I would love a PBS style travel show where Rob and Brandon just go around looking at traditional and antique instruments and just jamming and talking to the expert players.
Interesting to know that this would have been what your instrument was like if you were a guitar player in the 1600's. 9 strings, tuned fairly similarly and with way more animal intestine then you're used to.
Always great contents Rob , Keep it up , You inspire me a lot, I have couple of very old instruments from north africa on my channel I hope you check them out, Peace
The interesting thing, Rob, is that there's a similar instrument like that 9 string guitar here in Brazil. It's called a "Viola Caipira" (it translates something among the lines as "Countryside Viola"), and it has a similar string set: 10 strings, but in 5 pairs. It is deeply used in folk, brazilian countryside (caipira) music, but it's a popular instrument in some genres and music in Brazil
I love how Acker just randomly was like, "tired of waiting to jam with this guy" and started playing a tune, almost like forcing Rob to start improvising. Lol, held him at guitar-point. 11:16
Vampires actually invented all of the stereotypes. The common thoughts that they can't go out in the sun, that they can't be near garlic or holy water or that they don't have shadows or reflections...well they're all myths, made up so that humans won't suspect them...Trust me...I know.
People saying he can’t be a vampire because he was in the sun.. the thing is that lore didn’t come around until centuries after the “vampire” or general sanguinarian humanoid legends and folk lore were beginning to appear in society... originally it was believed that vampires can go into the sun but because they are night hunters they stayed indoors during the day for more of a resting up for the hunt sort of reason... although some older legends to say that vampiristic beings had a sensitivity to the sun similar to an allergy causing a rash or burns very quickly they still would not die, and with modern inventions such as sunscreen a “vampire” would probably be able to stay in the sun for long periods with minimal effect
Yeah. The whole 'vampires burning to dust in sunlight' thing was invented by the filmmakers for Nosferatu, both to add to the moralism, and to try and skirt the copyright infringement they knew they were doing (they were adapting Dracula without having obtained the rights, so they did a few things to change the story to try and get around that but Stoker's widow still sued and they lost big time. But the point is that Dracula was merely weakened by the sun, not killed)
Thanks for the info I'll continue to start killing anyone I suspect to be a vampire indiscriminately via high velocity lead poisoning even if they're in the sun.
@@TiggerIsMyCat there's also this thing called a dhampir They're human-vampire hybrids who can go in the sun and have supernatural powers but are not as immortal as actual vampires
@@PigBosley I shouldn't laugh at that joke, such bad taste, yet my silly brain did haha... I loved the video after they got away from the planes, the uhaul and ice cream trucks...
Feels like in medieval fantasy entering a town and go to guild after hunting some animal and some kind goblin or escorting from other town with blood in armor laughing with party friend and then just drunk.
I like Brandon's honest statement about how half the story is being historically informed and the other half what appeals to modern sensibilities. Very cool video guys.
I was struck by how incredibly beautiful the song blackbird was, I'd never heard it before and after a small search I have determined you two played it better than I can find it anywhere else. Could you please record a full version of it if you ever get the chance, sometimes it feels like musicians can just happen across these wonderful things; like you're just tuning into something out in the universe that's already there. But that's just my simple assumption, or my inability to respect the thousands of hours of practice I haven't seen or witnessed. Thank you, even if its never complete thank you for a brief glimpse of something wonderful.
@@antigen4 a modern 12 string (6 course) guitar with steel strings is the same thing as a baroque 9 string (5 course) guitar with gut strings? You sure that's the statement you want to make?
You can see the moment where friendship occurred... as soon as Brandon pulled out "Blackbird" the relationship evolved! Nice video fellas, a pleasure to watch and learn.
The song that they start playing at 11:20 is an arrangement of La Canarie by Michael Praetorius. Very nicely done!!! Also when Blackbird starts at 13:44, that was beautiful. This was very insightful, thank you. :)

Thanks for the look at what 16th century shredders were up to. This was way more interesting and fun than I would have guessed! The Beatles tune gave me goosebumps guys! Great job on the playing and the video.
Thank you, belatedly. I really enjoyed this video. Somewhat of an epiphany for me, as my only reference to music being played on stringed instruments of this era is from old movies, where such tunes were usually accompanying beheadings or stonings or general debauchery. My appreciation for these instruments has greatly increased thanks to the beautiful sounds the two of you produced here.
This guy for sure is a vampire and learned these instruments when they were popular

@@alcori770 Riporto quanto scritto dal liutaio Riccardo Mordeglia sul suo sito: "Chitarre fratelli Vinaccia fu Pasquale, anno 1929. La famiglia Vinaccia inventò il mandolino napoletano e le corde di metallo per le chitarre."
Confesso che non sapevo fosse così recente l'introduzione delle corde di metallo, ma questa informazione è plausibile visto che la lavorazione dell'acciaio è tecnologia alquanto recente.
I was sitting here with a huge smile on my face during the whole jam-part :D
The canarios they played is just a legit fun piece to play on theorbo.
when true musicians meet - they just make beautiful music at the spot..
2020: The year Mumford and Sons comes back with these.
Yes please
No please
yes please
This would be highly acceptable.
Black bird never sounded better. I love it.
if these two guys, could travel back in time and play together on the streets... they will definitely get all the girls in the village.
Verily! Every faire maiden of age would be at their feet!
If I had to guess, I'd say only one of them would be interested in the girls.
Now that you mention it, I think it's pretty awesome how techniques have evolved and different areas have been explored.
Its kind of sad that they stopped using the double strings. The sound is really beautiful. I wish these older instruments were more popular

I didn’t know djent was a thing in the baroque period
It wasn't 😎
I dunno, 9 strings seems pretty hefty
They were certified djentle-men
The fact that there are still luthiers making baroque guitars is awesome
My girl just broke up with me.. but instead of crying and being depressed I watch a video of a guitar that’s Orgin is 400yrs old
hope ur doing alright. time heals
My girlfriend cheated on me a few weeks ago. Don’t worry bro, it’ll get better
arcade thanks I’m already over it 😂
So she.... baroque up with you 😎
Haha just don't go Bach to her.
imagine tuning all the strings down one more octave
Would it djent?
@Visho Xs nah the guts are already metal enough
Ok calm down Andrew Baena
Artur Rheinboldt Damn you beat me to it 😂
Boaroque djent
Thanks for the look at what 16th century shredders were up to. This was way more interesting and fun than I would have guessed! The Beatles tune gave me goosebumps guys! Great job on the playing and the video.
Thank you, belatedly. I really enjoyed this video. Somewhat of an epiphany for me, as my only reference to music being played on stringed instruments of this era is from old movies, where such tunes were usually accompanying beheadings or stonings or general debauchery. My appreciation for these instruments has greatly increased thanks to the beautiful sounds the two of you produced here.
