When you write your pieces, how do you go about the process? (Everytime I try and write I seem to come up against major block)
Also, although you don't express a mood through lyrics, it feels as if you do through the guitar and I was wondering what Inspired you to write this. :P Just curious :P
i've been trying forever to do harmonics on my acoustic and i can't for the life of me get them to resonate. Like, i know i'm hitting the string right, but the sound doesn't last. any tips? Maybe the type of string has has something to do with it?
@robs70986987 Can't wait! Anytime I have my guitar in my hands to work on some of my stuff, and I go on youtube, and if I listen to one of your songs, I'm always listening to your stuff for at least 20 minutes, and delay myself. haha You are very talented man. And I have to agree with bige1093, thats is a very beatutiful location!
waoh! I love the harmonics mixed in with the played notes. I have been subscribed to you for a long time and this is just amazing! Absolutely beautiful!
This video is flawless.... It needs a fix on one problem though.... MORE VIEWS!!!! Your the next Einstein of music. Ive seen so many of your vids and Im blown away by all of them. Keep up the fantastic work and I know for a fact someday, you'll be more famous than Zeppelin, Hendrix, And The Beatles combined. I don't understand how A human being could have so much raw talent. How one person could constantly give me 2 inch goose bumps in a 2 minute session. What you can do leaves me awed everytime
This just in: North and South Korea are now best friends after hearing this song, and have invited the United States of America to a Pizza Party with Rob as the Guest of Honor.
You're so freaking talented it hurts to see that you're not more popular. You've really inspired me to be a better guitarist, and you've shown me the side of music that never gets boring :D.
Been following you since i first started learning, everytime i get too caught up into theory and atonality i watch you and andy mckee to relax me and make me want to play more
Dude seriously, You are crazy good at guitar... and everything else for that matter, are you gonna make an instrumental album? Because I love your instrumental stuff.
@insanerandom Thats awesome! thanks so much for sticking around and feel free to post any cover videos. I always post them on my channel. And I think I've been playing 12 years now? maybe? something like that
@robs70986987 if only I had recording equipment, haha. I've played a few of your songs for performances at school and the teachers and students love your music. (:
just wondering, any tips on buying a classical or acoustic guitar? I've only had an electric for a few years. Should I get an acoustic or classical?
@insanerandom very cool! and recording equipment isn't too much money these days, I recommend trying it out. It can be a lot of fun. And that decision is really up to you, they both have separate benefits and sounds. Try them both out at a local store and see which one you like better
Pretty much learnt the first 2 minutes by ear, the stretch 1.02 is so hard, you seem to do it with such ease, is the spacing between frets different on nylons and steel
@RockMetalAndStuff that's so awesome to hear! the full tab for this song is in the description if you want to learn the rest! :) and the spacing between the strings certainly is, so if your trying this one on a classical you definitely have a bit more of a stretch
@robs70986987 I have got it pretty much down, After the pull off from the 1st fret it is hard to get back to the stretch but I am sure I'll get it soon. I'm going to write some drums for this, when I upload it would you be interested checking it out aswell as eventually and a few others.
P.S do you still want to do that cannibal corpse colab =D
@robs70986987 I cannot believe I am talking to my favourite acoustic composers ever and one of my fave guitarists, I will film it and hopefully we can keep in contact =D
@IaintNeverWrong yes I do! and I didn't see this comment until now. feel free to add me. and the full tab for this song is in the description if you want to learn it! :)
@Mindfreak2Darkboy I am self taught, but I find when doing a lot of work with your right hand on the fret board it's a much more comfortable way to play
I love how you mix harmonics in w/your playing. What a beautiful piece! It looks like your guitar has a bit of high action...but still you played it effortlessly. Great Job,man!
The way your filming style and video interactions are improving to keep up with your music is just incredible. More and more, I find your videos an experience more than only a showcase of the song
