[1985wclark]

Do you sell a book of your arrangements?

[PhantomMooseFilms]

Great!

[jackloganbill]

Wow! Incredible arrangement. I absolutely love your arrangements, playing, and etc. Thanks for sharing.

[kaalqnk]

Oh my God...you have some CD?

[kaalqnk]

Muy bueno hermano///Very good brthr you are best. God bless you

[TheGummug]

Excellent! Very professional! I think yours is one of the best I've seen! You must be a music professor of guitar!

[FieldCichon672]

[treetoptop]

Awesome tone, awesome arrangement. Your technique is very clean!

[robbourassaguitarist]

@treetoptop Thank you very much. This is my favorite song.

[johnpaulcastro]

Excellent.

Very inspiring!

[wordprophet]

Wow...that was beautiful! I hope your relationship with Jesus is as deep as your playing for him...

[robbourassaguitarist]

@wordprophet I would say guitar is an accessory in my life, and Jesus a necessity. I wish I could compose music at this level, because there is not enough of it.

God Bless.

[wordprophet]

@robbourassaguitarist You can. Proverbs 16:3.

Od's Bodkin! All you need is a feathered cap tp accompany the right hand flourishes--go for Baroque! (nod to Steve Morse)

Preciosa interpretación, muy buena.

Bendiciones

[drjjman]

can you please do a version of je crois entendre encore? It's an opera. I always wanted to hear it on guitar.

[robbourassaguitarist]

Beautiful tune. Bizet was a great melodic composer, and it would go well with guitar.

I have a lot to do before I would get time.

[drjjman]

Ok thanks and by the way you are amazing with guitar. I wish I be able to play like u one day.

[yearofrolling]

I loved it, thanks!

[robbourassaguitarist]

Thanks. What a great hymn.

[58lespaulsam]

Excellent rendition of an excellent hymn!

[guerillin]

Rob, you make it look so easy lol. I'll try to implement some of that harmony into an acappella quartet arrabgement.

God bless you

[Kronikosklerato]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[cybercopdavid]

This video is really excellent.Could you tell me where i could find the Notations for playing this?-Lorenz

[robbourassaguitarist]

Sorry Lorenz, I arranged this, and have not transcribed it. I was not following a strict arrangement, but winging it at certain parts. It always comes out differently.

[cybercopdavid]

O.K.I was reminded of this video when we sang "A Mighty Fortress" in our Bible study group on a Saturday evening during our Bible study.Immediately after the study, I played this video to my friends.They said that it was simply superb and now they cannot forget your name Rob.Hats Off to you.The arrangement of the Harmony,change in meter,different harmony at the end is all really amazing.-Lorenz

[robbourassaguitarist]

This is my favorite hymn, due to the fact that it stresses the endurance and sureness of the Word of God above all reason or philosophy. There is none better.

[FormerMALiberal]

Holy crap, that is so good.

[GJmusique]

That's really cool. :)

[roelof1235]

Awesomee!

[robbourassaguitarist]

Thank you Roelof.

[stflaw]

Very, very nicely played, and the tone from your guitar is beautiful.

[robbourassaguitarist]

Thank you very much.

[stflaw]

My pleasure. You might be interested to know that my wife and I used this song at our wedding, an a capella version by the Swingle Singers.

I've started checking out some of your other YouTube videos. Nice work.

[robbourassaguitarist]

I think the Swingle Singers version is my favorite. They sing it straight, or straight for Bach, instead of swinging it, but it sounds beautiful. I like the old French group from the 60s, but the newer folks are German. I don't like their remakes of Ward Swingle's arrangements as much as the originals, but the way they sing this has made it one of my favorite recordings of all time. They sing the straight chorales better than anyone. I love their version of Es ist genug as well. They know Bach.

[JesseGuitar07]

good stuff!

[robbourassaguitarist]

Thanks.

[Stevepat1]

Very nice arrangement played beautifully! Thanks!

[robbourassaguitarist]

Thank you.

[LStrachey]

I think Martin Luther would approve. Anyway, I like it.

[robbourassaguitarist]

Thank you Michael.

[coachdoc49]
