This is why I love the net. Could watch this all day.
Thanks for checking it out Martyn! Glad you liked the vid!
Absolutely
@@BrettPapa Brett, I just want to share a thought and don't mean to be critical , cuz these videos are incredible, it just seems that when you so "yah" every time your guest says something it comes across like you're rushing them to finish. Just food for thought and thanks for doin what you do
Brett you are one of my favorite interviewers! Your curiosity and ability to let your guest fully explain the answers to your questions. This particular interview was so instructive and enlightening! Rob knows his stuff and lives up to everything he states. Great playing! Thanks Brett again!
Thanks John! Glad to hear you liked the vid! More with Rob coming soon!
AMEN.
Not so many people let people speak when they ask a question 🤙
I first discovered McNelley's guitar playing when he toured with, Delbert McClinton. Very smooth.
Yep for sure!
Delbert is awesome as his his latest record.
Thoroughly enjoyed this gents , cheers. Rob is a funny guy and has a kind face and knowledge he is happy to share .
Thanks for tuning in! Glad you liked the vid!
Your stratocaster is a jangle and twang machine! Its super underrated in that department and that's why i love that guitar
what a useful quantity and quality of information. also helps that both Rob and Brett are able to verbalize their knowledge. much appreciated.
Sure thing Richard! Glad you liked it!
Brett and Rob, you guys are fantastic! Really digging all the videos you’ve done together recently. We definitely need that Tele video next!
Thanks so much! I'll work on getting that Tele video done soon!
Love this one. Rob must know every cool lick known to man. Just fantastic control of great tone!
Such an amazing player and writer!
You should totally develop a course with Rob. Your one with Corey has been a huge help. Thanks Brett!
Working on that one! He is so busy as a session guy its hard to pin him down lol! Hopefully it will happen sometime this year.
WOW !!!!
The playing and quality tone !!!!
Such good tones! Rob is the master!
Love the immediate ax visual! SG - LP.
It's Mick Taylor & Keef Riffhard "Get Yer Ya Yas Out!" 💥 (Holy Grail)💥
Nice👍
Thanks for checking it out!
This is one of the best vids I have seen in a while. Just to weigh in on the Hendrix thing, he used Fenders absoluteley sometimes. The thing a lot of people get wrong though is his rhythm was usually buried in the mix for the most part, but everyone wants to play his rhythms super in your face.
Yeah, some people even let the guitars be heard in both speakers. Jimi would be so mad
Man what an amazing video! I never heard this guy before and i became a fan! Good one Papa! Cheera from Brasil!
Thanks Andre! Rob is amazing! Check out his channel and you can see him play live. Great stuff!
Everybody asks what’s new. Rob proves better questions are what’s great and how do I use it! Awesome session.
Really would love more videos based around getting tones with the session cats. Great stuff, Brett.
Will do! More like that on the way!
Rob is great. Thanks for bringing this to us Brett.
This could be the best video ... ever.
Haha thanks Murray! Glad you liked it. Hopefully some more coming soon!
Man I’m nerding out on this hard! Such detail and nuance about guitar / amp sound variations. Super cool. I own a 65 deluxe reverb (was my dads) and I need to get that baby up and running.
Yes you do! I have definitely considered picking one up since after shooting this video!
Hey guy thanks. I'm learning and getting tips and tricks from you guys. Thanks
Awesome John! Thanks for tuning in!
Absolutely brilliant video. What a player! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and tips 👌
Thanks for checking out the vid!
Hes my favorite of all the Nashville session guys, guitars just sound good off his fingers...
For sure! Rob has always been one of my favorites too! Oozes soul!
I really enjoyed the video can't wait for the next one
Thanks Troy!
Sweet Gibsons!!! Wow
I know he has got so much awesome stuff!
Great show! That gold top sounded sick

Man, I enjoy this stuff.
Thanks for checking it out!
Awesome display of tonal bliss ! Damn straight guys 😎👍
Thanks for tuning in!
my 3 takeaways from this are 1. Rob is a stellar player, 2. I need a gold top, 3. definitely going to play around with my echoplex today and try to recreate some of those sounds. thank you!
Yes to all 3 of those! Have fun!
@@BrettPapa I ordered the gold top yesterday. I didn't hold out too long. thanks again.
Great 80 minutes! Thank you guys!
Thanks Oliver! Glad you like the vid!
Awesome.... I didn’t want this to end! 🔥🤙🏻
Thanks Steve! Hopefully we can get Rob back over here soon!
Absolutely brilliant episode . Pls PLs Pls do a vid on the right hand technique !
Great idea Jon! Glad you liked the video!
My new favorite thing to watch/listen to. Rockin!!
More coming soon! Thanks for watching!
Talking about how hard SRV played, he DID play extremely hard, but he used the round side of a pick. You can really hit a guitar hard without it sounding like it if you use the round side of the pick.
Rob is another great. Thanks a million Brett
Sure thing Frankie! More Rob coming soon!
That was just awesome ..every second of it ..loved it ..thank you .
Glad you liked it! Always great to have Rob in the house!
Great lesson !! Rob your hired! Love the way you play!
Rob is the man!
That was a whole bunch of awesome for sure, teles yes.
Thanks for watching!
New sub here Brett. Because of your demo of the Wampler tumnus Deluxe, I ended up purchasing that pedal.
Awesome man! Thanks for the sub!
Brett This is great stuff. Thank you and Rob for doing this.
Glad to hear you liked it Brian! Thanks for watching!
Brett can only drool as did I with every crazy amazing sounding lick after another....😮❤
Yeah Rob os the man. One of the greatest players I have ever worked with.
@@BrettPapa well shout to your sincere enthusiasm made me get into it even more 👍 and yeah what an inspiration seeing Rob play.
More Rob!!!
I'm working on that haha!
What an awesome video! What a musician! Thanks Brett Papa!!!
Thanks! Hopefully we can get Rob back soon!
Mike Campbell played through a princeton most of the time, even in concert he would mic it.
Yep and it sounded great!
Thanks Brett! You nailed it - a Killer-Guitar-Tone-video!
Thanks Bob! Glad you liked it!
I reckon Rob looks like Bill Burr.
Oh yea, and he totally rocks. Thanks for sharing this one lads! 🎸🤘
I think he gets that a lot. Rob is super funny as well. And yes he rocks big time!
I just have to keep replaying from 1:13:00 on with that SG and Marshall. That’s the sound and Rob really rips.
Fore sure. I wish you all could see the behind the scenes stuff. His is terrifying!
Teles RAWK. 'n'ROLL.....what a good conversation u have with these folks, good questions that don't suck AND u let THEM talk.... wicked good stuff. thnx, EH! frm Vancouver islnd, .ca ;0) M
Thanks Malcolm! Glad you like the vids!
Fuuuuu...that is non-stop amazing tone!
Yep Rob always has killer tone! A ton of it is in his hands!
I read somewhere that Hendrix used a Dual Showman on that long VooDoo Child jam.
Line6 Spider Insane Mode has entered the chat
Sounds great!
Dear Bratt, love your channel and your work! Greetings from Austria! 👍🌈♥️
Thanks Hermann! Thanks for watching!
Watching this after spending the last 4 hours trying to connect a used saffire 6 interface to my computer and man this intro to his gear just rubbed salt in my wound all lol.
Lol
Ahah and the Seger story comes out playing on gems like those guitars. Sounds fun!
Love it!!!!
Thanks Roman! Glad you liked it!
U guys offer some good stuff.thank you!
Thanks John!
57:31 I was listening to this in the car with my kid (she’s nine and hilarious) and we both went “Heh heh. BUTTS.” 😂
Lol
17:22 "It was a lot like what we do today still, just in a more primitive time.." ROFL..
Is it me , but I have to have a 5 way switch on a strat for the neck & bridge combos .
Yeah all of those options are nice
I really enjoyed this one.
Thanks for checking it out Billy!
Man I want a Les Paul so bad but don't want to drop the cash. They sound so awesome like you can play them all day without even realizing it.
For sure! I feel the same way lol!
you can play them all day but only if you're sitting down. they are a bit heavy. still worth owning for sure.
Don't forget that most of what you hear on Zeppelin albums is a Silvertone amp.
Page - Often what’s assumed to be a Les Paul is a tele through a Supro amp.
Rob you're awesome!
Rob is the man!!
I use an eminance cv 75 in my drluxe reverb reissue . That said I have moded the circuit some . And it really tamed those schrill highs the reissue was problematic for.
Sick tones lots of $$$ in that room. Is all of this half step down? Just curious 🤘🏻
Standard 440
Haha for sure! No I think it was all in standard.
Fantastic episode! id love to hear you play together sometime!
Thank ya sir! I am sure that will happen sometime in the future.
Awesome episode guys. Just wish he would have gone into a little more advice for playing live. Great stuff none the less. 👍🏼
Thanks Edward!
Holly ice pick 😳
There's a movie on Netflix about how Chess records started and found Muddy Waters and Little Walter...Howlin Wolf was on there too...I think its called Cadillac Records
Awesome I'll have to check it out.
Again Im a bit late to the party, but again, this is sooo great. You two guys are just amazing together. And offcourse I hate Rob, he makes me feel really bad with his amazing tone, wonderful guitars, great amps, musical playing, who cares………… Bring him back please, this does not suck at all :-)
Lol! Yeah I plan on getting him back in soon!
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing all the info and playing. Amazing. Question: are the amps in the other room playing through the monitor speakers?
Thanks! They are being recorded in the other room and running through ProTools into my portable recorder. What you are hearing is the track in ProTools.
Thanks so much! I probably should have asked a slightly different question... are you hearing it through the amps in the other room or through pro tools or of the monitors behind you guys? What do you hear there? Thank you so much.
This is Amazing ! Unbelievable I wish I had the cash to get some of those toys!
Me too! So much great gear.
I wish I had back my 67 Gibson Flying V!! Only worth about 15k now!
I bet!
Only 105 comments...Why? Cuz we're speechless!
Lol! Thanks Bud!
The guy just seems so cool.
He is! Total stand up dude! Very humble as well.
I always play with the rounded side,& also did Stevie Ray Vaughan,,, he played with the rounded side, Ted Nugent plays with the rounded side,,, list goes on,there's different angles u can hold a pick to achieve a certain sound...but that's me,,,. Signed a Detroit guitarist for 55 + years. Rounded side please,& get that Right Hand movin'!
Yeah that is a great trick. Tons of guys here in town play that way too.
DO ONE OF THESE KIND OF VIDEOS WITH BRAD PAISLEY!!
Haha! Met him the other day. Maybe if I see him again I'll ask. He doesn't live too far from me.
@@BrettPapa oh man!!! Fingers crossed for sure!!! Brad’s a monster player! Early 2000’s they called him EVH on cornbread! He’s beast!
did you know what's the studio monitor behind you ?
Awesome, you cats rock!
Thank ya sir!
Please do a Tele episode with Rob!!
Will do!
Awesome tones! What are the eq settings on the Marshall?
Wish i could tell you specifically, With Marshalls, I don't look when I twist the knobs... I turn them until they sound right. I never know where the marshall tone knobs are set.... wish i was more helpful, but try that approach sometime. Play a chord and while its ringing out, make the adjustments. You'll be surprised what you end up with...
Not sure. I'll do more on that next time.
Which pick does he use please ?
I wanna be a geek too.... can I hang out with you weirdos? More? Please?
Sure!
Being Out Of Tune Builds Character :-)
How do you guys feel about music man amps I'm talking about the older ones.
Some of them sound great!
@@BrettPapa I have an HD 130 that I use from time to time I've carried it all over the country. After all these yrs I suddenly realized it could double as a bass amp. I've also used an HD 150 but I wasnt really impressed by it. That said I did need it for a show we did outside Cincinatti Ohio at Edge water raceway . The show was put on by the American Federation of Riders. There were over 25,000 people at that show. All the money collected was donated to different orphaniges around the Cincinatti area. Lots of cool memories and some cool stories I might share later.
1:02:44
1:17:06 fuzz!
Yep and its a good one too!
I have an EP3 echoplex....do you recommend someone to work on it?
Not unless its broken or needs it.
were the overdrive pedals after the echoplex?
No
Thats how I set my DOD analog delay.
Awesome!
I heard that Hendrix used a potato with cheese for his lead sound. He could use anything.
Salami, too.
Lol!
I am Trying to Figure out why there isn't a Camera Angle with some Footage on his Pedalboard. Anyone?
Only had two that day. Ive shot other videos with Rob where it shows that same board. Just search his name on my main channel page.
Did Rob break his pinky on left hand?
I don't think so.
Anyone know what strings Rob uses?
I think just regular 10-46 on most stuff. I know a couple of them had 11's on there though.
Please say yeah more
Yeah!
@@BrettPapa 🤣🤣🤣
What pickups are in the Rick N. LP?
Not sure
Albert Collins did not tune to standard tuning, tell the man with the hat. My friend was Albert Collins second guitarist for 4 years back in the 80s.
My friend with the hat "Rob" knows that and he has actually played and recorded with many of the blues greats. Rob is one of the most recorded and suggested studio and live guitar players in the world right now and has been for a long time. He's just a very humble and mellow dude and would never tell anyone what he does lol!
