I remember recording this very performance on VHS back in the 80's. I was just learning guitar and was in love with this song. I think now I can appreciate the rolling bass line that goes with it, that's what makes it sooooooo goooooood!

I saw Robben and Larry Carlton live at the Byron Bay Blues fest coupla years ago. Robben has aged a bit bit fuck me what a fucken shit hot gig. Carlton OMG. Robben's style changed a bit but sooo great. Thanx for this clip. Shit hot yankee fella.

Imho, you shouldn't be comparing players and rating them.
But, come on. John Mayer isn't a first rate blues player. Robben Ford is probably of the two three best guitar players, when it comes to Phrasing, in the world.
John Mayer has got a long road ahead of him, and it'll be cool to see where he winds up.
Robben is already there.

This man can play! ...( 1 month ago by franklmac)
This man can play! I've been listening to him since the mid '70s. SRV didn't start playing much lead until 10 years later. RF was much influenced by Mike Bloomfield. Both of their lead phrasing and soul is very similar. I hate to compare guitar players much but it behooves me to no end when I see poorly done videos of Hendrix on Youtube and then see something like this! I know I will piss many people off but this is guitar playing at its best.
I couldn't agree ...( 1 month ago by john26660)
I couldn't agree more. Some guys shred as their form of expression, Robben is modal and phrase oriented. When you break his solos down, he is interweaving between modes in such away that you know it's not just major scales, or pentatonic, but it's hard to put a finger on. A true disciple of Bloomfield, yet he has taken things to a different place (I won't say a different "level" as that would indicate that he is better than Bloomfield, and I won't make that statement). A thinking man's player!

Robben is a fine musician. What I like about him most is that he keeps trying to play something original, and he usually pulls it off. I've been listening to him for over 30 years and I don't get tired of him. People should buy the Larry Carlton CD "Live in Tokyo". Robben is great on that album. He's on the right channel. Great solos...

Ford has one of the most original tones in gutiar. Love his attack and expression. He's exactly where I want my playing to be.. ahhhh many many more hours of practice.....

that's what is cool about guitar. Guys like this inspiring players to up their game. What draws me to his playing is that he has a signature style/tone. I don't want to cop that.. i want to use that idea and put the time in to develop my own. Guitar is such a great instrument. I'm 43 now and will play til the day I die.
Wow that was fucking hot....
robben is maybe my favorite...?
