    Soo much respect: talent? Yeah, a lot of people have that... but Robben seems approachable, nice and thoughtful as he is talented, and THOSE things in combination and in seemingly equal measure is RARE, and makes me respect him immensely as not only a musician but equally importantly (at least to me) AS A HUMAN BEING.

    Folks this guy is the best we will ever see in our lifetime. A true treasure for all us amateurs. I spent my life emulating EVH, SRV, John Mayer among many others but Robben is from another place musically . If you’re just starting out, PLEASE pay attention to him. Can’t go without mentioning Eric Johnson as well. Phenomenal. Jerry Reed, Danny Gatton and Roy Buchannon are pretty good too lol!!!!! If you’re young ( I’m 50) please go back and let these guys show you how it’s done, then the most important point is to develop YOUR own style. Stand out for goodness sake.

    I've always played a game called: Stay In Key - where I will pick a key and play notes up and down the neck, not caring about making "statements" with the notes or playing licks - just playing notes and staying in key. I started doing that when I was 19 (played since I was 12) and I'm still doing at at the age of 64. Great way to warm up and I've created some new songs and riffs by doing that. And some of my "mistakes" wound up being some of my best compositions.
