This Is How I Wrote Cobra Kai "Iron Dragons" Guitar Solo

[@Jabrada]

So wholesome to see your family reaction!

[@CharlieRobbins]

I’m so thankful for them💙

[@Jayden-lr2mm]

I can never ever get enough of the Iron Dragons theme

[@CharlieRobbins]

Glad you dig it!

[@farbey9579]

I can't get it out of my head...need an extended version.

[@bloomWF]

Must feel very satisfying knowing you ended up being ahead of the curve now that nylon is the biggest craze now within the instrumental space. Keep it up bro 🎉

[@CharlieRobbins]

I’m just happy that there’s more nylon guitar for everyone to enjoy now!

[@LC-Kaufmac]

Watching your family react had me in tears. Your hard work, dedication, and drive are an endless inspiration. Its been amazing to see you grow over the years from A Place to Hide to achieving your goal of doing music for film. Congrats again man well deserved and you'll forever be my favorite guitarist ❤ edit: Ps. Proud of you.

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you so much for all the support dude 💙

[@nurbmanjones1709]

The family reaction is everything! Not saying that we as musicians and composers live for the recognition primarily (because we all hold that creative mind to create music like this) but the family reaction just put a huge smile on my face, the Iron Dragons theme is definitely one of the standouts for part two!

[@RadiantShadow13]

your nylon intro is so fuckin majestic that I'm listening constantly, good work

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thanks!

[@foox6101]

I love the your cobra Kai parts and Tim Hensons are both so good and I love the nylon they feature in both

[@CharlieRobbins]

Yeah his song was awesome!

[@saysay_]

I’m so happy for you dude, congratulations! You are the main reason I started playing nylon string guitar, I’ve never heard anyone play a nylon string guitar in metal music just like you said, and i instantly fell in love with the sound so thank you for being an absolute guitar legend!

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you so much dude!

[@CantoSinFronteras]

I watched your video about "Iron Dragons" before watching the series and I was surprised. I have been following you for a long time and it is a great joy that you are achieving your goals while remaining authentic and faithful to your music. A big hug from Argentina!

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it!

[@BrandonHartOfficial]

Incredible walk-through and performance, my friend. Also, the reaction from your family was the best. Proud of you, Charlie. You’re awesome. 🖤

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thanks dude 💙

[@oscar__robbins]

Nylon guitars in this genre are INCREDIBLE!!

[@Ben-cq8hn]

Your guitar playing on the soundtrack was the highlight of this season for me, love how they managed to incorporate so much modern guitar into the soundtrack!

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thanks! 🙏🏻

[@DomiBlueShellz]

This Thing fitted soooooooooo Well... I was Like "wow that Sounds familiar" and then i found out why 😂. Amazing Work as allways 🔥

[@CharlieRobbins]

I’m glad you like it!

[@XmemphistoX]

The bit at the end with your family was amazing. Good work! Love your stuff!

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you!

[@colberton_2815]

Man the reaction at the end was awesome, super happy for you man. Well deserved!

[@TheWackyWorkbench]

I found your channel just before Cobra Kai season 6 released, and was hooked, and realized the iron dragons sounded familiar! This is awesome!

[@CharlieRobbins]

I’m glad you liked it!

[@cambienvenu]

It’s absolutely as grand and epic as you’d hoped. It’s extremely exciting to see you dip your feet in the scoring world, I’m positive this will lead to more opportunities and we’ll all be here for it.

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you!

[@shayaanbaig248]

Dude, I never knew about you before Cobra Kai and now I'm so glad I stumbled upon your music. I've been listening to the iron dragon's theme on repeat ever since I heard it. You did a FANTASTIC job with the guitar aspects, that was my favorite part!

[@christiangriffis721]

I just watched the episode and immediately knew it was you but had to look this up to confirm. So sick.

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you!

[@jessehumphrey4273]

CONGRATULATIONS !!! DUDE WE ARE ALL SO PROUD AND HAPPY FOR YOU! This is no surprise to anyone who knows your music. This is just the beginning of your cinematic music career.

[@CharlieRobbins]

Ahh thank you! 🙏🏻

[@JR0d117]

Im glad i found you as an artist man. Your stuff is killer. Theres only a couple of songs that you do that I don't always listen to the whole way through when they come up on my playlist. Spotify said I listened to your album more than any album in 2024. Your one of my favorite musicians. I hope you continue to inspire many other people and musicians to do more. I just picked up a Strandberg sälen ck stealth ltd. Looks like I have to save for this one. Nice video.

[@TheDescentPod]

I loved everything about this video. So stoked, couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy and also a phenomenal musician. Well deserved for sure. The family reaction was beautiful!

[@silentflaw]

Dude I love your style so much. Up and Down is music for my soul.

[@CollabZZZ]

THAT WAS JUST INSANE. i rlly hoped they used you for part 3

[@bolshoi762]

damn bro! the iron dragons theme song was so freaking good that i had to search the authors behind it and found you. absolutely epic!!! keep it up, dude, awesome work!

[@Reapertips]

your family 😭😭 made me tear up a little, so so happy for you Charlie! 💙

[@Shadowotd]

Keep Crushing it man. All the best.

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thanks dude!

[@karentrogdon3223]

Charlie!!! This is so cool and good!!! Just amazing!! You're so talented.

[@knibbo]

You kept me interested throughout the entire video! I've listened to this song countless times and I can't describe how well it's made! ❤🎸🔥I downloaded the tabs from your store and I am currently trying to learn this on guitar, let's just say it's not an easy piece to play! 😅❤

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you! You got this, just keep going! 🤘🏻

[@StephenCorey0608]

I think it was so nice for you to include the footage of your family. That was truly lovely.

[@CharlieRobbins]

🙏🏻

[@KingNekro]

Congrats bro. You absolutely killed it man! The clip of your family was too damn wholesome. Glad to see that they are so proud and supportive of you. Zach Robinson was a genius for hitting you up with this opportunity. I hope it leads you to get more opportunities like this in the future! Would love to just be watching a show and hear more of your work catching me off guard. In general we just need more of both melodic metal and classical guitar musicianship in movie/show soundtracks. Both genres on their own are already underutilized in soundtracks, but the fusion of both is even more underutilized. This Cobra Kai season proved it. I was already a big fan of the show, but this final season's soundtrack has made it so much better. To the point where I had to find out the people who were behind it. And here I am subscribed to your channel because of it, excited to see what you upload in the future.🤘

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you for the kind words! I’m so happy you enjoyed the song!

[@TheLastArchive]

"All that hard work paid off" Congrats Charlie, well deserved

[@TylerShepShreds]

So good! I love the solo! You are in my top 3 guitarists that are a big influence for me along with Tosin and Manuel Gardner-Fernandes. 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you!

[@MrOmen420]

When I first heard it I immediately thought of Tim Henson from polyphia and at first I thought it was him but the fact that your skill level is up there with him says a lot!! I loved it ❤

[@franperochena]

Amazing man, a big person and guitarrist 🙌🏼

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thanks!

[@DrDenticle]

The ending part with your family was so freaking wholesome. You are a legend, mate!

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@cmstrike]

AMAZING work on this guitar solo! It was an immediate standout the first time I saw the scene. Really cool to see your process for creating it, and even cooler to see that you use REAPER too! I make covers of the music from Cobra Kai, and when I heard the Iron Dragons theme I was like "Yeeeeah, there's no way I can cover that solo" 😂

[@nates2]

Much deserved, can't wait for the others to come out!

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you!

[@LionWingsStudio]

Congrats Charlie! 🦁👍🎸 and 9:30 - an instant classic quote🙂

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thanks!

[@rodpe9570]

Congratulations! As I told you once you're my top modern guitarist! Your music has a lot of passion, keep doing this please! Love your music! So proud of you!

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@danalysing2774]

Heck yeah brother, you've earned it!

[@josuep329]

So sick! This made me teared up a bit, happy to see you have a supportive family!

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@non_brewed_condiment]

Congratulations, so well deserved! this is awesome

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thanks!

[@HeavyMetalShredder]

The harmony at 7:21 kinda reminds me of the post solo harmony in fight fire with fire. Very nicely done

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thanks!!

[@YoyoGold]

Next you will be on big time movies ! Major props Man U doing old school level real world work

[@strangerrandomthings4319]

Bro youre a legend

[@alexandreikeda9262]

Your music is amazing, I’m addicted already!

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you!

[@dennit1221]

The Nylon Intro is probably the best pce of art i`ve ever been able to listen to... If I only was able to songwrite on this level...

[@thomask9577]

Oh man! I am so happy for you. What a well-deserved dream! Are you going to have a video about what Neural DSP settings you used for the solo?

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you! I just used my artist presets built in!

[@xstr8range]

Been following you since the early artificial language days, I'm so happy you made it bro! What an incredible success story and super well deserved. Definitely brought a tear to my eyes seeing the family all react, and you inspired me to get back into making guitar music again! Much love and congratulations!

[@CharlieRobbins]

Ahh thank you! I really appreciate the support 🙏🏻

[@xstr8range]

@@CharlieRobbins I'm expecting you on that next polyphia album

[@shaned45-13]

Incredible as always. I especially like your approach to sound, maybe someday I would like to see your own tier list of plugins from NeuralDSP that you like and use most often

[@CharlieRobbins]

That could be a cool video!

[@gpaglia]

Awesome work thanks for sharing 👏👏

[@ericmcd0601]

fuck yes. congrats dude!!🤘

[@diegojavier8276]

Hola Charlie. Disculpa que te escriba en español. Me encantó tu trabajo. Es la música icónica de Iron Dragons. Gracias por tu dedicación y esfuerzo.

family react was amazing! priceless!

[@thejessesliger]

I think what probably gets overlooked here is just how freakin good the tones are. You could do a whole vid on that! I’m sure it would mostly be a Mesa tutorial but still

[@CharlieRobbins]

Ayee thanks dude!

That's epic! Congrats! 🤘😎

Thanks dude! Hope you’re doing well!

@CharlieRobbins I am thanks! Glad to see your doing big things! Stoked to be from the same city as you! 🤘💯

This is gonna be my walkout song for my title fight this week.

Take a video! Would love to see! Good luck 🤘🏻

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thanks!

[@MX_Goro]

Welcome to Barcelona

[@iiared]

when I saw the scene I could've sworn this was polyphia, this is amazingly amazing

[@Crouchdown]

Reaction was cool to see

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thanks!

[@scottcrist0070]

love the end with your family around!

[@CharlieRobbins]

It was surreal! Haha

[@jonaschan]

This sounds PHENOMENAL! I was amazed when I heard it first time in the sneak peak and it gave me very polyphia vibes which I love and is so unique! Are there tabs for this piece, I'd love to try play the guitar part on bass?

[@jonaschan]

And is there anywhere I could find backing track please?

[@rahulrichard912]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CharlieRobbins]

🙏🏻

[@MusicForGod572]

Bro I dream of being good enough to make stuff like that and still have people that want to hear it. Hopefully one day 😅

[@CharlieRobbins]

I believe in you! I never thought this would actually happen for me, but it did!

[@theuncles851]

🔥

[@CharlieRobbins]

🙏🏻

[@chrisangela]

No hate here Charlie, your Nylon playing is as beautiful and eloquent as your electric...ignore otherwise, it's simply not their style preference. I've never understood judgement in something as subjective as music and art...if you don't like it, don't listen to it or look at it. It's really quite easy! Cheers and congrats on getting the work!

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@johnanthony6038]

How could anyone hate on that? It’s an amazing beautiful piece, congrats on your score!!!

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thank you!

[@aripaloheimo7121]

Wow .. was 100% that the song was Polyphia’s doing. 😅 World class job!

[@Mutschee]

Hey man :) maybe I missed it, but what nylon guitar is this you are using? I'm looking for a new one, due to shoulder problems it should be one with a thin body - yours sounds great :) Ps: big fan of the cover

[@deasesebago]

this is an absoloute ripper

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thanks!

[@deasesebago]

@@CharlieRobbins yooo you replied as i was still watching the video thats nuts thanks man

[@haritodecebolla]

Congratulations!!! Did you also write and/or play the heavy/ djent-like rhythm guitars of the song?

[@CharlieRobbins]

Yeah I did around 6 tracks! Along with some other artists!

[@thamjam90]

How long have you been using Reaper by the way?

[@psyphonyxaudio]

I was watching the show ... and I KNEW this was you .. I went looking on the IMBD listing and other and I didn't see your name? ....

[@CharlieRobbins]

I’m still working on that part! Haha

[@psyphonyxaudio]

@@CharlieRobbins ... Dude .... I was like .. " no fkn way!! " ... Im soooo happy for you. and SO glad to see the hard work coming to a fold. Im right there for ya!!
