Robben Ford's Advice For Learning Chords

[BullToTheShit]

I can't find his book that he mentions @ 3:17: "Blues Rhythms."

I found a DVD of his titled, "The Art of Blues Rhythm." I also found another DVD of his that comes with a short "Booklet" titled, "Rhythm Blues: REH Book/Audio Pack." But no Book titled, "Blues Rhythms"

"Supernatural" ('99) is one the best album I've ever heard. FACT.

He's so right. The guitar is a rhythm section instrument first. Being a great comper is much more important than being a great soloist. Most of us spend most of the time laying out or backing up a singer or another soloist...right?!

[rapidtranq]

can someone please tell me which is the song that he's playing at the start of this clip?

[rapidtranq]

@rapidtranq doh...just found out its called "How Deep In The Blues (Do you want to go) " from the album Truth.

Never met Sakashta-san, but feel like I miss him!!!

An amazing craftsman and good player too!!!

[pretorious700]

I've used d'addarios even longer than Robben-he's right, they are incredibly consistent, and high quality

[iRacr]

The D'Addario pick holder between his teeth, would that have been a custom shop thing...?

Don't wait to get in a band is almost as good advise as learning chords. I played for 13 years before joining a band and I've learned more in the last seven vs the first thirteen.

[J0NNYBudd]

@guitarcrazy019 Yeah i totally agree. It's what separates the men from the boys the experience of gigging and performing to people as opposed to aimlessly noodling!!

this guitar is called Noupaul made by Taku Sakashta.

he was killed 02/18/10 by Joshua Begley.

Taku was a great builder and a great guy.....

[spudgun05]

@ervinsakashta can i ask why he was killed

[cyyytr0n]

@spudgun05 the murderer was "angry", allegedly

try his name in Google ;)

[cyyytr0n]

it seems that Taku was just in the wrong place at the wrong time ..

[svidrigajlov]

[nathanguitarguru]

Alexander "Don't Call Me Howard" Dumble Overdrive Special amp - actually he often has two on stage in case one goes down.

[pretorious700]

Howard Dumble amp?

robben's advice.

[TadRapidly]

some of those "other" companies occasionally put a square string in there, ya know? ;-) D'addario strings are ALWAYS round.
