Smokin' Joe Robinson on a Gibson ES-5 Jazzing it up!

[happyguitar1]

This is Beautiful Playing..The average guitar player can not play this style. This is your Gift! I LOVE it! Sometimes we just need to enjoy it and not try to analize it. God Bless you!

[MrRed0n]

what's the name to the second song?

[sOnmiise]

i started playing the guitar 6 months ago.. my goal is to play like him someday x)

[LifesonFan4Life]

The guy's amazing . I'm sure if he played everything slow you'd all say he was "boring as fuck" or " what's so special about that ? .. I can play it faster " .. you self-professed critics suck balls .. go watch Entertainment Tonight with the rest of 'the cattle'

[1337Lucca]

the minor swing was superb

[rmccaw7]

EXIT LIGHT!!!!! ENTER NIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHTT­TTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[carpenterbilly1]

DEAR MR SANDMAN, BRING ME A DREAM, GIVE ME THE PRETTIEST IVE EVER SEEN, bum bum bum bum

[AssaneRue]

beutiful!

[DoTheBacon]

MR.SANDMAN

[weeslipknot1]

beatles?

[donottawaguitar]

that was so nice

[theoriginalbensteele]

I'd like to see him take a solo.

[PaxtonTye]

Wow.

[LordOfTec]

chet atkins turns younger with the time! :)

[purpleskycalm]

This is why the stuggle of mankind is brings forth so much fruit in it's own time....

[AndZephyr]

I couldn't tell that it wasn't Chet Atkins if I wasn't looking at the screen. Wow!!! Some talent! Self-taught too. And he has that tempo right on the money too.

[rstone770]

Sounds very much like chet atkins.

[MarcelRGuimond]

Most enjoyable!

[jmanobe]

You've certainly got skill, but your style makes me feel like I've got to be somewhere and I'm running late. One word for you - phrasing...

[pugzig4me]

I would say you already know you are great.... Chet would be smilin' and you've played with Tommy...you are on your way..... keep having fun

[edmatper]

I think he kicks ass, amazing boy guitarist. Wish him a lot of success, he deserves it !

[tonyceleste1]

G R E A T !!!!!!!

[TINFOILindieband]

@jacksonsrareguitars I didn't dig the million mile an hour Minor Swing, but that first piece he played was absolutely phenomenal! Is that an existing song, or just a little improv he did? If it's already a song, what's the name? I'd love to (attempt to) learn it myself. Thank you for uploading this, by the way!

[HuntleySlim]

@TINFOILindieband It's Mr. Sandman by the Chordettes

[Le5Pau1]

That guitar is the ugliest peice of shit I have every layed eyes on...

[picko002]

@TheSoloMan123456789 Captain Obvious strikes again!

[megamite199]

great work bro :-)

[cast390]

I Guess you're still an idiot.And will remain so,regardless of your ability to speak 4 languages.(I'm so impressed)Now shut your pie hole cheese dick no one cares what you have to say.

[OkInsanity]

@cast390

haha child. a shame retard kids aren't killed at birth no more. Would be a good way for you to go. You seem to have nothing to add to this planet. Wouldn't be surprised if your american aswell.. man that would explain a lot :D

A shame you never really adress all the points in my response. You just curse and curse just as long as the other stops talking back, just te be done with your stupidity. Mutch like you do in real life. And then you think you have won :D Kinda pethetic ;)

[cast390]

@OkInsanity The Internet intellect,internet tough guy behind his keyboard,you so insult me with your hurtful power of suggestion(and in 4 languages yet).ppffff nigga please.When insulting others it has more impact if you can spell correctly.Lern Howe two spel yer werds shit for brains.

[mlkemper]

as he gets older he will slow down ;as his youth makes him impetuous; he will put out great arrangements ..Sting once said ''the rests ''are more important than notes ..he will get better ..he is already awesome ..he will become more so as he gets some age and the testestorne slows down ..

[TanqMuffin]

I wish I could play guitar like this!

[jessissalltheway]

you.are.amazing! <3

[lolzy44]

your a fucking campion

[stevekon11]

the kid is awsome hitting every kiy dead on with amazing speed and skill...

[stevekon11]

the kid is awsome

[kaba905]

Is this Joe Robinson or Joe Pass..?

[SatanMadeMe]

@kaba905 This is SMOKING JOE! xD Robinson that is.

[sgtBicho]

Minor Swing+Caribe (M.Camilo)?? XDDDD

[ChavezRey]

Sandman followed by the classic Django Reinhardt Minor Swing. This kid has got swing and knows his guitar history.

[ramonasidneybaker]

chet atkins style!

[TtEkSoF]

does anyone know where do get the TAB for this version of 'Mr Sandman'?

thanks!

[gibderfenson]

@TtEkSoF I made one

[MendingSilence]

wat is he playing

[adaliross]

@MendingSilence mr sandman fingerstyle

[bugietube]

Oily cats. You're very impressive, however I wish to express my concern; that if you want to make the most of your life and abilities, you should probably quit smoking. Take up scrabble...yeah...that sounds good--Scrabblin' Joe Robinson.

[cast390]

I cant understand why people like smokin joe gotta play everything 1000 mph,SLOW DOWN

[vanglee9]

@cast390 coz they can

[cast390]

@vanglee9 Fail

[Naxadium]

@cast390 Its just the style of playing...

[fingerpickups]

@cast390 what do you expect from someone who calls himself smokin joe, slow ballads?

[PeterStorm81]

@cast390 ever heard of gypsy jazz? thats played like this. and apparently he is good at it. really good.

Check out the "Rosenberg trio", they are awesome. What he does is a way of playing nothing more :)

[OkInsanity]

@cast390

God you have no clew and so do the 13 retards giving you thumbs up... ffs did you even ever hear some1 play gypsy before..?

[cast390]

@OkInsanity And you have no clue how to spell..retard!

[OkInsanity]

@cast390 yeah it's hard being perfect in 4 different languages. As english is not my mother tongue i'm happy enough with what i have.

But i gues it's good enough to make you get the point. Seeing as that's the only thing you can come up with, i gues you know i'm right.

So try to just shut your stupid mouth when you don't know what your talking about. Kinda makes you look like a screeming child.

[Petertunes]

@cast390 because they can

[Lakaroth]

@cast390 I cant understand why normal people gotta play everything 10 mph, RISE UP

[vibratingstring]

@cast390 He's young. Give him time. :-)

[klblackstar]

@cast390 playing fast is really fun sometimes!!

[dbarber970]

@cast390 Think Django Rheinhardt



[metalmaniac767]

@cast390 If you played this song on a solo guitar at the speed of the original song it would be borderline boring, because it's just one single instrument by itself, so kickin up the tempo a bit gives it some extra spice.

[noelmeehan]

@cast390 Playing at a good speed doesn't mean it is played wrong or out of the box. You should not RUSH things to play properly, which is kinda different. Joe can play fast and absolutely into the groove box in his own style.

[TheGuitardan100]

@cast390 I agree. 90% of his videos are of him playing way too fast. Some of the best guitar pieces are the slower ones!

[Yourname942]

@cast390 its good that way, thats why :)

[coal4life]

I'm callin' out the 3 major suckage people that didn't like what this kid has to offer.

[trapiatapioca]

Chet Atkins would have been proud of you!

[Sterenke]

Ibanez p0wn gibson! o_O

[Martinezlopez113]

@Sterenke hell no 

[Sterenke]

@Martinezlopez113 wanna comment your oppinions in all eternety?

[falaise40]

Love him because his awesome, but i love because his an AUSSIE!!

[michaelchain]

Great pickin' there boy. Keep it up. You sure don't suck!

Michael Chain Band

[CAGED1702]

Awesome..!

[PjGorton]

Daaam!! 3 people where so amazed by the guitar playing they accidentally hit the dislike button!

[sebasdive]

what is the song he plays first?

[thesteve120]

@sebasdive mr sandman

[pablodepinho]

damn right phil should not be playing for fretted americana videos

[Ziece4]

I've always been jealous of the way these type guitars look. SO WHEN I GET A CUSTOM GUITAR IT'S GOING TO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE IT

[andshep11]

WHATS HE PLAYING!?!?!?!

[jowneskater12]

cuando creesca kiero ser como el

[jotinhahpt]

WHY PEOPLE COMMENT ALL THE TIME WITH "TUMBS UP IF .." ?!!

REALY, WHATS THE POINT ?!

[JOHNGIFTED]

That's a Matchless DC-30 right?

[FCValle]

MR SANDMAN! AWESOME!

[dirtyolbum96]

what is the second song called

[pickinpop]

@dirtyolbum96 2nd song is minor swing

by jango rheinhart and stefanne grapelli

[diamondrhyme]

So in the master class, they would tell you to slow way down, get a bit more musical and then speed back up. Amazing guitarist for sure.

[adammm3210]

Is there any tabs for this?

[MrMatthewLeo]

Great player, and my dream guitar!!

[slutbucketism]

Very well executed. Excellent.

[s9h9a9b9u]

Come to papa!!

[bolow31]

I WANT THAT GUITAR!!!

[gamergeek3000]

Hope he got payed well! You guys made him play a full set huh?! : )

[TL250Rider]

You are very Good "GREAT"

keep up the good work

You have a GOD Given Talent.

[Hoopermazing]

@TL250Rider Practice, not god.

Practically any man of the Manouche tribe in France and Belgium can play just like this or better from the time that they are 10 years old. It isn't because they are favored by some made up deity. It's because their family starts them young and they practice, practice practice.

[FreaquedeMusique]

ok that mr sandman was awesome! xD

[bmadccp]

I hate talented people.

[coolfilm1234]

@bmadccp Because you're too jealous. He did YEARS of practice that's why you hate them because they CAN and you DON't

[ATLMember]

@coolfilm1234 I think he was joking...

[bmadccp]

@coolfilm1234 Exactly! (It was my sarcastic way of saying..."holy shit!") Don't get your panties in a wad.

[GFXxMedia]

mr, sandman <3 best song.

[bluechimplover50]

you're fantastic don't let anyone tell you differently I idolize you!

[nickclugston96]

thank god there is someone original doing guitar solos on youtube. im bored of hearing the overplayed heavy metal tunes and the in your face overused grimey solos. keep strumming kid, your an artist on your guitar

[FamousSASman182]

Reminds me of Doyle Dykes

[swill3869]

ha !!!!! this has only 2 dislikes.......lonerssssssssss­ssss!!!!

[bigmrclean]

Fantastic job there buddy! Nice sounding piece!

[swill3869]

this sounds like mr sandman



[MrGoldencola]

@swill3869 thats because it is Mr. sandman

[swill3869]

@MrGoldencola HA:) needless to say he is 1 of the best guitar players ive seen

[MrGoldencola]

@swill3869 I completely agree! Hes awesome

[chainlightning58]

Who the hell is this guy?

[maddietw11]

@chainlightning58 the winner of australias got talent, joe robinson

[SudoNimh]

Astounding. Can't imagine what you will be capable of 10-20 years from now. You could be one of the names that people remember forever.

Also shows the proper way to use amazing speed is not to beat people on the head with it and it can still be done with melody.

[eeemanjam]

wow wow wow , so cool

[AdSimp1]

You are ! wow i think you are amazing :D

[MrCyssiek]

joe made my day

Sandman and Minor Swing. helllyeah

[ZakeWagner]

when did he start play?

[leiko46]

Really smooth playing

[mrdazuelos]

he has great future

[angelorock74]

Todas las guitarras del mundo quieren ser tus amigas

[jackieclark123]

whats the second song he plays

it sounds really good

[djmmusic2320]

@jackieclark123, im pretty sure its "Minor Swing" by Django Reinhardt

[jackieclark123]

@djmmusic2320 thanks heaps. :D

[vinnothelizard]

genius .. one word!!

[Budyguy222222]

Fine-ass playing.  Nice axe, too.

[charlesmdk]

Damn!!!! Those P-90'S sound amazing.

[ZakeWagner]

what song is he playing after mr sandman?

[frannydog94]

@ZakeWagner Its minor swing, it should come up if you look up django reinhardt on youtube

[ZakeWagner]

@ZakeWagner off course its DJANGO :D

but thanks

[MiniDaab]

he sounds like hes been playing jazz for 30 years.

quite nice

[WoWintosh]

Thumbs up if you think that Joe should do demos for Fretted Americana. Phil is a cool guy and all, but Eruption on a 1959 Les Paul? Give me a break.

[nickblum97]

@WoWintosh phil x is a one of a kind guy so i think Joe should stick with jacksons rare guitars

[CJsoccer4]

@WoWintosh demos yes. but not all. just the blues and jazz guitars. not including the les paul

[lllULTIMATEMASTERlll]

@WoWintosh No. That would be freakin gay. And he never did eruption on 59 les paul. Its phils attitude and the way he plays guitar that makes him so good. This kids playing is a little boring and you cannot tell the tone of the guitar if you just play classical jazz stuff.

[RadioMasterDude]

@WoWintosh Dude, Phil is the perfect guy. I mean, he can play guitar, make a REAL guitar sound like it should REALLY sound like, and the most important part of all: he can actually make people to stay and watch a 10 minute video of himself doing his job, selling guitars. I'm not really bashing on this guy, though, I mean, he's an awesome guitarist and if I had a band I would ask this guy to be in it, but I think Phil is meant to demonstrate guitars at FA, like if he's a chosen one... :P

[Skachild15]

@RadioMasterDude  I completely agree with this comment

[almor619]

@WoWintosh first its not a les paul ... and eddie used a gibson pickup on his frankencaster so ... and i know this comment is old XD

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@WoWintosh

a 1959 les paul didn't get it's recognition through jazz and country players, give me a break;)

[WoWintosh]

@Guitarvirtuoso666

He did the dive bombs with THE TUNERS

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@WoWintosh

that made things even cooler:p

but you know, I really like Phil, because in my humble opinion, you only know what guitar really can do by doing the unexpected with it.

I alreay know what a es 175 sounds on a jazz setting, crank that bitch,

at the same time, I would die to hear someone with a jackson with EMGs doin some jazz on it

[rockerdude29]

@WoWintosh NO ONE CAN REPLACE PHIL X!! lol

[TheDistortionist]

Wow. I heard some Django in there. Apparently I'm not the only 17 year old who listens to gypsy jazz.

[echofingerboards]

o my god the money id pay 2 play these songs exactly like this at a school talent show. and O MY GOD the ladies u'd get :)

[ThaDjcm]

i hate that guitar

[RabbitPunter]

that guitar suits him.

[keo774]

wow

great guitar and playing

[mirelurk1]

smokin joe shreds like a mofo

[albtraum22]

Watch Diknu Schneeberger on YouTube too. He's also a very great young talent of jazz-guitar.

[ComedyRaiders]

Props to this man, but i find it funny that he always wears the same t-shirt in all these movies! srsly check it out XD

[spike4379]

@ComedyRaiders i think its cause they were all recorded on the same day

[coal4life]

I've been an old man for awhile now and the only young people that make me think there might be hope for the future are young musicians like Joe here. Thanks for the post. Good vid.

[6stringwood]

Hey Joe, I can tell you have worked very hard on mastering this style of playing and it shows in every song you play. I am blown away by how you have mastered the guitar at such a young age. You deserve only the good things the music world has to offer you. Thanks for sharing your talent. Simply Outstanding!

[angelotheone]

Woow Man! Keep up the good work, Its very nice!

[MrJaapKooiman]

Man, feel that matchless, I think you have found your endorser:P

[bjdooi]

damn, tht guy has music running through his veins, i bet all the top jazz artists wanna jam with this kid

[lilianka1000]

Its realy beatiful :) he is beautiful :)

[1991Martin]

What the ... :D hey man like Django Reinhardt

[Tayplupe]

What a great talent. I have been playing years and have seen many great players but this young man has it in spades.

[cottoneyejoe1]

how the hell u became so good at playing guitar?! Ur better than allot of well known artist - way better, Ur a god at playing it, u mesmerize me, GOD!

[tjthegreat7]

you freak!!!

if tommy is the master you sure will be very soon

[cmondefeatme]

Oh my goodness... Reminds me of Chet! :D

[lefte18]

i gotta say when he plays on electric guitars I'm like this =) but when he plays his acoustics im more like this >=D!!! lol

[cadacomica]

Psh I can do that... NOT! He's too cool.

[Johnoooh]

I hate this guy, he's too talented.

[Seanbrunswick12]

Ooh Mr.Sandman!! Nice one!! :P

[still2weirdfoU]

[WoWintosh]

He's the next chet atkins

[kdjfnvjvd]

[garydupuis]

Everytime I watch this guy, he never fails to amaze me...

[kaykasios]

[Gminor7]

@kaykasios First is Mr. Sandman, a 50's pop tune. Next is Minor Swing by Django Reinhardt.

[kaykasios]

@Gminor7 thanks man!!

[guitarsalert]

is that first jazz part a song or is it just your awesomeness jazzing around ? :)
