Pretty impressive - now if he only played a decent brand of guitar....

[brentrocks]

prety cool

 

[fogman]

I've seen him before doing other songs.
Pretty cool.
Imagine what he could do with an EBMM!

 

[jaxadam]

That's actually a pretty rare Jem BFP. A lot of people freak out about those things everyday.

 

[Roubster]

Yea that is a really nice one people! It is my favourite JEM, and I dont even mind the maple board, and I dont generally like maple boards. Man, wouldnt that be great if EBMM made a guitar with some kind of nice designs similar to that. I can imagine a nice blue Silo with some cool floral inlays or like a forest or something. Anyway, just my imagination running wild thinking about non existant guitars.

 

[tommyindelaware]

NICE !!!!!!!
i especially like the percussive effect in his playing...

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Bob is a phenominal player, I have a few of his vids.... some of them are simply stunning.

I'll try to upload another one.

It's pretty cool, seems like he uses the technique that the guys from King Crimson use to play those frigging huge guitars

 

[cocobig]

If it is decent enough for Mr.Vai, it's decent more than enough for me.

 

[Spudmurphy]

Wow!!

That guy is amazing - hey is that a POD I see by the side of his ENGL?

 

[Warg Master]

YEah, Seen him before too... damn good player.

 

[EightmanVT]

Geez...unreal!! I could watch that stuff all day - fantastic stuff!!!

what? the Warr Guitar that Trey Gunn plays? those are pretty darn neat. I play Stick (when I haven't had to sell it to pay bills - um... or buy another Music Man...) and the Warr is so much more versitle. it's designed so you can strum or pluck it as well as the given precussive taping technique. if I ever decide I'm ok with you guys thinking I'm a tool (a tool who doesn't really play that well), I'll post a shamelessly self promoting link to my website. I started doing precussive and melodic tapping in highschool (god that seems like a long time ago) and it's done well by me since then.

and if you're going to get an Ibanez, the Jem really is the only one to get (imho... but the mirrored one they have now is kind of stupid.)

 

[phatduckk]

thats sweet!

pete thanks for the extra links

 

[shreder75]

there's nothing wrong with that jem =) they play pretty well actually

 

[Pktaske]

This guys good...sounds very "Keaggyish"...but Stanley Jordan is still the king...his right hand is amazing.

You'd be surprised how "approchable" ( I won't say easy!) this stuff is if you put a bit of time into it.

 

[jazzbo jim]

Frankly, I think it sucks







NOT!!

It's actually quite cool...kinda like a modern day Lenny Brea (with leather pants)

Thanks goodness we're all so different...it makes the music all the more exciting

gotta disagree, michael manring is the king of the two hand pianistic tapping universe. jordan's great - no doubt there, but manring uses larger, open chords... which is interesting because he has fewer stings to work with. after about an hour stanley jordan runs together for me and I can't tell one thing from another. check out preston reed to. he's right amazing.

 

[Pktaske]

check out preston reed to. he's right amazing.

I met him...very cool player but sometimes a bit over the top for my tastes...

How many of you guys use open tunings in your playing?

Maybe this is another thread tho :-O

Methinks so...
