Joe Robinson plays two guitars at once | Joe Robinson | TEDxNashville

Joe Robinson performs three pieces that highlight his unique and brilliant musical virtuosity.
Joe Robinson is considered gifted as a virtuoso guitarist and singer/songwriter. Robinson started playing guitar at age nine and after outpacing his guitar instructor began educating himself via the Internet. At 13 years old, he won the Australian National Songwriting Competition and was soon sharing stages with artists like Tommy and Phil Emmanuel, releasing his first album at age 15. When 16-year-old Robinson burned through a Chet Atkins-inflected medley of “Day Tripper” and “Lady Madonna” at the opening round of the 2008 Australia’s Got Talent television series competition, the entire house gave him a standing ovation. He went on to win $250k with his take on Tommy Emmanuel’s arrangement of “Classical Gas.” Robinson relocated to Nashville and was awarded the title of “Senior Grand Champion Performer of the World” at the World Championships of Performing Arts in Hollywood. That year he also performed at Bonnaroo, and was voted “Best New Talent” in the Guitar Player Readers’ Poll.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Absolutely brilliant and extremely amazing, well done Joe Robinson! Love the way you strum the guitars! So welcoming and very entertaining! 🎉😊👍🏼🎶🎸

[@justinwalsh4368]

The title of this video should have been, 13 Minutes of a 26 year old Joe Robinson, arguably the greatest guitarist in the world. I’ve seen him 3 times, they don’t get any better than that.

[@Edgarbrawlstars-y3l]

My God!!! How incredible he is. As a guitar player (not even close compared to him) I know how much effort he puts on every note and for how long he had to rehearse everyday to achieve this kind of perfection. He deserves a 10 billion likes. Well done Joe.

[@robhaskell4043]

Joe, you never cease to amaze. Yes, Tommy E. in waiting.....

[@donaldpintacura9735]

Truly the most amazing guitar player of today!!!!!!!

[@edhendley5863]

That second tune has so much happening at once. I freaking love it. Laying wicked guitar riffs, singing and of course getting multiple guitars going. In-fu**ing-credible. Joe the Boss man

[@rorylynch]

[@stringbender57]

Darn this kid is unbelievably good! What a talent on the guitar and a great voice. Hope he stays humble and away from cigarettes, drugs and alcohol. We have lost so many greats to these vices.

[@Dovey14]

I'm starting a new high school ensemble, Would You be interested in joining us Joe? We always have snacks!

[@rajdeepghadge5392]

[@jonathansommer3243]

A stompbox. You can buy them fairly cheap ($20-$40) but can get pretty fancy. Very good for singer/songwriters

[@SlappingMonkeyDog]

JUDO CHOP!

[@rodneycastillo5785]

[@0013619511]

Up the reverb a tad on voice

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

You’ve been duped. Joe Robinson’s a robot. Humans can’t do these things.

[@kimuraproductions3827]

6 people are jealous...

[@reizigerj]

Nu

[@allenallen5040]

I think it’s a conspiracy.

[@tubetlionel7298]

Kalau di bandingkan sama Alip ba ta Tidak ada apa apanya

[@ramadhinramadhin]

first

[@LonsdalePalmer]

No. He. Doesn't.

[@Angelo-pe4go]

hori shit 😰

[@IgnorancEnArrogance]

It's not two guitars at the same time, but close enough

[@johnhan41]

What do you mean? If you watch the whole video he plays both his acoustic and electric at the same. He plays the rhythm with the acoustic and plays the melody with his strat.

[@guiloiukjgf3769]

The first song sucks

[@philsarkol341]

yeah your right ..first song sucks as it is played like a demo song out of a cheap keyboard...sorry..Joe is exceptionell talented though ...
