Affirmation • Joe Robinson • George Benson / Jose Feliciano Arrangement • Solo Guitar

[@emilmikkelsen9910]

You’re one of the best in the world! The technique and dynamic control you have is jaw dropping! You sound like you have so much control over each individual string even though you play all of them at the same time. You deserve way more recognition than you get...

[@mackaaron9842]

A tip: you can watch movies at Kaldrostream. Been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.

[@rexalonzo921]

@Mack Aaron yup, been using kaldrostream for years myself =)

[@MrRonnmaui]

I use listen to Benson a ton in the late 70's and 80s'. Love to hear how you make it all work together.

[@orpiv]

Joe the one man band plays rhythm, lead melody, bass and percussion...Virtuosity!

[@christiandaniel8400]

So happy to just see Jose Feliciano’s name in a title. The man is a BEAST and blind. I almost never see or hear his name come up in all the videos of the people I follow here

[@Baerno]

But can you play "Smoke on the water"? Just messin'. Flawless as usual!

[@Joe_Robinson]

Haha

[@chelosocal8704]

Amazing version

[@brettgarsed]

Bloody amazing Joe, just absolutely bloody amazing!

[@Joe_Robinson]

Wow, so nice to see a comment from you Brett!!! I hope you are keeping well mate. You’ve always been one of my favorite musicians. Great memories of being in Perth with the Farnham crew. Cheers mate, great to hear from you

[@fenderbender28]

World classsss!!!

[@matthewschad6689]

Listening to joe makes u wanna go home and practice! So clean. Absolutely incredible

[@Kameron081789]

Joe, you are a freaking legend! I cannot get enough of listening to this

[@normafrancos4036]

Awesomeness 🎸@ Jay Mic

[@andrewfrancis7739]

Never heard of the song before, but it is such a joy to watch and listen to you play it. I need to see you live this year.

[@workcloz]

Greetings from Woodstock VA of USA, John R here.......your playing has the gypsy soul......its a pleasure to listen to your music .....

[@ryanbarkey6203]

Unreal! Incredible arrangement. This is inspiring on so many levels! What sticks out though is the incredibly light touch and smoothness in your playing, you really do have “invisible technique”! Just want to encourage you and you should know your making a difference in a ton of peoples guitar journey!🙏

[@brigittetorres9745]

❤️🎶❤️ oh Joe 😲 i love it ! You are the most original and creative musician 👍 👏👏👏 MERCI 🙏🙏🙏

[@JeffDochow]

BRILLIANT! Despite the song being written in a minor key, your arrangement has captured the happiness, plus the haunting jazz flavours and the greasy blues/rock mood. Would you consider doing this on your 58 Gretch? I think it might bring out all the cool stuff in it. Thanks.

[@lorenzolarue337]

....OK, that is just an 'I can't believe it" arrangement, holy friggin' crap, I'm drooling!....

[@КонстантинШипилов-р9у]

Чувство чистого восторга

[@Miarchieve]

I think I'm born just to listen to this song. I'm so lucky today !

[@13thAMG]

Joe, if you haven't met George yet, you should get Tommy to introduce you (I'll mention it to Tommy if I catch up with him when he's back here in Oz) and George should definitely see this video. All my playing life I've wanted to learn Affirmation this well. Still eludes me. Other than Jose I've never seen this song done on Acoustic. You just took this to a whole other level. Wow. Incredible. The Apprentice had become the Master. And you're only 29??? You wee bugger! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Well done on all you have achieved, buddy. You deserve it.

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Three of the best, Joe, George and Jose.

[@larrydamico907]

This is so good!

[@hackerbuff]

Awesome, Awesome and did I say Awesome! Bravo Joe!

[@LowRoad]

Not just the wonderful way you play it, but the guitar itself... a wonderful guitar, I must say. Keep playing that one as much as you can. I am a fan of you both!

[@essentiallocalleads5392]

I could do that.....!! In my dreams! Saw GB does this at Red Rocks in Colorado in 1977! He played the entire Breezin' album. Incredible!

[@tookamooka]

Never heard a fingerstyle arrangement like this before! Such panache! Love those Benson octave slides, too!

[@musardollarmanthekenyandru9523]

Unbelievable. Kazi fiti umekafunga mse!

[@tylerjordanguitar]

Mr. Robinson, you are truly one of the greats. Well done!

[@cardosoguitarra]

Bravo! 👏👏👏

[@jluv2301]

Best version ever heard been playing this and listening to this track before George’s version which was as still is one of my Favs...Smokin is all you need to say...You are a talent m8 Beautiful...a lesson would be Great.. maybe Tim van Roy might do one Yeah

[@jurgenbaert3108]

Dear Joe Would you please give a tutorial for Affirmation. I played it with a Pik (Benson version). But I like your right hand picking. Unique.

[@Joe_Robinson]

Thanks Jurgen! I’m planning on uploaded a tutorial to my Guitar Synergy channel soon!

[@matzac97]

I'm keeping following you since a little decade not only because you are a great guitarist but also because you are a great musician and a nice guy 👍💪👌🤘🎼🎵🎶

Used to listen to the Breezin' album every afternoon after work back in the late '70's.... always played this side first ;) Awesome version but I have come to expect nothing less from "Mr. Joe Robinson" ... Thanks for doing what you do! Had me wondering what you would do with "Mediterranean Sundance" ;)

[@michaelmcfarland842]

Silly good!

[@ricardopardal3389]

Perfect !

[@abhishekrajshrestha7303]

I wanna play like this

[@TLMuse]

Spooky-I was checking out some George Benson videos on KZbin in the last few days, and then you post this brilliant take on "Affirmation." Wow, what a tour-de-force, not just of playing technique, but also of feel and arranging. It's a jazz-pop tune, but you brought to it that Aussie-Nashville funky country thing you're creating, and it works. And that intro-some of the most gorgeous playing I've heard recently. I picked up the tab while listening a second time (though it's a bit beyond me and I'll only be able to steal a few ideas from it). Bravo! -Tom

[@markbraxton1289]

Joe do you still play electric? I made up a guitar for Tommy Emmanuel a few years ago...but couldn't get it to him ..he moves around so much...lol ..it's different from other guitars it's actually a 12 string that i bring down to a 6 string but add 2 bass strings on the bottom end ...E and A ..bass guitar with E A guitar...a lot of bottom end ..works great...for blues ,boogie ,the boom chick style ect ...very full sound ..if your interested just comment here and maybe we can take it further...

[@NobredeLima-t9r]

There is an album by origin - vanilla that uses this sample

[@joelkeeley793]

You should have a go at "Lady" from the same record. Harmonically sophisticated and I think you'd nail it!

[@zlfkrs]

👏👏

[@leon5370]

new bee joe！😜😜😜

Hey Joe have you listened to jamesons revenge, the back of beyond yet bro?

[@martinliljegren7778]

Holy smoke👍❤️

[@hortonro]

Thought you might've used the GB10 for this cover Joe...sounds great as is though.

[@Joe_Robinson]

Thanks Rob! Planning on doing an electric version too!

[@1alb]

Fabulous version - You are my new favourite player. And the first time I’ve heard the kind of tone I enjoy from a Maton guitar, with all respect to the players who play them. What model is it?

[@Drenius]

0 dislikes, thats how good this is
