    I love that there is a whole new and seemingly very passionate audience for guitar stuff in China, its brilliant to see. And well done for that clinic, speaking via a translator can't be easy.

      Man it was sooo hard, it made me realise how much I use humour in my clinics normally… trying to get it to translate was hardcore

    2006, I was in Black Dragon Province, about 50km from the border with Russia. I didn't find a single person who spoke English. Walking down the street, I was a Rockstar.
    Rob, I really like how you are making a real effort to speak Chinese. That means so much to the locals and shows that you are not the typical visitor to China. I can understand the words you are using, and you are using them properly.

    This is awesome. So cool to see people so genuinely excited about guitar.
    I feel like so many people are so jaded and nonplussed these days. Maybe it's social media? The state of the world? IDK. We gotta all reconnect with this kind of vibe.

    You were in the zone big time. I don't know what it was your tone was impeccable. And you were playing a little bit simpler than you normally do? It was either the recording or your tone in the room or a combination of both but you sounded absolutely amazing!!!!🔥 You usually sound pretty good I mean really good, This was different You were in the zone man and I noticed your pentatonic scales were very simple but yet intense! I really enjoyed this one Rob Maybe you need to go out of your element a little bit to bring out your best playing!!!!!✌️🎃 Btw the new Noble seems to be very modern. I'm sure it sounds the same but with just a few more tweaks that you can do for the modern player! Can't wait to test drive one!💣

    If you like the Nobles OD1, check out the Keeley Nobles Screamer. It's a Nobles OD1 on one side with a tube screamer on the other side. You can pick which EQ section you want to pair with which drive section, or stack them together, or........
    I have one of each on my board. Love that OD1.

    Come over to Suzhou, Venice of the east. When in China you need to go here. I’m not a tourist thingy thingy. I’m just a guy with a couple of guitars. 22 years in China soon. Let’s have a beer. If I could contact you directly, I would. Got WeChat?
