Had the pleasure of knowing and playing with Bob for around 15 yrs. He passed at 88 October of 2022. I miss him everyday. I miss playing and all the long phone calls. He was a very interesting man. It was a joy to know Bob!! He never acted his age and was a blast to play the music he wrote and loved!! Bob Wood was a very special man!! A tresure to those who knew and loved him!!

My 83-year-old father still stays at my little farm for 3 to 4 weeks every summer, helping with repairs and building new things. He really enjoys it, not only because it is something else than sitting at home at the computer screen, but also because he can once again use and show off all the skills he aquired in his first work as a ship builder over half a century ago. We started this tradition 23 years ago when I just bought the farm and we repaired the old barn, just the two of us, putting up 15 foot poles with the help of only some rope and two car jacks. Also a great way to spend time together and listen to the stories from his youth. Hope he'll be around for many more years. Listen to old people. They have the knowledge and the wisdom that so many lack in today's world.

Being able to play with that much speed and accuracy is like having great athletic ability. There are 20 year olds who could practice 8 hours a day and never play that fast. So I guess you could say he’s got great genes for guitar playing. With a killer ear to boot. I’m just jealous cause I never had either.
@TommyPleasure10 ай бұрын
@@TitanicConcertsYes, a lot of the ability to play fast is genetic. I started playing when I was a young child and people always told me that I had fast fingers, esp on piano. I remember once when I was much younger and before I had developed my repertoire of tunes this lady told me that I could play much faster than alot of people who’ve been playing for years. I also think it’s one of those things where you either have the capacity for fast play or you don’t. Because I’ve seen plenty of fine musicians who can play but could never play very fast. And of course fast playin on its own, doesn’t mean anything to musicality of it LACKS soul, feel, time and rhythm.

@@TommyPleasureno it’s not strictly genetic.

I fast forwarded through the video to hear him play. I heard about 99% some woman’s voice, and about onepercent guitar playing. The only thing missing, was that woman standing in front of the camera, talking into a microphone blocking our view of bob completely.. The day after I saw the Beatles live on Ed Sullivan back in the early 60s when I was in grade school. I woke up the next morning and there was a guitar on the kitchen table. Here 60 years later, I am still trying to learn how to play the guitar… I have been in bands, one band was a three-piece band, and I met the bass player for the very first time at our first gig at some bar/restaurant.. I’ve been in rock bands, I tried a country western band, that was not my favorite music, but a coworker friend of mine asked me just to stand in because his guitar player quit. That was the only band I was ever in that I didn’t need furniture movers to move my equipment to and from the site… and we could’ve worked five nights a week if we didn’t have day jobs. The bar owners prefer the country western crowd to the rock band kids. Because the kids will nurse a draft beer and they start trouble. The country western gang drinks, Jack, Daniels, and they are no trouble… but here almost 60 years later, the better I get, the more I realize I don’t know how to play it all. When I go into a music store to check out the new Guitars. I would never humiliate myself by plugging in a guitar and trying it out in the store on a Saturday when it’s full of kids in their late teens and early 20s. those kids learned from watching videos on KZbin from guitar gods that teach how to play. Guys like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai,/, Michael, Angelo, YINGWIE. I could get by doing the stones or Led Zeppelin, kiss, Ted Nugent call my guys like that if I did, they’re simple stuff. But these guitar gods today., They make me realize that I have no idea what I’m doing

Certainly the Brit mods & rockers appreciated him, including George Harrison. Les Paul's music was a tad too old-school / cornball for some of the guys born in the 40s; but then, most folks were intrigued by his technical innovations & audio gimmicks.

@@pbasswil excellent analogy of the situation. Either way,pops was for real on that guitar 🎸. I liked how he humbly said that wasn't even his best,he could've done better,and I believed him.

He said “as long as you spell my name right” and they didn’t even say his name or put it in the description and talked over his whole performance

I was in a pawn shop in my hometown when an older gentleman about Bob's age asked to see a Telecaster hanging on the wall. Playing without an amp, he ripped it up! Chicken Pickin', double and triple bends. Unbelievable! Blew my mind. Come to find out later he was an original member of the Riders of the Purple Sage. He ripped it and handed it back and walked out. Simple as that. My jaw was on the floor.

I'm amazed by chicken pickin'. But like shred, it's not in my skill-set.

@@mr.d.572 Same here. Shredding doesn't really move me. For me, it's all in the picking hand. That's where the sound comes from.

He's just a pup compared to Keith Richards. He's at least 102 years old.
