Lingus (Snarky Puppy) 11-stringed guitar rendition by Robert Ritchiesse

- Yes, the guitar has a low volume when the backtrack volume goes "wild"/loud - this is just a "raw" video shooting
- but I played my grand-guitar with heart.
Yes, my playing in this video is far from perfect
- but I played my grand-guitar with heart.
I’m playing along this wonderful tune for FUN … but also to learn, and furthermore, to make out my own stuff from it - and I play my guitar with heart. * Hahaha *
My purpose with this video is to hopefully inspire others to keep on - or starting - to work with Allan Holdsworth’s music, with your own unique heart, minds and hands. It is certainly not impossible to play Allan’s music, only impossible to play like(!) Allan … thank God.
But why not playing other’s music as well, with the Holdsworthian "school" approach in your playing … and in your own way? (Can there be no other way? No!)
My point is: keep Allan’s music and also that guitar "school" alive, as a living art form: use his music and that "school" as "canvas and brushes" and start to "paint" what comes from your(!) soul.
Some "rough" details about my sound arr.:
The opening chords arr.:
I’m using a pitch +5 from the 1:st Digitech 2101.
A pitch +12 from the second Digitech 2101.
A pitch +24 from the third Digitech 2101
The "dark" chords arr.:
I’m using a pitch + - 0 from the 1:st Digitech 2101, slightly detuned.
A pitch +12 from the second Digitech 2101.
A pitch +24 from the third Digitech 2101
These "soft chords", right before the solo:
A pitch -5 from the first Digtech 2101.
A pitch +12 from the second Digitech 2101.
A pitch +24 from the third Digitech 2101
Of course there are many many more effects and settings involved. But it would be a ’book’ to explain/describe it all.
The gear in my guitar rigg is as follows:
- Yamaha MGP16X mixer board
- Yamaha full range-speakers, active DXR12 x 2
- Digitech 2101 GSP Studio Tube x 6
- Klark Teknik EQ x 2
- BBE 882 Sonic Maximizer x 6
- CLE 8.0 x 2
- Palmer Triage Amp Selector x 2
- Allan Holdsworth Overdrive Boost
- Strymon Big Sky reverb
- Electro-Harmonix Synth 9 x 2
- Korg XVP 20
- Control One x 2
The 11-stringed guitar in the video is my "main ax" since almost 20 years. That guitar was made by luthiers on my commission and from my performance requirement. The tuning system, from "top to bottom" followed by string dimensions: g 0,007, d 0,010, bb 0,013, f 0,018w, C 0,026, G 0,036, D 0,046, G 0,060, Eb 0,074, D 0,074, C 0,074.
Cory Henry is an absolute BEAST and you did a magnificent job of capturing the essence of his solo in this performance. Highly enjoyable!
Oh man the solo. I really wanna see more covers and compositions like this. So good! 💚🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks, man - really =)

@@robertritchiesse Yes definitely. I have been checking them out. I originally heard your Fragmentism project after discovering you in a metal band. I don't remember what it was called. I have been checking them out. Really awesome works!
Beautiful!!

Definitely lots of heart in that performance. Thanks for sharing!
No need to watch to give it a thumbs up. Oh I did watch and I will watch again. One of fav tunes of all time. Nailed it dude.
you truly are amazing Robert
Way freakin cool man! Excellent!
Groovy as always. 👌🎸😎
Wow! Mind blown... Incredible work, Robert!
Super interesting and wonderful performance! Keep the hard work up!🖖🤘
This is awesome Rob! You should definitely see if you can get a collab sorted out with Snarky Puppy...
Creía que había visto todo lo complejo de la guitarra, por diferentes "Monsters" del instrumento, pero Robert Ritchiesse con esa "MetaGuitar", me ha dejado alucinado!!!! Genio, Visionario, Virtuoso, es lo mínimo que se le puede llamar. Él juega en otra liga(...), en una esfera muy alta!!! Sigue así amigo Robert!!!!
Thanks, Jorge - for real. =) … I think you might like my next album. Musicians on it: Morgan Ågren (drums) and Steve Hunt (keyboard, piano and prepared piano). Release, in the fall next year. I’ll release a studio video teaser about it, here, on UA-cam, in the spring.
Thanks again!
Robert
@@robertritchiesse. Muchas gracias Estimado Robert. Casi seguro que me va a gustar, por tú forma de tocar, y los extraordinarios músicos con los que vas ha grabar. Conozco mucho a Steve Hunt(...), y algo menos Morgan Ágren, pero toda la música de éste gran trío será bella y potente!! El vídeo lo veré seguro, y TÚ cómpac-Disc(CD), pues lo compraré. Sigue tú extraordinario trabajo Amigo. Mi facebook es, mi nombre en Catalán:"Jordi Joan Fernán Tordera". Alicante-España.
Thanks, man. =) In fact, it’s a quartet: my twin brother Kai Ritchiesse on bass and saxophones, Steve, Morgan and I. So for, there will be release only on Spotify, Band Camp, Deezer, Tidal etc. Discussions is going on with a label about release it on vinyl; double album. I’ working on it... =)
Holy cow! So badass!
OMG! This s insane!
Coreys solo!! Nice
This is amazing.
Thanks, man - really =)

Fantastic
;◎)
Dude!!!!!
Fucking fantastic!!!!
W E T CHORDS OMG 😲
You should've record it
Thanks, but ,,,, Naaaa. I don‘t put "too much" effort in "just for fun"-projects. I put more efforts in my solo albums instead. Maybe you’ll like my latest one - Defragmentism Project - with the line up Steve Hunt (keyboard and piano), Morgan Ågren (drums), Mattias IA Eklundh (guitar) and my brother Kai (bass and saxophones).

What in the kentucky fried fuck did i just witness??
Always impressed by your dedication to learning new material. Really killed the keyboard solos! Question for you: How long does it take you to memorize a project like this? Do you read music notation (on sight or with practice) or just chord charts generally? PS: love your chord substitutions under the trumpet and sax solos.
Thanks, man =) … In this case, it took me about two weeks to listen and write down the lines on tabs, make my own Holdsworthian-school version of the chords - and my 11-stringed ax version of the chords as well. And it took me about three months of practice it all. (I practiced a lot ot other stuff as well; I can’t put everything else on "hold", because of this tune.)
Robert Ritchiesse
Time well spent! Your execution is awesome, as always!
Thanks, William. Yeah, I think it all was worth it: I have learned a LOT, a lot of impressions of how I could develop my own playing from this "learn and forget"-project …
@@robertritchiesse I've heard you talk in the past of moving on from music when the time comes, or feeling like you can leave it behind if you so choose like you did a couple of years ago ( a long break). What i wonder is, how does someone commit so much time and energy to achieving your level of proficiency, learn new material constantly yet still feel that music can come and go. I've been playing professionally for 15+ years, and have trouble always keeping momentum forward, and i really admire your output on and dedication to your material.
PS Thanks for your answer if you get around to it, big fan!
Thanks, man! Well, in this case, it took me 1 week to analyse it all and put in on paper (11-stringed tab). Then, it took me appr. 2 months to practice it without tabs, just play - and learn a lot during the process. To me, that’s the whole point; to learn.
Ok...,ok....ok, ... yeah,... got it, ok,... thatb too nice chord,... good, yeah ok.... wait - you lost me......! No worries it's me
Haha .... :P
