@@Philrc Lets see the evidence eh? Kind of agree but lets see you compose a ford esque track .

Why so inpolite?

@@Philrc STOP PULLING YOUR PLONKER

@@rogerelton6791 the expression is "pulling MY plonker" Rog, O illiterate one. Do you even know what it means??

+John Buffaloe how does one find out about these? i live in SB and would die to sit in.

Check his website.

thanks for the wealth of knowledge there champ.

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?

+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.

+Neil Robinson That amazing moment when you discover an artist of this hugeness! I envy you, a lot. Robben is incredible on stage but has lot of amazing records on his back. I hope that in this 9 months you could find his work interesting! Cheers.

Just look into his resume, I have yet to encounter one more impressive.

I think classy is a very correct word to describe Robben Ford's style :)

THE best !

He pulls it out of his ass that's the best concept you can teach lol

+Andy Levin His ass? Where smelly unwanted waste comes from? It comes from 1000's of hours of practice and his mind and his heart and a place of humility!

That was a complete stupid fool..

He wasn't teaching; it was an Improv!

I think we both agree he is brilliant

3 seconds are enough for me, bloody 12 bars, kids stuff

Thank god you were around to tell us idiots.

This might not be out of my reach, but I do love it.

I’m totally with you

@@guitarttimman brother I'm not going to argue with you but I watched your videos and you're not cracked up to be what you say.. this is waaaaay further out of your reach. And mine. Keep practicing

@@mjs2016 So who's league are we in? Ted Nugent? lol

@@mjs2016 Oh did I mention that Robben and I are close friends? I have actually written for him before too. I actually can play what he plays and the same is true for him, but I stay in the background. We're actually like brothers he and I.

Was thinking the same thing. I keep coming back to this video once in a while...

He seems a likeable person

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

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.

Yes hes my clapton,beck,hendrix ect all in one brilliant player.

Or if you are looking on this performemcr from the other side. So is it just some playing sloppy

WOW Robben Ford....@@AnjektusStudio

u look like one in that profile pic.😨

a kitten inside

🆒

High end guitars are really overrated, any modern guitar that is set up well and had the proper care with fret dressing will play beautifully. Look at jack Pearson as well. The man plays on a squire half the time and it sounds incredible

Its an Epiphone from the early 60's. A far cry from an Epi 335 at your local music mart.

Adam Horvath Yes, I agree to a certain extent, but Epiphone 335 today at your local music mart is really not half bad. I bought one to add to the collection. Before I purchased it, we heard an employee at the shop playing the Gibson vs the Epiphone model. They were just about identical in sound. There were other seasoned musicians in there listening, And every single one of them said the exact same thing. I guess my point is, that microscopic difference isn’t worth the $3,000-$4,000 gap between the two instruments in my opinion. Notice I said “in my opinion.” Lol.

@@matthewlogan6501 I agree 100%. All I wanted to point out to all our fellow guitar nerds is that he is playing a vintage 50-60's era Epiphone. Very similar tones and chops can be easily had with ANY guitar with the right know how. I think in the end its all about the P word..

Practice!... you sickos ;)
