Aw man, the very thought of getting anything as high quality as these instruments for free blows my mind, but then I realise that meeting and jamming with Rob would be more worth it. Also, we're kinda maxed out on space in our tiny home! I'd love to jam with more people of this level of talent. I think jamming above your station raises your game and levelling up, per se, is always a great feeling. Also, it's possible to discover that, by jamming with higher level players, you might be more adept than you think. I'm on my 48th solar orbit and I love learning new things and one thing I wish I learned in the late '80s was to stick to a practice regimen and not leave gaps of months or years between playing. I own a Schechter Omen, a P bass copy, a meh quality acoustic and my old 50th anniversary Squier Strat. My main focus in music has been in the digital domain and I did a soundtrack for a videogame called Disastr_Blastr. Most of my tracks are electronic, but there are a few on there with guitars. One of my tracks is fully metal and I did the whole thing myself except play the drum patterns. I also took up Uke for a laugh, but love it, especially low G tuning. Anyway, enough of the rambling. Quality stuff as usual. Toodle pip.

I like calling it doing scientific musical research. But my bass can only let me explore up to a certain point from where there after becomes challenging to advance in certain topics in music.

Being that said, I want to try out my luck here and ask for your help: By any chance are you giving away a keyboard... or synth... organ, maybe? If so, can i please have it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (I know I’m asking too much here (I know I am).)
@bobobo7483 жыл бұрын
I'm a student, almost near of getting my degree, so I am in that stage where what you do for a living is barely earning you enough to survive, if any in the best of instances. That makes purchasing musical equipment, regardless of how useful it could be for my research purposes, farfetched from my capabilities.
@bobobo7483 жыл бұрын
I don’t want to say that gear is the only thing keeping me from doing things, because after all the knowledge is in the theory, not in the instrument intrinsically. But naturally, having something to test ideas on is a very valuable thing to have. I believe that for some instances “where there is a will there is a way," constantly I do things that help me getting all those things.
@bobobo7483 жыл бұрын
Regardless, I will be happy enough by just knowing that you read this because I want to tell you how much of an inspiration you have been. For me and for many, for the ideas you have shared, for taking different perspectives to music, for making amazing and top quality content, for being a very valuable and positive person within the youtube community, and now because of this very important thing you just did. As someone who found a passion from a similar act of generosity, I can assure you that you are sowing something special in the people you have been generous towards.

Travel around shouting "show me a soul grind," them give them an instrument. You and Tony Hawk could go on tour... the Kick Flip/Soul Grind Jam.

I'm so damn glad one of the most wholesome YT musicians and one of my favorites is a Chicago dude, props to anybody talented enough to actually use as many instruments as Rob has and extra props to anybody who can manage to give away some of those instruments despite the sentimentality EDIT: The callback to the slap guitar vid is frickin' nice

@waylonwood863 жыл бұрын
Also, Rob... I love the way you teach. You were so patient and absolutely perfect while trying to get Renee to work up to the soulgrind! It is much harder than it looks for a new rollerblader. Great work. Wholesome content

Damn I have to admit. This was one of the coolest and most selfless things I’ve ever seen. It teared me up a little for all the times I wanted music gear so bad but couldn’t afford it. I’m older now and can buy what I want (within reason, no slash snake pit Les Pauls) but it wasn’t always that way. So cool man.

This is by far one of the most wholesome videos I've seen in a long time. Not only are you giving away instruments and clearing up space at home hahaa, but you're making a difference in these people's lives! Teaching Renee how to rail grind! That's something he wont ever forget for the rest of his life. Rob, you rock!

I'm a 65 year old fart. You brought tears to this old turd. Never had a very good guitar, have had many over the years. Been saving up to get a decent one, watching you give those guitars away to other up and coming artists brought tears of joy. I have often said, that a fine guitar is like a good woman, touch and stroke em in all the right places and they make the coolest sounds. Thanks again.
