Tull Medley (Rob Martino - FredTap 2008)

[mlaache]

One person fails to see the magic of this instrument. This is simply amazing!

[karayan01]

I am blown away. I just started my Touchstyle instrument and I don't know whether to be inspired by this or utterly intimidated.

I wonder, do you know if Ian Anderson is aware of your arrangements? Have you met him? He needs to listen to these!

Just in case you are taking requests, I would love to hear the following;

Wondring Again, Requiem, One White Duck, and, if you want a really time consuming project, Baker st. Muse.Thanks for sharing your talent!

Sincerely,-Jealous of your ability

Bob Martino, gostaria de ver vc tocando algumas musicas Brasileiras. Que tal...

[290boogie]

There´s just not enogh stars to rate this...

[gannibus]

AMAZING!!!

you make me want to go practice(I ALWAYS want to practice after witnessing the sublime...)

Haven't heard those Tull-tunes in quite the while...

[Basso9x13]

I don't think I noticed any "edges" - certainly none that were rough!

Bravo!

i can truly get lost in this...this is amazing

great work, keep it up i love it, all of it

[syzygywell]

I've always been a synthesizer person but have such a deep appreciation for this instrument due to tony levin. I think it along with the cello and duduk have to be my favorite string and wind instruments. Thanks for posting this Rob. I love it.

[dtordahl]

I think both Ian Anderson and Tony Levin would be shaking their heads in approval. Maybe in amazement as well.

Great, great, great, stuff.

Thank you !!!!!!

[krazeelocomiststuck]

I agree with you there. :D

[50751]

I love it!

[iuunited]

badass as always

[compman67]

This is jaw dropping amazing. I like your originals better though..

Your the Satriani of the stick.

[Albertson9]

I can't see why is that a compliment. Satriani is a technique master, nothing more. Rob has all the "feel" needed in addition to the great technical playing.

Thank you Rob!

[compman67]

What kind of person disses the compliment meant for another person? You must be a better person cause your compliment is WAY better than mine, LMAO!... What and ego you have..

[someonesmonkey]

I would have to politely disagree with you there. Satriani has amazing technique and can also put 'feeling' in by the shed-load in my opinion.

I would suggest that you give 'ten words' a listen. Thats a gorgeous song.

[claramacdowell]

You're my favourite, man.

Just lose for Tull guys.

[Truedantalion]

I love it when you "Tull", Rob! Their music is so wonderfully written; Ian Anderson is freat with all he does. Till songs are ideal for the Stick. And you bring those two things together sooo beautifully :-)!

[Truedantalion]

Aha, so Ian Anderson is "freat" ... good job XD! Let me write "great", and everyone gets the picture, hehe!

[dustypuppy]

wow beautiful sound Rob :)

great job

Only thing better would be seeing this live

5/5

[dustypuppy]

. . . that wasn't meant to rhyme :P

[callthemall]

wow that actually really made me laugh!

[puika1987]

Just close your eyes and enjoy :-) Thanks for your music!

[jeevespreston]

Rob, nice stuff... Given "average" musical background and intelligence (some theory and composition, 10 years of band experience), how long would it take to pick up the stick?

[rpmartino]

For me, I had previous piano, guitar and bass experience (as well as some formal music education) and it took me at least a year before I could play some solo pieces all the way through (and badly). I've been playing only the Stick for about 5 years now (averaging an hour or less a day for practice), in which I've developed about an hour of "performable music" (which has a lot of room for improvement).  Getting the 2 hands to work together tends to be the biggest challenge!

[rpmartino]

Anyways, maybe that provides helpful info but the amount of time it takes to learn the instrument depends on a lot of things (experience, kind of music, practice time, etc.)

[jeevespreston]

Thanks Rob! That frames it well, a fair time commitment but really nice work you've done. I primarily play bass and sing right now. I have a similar coordination requirement between those two functions. Sometimes hard to keep 2 hands of a bass rhythm going and sing at a different cadence. Best wishes, keep up the good work!
