  1. my god…i forgot to breathe hearing this music…….

  2. How does he play the harmonic sound with only one finger at about 2.40 ?

  3. It’s the new Cowboy Bebop theme! =D

    Oh man, your sticks sounds so great, and that is some fantastic playing.

  4. @ GreyFoXx01

    Bob explains the harmonic sound on another video (here on YouTube I think) It’s a one hand/two finger trick… pinky touch’s string at harmonic point but does not press string into fret and the index finger hammer’s the actual note.

  5. 2:38 :O

  6. 2:38

  7. Sweeeet! This guy is AWASOME!!!

  8. tapped harmonics. You can do them on normal guitar as well. You lightly tap directly over a fret, but not so hard that you hit the fret.

  9. I was impressed until I realized that you must be autistic to be able to play that thing.

  10. Hey when did you become such a prick?

  11. If you knew more about Autism Rob you would not be replying like you have, please have some respect for the player and me.

  12. Wow – fantastic tones dude!!

  13. this is my favourite instrument….star class performance.

  14. He plays beautiful music, what all did you do? type out a few keystrokes? Next time offer something constructive or don’t post. ‘Nuff said

  15. You don’t have to be autistic…it’s called hard work and dedication to an instrument. How do you know whether he has autism or not?

  16. I can’t wrap my head around it. Very cool.

  17. Beautiful. That’s all I can say.

  18. I know no way of giving u the praise you deserve…big fan since i saw ur lil wing cover 1st time( of many more)

  19. Anyone knows from what planet this guy is? Awesome!

  20. Man, that was great!

  21. he is from planet Awesome!!!

  22. very nice. At times it reminded me of Stanley Jordan, (for obvious reasons).

  23. what is he putting on his legs so he can play the stick sitting down without a strap????

  24. Sweet Jesus. How do you even get good at something like this??

  25. Bob,
    I love the bends and the soulful playing. It’s very reminiscient of Hiram Bullock’s guitar work on Bob James’ “Angela”. Play that thang!
