Oh my God! I totally needed to stumble across this this morning. A groovy song equally matched with a groovy shirt! I'm going to have to start every Thursday this way.
Had the privilege of seeing this magnificent musician last Monday in Adelaide; a man literally exploding with musical ideas. We talked to him afterwards and my son said this song (the opener in his set) was his favourite. Bob's response was that it helped him to make sure everything was working, audience included!
He was just here playing at a music festival in Adelaide, South Australia and I'm actually trying to work out how to kick myself for missing his shows !
Yeah, this technique is just plain exciting and his execution is flawless. It's like he has pulled together flamenco and finger-style and applied it to a Latin/Caribbean beat .. it's really unique and novel: and that is so very rare these days. Thanks Bob for leading us into this undiscovered territory.
People like Lovesthequestion is totally mistaken. They think skills doesn't goes along with feeling. Brozman is a hell of a musician. Btw, love is the answer and not the question bro. You sound like a envy amature musician. Could you please direct us to some of your work?
@ildedoni Welcome to the internet, you don't have to qualify to play. It's a free for all, you can love, hate, ignore to your hearts content. I'm just a girl with an opinion?
He's only interested in impressing you, he's wanting to be greater than the music. He doesn't do what serves the music. He wants the music to serve himself. If you're impressed it's because you'd like to be up there getting all that attention. You'd like to have this ego trip. This guy is a heartless fool, an ego on steroids, insecure and very unenlightened. Who cares how fast he plays, there's no soul happening here.
@toby099 I've seen yours too toby, but desperations not really my number darling. Perhaps envy and jealousy is what's driven you to protect the poor little thing. But he's not the least bit sexy, maybe that's it. He should lose the beard and get down off the ego trip. I might give him a break, but that wouldn't really be near the fun my reviews bring. I'm a keyboarder with a passion for music with heart and soul. Sadly lacking in this chap.
In addition to being a great human being, Bob is both a brilliant innovator and master of traditional guitar music. Your time spent getting to know this artist's work will be worth every moment.
@ChordCluster A Great Human Being. What exactly qualifies a person for that award? This guy has no heart in his music, a sideshow act guaranteed to impress the impresionable. A veritable fools paradise. Get real, give the award to someone who actually is a great person or a great player.
@loveisthequestion1 nah man, you clearly dont have a clue about music, bob brozman is a proper bluesman, its all from the heart! dont confuse his messy cluttered style with egotism its the complete opposite, hes a crazy mixture of loads of postcolonial cultures in his musixc and his lifestyle. you ignorant sack of shit.
@ChordCluster A Great Human Being. that's laughable. This guy is an egotistical show off. Give the award to someone who gives a littel to planet. His music screams "look at me" A fools paradise.
What is the style called i love it this style is it like 1920 chicago blues? I cant not feel sad listening to this i was singing all day. I cant find the chords or tabs i want to learn it.
This is one of the most rhythmic men on the planet - I did a workshop with him in Bristol, and he has mind-blowing command of rhythms. Bloody funny guy as well.
Sounds like the high E is a D like in open G tuning but the low E remains an E... while the A string... well, I'm not sure! :O... can anyone help pls?
Jesus Christ. Never registrated The Feel myself to that exrend, yo, apparently expose it like spring blossom. Shortly,.... Wau man. What an expression. Carry on, soldier
One of the very few who really can play national reso guitars.I heard great guitar players that dont sound good on nationals cause they dont know how to drive them.Bob knows how thats for sure
Saying any one player is "better" than another is pretty wrong no matter what... so I won't do it, but I haven't seen many slide players better than Pappa Bob.
The best? Who knows what player is "the best"? He certainly has his own very unique way of playing the instrument. It is technically brilliant, exact timing and so on.....But to me, it feels like he is overdoing everything.(Especially his way of singing is painful to listen to). He has a technique I think he calls "scrunch notes" which he frequently uses to ruin many good blues songs. It´s an annoying flamenco style.
Yet you keep coming back to watch and add ing the same types of comments.....why? I am sure you can find videos more to your liking throughout youtube!
PS It is not a flamenco technique, which is the reverse of this.
i agree u cant call him the best, theirs to many, but, you try doing this, and singing, this guys amazing, hes ridiculously talented and devoted to playing
I think I know what this guy is saying...Brozman definitely likes to play with a lot a technical flair, and i agree that it feels labored, but i know some people like their music like that. One of the things I appreciate about music in general is simplicity, and brozman wouldnt be the guy I go to for that
Bob Brozman is one of those rare gems that you can see perform at a small venue or even a music shop. Fortunately for us (but probably not for Bob) popularity doesn't always reflect quality.
i went to a workshop he held. what he told us and showed that day keeps following me, and i always think of him when i write or play. he played this song too.
Ridiculous! What joy, what skill. This makes me smile, too! What else can he do to this guitar? It looks like it would be obscenely hard to play for the rest of us, but easy for him. Glad this video was shared, it makes me rethink how I approach the instrument.
You get to a point with your guitar playing where you're happy and you think "yeah, I'm pretty good".......and then you see someone like BB and you think "Shit. This guy's REALLY good".
it was not bob brozmnan that put this video on and he most likely would not se he was the best national gutar player but the person that put the video up must have a preference for the style of Bob Brozman over the other that you mentioned
i met this man in the bathroom of a club where he was playing and talked with him :D
