Robben Ford Discussion

Pablo

Hello All,

Below is a link to a short interview with Robben (wrapped around an endorsement for D'Addario strings) on learning chords. The video also has a good bit of a recent sound check from The Cutting Room in NYC.

that was interesting, to say at the least.
I love the way he takes sounds out that exotic guitar.
Robben for President.

Very nice find Pablo!
Again, Robben mentioned the Mickey Baker Jazz Books from the fifties being the method he followed. Both books nowadays, are still very good to learn to play jazz guitar!!

Thanks for the link Pablo!

That's a great video. I like the advice at the end when Robben says, "don't wait until you think you're ready [to get in a band]. Do it when you're not ready and you'll learn a lot faster."

You can't learn to swim if you don't get wet. I was a swim teacher one summer... I should know better.

Yeah thats' a great video. Sweet tones he gets there. So he does "How deep in the blues" on stage. That's one on my favorite on the Truth.
