    Rob's like "I am not breaking out the Allen wrench and tuning for longer than the video will be, just to have to tune back to standard, my viewers can learn just as well in standard tuning"
    I love how "Eddie Being Awesome" is included in what did we cover today, as if it's theory" 🤣 Rob's too awesome, such a character! Badass guitar player and super fun and positive!

    oh! oh! oh!
    Nobody talks about how when he covers a song, his rhythm playing is simple BUT FREAKING AMAZING (as when he plays his own stuff). ESPECIALLY, "You're No Good", "Dancing in the Streets", "Pretty Woman". 😱!
    I read a long time ago that he took a long time to come up with something to make the songs he covered more "Van Halen". You can definitely hear it! These songs, you'd NEVER think they could ever have the Van Halen feel. He put that "EVH" feel to it, and u never ever doubted it. MISS THAT GUY SO BADLY!!!
