Wow, gorgeous tone and lovely playing

[@2dollarsaday]

I would love to trade my car for this guitar but my car isn’t worth enough. Beautiful playing!

[@franksabatino7576]

As usual, Bob's playing is subtle and humbly beautiful.

[@signed8bit]

Such cool guitars!

[@UAL320]

Nice soft touch….

[@marcmaschal2897]

Nice job.My cousin,Ben Maschal makes these beautiful guitars.

[@johnviolette5511]

Bob, you and Kenny Smith are 2 of my favorite pickers. Love your cross picking.

[@mp6448]

Your playing is so incredibly beautiful to listen to. I’m trying to teach myself to play, but its not going well. Any advice for learning guitar? @Bob Minner

[@MC-mi4ck]

[@missouriboy66]

It is.

[@daveclevenger9210]

น้ำเสียง ดังพุ่ง พลังเต็มเปี่ยม ไพเราะมากไปครับ

[@jorvand3190]

Subtle indeed, Frank Sabatino, and a unique voice. I always watch these videos with my guitar on my lap, trying to imitate the playing. You can have the best afternoon doing just that. Thanks and keep posting!

[@franksabatino7576]

Thanks for your kind words Jor.

[@AllenShadd]

Cool tune, done well (as usual). The guitar sounds great.

Lovely work Bob! I'm glad that this tune is well on its way to becoming a new standard.

[@steveblanchard2712]

Nice an chimey......very good.

[@mcmule2007]

Beautiful playing and fantastic sounding guitar.

[@petrvacek7057]

unbelievable sound, besides the flawless playing

[@keithhunter3910]

True that.

[@federicobozzo2858]

Lovely playing as always Bob

[@scazmando1930]

Just wonderful!!! What gorgeous tone!!!

[@DaveDiprose]

Sounds wonderful

[@jgreen6434]

That was fucking awesome! Mesmerizing!

[@bobsmith-ji2uh]

That’s so great. Can maybe one of you more knowledgeable people out there recommend an acoustic album with songs like this?

[@franksabatino7576]

I tried to find any cds by Bob but couldn't. Another fine flatpicker is David Grier. His cd I've Got The House to Myself is one of my favorites.

[@blaircrawford8143]

Check out Martin Simpson. Wonderful English player.

[@mcmule2007]

Bob's album "Solo" would be a great start. I also like Robert Bowlin's "Six String Soliloquy". Fingerpicker Eric Skye also has a quite a few videos of him flatpicking fiddle tunes in a solo context.

[@bobsmith-ji2uh]

@@mcmule2007 I listened to “solo”. Really great playing. Good recommendation thanks.

[@theovandervegt4150]

Mooi gespeeld, Bob.

[@mbride8973]

Beautiful flatpicking. What happened in 1883?

[@missouriboy66]

My boss Tim McGraw was in the Paramount series 1883.

[@phteachfire7]

Clean

[@thumbpickfingers]

Nicely and fluidly played. What was the loudest acoustic guitar you have ever played? I'm asking sheer volume, not tone.

[@missouriboy66]

Easily my 1936 D-18. Drives nails in walls…

[@thumbpickfingers]

Haha, thank you. I kind of expected you to say that or some other Martin dread, though I was ready for a surprise answer as well.

[@zimmcal]

Bravo

[@joonlaukamp2082]

damn tasty af!!

[@truthray2885]

Beautiful playing on a beautiful guitar.

[@MM-ib6qh]

This is really really nice. Is this DADGAD tuning?

[@missouriboy66]

Thanks. No standard drop D.
