I spent my life emulating EVH, SRV, John Mayer among many others but Robben is from another place musically . If you’re just starting out, PLEASE pay attention to him. Can’t go without mentioning Eric Johnson as well. Phenomenal. Jerry Reed, Danny Gatton and Roy Buchannon are pretty good too lol!!!!! If you’re young ( I’m 50) please go back and let these guys show you how it’s done, then the most important point is to develop YOUR own style. Stand out for goodness sake.

  • @closeoutsaleusa5322

    I've always played a game called: Stay In Key - where I will pick a key and play notes up and down the neck, not caring about making "statements" with the notes or playing licks - just playing notes and staying in key. I started doing that when I was 19 (played since I was 12) and I'm still doing at at the age of 64. Great way to warm up and I've created some new songs and riffs by doing that. And some of my "mistakes" wound up being some of my best compositions.

    Although Robben seems to find it somewhat unlikely I actually DO use a maj7 chord in the Blues every now and then... (e.g. a bVImaj7 just before going to the V7 chord in a minor Blues)
    But maybe he just didn't want to scare the cowboy chord guys right away with cryptic nomenclature... (and I guess we ALL have been cowboy chord guys when we first picked up a guitar)

  • @tpap6827
    @tpap6827 7 месяцев назад

    Great players are never afraid to share because they know it will help push the art forward and will not lead to clones because guys who learn certain techniques or approaches that others are generous enough to share are typically absorbed by guys and put into a context that reflects their style. Guys who are serious musicians will use it as an influence vs step towards becoming a clone. The clones just make people think, wow I wish I was listening to the guy he is trying to be. If you plan on being great you understand that borrowing ideas and techniques to build up your tool box is how blues and jazz evolve. Clones do nothing to evolve a genre and simply sound like they have no identity, come across as dishonest and their product will come across as unauthentic and inferior to the original who also has influences but carved out his out space by learning from others and blending licks, timing, phrasing and vibrato that identifies their own unique voice on the instrument. That's what this whole thing is. It's about be a important person in the development of the art form. If you cannot do that honestly you will not be remembered as a contributor

Not about speed just what sounds good. Effortlessly genius.

    Hence the ( N6) or harmonic min b5 or melodic min b5..which will overlap
    with the whole tone dominant #2, #4...hence you can play Maj or/and min and diminished
    from the root too....SICK.....
    Start a full diminished from the ROOT or maj3.
