You've always been my favorite. I can watch you playing for hours.

[@Morten6842]

Love this song. The tiger walk album is just a masterpiece.

[@mylifeasacat20]

I also think so😊

[@ampgent]

My favorite album of Robben’s

[@rocker341000]

So much healing in Robben’s playing. Been listening for 35 years. Always life giving. Much love from Australia

[@tnvalleyyoga7122]

Hey Robben, I'll be 70 in August and when young I played and got OK at a beginner level but life happens and at age 62 started playing again and decided I would, this time round learn music rather than just playing a few chords and your programs and post of all kind have inspired me and I'm now playing at an intermediate level. I have my arpeggios down pretty good and have started working on the diminished sound, your programs are a blessing to me. Keep on keeping on.

[@landajimmy]

Get into some jazz tunes so you can learn some of the language he uses.

[@MrDallman]

His phrasing is out of this world as is everything he does…..mercurial.

[@volt0z]

Time, tone, technique, phrasing, soul! Masterfully!

[@rebeccastone3301]

One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE MUSICIANS. Robben doesn’t just play a song … he IS THE SONG.

[@MOAB-UT]

Well said.

[@MAP448]

I woke up today & as always had a guitar in my hands before breakfast. I try to do that every day several times a day. Just to put a guitar in my hands & force myself to play something because lately I've been feeling very uninspired. This type of thing happens to musicians, singers, songwriters...etc, but every time I listen to you Robben. I always leave feeling inspired. To try something new or even take something old & just move inside it a different way. There are so few people that really have the ability to do what you do. How your music moves people is something very special. Thank you for giving your everything to everyone. Thank you Sir Robben.

[@frankadams4586]

Robben and these cats show that great music can be achieved without high volume and bombast. Taste, dynamics, truly listening and playing complimentary parts always produces fantastic results. Bravo….

[@MGeofire]

Tele sounds as good as ever, accompaniment subtle, smooth and in the pocket. A very gittme and groovy sound. Thank you, gents.

[@sheercerebralpower]

I am soooo stoked that my tele looks exactly like Robben's, albeit from 66. A guitar which I really love....and play a lot.....

[@tele68]

Yes, I know what you mean. Mine is a '61.

[@brachashighhopeshomestead226]

@@tele68 Can you 2 make your Tele's sing like Robben's? even in 4 lifetimes it would be a miracle... but you have your voices, go for it!

[@guitareputz]

so weird that this was in my home screen just now, I played this CD on my to work this morning ...one of my favorite R.F. albums!

[@jefffelderman2409]

Good to see this great tune staying in the rotation. So smooth and classy, as always!

[@crazywisdom2]

Robben and his Tele .... just the best !!

[@sargentppeper]

This is one of my favorite tunes Robben.. Very soulful indeed! 🎸😊

[@nigeltownsend6053]

So good to hear a refresh on this Robben. Love your body of work from that era. What a beautiful start to the weekend ❤ Peace and Freedom ❤🙏

[@betouretmichel4999]

I saw the master in concert 3 days ago and i was amazed by the freshness of is playing ,still taking risk on improvisation,looking and finding !créative directions and his voice is still so full of fresh soul,long life to robben!

[@wayfaerer320]

This is the song that got me hooked on your music, Robben - gives me chills listening to it.

[@PeterLacis]

My all-time favorite Robben tune. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this!

Robben Ford has a very distinctive sound and he’s still got it✅

[@ericwatler23]

Outstanding

[@francescosivelli]

His Best Album to date.. 🙏

[@bluesboytony]

Thanks for sharing Robben , hope you’re playing the NY area in the not too distant future!

[@ricardo_pro]

Best Tele sound I've ever heard, just incredible.

[@chillidogkev]

What?!?! Don't be ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣

[@C2Cats]

Great video, thanks for sharing this with your audience, it's the kind of video I think a lot of people love to see, the mix/recording is great, crystal clear, but still raw sounding in a good way, if you know what I mean. Cheers

[@totallyunmemorable]

What is it about organ trios? Can't get enough of 'em.

[@gadymarcus5297]

magnifico.💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@drivers1959]

awesome...robben your such a musical inspiration ...stay amazing!!

[@kenphillips3282]

Love your playing and so sad the guitar safari this August was called off. I was ready to try and learn a lick or two from my fave guitarist. Beautiful work Robben, thank you.

[@jamesrand1943]

Absolutely love this tune Robben. One of my all time favourites. Can’t wait to see you at Ronnie Scott’s!

[@crazywisdom2]

Would LOVE to hear just a Whole Album of just Robben doing this ! An INSTRUMENTAL album.

[@mr_m_5000]

Tiger Walk

[@tetra3000]

Crazy to think he was 46 the year Tiger Walk came out and to still be touring now what a legend

[@jissbar]

Le bon goût guitaristique en action... Comme toujours avec Mr Robben Ford ! Bravo aussi aux 2 accompagnateurs..

[@MCV_Music]

Great tune from Tiger Walk. Thanks Robben. You have no idea how much this album influenced me.

[@nurix8322]

There are only a few. On this Fysical earth. He is one of that kind. Like Prince was. Genius and perfect in every way☺️😅 🙏🏻💖✨

[@ColtonRhody]

Man…a good clean Tele neck pickup is one of my favorite sounds ever! 🤘

[@aaronp6426]

Awesome,thanks for sharing!

[@corrindion]

Man soulful and tough!Great tune!

[@hummarstraful]

Love your playing!

[@stephenbedford1395]

Sublime perfection... a master in action. (from another Aussie)

[@pauleddy5146]

Tiger Walk is one of the smoothest albums ever. Tasty, very tasty! First solo release after the end of The Blue Line.

[@sotiristsamandanis6424]

Beautiful song. This and The Champ !!

[@ChrisArlesMusic]

beautiful song, nice team too ;)

[@PERRADE]

De mis músicos favoritos y 1 de mis temas preferidos. Gloria Benditaaa !!!!

[@Babassecretchannel]

Robben gave me his pick after this song in Pori Jazz 1997… Tiger walk!

[@brachashighhopeshomestead226]

that was a great performance with the trio, lucky man you are!

[@Babassecretchannel]

@@brachashighhopeshomestead226 Yeah but my buddy had it better... He left the festival after the weekend and stopped at a gas station nearby to have breakfast when Robben and the band walked in the same gas station to have breakfast with them... But while that is a really cool story, my first guitar teacher got drunk with Stevie Ray Vaughan in Pori Jazz 1985 after SRV's gig... On the beach, around bonfire, SRV playing guitar, them drinking SRV's bottle of whiskey... THAT story can't be topped.

[@MarcoRaaphorst]

love his playing and tone here

[@Lihiart]

So beautiful

[@joseramon4380]

BRAVO Robben! Te queremos Robben! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@NicholasPalance]

Masterful tone! Saw Robben light City Winery NYC on fire back in '14. Tele + Dumble = not a bad way to go.

[@ahmaddjaswadi89]

My lovely song.....❤

[@cs0336]

His picking position creates a distinctive sound. It's a tone that can only be produced by picking from the rear.

[@TBlanktim]

Yep. It's the picking hand that makes a good guitar player. Anyone after some practice, can finger the fretboard. The sound is from the other hand.

[@75jdavid]

so damn good!

[@foxyjazzbopper]

Brilliant👌👌👌

[@perryjude1230]

Really pretty 🤩

[@Dwoed]

Great story line on the guitar ❤

[@leighsayers2628]

Sounds fabulous ..love the tele ..so much better than the prs ..this is just fabulous sound ..dumble im guessing .. From Australia 🦘🦘🦘

[@Doty6String]

omg that room!

[@brachashighhopeshomestead226]

oh, yeah, is this a recording studio in Paris area? if not where...

[@duckfootguitars76]

This is the song that turned me on to Robben. Completely changed my approach to playing in 5min.

[@TheBrunoRK]

Very cool

[@Intenzity]

Robben calls this a "rehearsal" we all would call it "The best recording we ever made." :)

[@aivira3161]

Come to France please 🙏

[@ButternoteBackingTracks]

Beautiful! How has a legend like Robben only accumulated about 40k subscribers when the likes of Mimisounds has over a million! I just don't understand it (well I do, but it's very sad)! 😢

[@ScreamingEagle.]

Well, Robben doesn't look like mimi, but I get ya...

[@vapidwind1014]

Thankyou

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

Curtis Mayfield, Ernie Isley and Steve Cropper are all in that beautiful sound he's making with the band. Cool !

[@jesseserna8424]

I was watching a Marty Schwartz guitar lesson video and he said his favorite was this man 😮 I see why 🙌🏼🎸 WOW

[@MissingMars]

this is friggin fantastic -there I said it!

[@michaellucas4953]

That old Tele 🤩

[@peppik]

Clean ... all the way.

[@狩屯]

This is it after all.

[@PeterKertesz2013]

Hallelujah

[@williamrossimusic8085]

Freedom 🎸

[@Volytyr]

That Tele makes me think of Danny Gatton.

[@Gretsch0997]

he's really great. Too bad we didn't get to see the whole band.

[@григорийгришин-ъ9щ]

Классно!

[@renakmans3521]

Looks like Robben’s been working out!

[@normalizedaudio2481]

OK, I come up to full volume. We should all ask why this sounds pretty good. Placement etc.. I think the engineer is using more room sound than people do normally.

[@ymelfilm]

I thought I would hear some funny referring to the Hendrix-song:)

[@sanjabago4180]

Gorgeous!! Amazing room too. Anyone know what studio that is?

It’s at Soult Studio Paris

is it a recording studio in France?

If you know how, you can surf the Atlantic Ocean & play Jazz on a Telecaster.

[@brachashighhopeshomestead226]

[@snapfinger1]

You can play surf music on a death metal guitar too.

Organ bass? Never seen Robben use this format.
