  That remark at the end: "The story of my life". That's exactly why I love Robben's playing. In blues, he sounds like he's playing Jazz. In Jazz, it sounds like he's playing the blues. That mix ... don't ever change that.

  Robben is vastly underrated by those that think guitar is all about the shredding. For those of us that try and play with a bit more nuance and feel, he is World Class and a true treasure!

  How to make a pentatonic scale sound like the best thing ever. Seriously, it goes to show what you can do if you slow things down and be a bit mindful about your playing.

  Around <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVeTJJSVIEc&amp;t=312">5:12</a> he mentions how he announces the A chord/note when the rhythm goes to the 4. Anyone learning or studying blues guitar should take note of that!

  This guy is totally brilliant. He just has the knack of taking something quite simple and turning it into something really beautiful and interesting. It’s like therapy for the ear.

  These hands man. Every guitar he touches has got the best tone, the Ford tone…he makes that LP sound like a Tele.

  So modest for a player of his extreme talent

  The way he explains shows tons of knowledge but the way he speaks - oh man he feels sooo humble and a nice person. There are tons of music teachers but you just want to learn and listen from Mr Ford only.
