Always loved this, but only when I tried to cover it I really appreciated the genius of Robben's playing here. Getting close to that feel and touch is almost impossible!

I’ve noticed with Robben Ford it’s all about the melody. He doesn’t care about showing off or impressing with his chops. He wants you to hum along.

By far my favorite phase of Robben’s career. And I know he’s played many guitars before and since but the Fender custom shop signature model is when he really trademarked his sound. Love this song and ‘Help the Poor’ from the Talk to your Daughter album

Louie - I bought that same model guitar. I literally played 72 Stratocasters, the guitar I thought I wanted, before I found a new copy of the Master Series hanging in Brown’s Music Store in Omaha. The moment I started playing it (through a Twin Reverb), I discovered the sound, the feel, the look, the neck that had eluded me for the two years that I’d been hunting for my forever instrument. I bought it in September 1986 and we still have it in the family AND it still plays like a dream.

Totally agree Louie. This is the best era for me that he plays the Fender signature model… sounds like this guitar was able to pull out his infinite amount of imagination.

@@hiro54st I bought one of those guitars when I found it hanging new in Brown’s Music in Omaha. Two years ago, I gave it to my oldest son as a keepsake. I don’t know if Robben’s Fenders enhanced his playing. I can tell you that mine enhance and inspired my playing. No guitar, before or since, has sounded as good as it still does. And only my Jackson Soloist is as amazing to play; for speed and versatility, only the Jackson has come close.

@@BBQ1953 Robben actually said that the guitar had some problems on mid or treble or something how it sounded like… so he is happier now I guess.. but yeah he doesn’t even need the dumble to get his tone. and interesting thing is that the thing he thinks is good and the thing we think for him is good always different… Anyway I am curious about your jackson and if I were your oldest son…. I would be the luckiest man…

@@hiro54st The Jackson is a great guitar. The neck is perfection; radius is phenomenal; the action is faster than any other guitar that I’ve owned (over two dozen in my life). The body is comfortable and a little lighter than any of my Fenders or my G&L S-500. The humbuckers are hot, even, and have great sustain. It’s supposed to be a shredder’s axe but I’ve been able to get some really warm and even Jazzy sounds out of it through my Fender amps. It’ll never be a Strat. It’ll never be a 335. But it’ll spank a Les Paul with ease.

I have a Robben Ford signature model. I don't understand why I can't play like that LOL!. They were and are great guitars. Kind of rare because they didn't make or sell a whole bunch That perticular one he's playing here is one of the Made in Japan Fujigen Gakki models Somewhere between a Les Paul and an ES335. A VERY versitile guitar. Mine will never be sold.

And, who in the past, before them, sounded anything at all like them??? Case closed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@coffinman5007 Stanley Jordan was an innovator a great player for sure, but repetition, and he WAS repetitious, with his right hand technique, which was cool to listen to, but not 60-70% of the time!!! Many other guitarists using the right hand technique become very boring to listen to! A Facty 4 U! Steve Lukather LOVES Larry and Robben both! He actually played (keyboards!) on Larry Carlton's album(s). Steve calls Larry his ~guitar sensei~!!! Lee Ritenour played on an album with Larry called: "Larry and Lee"! Lee has admitted on several occasions that Larry influenced him, and acknowledged the uniqueness that is "the Larry Carlton sound"!!! I've studied Larry's style for over 40 years, and emulate his emotional playing ( goose bumps!) and at jazz or blues clubs people ALWAYS comment on how special/emotional my playing is, to which I ALWAYS tell them about Carlton and Ford, and proud to give them the credit! If you're not a serious guitar player, you won't understand why I give them such high regard. If you knew how difficult their styles actually are,,, the string bends, their unique melodic lead lines, and expert sense of harmony, vibrato style(s), etc.... ! Larry's more than ~100 GOLD RECORDS~ especially his work with, Steely Dan, the Crusaders, Joni Mitchell, Michael Franks, Stanley Clarke, John Lennon, and hundreds more artists!

This live version is so much better than the studio version from "Talk To Your Daughter," where he really struggles to get through the solo. He seems to have really figured out how to approach the song and it's a lovely, subtly nuanced rendition, really nice. I have to add that he looks great, so young and handsome, and although this is an instrumental, Robben Ford is one of the great singers for which he gets no credit.
