The Guitar Gods - Robben Ford - "Tiger Walk"

[@stevenheath741]

Robbens chord voicing are incredible 😊

[@TheWarfen]

Taste, tone and phrasing to die for. Simply my favourite player of all time

[@lancemorgan644]

Robben Ford. The best at what I love to hear.

[@mikec6733]

One of the absolute best ! Robben Ford

[@flmcon]

robin ford is one of the few people that can keep my interest all the way through an instrumental son. ^5 Robin

[@brachashighhopeshomestead226]

IT'S AMAZINGLY TRUE...

[@garyssimo]

Very rare to see him playing a Strat. This one looks like a mid fifties custom style. Im blessed to have a 56 but a refin. When they get played about 10,000 hours like mine.....the fret board, ( rock maple) gets scalloped and darker. Also, the pickguard screws turn black. This guy makes any guitar sound great.

[@gypsygirl731]

Saw him in concert. Wish I was playing up there with him. Smooth and talented.

[@edwardgamboa6589]

Ford is unbelievable I will always be a fan

[@FabioGrOoVe91]

So nice to see Ford with a strat!

[@alazrabed]

I'd marry that drum groove. She'd probably cheat on me with that drum solo though. Can't say I'd blame her.

[@anthonycoleman4062]

Drummer stole the show. Awesome.

[@nicolasbastos6236]

great musicians , they have plenty to offer! love them

[@fistchips]

Great music!! Robben and the band is really sounding good..no matter what band he is touring with..

[@finecielo]

The power of phrasing everybody!

[@thecompletejake]

This guy is such a monster player. Even though they're stylistically very different, there's something about his playing that reminds me of John McLaughlin.

[@metallica3604]

Nothing like McLaughlin

[@blisterfree]

Scofield maybe

[@taylordevault]

They are both devoted to the instrument that’s for sure

[@asat96]

Yes he is awesome. Robben always tours with the very best musicians, doesn't he?

[@forrest_lump]

Please add more infos to your videos. Band members, date, concert. Thank you. 😁

[@albacore101]

How fortunate I am in so many ways...I'm looking forward to seeing Mr. Ford in Grants Pass OR 6/5/15. It will be my first time seeing him. The band here is incredible. I hope at least some will be there. Peace and Love...

[@JakeMcBain]

+Gregory Soldner trust me none of these guys will be there. robben is always switchin up his band

[@aladinin]

Wow..what a band. That drummer is sweet..! These guys have it in spades..!

[@MrDaveFerrier]

Robben has phenomenal rhythm

[@miles-178]

Novak is such a beast !! his solos are astouding

[@ssguernsey]

His work on Holdsworth's 16 Men is just beautiful!

[@RonWinter335]

Milos Rais When Gary was hairy! Loved his playing with Tribal Tech as well.

[@mknomad5]

I get that this has lots of groove, funk and originality, but if I had to play this night after night, I'd go crazier.

[@JerryLeeHowell2]

Robbens a player, not a writer :p

[@beenderedonedat]

Chris Chaney on bass. Wow. This is some ten years ago. Still fantastic!

[@Discfiend69]

I was 'raised and salted' on this guys music. "Charles Ford Band" LOVES SOME ROBBEN!

[@nicksinderson3302]

Love those monster chords!

[@albacore101]

By the way...there is another guitar GOD coming to Grants Pass a couple weeks after Robben. It's Robin! Trower. That will be my 6th time seeing Mr. Trower....how fortunate I am!

[@jeffreym4273]

This is the best guitar sound I heard from him.

[@jeffreym4273]

Just a little too much reverb though.

[@lantose]

It’s the strat!

[@westleycarmona3626]

Listen him on his white 60's tele!

[@jonnohanks]

Robben doesnt like Strats, but MAN does he sound good with one.

[@thefonz147]

That’s even on the bridge pickup lol

[@leighsayers2628]

Not true ..he does ..videos of him saying so

[@theupfromthesky]

Wow ✨ voilà ce que j'appelle de la musique .-*-. Quelle conversation entre plusieurs Géants, c'est un régal 😋 Merci à vous

[@teletdf]

Quintessential Strat tones. Delicious

[@vmcelvis]

ALWAYS in the POCKET

[@progx8679]

No one hates Strats !! My bet is 95% of all Pro's own at least one - Ashley !!!

[@MrToniRoll]

+Prog X You'll find all kind of people, but Its pretty sure that Robben never would say that, maybe I'm wrong, but he is a musician and he could say that prefers others guitars for some reasons...but hate...umm nop

[@timbutlerwinnipeg]

Awesome Strat Tones from the Master

[@andilux2441]

Every guitar is so good like its owner - perhaps I should have none guitar - LAUGH!!!

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

I'll take that Gibson off ya then and promise to be good.

[@andilux2441]

you think you play as good as robben?

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

andi lux Nope - but I could sure use a free Gibson

[@alanbitts]

I can´t describe how much I love a Strat tone. Ironically, I have a Les Paul...

[@101xaplax101]

with all the modern electronics it's a piece of cake to make any guitar sound like a strat or a les paul. get a used korg pandora 5 on ebay and send the signal straight to the board.........the only hard part about getting your guitar to sound like Robben's is getting him to come over and play it.

[@alanbitts]

first It's not the same, and you know that.

[@tangojack5229]

Rui Filipe h

[@Rich915]

Yup, wish he would play Strats far more than he does. Saw him kill on one at a Fillmore show...

[@brachashighhopeshomestead226]

he says a few years later he's on the lookout for the LP for him, even more than his trusty old Teley.

[@cedo83]

Thans for the live clip! Great piece :)

[@MrKalia22]

I was just about to clap, when the song was over. Seriously.

[@Fleetingbluesband]

Shaking All Over!!!

[@kckennedy55]

I have spent the past 2 weeks listening to Frank Gambale radio on Pandora. I was able to grab some aspects of that style. Now as much as I love Gambale and Howe, I must admit, I can't make a DIME playing that shit. When listen to Robben ford and Larry Carlton, I hear a bunch of ideas ( read steal licks) that I can use.

[@smoovegittar]

Big Fan. Ford is a master of nuances... Miles left his effect.

[@brachashighhopeshomestead226]

EXACT descriptive word i use...

[@JGPorcello]

Sometimes you feel like a Strat, sometimes you don't.

[@geetarnut]

+JGPorcello The "problem" with strats is, their uniqueness in overall tone, but mostly in the 2nd and 4th switch positions, where you get that out-of-phase tone! No other guitar has that ability. It's really great! But,,, it's too distinct a sound, and unless your a rockabilly player, or pure country picker,, the strat then becomes a victim of it's own uniqueness!

[@garyujensen5922]

Sonny Cannon don’t be

[@tinman5322]

Pl@ying with chords.... nice.

[@glassncobalt]

I believe this is the same strat he had on tour with Miles. It is far from stock, as you might guess. I read the pickup layout somewhere but can't remember where, duh....I seem to remember there is a stacked pickup or more in this lineup.

[@alexandregoupille3143]

[@tgolchin]

so good!

[@milankotevski1663]

This guy really likes strat bridge pickups.

[@cayrosobrinho5598]

Norhing that he plays is by chance. Bruce Lee of the guitar.

[@armandopace8559]

I always wonder why rob didn't use a strat so often...

[@gonzalooliveraalves]

I've been wondering the same thing. He sounds amazing with a Strat! I guess he loves his Tele way too much 😂

[@wmdoux2108]

He’s used a strat a lot in his career, touring with Miles, Edgar Winter and Michael McDonald,to name a few. Just not much lately.

[@boranntoptas8542]

[@jeffmyers4681]

Not so crazy about a maple fret board though. My fingers stick when they sweat. Rosewood takes care of that. My Strat has a Rosewood fret board. My Tele has a maple fret board, but I still love to play it because of the string action, and the bridge pickup is on fire!

[@jeffmyers4681]

Wooow!!!! Someone has anger issues. I have the chops to jam with this guy and give him a run for his money; how about you?

[@jeffmyers4681]

Yer an idiot. And that's all I have to say about that. Plus I don't claim to have played with groups I have never played with before; like yourself. I have never heard of you so you must be a hack yourself.

[@jeffmyers4681]

You're unimportant to me.

[@jeffmyers4681]

You know, I said nothing about Robben Ford himself; I was talking guitars, I thought, with other guitar players. As far as being bitter, the only thing I would bitter about would be the fact that I live in an area where the talent pool is piss poor. There are plenty of people who like my playing and singing, and over the years many people have wondered why I wasn't on the radio. Now, I have aged to the point where that's no longer a possibility. I still record though, something I've been doing since the early 80s. You should learn to be a kinder person. Stop hurling insults at people you don't know, and stop trying to make yourself out to be someone bigger than you are. FYI, I recorded in recording studio of Eddy Alford's wife, you know the guy who recorded the Yes Fragile album, and she liked what we recorded. I used learning other people's music to learn how to play, and then started writing and recording my own songs. I have posted some songs, but not anywhere you're familiar with.
