Robben Ford is a legend. Universally loved and respected. He's a gift. Thank you for all you do Robben.

[@EvanJr]

[@tetra3000]

Love how to just suddenly plays and all improv, what a legend on guitar

[@WickBeavers]

Really great, Robben, thanks!

[@musicproductioncentral4540]

Now THATS what a guitar should sound like. DAMN!!

[@emmanuelgunn8484]

Robben Ford is the man!!

[@BrandochGarage]

I've been waiting to watch this one uninterrupted. Love this Guy!

[@alainkempa2139]

I m lying sick in my bed and it has been a pleasure to listen to R.F. Now I understand better his jazzy influence as he used to be a saxophonist.

I just tested positive for Covid yesterday and I'm lying in bed doing the same

Brewing a fresh pot of coffee for this! Thanks for the upload.

[@kennethhacker1341]

Hahahaha me 2..might put a shot of espresso in my cup lol!

[@incelthirdworld9858]

a joint and a cup of coffee will serve my journey of guitar knowledge

[@cirimaxg651]

I'd say he deserves the title of "one of the 5 greatest guitarists of the 20th century" ...... He is a legend and .....a gentleman.

[@PeterKertesz2013]

Robben Ford is a gift 🎸🎵

[@HendryWong324]

you know what. the best thing of this video, of course, Robben! but other than that, it's the 'live' guitar sound not some kind of 'recorded' sound from the mic. i think that is more true, or reality thing for the people behind the screen like me now. thank you so much!

[@hanskung3278]

Love this, the insights are priceless, truly.

[@christianisaacchannel]

Thank you Sir.👍

[@hanskung3278]

[@TheGurner1]

Robben great as always - would have been nice if the camera showed the guitar front on though

[@georgemouchaty1104]

R. Ford yes you play jazz as well, in your early days you played great jazz

[@kennethhacker1341]

Love robin !!glad he is healthy and still rocking the house

[@RambleTone]

Wow amazing! So informative

[@geoguitar1950]

Is that a couple of Super Reverbs I see on stage? Amazing tone! Robben's explanations are way over my head, but still I love his playing. Would have been great to be there but this vid makes up for it. Cheers.

Super moment musical merci monsieur Robben

[@TeamCapioandFriendsTCAF]

Wow! Thank you for sharing bro

[@christianisaacchannel]

Your Welcome Bro.

[@georgechapogas1054]

Henry V disappeared to a bar in Eugene Oregon, played my house warming. We played at his wake.

[@guitarman6742]

He has a very nice way about himself.

[@gdavis2018]

This stood out to me, loosely paraphrased: In Blues guitar you have so many individual voices, the most out there. More than jazz where maybe there are 5 or so? More than that chugga chugga stuff for sure. It seems very true to me.

[@JohnWoodsrd]

I first saw him at Stanford University with the LA Express and George Duke. George Duke was the headliner. And then I saw him at yo.Shi's and then I saw him and katani california

[@hanskung3278]

I think Robben is just a natural, not big on theory, not always accurate but it doesn't matter, he's got an ear and natural talent, just my opinion.

[@michelbayock]

Sachez qu’il y a eu 12 répliques de sa telecaster custom shop en 2012. elles ne sont pas signatures. La reproduction est basée sur le numéro de serie d’origine…..chouuuu bisous

[@moreorlesslikeso]

I have to disagree with Robben (my apologies, if I've got him wrong here...) that there aren't almost any guitar players who are playing (I guess: electric and more or less „charged“) Blues and sort of taking it further by means of (advanced) knowledge of musical theory plus the ability to put it into their actual playing: just look at players like Scott Henderson (who's been doing it for decades now) and - more recently - Josh Smith or Oz Noy. And these 3 won't by no means be the only ones you'll find if you take a closer look around.

[@jazzercaster4749]

Agreed, I feel like Robben can be in his own world sometimes which can explain his lack of collaboaration or connection to some of those guys you mentioned. I've met people who feel very unique and special (verging on being a know it all) but they become very uncomfortable when comfronted with people as good or better than they are.

[@hanskung3278]

He's got an opinion, that's all.

[@moreorlesslikeso]

@@hanskung3278 Being the professional he is that opinion should be based on facts, though.

[@fqjcior]

True. However, he mentioned he listens mostly to jazz music and sax players. So he can be not aware of all these great guitar players you mentioned.... But - I mean, really - is it possible to not know Scott Henderson? The other thing is Robben sounds like nobody else. He is definitely not under an influence of any contemporary guitar player. But many are under his influence. Me including. :)

[@m.r.2183]

He’s rooted in the 60s which is cool but I think he is missing out on many excellent players. Disagree that blues guitar is the most unique guitar sound. So many people are still copying Albert King.

[@michelbayock]

Le maître incontestable…..

[@audiofella5066]

ok cool vid but if it is a guitar class why does no one have a guitar in front of them LOL???

[@joserra79]

Because it´s a master class and it is not a groupal therapy. You hear what a legend says, you take mental or written notes and you practice later at home. Put attention in what he says and plays is much more important than playing the same in front of him.

[@JuanBautistaSilva1]

he just tuned the guitar it by ear jeje

[@leer.2137]

Do a sound check before you go on stage??

[@lefujyou]

Hmmmmmm..........not sure about some of that!

[@crazywisdom2]

I may need some Dramamine in a minute ..

[@robflewell7706]

There sure is an audience demographic there! Lol

[@hanskung3278]

Seems like musicians are competitive, why else would Clapton, and others, want to give up playing after seeing and listening to Hendrix?

[@GrovesGuitars]

Looks like a tough gig. Like trying to entertain a room full of 85 year old bald women while they knit Christmas sweaters. 🤷
