Yes Robben is an amazing guitar player. But, the best part about him is his personality. He has zero ego and he looks like he genuinely likes helping others. I wish more people were like him...
You can obviously tell that he is exploring NEW ideas (not used up licks) right there live for thousands of views. How wonderful! A true solo improvisation in every tune.
Freddy taught us all so much, the energy, the fast shuffle, he got me to playing guitar in 1961 and after several beaters i was able to save up for a brand new Telecaster in 1966 w/ hard case for under 200 bucks, played it thru a Gibson Vanguard amp w/ a single 15" Jensen speaker, great combo.
Been listening over and over. The most inspiring phrasing in a guitar solo ever. Forced me to study and learn some licks - such an awesome recording and tone...

@@tovarisch2788 Obviously. 🤦♂️ But, in the title, the word "Cannonball" is spelled incorrectly with only one "L". At first glance, I thought it said "Cannibal", too. Some people just don't have a simple sense of humor anymore.
i was lucky enough to grace the Stage with Robben at a reunion show Jam in Campbell,Ca. in the 80's. i was on stage with my Sax and we did "Stormy Monday" of course i did a solo on this one.
I had the privilege to play at the same ball room in the the late 60s early 70s when robin ford was playing for Jimmy Witherspoon. The ballroom was in Monterey CA. And called The San Carlos ballroom (now gone). They headlined that night . My band W. Spider blue's band played first.I believe Charlie Musselwhite and his band were playing too.Long time ago but what a night. I play harmonica!
Robben says he thinks of himself as fundamentally a blues player, and he is, but he brings so much more to his playing than about 99% of the blues players out there now.
Because like a jazz guy he uses Tritone subs and diminished runs and 4th voicings over the V7 chords.......check out Jimmy Herring .... 'scapegoat blues'.....you will see what I mean
i remember ...waiting at buddie guys legends...in 1995......to see robben....and .this texas lookin dude with the most beat up slide guitar that ive ever seen...came on first,...called ROY ROGERS...we never heard of him back then...but he BLEW OUR MINDS...ROY ROGERS IS JUST.....SOMETHIN ELSE....
A friend of mine has a story bout Roy, my buddy opened up for him, solo slide guitar. Walkin off stage when done Roy looked at him and said F*&k you Nick! Nick said it was the best compliment he had ever received. :)
RF continues to do what he does best - 'play the $*#@ out of his guitar!' i read somewhere he was inspired by Mike Bloomfield as a young player to do just that ... and he still does it better than anybody on the planet. Long may you run RF ...
So Great to meet you WOW SO GREAT,Can't understand how I missed ever knowing about this Man.So good,And Love The Texas Cannionball ......Oh I'm in love.
It’s funny, if I just heard the audio I’d swear he was ripping that beautiful Tele of his ! Got a bit more hollowness to the sound, but 100% Robben Ford 😌
Robben Ford's favorite Freddie King cover, but the guitar sound is wonderful. 335 is better than Carlton. Drums by Toss Panos and bass by Travis are great.

I agree with your coment!!
True masters are never egocentric ......and are nice persons .
Best comment ever. I have seen him live. He is otherworldly
absolutely true, the living master of blues jazz and humble. His music getsa into your heart and I believe that's because of authenticity and honesty
Toss and Travis. One of the best Blues trios that Robben has ever assembled.
Damn, Robben!!!! No one plays blues like that!!
Matt Schofield does 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Love it when Robben gets those horn sounds from his guitar. Very few guitarists can phrase in both interesting and accessible ways. A master.
An ES 335, a Dumble OD Special and Robben's fingers - tone heaven!
Everything about this is stellar. Amazing tone, playing and the band are seriously on it. Love seeing robben play a 335
A masterclass, three fabulous musicians
Amazingly expressive playing. Really true to the spirit of Freddie King while expanding on his approach.
Robben is one of the greatest, and I love his playing and his musicianship!
Who's still listening to this? I know I am, can't get enough. :-)
One of the best live performers and I’ve seen em all
this is top notch, harmony, melody, feel, tone it's got evething

Nobody plays like Robben Ford. He’s a school of one.

😂😂😂😂😂
totally agree I feel the same he shines even brighter on slow tunes
What an absolutely beautiful biting tone,complete control of phrasing and expression.Love RF !
Tearing off the flesh in this wonderful rendition of "CANNIBAL SHUFFLE"
Cannonball, not Cannibal!

Eloquent questions and elegant answers, all wrought through Robben's mind and guitar. ;)
Travis is feeeling it! Always a treat to watch
The great trio I have seen it in italy exeptional

Robben Ford y'all!! Seen him many times and one of my all time favorite guitarists! Incredible tone and man... how he attacks that fretboard!!

Robben has the fire! 🔥🔥🔥
Damn he’s an excellent player and tone junkie too!
✌🏼
🎉❤cooking band is really feeling. This they must love this guy they wrote it for

As a rock pentatonic guy, I can hear that this is next level sh*t
Listen up guys and dolls, this is how you do it! Damned rocking!
It might be how robben does it (and l'm happy and awestruck that he does) but l could never do this.
His guitar tone is beyond words. And no, he doesn't sound the same when not playing the dumble.
AnalogOpher or the 335
AnalogOpher - I’d pay money to go see the guy play an oil can guitar thru an RCA television. But the 335 and the Dumble is kinda nice.
I like seeing a well schooled drummer. very good technique.
It has that Freddie King feel, a great tribute!
The bass is right on the money.
今一番好きなブルースギタリスト。😃サンキュー😆💕✨
So Great to meet you WOW SO GREAT,Can't understand how I missed ever knowing about this Man.So good,And Love The Texas Cannionball ......Oh I'm in love.
Still do so, timeless, unrivalled tone and monster mid punch sound.

How was it a year back?
drummer giving it hell
It’s funny, if I just heard the audio I’d swear he was ripping that beautiful Tele of his !
Got a bit more hollowness to the sound, but 100% Robben Ford 😌
fantastic musician!
Awesome!
Check out "Nothing's Changed" - Jimmy Witherspoon feat Robben Ford.

Freddy... was READY ! Are you ready for Freddy?
Robben Ford's favorite Freddie King cover, but the guitar sound is wonderful. 335 is better than Carlton.
Drums by Toss Panos and bass by Travis are great.
Awesome
I'm buying all you Cats a 335 for Christmas......even if Ya already gotz one...........
Nice!..
drummer is a demon
@ 6daysgone It´s a Rockpalast record in German Tv ;)
I have a cherry-red ES, too, but....
경이롭다
wow master master
0:48 ahhhhahhhahh...
FUCKIN' AWESOME!!!
oooohhh yeh
Kylo Ren on the drums, yeah!
Toss Panos is the drummer.
Swede McGuire It’s a pop culture/doppelgänger reference. But Panos is a fantastic drummer.
LOVE FENDERS BUT YOU CANNOT NOT GET THIS TONE WITH ONE CLOSE BUT NOT QUIT LIKE THE 335.
Not half bad :-)
2:45
Jesus H, why am I paying for useless cable tv that hardly ever has programming like this?
Put this stuff on American TV why don’tcha .
Maybe it was recorded in Germany. WDR in the left corner in the video is a german tv channel. But I'm not sure man.
Thats Germany for shure..
