A Roberto Concerto! LOL. Man I LOVE this song, Rob, and the live variation is really cool. One of these days I might get brave enough to try playing a stick...I just wish that Houston wasn't so darn far away from Fredricksburg so I could get some really great instruction from my personal stick hero. :D

Thanks LC! Things are going well and I had a fun low-key gig at a progressive rock festival in Pittsburgh this past weekend (played outdoors under the tent between sets). My wife was born in Houston and has expressed interest in visiting there so maybe I can get a gig there someday!

[doublenigma]

do they make those sicks left handed??

If they do there prolly crazy expencive to a right hand one. bottom line acoustic guitar is just a $50 difference just because it's left hand strings

anyhw good music man keep it up

[rpmartino]

Thanks for the comment- Yes, they can set them up left handed, it might not cost extra either. But since both hands are tapping and doing similar things, it's sort of like piano and I don't think left/right handed applies as much like it does for guitar- you have to teach each hand to do new things anyways. So other lefties (like Greg Howard) still just use the regular version.

Call me ignorant but I've never come across the Stick before but wow you leave a great first impression! A friend of yours left a comment on my latest video suggesting I check out your stuff and I'm glad I did :) subscribed

I think Tony Levin is going to have to hand over the spotlight

excellent musicianship 5/5

Rob...I just had to see this video again. How are you?

[rpmartino]

@definewords thanks! I was in Nashville a few weeks ago (not to play, my wife had a conference but I checked out a couple venues) would definitely try to set up a gig or two next time I'm there. Always open to new contacts.

[definewords]

@definewords sorry ...typo ROB ... forgive me. oh, I just sent off a link to a major contact here in Nashville ... wHo knows!

[definewords]

Just had to replay it again ... love the intro. I live in Nashville Rod .. when ever your down this way I sure hope I can make it to sit in on a live performance. Nashville has plenty of room for ya man. I probably could hook you up with some big contacts. Actually have one in mind.

yeah f........ cosmic sound

[SerraFlame]

My favorite version yet, just above the studio versions by a notch. Your playing has really improved. And of course, the tune is one of the best I've heard.

[YertleTheTurtle87]

That was beautiful :)

[kresling]

I've never seen anything like that stick before. More importantly, that's a good tune you've written--I forgot all about the stick.

[4joe2berry0]

you are my IDOL man. your music is beautiful and i wish i could play like you

[montezband]

really good love it!
