Robben Is such a cool normal guy. And if you ever meet him in person and want to have a conversation with him ask him anything about music And you will get along well. That guy lives eats and drinks music. cool Dude
As an old guy who’s listened to great guitar players going back to James Burton with Rick Nelson, it’s so great to listen to Robben Ford from his Jimmy Witherspoon days to his Jeff McErlain days and beyond. Far too many great musicians have frankly passed on because of age or substance issues. Robben has sure taken good care of himself and ,as a result, we get to hear what a mature virtuoso in full flight. The man is a genius.
Guys, get behind great musicians like Robben and Jeff with the tip jar. Your getting world class musicians providing workshops and lesssons for free. Imagine the cost of a private lesson with these guys.
Robben, being my favorite guitarist I was surprised to hear “Pure” and didn’t get it at first but the more I gave it a chance it turns out that it is presently my favorite record! Surprisingly I listen to it while doing everything and anything. Walking, working out, relaxing, driving, etc! Hits my Soul peacefully! Jeff please relay this to Robben and tell him “Awesome Job” and thank you!
IT DOES MY HEART GOOD TO KNOW THAT ROBBEN is surrounded by so many good people like you because you know how special he is & his musicality it so beyond many. thank G*d he & Kelly met, bc she facilitates his work getting out to so many more musicians & people who love to listen to his genius ideas & dedication to master the music in his being thru his electric guitar & songs in whatever form he chooses.
this is such a great interview, thanks Jeff! the part about witnessing Ravi rehearse is so fascinating. I saw him live once, a lifetime experience. Off to learn more from Robben!
Ha ha ...faster Famous Flames! effin' fiercely freekin' funkay (!) (...now if I could just get JB's fancy footwork 🤔) (I'm up to 23:35 and enjoyin' it immensely!)
Excellent interview, Jeff. Such a privilege to hear Robben talking about his music, approach, inspiration, how to create those sounds and even the psychology of being a musician. 'Pure' is a wonderful album. There certainly is a real joy in the music that comes across strongly. Thank you, both!
Awesome interview thanks so much for this! does anyone know if Robben uses the Zendrive in the studio with the Dumble? I know that he likes to use it live. I was curious if that's the overdrive channel on the album or not. Thanks again for the interview, Jeff!
Robben Ford, Chris Cain, Coca Montoya, Jack Pearson and Tony Dean Eisenbarger ... covers it for me. Among many other things, Robben has all the cool chords that all the cool kids want to learn :-)
I have a question, I don't know much about the music business but Pure is is on RUclips and anyone can listen to it for free. Many of his other records are also available. Is RUclips legally allowed to do this. Isn't Robben trying to sell these records?
RUclips is now like other streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) - you either have a subscription (RUclips Premium) or you watch content with ads. When an artist distributes music to streaming services, RUclips is part of that - unless they purposefuly leave RUclips out of the list.
@@davidsheriff9274 It’s a bit more complicated than that, but in a nutshell, yes. RUclips has a content ID system that recognizes copyrighted music and diverts the ad revenue toward the copyright owner (which can either be the record label or the artist if they’re independent). So none of this is piracy, but truth be told, as Robben mentioned in the video, artists do earn very little or nothing from streaming services.
@@davidsheriff9274 I don’t know his particular case - but usually it’s the record label who owns the recordings (also makes most of the money from streaming/downloads/sales) and makes these decisions. It’s sadly not that simple. Even if both Robben and his label agreed not to upload his music to RUclips, someone else would upload it to their channel. In the end, it might be better to get with the program and upload it on your own official channel, where you have more control over how it’s presented.
@@JeffMcErlain Seriously though, the Pentatonic/Dorian concept has changed my life! It has taken me past "surface level" learning into playing and LOVING what I hear. First time in a long time that has happened! Your fusion course can't come out soon enough. Thank you for all you do! And...those eyes! I'm sure you here it all the time. Va va, and might I add Voom!
Robben.. I LOVE the sophistication…and feel..and tone of your music..!! BUT…somehow I can picture you in your flat..after the second bottle of wine.. and you’re playing air-guitar to AC/DC albums… lol… just joking,man..! 👍🏼❤️

I am always amazed how Robben can continue to evolve musically. Pure is definitely Robben hitting his stride.
Robben always seems to be a gentleman.

so well put, Timothy.

Excellent!!
Great interview Jeff. Learned so much from you on Truefire too!
Thank you!!
The entire album is so good. Love it. My favorite track is Blues from Lonnie Johnson: the opening, the tone, the interpretation, … really impressive.

Very interesing, thanks! "Pure" is a great record (not surprisingly!)
You are welcome Phil!
Robben, you look great...
Kelly's taking good care of you...
@36:56 did Nora's sister stop by???
Awesome interview thanks so much for this! does anyone know if Robben uses the Zendrive in the studio with the Dumble? I know that he likes to use it live. I was curious if that's the overdrive channel on the album or not. Thanks again for the interview, Jeff!
Thanks! To answer your question, in the studio Robben uses the overdrive channel for leads, not the Zendrive.
@@JeffMcErlain thanks Jeff! Been curious about that for a while. Appreciate it!
👏👏👏👏👏👍

@@MrBluesmanJunior oh, I see,so when an artist has an entire record posted on RUclips, the artist get money from RUclips from their ads?

Remember listening to vinyl on a really good system?
You sir are the coolest cat alive!
Me or Robben? Lol.

“He really cared”.
Like the idea of being prepared for the pain to become a "great" player.. Something few acknowledge..
Cool interview.
