Bob Zabek - Born Under A Bad Sign

[JamSearchGuitar]

You are the greatest blues guitarist since Hendrix. I'm glad I came across your videos. The more I see, the more I love your style of playing. You are a great player. 

[JamSearchGuitar]

There are many with superior technical skills but they lack what you have. There are many people (players and listeners) who think technical skills is what it is all about. You have more than technical skills. You have something they can't learn no matter how much they practice. I'm not comparing you to no one. You are special. I can feel your music and love your style. Thanks. Can I have some more?

[TheBassmeditation]

Holy shit man.

[MichaelJohn5570]

This guy is amazing, my new inspiration.

[MichaelJohn5570]

I dig your jam my friend. Much love, M.J.

Bob I love you.. All Homo

[azkeyz]

Yes the competition where I am is that tuff.

[azkeyz]

I'll try to be deadly honest here.

unless a guitarist walks through the buckethead door they won't get anything.

and here comes the brutaly honest part

if you played this kind of thing where I'm at , you would be not only tossed out , you would most likely be beaten in the alley.

[azkeyz]

I warned him in the previous video that he will need to abandon this kind of thinking

I have warned him that he needs to seek out buckethead and flog himself untill buckethead approves.

none of this stuff works anymore.

I'm dead serious.

[winterguitarkingyea]

I've been a Johnny Winter fan all my life, you're as good as Johnny (hard for em to say) or better , God Bless You for you're talent and hard work to become as you are Thanks Man ...

[skarfreak]

love it... just know seen u here in youtube a couple of hours ago.. count me in as your new fan... hehehhe

[TheDennisod]

Darren Householder , Ray Gomez , John Herring . very fast

If you want to hear great electric blues playing , Jeff Healey , Chris Duarte , Buddy Whittington .... and remember , those old guys didn't have many modern advantages that players have now . Like lighter string gauges and an unwound G string . unheard of numbers of overdrive and sustain devices . If you play too fast , the girls don't get it .

[TheDennisod]

This guy is decent but not as good (not even close ) as SRV , Warren DeMartini , Frank Marino , Michael Schenker , EVH , Rhoads , Johnny Winter or Rory Gallagher in their hey-day ...Eric Clapton in the 60's and 70's , Joe Bonamassa and or Jimi Hendrix . Sounds like you might have heard Foxey Lady , but have you heard side two of Band of Gypsy's ? Danny Gatton ? Roy Buchanan ? Brad Paisley ? Brent Mason ? Michael Landau ? Buckethead / Rusty Cooley ? Django ?

[codyahernek]

@TheDennisod yes he is, look at some of his other stuff.

[dhoeymans]

Brilliant! as always

greetz, yr friend Do

[combatfear4]

you are the best men wow

[joezphilips]

are they the best guitarist in the world?

[jimipaigeownzzz]

hes high as fuck lmao

[cansk19]

yes.. i enjoy

[GeetarAdam]

Bob is great! Another younger guy who I don't believe gets enough credit is Corby Yates. Anyone who loves good blues should check him out. All his vids only have like 300 views and I just don't get it. Help this guy out.

[150mg]

man ich kann nicht aufhören es mir täglich anzuhören, komm schon bob tu uns nen gefallen und lad n neues video hoch =)

[Muzikman127]

is that a fender or what?  It's got a great tone.

[Andoni666]

fendr guitars have th best tone for lead

[150mg]

wuuham ... great job man what a jam ;-)

[valebliz]

Wicked shit. Really. You have an awesome feeling with the music...

[omusialo]

Bobby, i know im gonna get a ton of grief for saying this....but you put Hendrix, the old delta blues boys, Muddy Waters, the Kings, Chuck Berry, even SRV, to shame. You are the best blues guitarist i have ever heard. You have incredible feel for the genre and your guitar playing skill speaks for itself. I think the Blues is a dying art, but if you were born 60 years ago, you would have been a legend by now...

[sobman]

You're saying that they didn't have the feel for blues? Ya. I'm not even going to touch this.

[bensmith3200]

Bobby is a great player: this is true.

But to say that he puts all other blues musicians to shame is not only blasphemous, it's downright bogus.

It's impossible to compare the type of electric-lead playing that Bobby is doing in this video with acoustic Delta musicians like Robert Johnson or Skip James.

Robert Johnson didn't have a computer to accompany him with bass and shakers. He didn't have an electric guitar to play lead. He played both parts on his acoustic guitar, and sang falsetto.

[omusialo]

Im not discrediting the founders of the genre, which is why i said i knew i would get grief for this. However, Bob's skills and technical ability far outweigh anything I've ever heard within the blues genre. Watch all his other videos, then come back and tell me that Robert Johnson is a better guitar player. I understand your point that technology plays a factor, buts its almost irrelevant. Its like comparing athletes of the past to modern athletes. The new guys continue to get better and master

[mh1402]

that's too bad they didn't have computers, but who cares, I love blues, and this is soulful my friend

[bhound15]

@omusialo LMAO..thats one of the funniest statements ive ever heard! good one buddy i needed that! lol

[JackDawsonRMS]

@omusialo Gee let me guess...your his female cousin,sister,mother,or aunt? which one? maybe even his brother?

[xarontas666]

@JackDawsonRMS let my guess...you are an idiot or deaf and stupid? which one? maube both..

[Davoravo86]

@omusialo

Don't be rediculous, Hendrix and SRV eclipse this dude. Don't get me wrong, he's a really good guitar player but if he was born 60 years ago he wouldn't sound anything like this. Unless he was following Hendrix everywhere.

Bob Zabek is no doubt due some recognition, but don't go slating the greats and trailblazers which gave him the crayons to play with.

Born Under a Bad Sign is and Albert King tune.

[whisky9096]

Good....

[kodeejames]

anyone who gave u a good comment here... i totally agree! fantasic! i wonder why some people think all those old country blues guys are so great... FIERCESOME playing!!!

[uvit]

yeah, awesome cover :)

[McSteezeburger]

You fucking rock. Holy shit

[trbngr86]

Isn't born under a bad sign an Albert King song??

[Muzikman127]

yeah but the way hendrix played it is really similar to this.

[bowtechspeedfreak]

bob who? Well done bro,thats some good feeling!

[Kando0615]

get the fuck outta here! OMG what planet are you from Its Jimmy then Stevie Ray and now you!

[928CS]

Well done! Great tone! Nice job capturing the spirit of the song, and resisting any urge to over-play!

My all-time favorite of Jimi's because he didn't wah it to death, nor fuzz it to death, nor phase it to death, etc, as he did way too often; in my opinion of course...

BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!

Did I mention I loved the tone? :-)

[deadmansclick]

that is fucking quality man. excellent:)

[feelix141]

You are a godamn Legend! Probably one of the best james ive ever heard.

It's like a super power playing that bloody good!

you rock!

[Andoni666]

you are better than john mayer

[birdiejoehoaks]

yeah, but... who isnt?

amiright?

this bob fellow is quite exceptional.

[ktm066]

plus alot of other good players who are well known

[codehendrix]

your fucked john is a master of blues.... you just havent gotten around to see his good shit..... and thats sucks alot for you..... trust me... john kills it right.... this guy is sick though... amazing feel....

[Thefuxup102091]

Damn dude, u are one good guitar player.

[arbitratusmoirae]

Man, if you weren't so goddamn good at that guitar, I'd say you were a walking cliche to be so goddamn cool.

[JimiPlaysWoodstock]

yeeeaaah..!

[MaynardPJK]

damn! the feeling on this is just superb!

[dnabong]

Hi mate how are you,your skill is fu..... wicked ,you must have put the hours in to play like that my name is michael from tasmania,australia,play a les paul delux 79,not as shit hot like you mate

[GeetarAdam]

Does anyone know how old Bob was when he started playing?

[saltenstahl]

i know!

[GeetarAdam]

Very, very Jimi. Nice :D

[kusikx]

hey dude!!! very very nice style and sound!1 check on my site , please ;) i recorded born under a bad sign too hehe ;p

[jazzosaurus1]

Bob...You play really well and it is obvious that you have the highly tuned "ear" for music...Why don't you check out Robben Ford's licks on his version of Born Under a Bad Sign...I think you will really appreciate this guy...He played with Miles when he was like 15 yrs old and plays jazz, blues, rock...everything...would be a nice add to your many playing styles...FH

[Jack741]

You probably get this a lot.. But you really inspire me. I havn't been playing for that long, but I hope one day I can at least have a fraction of your talent. Good luck with everything man!

[the88rocker]

youre playing very good sir ^^ .

good i think i am not think oboud this kind of art , i cant playu like this ..(yet) .

lol

but keep going like this ..

greets

[RoadWarrior2006]

Very Jimi ;)

[drspyn10]

Yo Bobby Baby,

Forget about the perfect band man. Just get some guys and do it. If one or two of them turn out to be duds or can't hack it then get some fuckin new ones man. Give the music to the masses they will praise you. You were born to be shared with the world. The God of the universe has given you a voice (guitar skillz), you should show the world what he's done for you. You fuckin ROCK dude!

[dhoeymans]

Ok You are Bob :) I am promoting you for a while now :) I posted one of your vids (The one you made with thanks to yr ex gf and JW) and it has over 210000 views :) Hope you find that great band and really be out there with the greatests CHEERS! I am a fan man!

[heaton1337]

Pure Feeling

[BlindRevolutionMan]

hey bob here in argentina im a gifted guitar player and singer and...well no band no people to live the fucking dream of music

[dhoeymans]

hey you are NOT Bob Zabek man!

[Ogorek]

Damn... my English isn't good enough to say how much I love to hear your music. It seems you don't think about strings and frets while playing - just pure feelings, pure beauty. Your hands are flying over the fretboard. The precision of every note is killing me. Belive or not you are fu*king awesome!

On the other hand, this video makes me think life sux.

[Ogorek]

It's because so great tallent as you should play live for thousands of fans or in a small, smoky club [chose what you want] instead of making videos for YouTube. I don't get it. Maybe it isn't the best time for guitar players, for music like this? Maybe people need to grow up for this? Or maybe my music taste sux and I know shit about real music because I don't like Britney Spears?

Anyway, I'm sure this site can help you so don't stop!

take care

[lockupl]

dobrze powiedziane!

[0PhantomShadow0]

You look so awesome.

[GuitarChecker]

jut!
