Yeah!!!!

And how!!! 🌞♥️😎😄😙. Great stuff! Mezmerizing ... 💫 He's orbiting the earth, 🌍🌎🌏 ... 🚀 and other planets, too.
👏👏👏. A jolly good show!
🤘🎸
That is just beautiful 😃
This man clearly possesses immense talent and versatility that those people walking by don't stop to appreciate
He probably chose to play on a week day and not the weekend and nobody had the free time to stop .
Amazing how few people realize how blessed they would be to just sit and listen and watch this great artist...he has a three-hour Metheny jam that is also incredible...
I am a automotive painter, on a custom job a person has To be inside the booth for two to three hours sometimes, this jam of yours helps me concentrate, well done sir!
That is awesome!
The irony is in the detail: shatnershairpiece says above that "No one cared, but it doesn't matter" (I dispute both points but more on that another time) while over across the street on a sign above a construction frontage states proudly "WEWORK". Really, it's the guitar player. He's doing the work. Lots of it. Soul work. In fact he has to work very extra hard for the souls of the shallow sorts that didn't seem to notice. Much. Keep playing Mister shatnershairpiece: your soul is intact.
thanks for the nice comments. but here’s another reality check. I have had the yellow vested bylaw drones actually tell me to get a job at Starbucks. When I told them that I was contributing to art and culture for the city, they would say “In your opinion.” should I post that video?
@@shatnershairpiece Yup. Put it up and call them out on their arrogance. Most people aren't very good at anything and haven't pushed themselves to even try. They have no concept on how hard it really is to do so and everything that must be sacrificed along the way to survive on one's own creations. They have already got their "job at Starbucks" and have settled with that albeit begrudgingly. Their task then becomes to reduce the world to their level of misery. You're fighting an uphill battle against insurmountable odds. It's heroic and those of us involved in the "fight" see your courage. I watch the videos for that as much as the music.

friend, you got this, you know music
A master piece. Hard to watch people passing by and ignoring his music. Despite the hour+, I cannot get enough. To tell the truth, This is not America is my favorite song of all time.
You are a guitar God. The people walking past you with no interest much less a tribute...they are truly brain dead zombies. You are an awesome guitar player. Thank you for bringing happiness to my world
This gentleman’s guitar solo is very relaxing and hypnotic. Great skills.
Yep, not enough folks were hypnotized..I'm hyp to it..though.
I just listened to your entire jam while studying. Love your music. Please don't stop making this kind of music no matter what people tell you
It begs the question This not America ? beautifully .
We do care, at least some of us do. Thank you sir for what you do.
i love the meloncholy aura of this tune- you are glad your leaving this world for another. you nailed it. do more Metheny!!
It amazes me that people just walk by without stopping to listen to this. I'd spend all day just chillin' and groovin' to this stuff...
A few kids on skooters convinced their mom to stop so they could check him out for a bit 2:48
He makes a cool guitar hero .
It's really hard to see a street guitarist who plays Pat's pieces on UA-cam. So I really enjoyed this musician's long performance of one of my favorite Pat's pieces. In spite of almost 1 hour and half version of 'Chris(This is not America)', it's not boring at all. Sometimes I've dreamed of somebody playing a long version of 'Chris' because this music is so touching and beautiful that only a few minute-playing of this song is not good enough to appreciate and feel the greatness of this jazz masterpiece. Thank you so much for your sincere effort and soul for music.
sangwhi lee thanks very much for your comment. I’m glad someone appreciates it as most people on the street are too busy looking at their phones. I always try to play obscure jams on the street, that I enjoy myself, otherwise it can get really boring. Getting into the zone on extended improv is the number one objective for me as a musician. Please check out my music site at thesixmilliondollarguitar.bandcamp.com. You can access all my studio recordings.
@@shatnershairpiece Is that a Parker Fly you are playing?
@@spector3936 it is a Parker; he has a whole video where he tells the story of how he wound up with it.
I wanted to comment on this "little piece of you and a little piece of me" music. No need for that, you've already done it for me ❣❣👍🖐 🎸
You mean David Bowie's piece.
How can you not appreciate this? Unbelievable.....It's a good thing that I don't live near where he plays because I would be spending a lot of time on the street.
Only 800 Views This Is A SHAME.....You Deserve Much More My Friend.

Thank You! This is BEYOND EPIC. True artist. Jam on...
Glad you enjoyed it
Robin, you do more for us than you probably know. Shame that I can only give one thumbs up for this jam.
Robin Who ?
He appreciates the occasional banana... but prefers monetary gratitude.
dude, I can listen to your jams all night, you fkn rock
Listening to this I am envisioning being on my motorcycle on a long high speed road through the mountains and countryside just digging the sensory input and the motion through space and time...
Absolutely amazing.
I'm now buying shatnershairpiece music. You've all said it in your comments--he's epic. May I gently ask you not to dis the people that walk by - we don't know their stories.
Hell yeah, if I can run into this guy playing downtown, I'll probably cry listening to him, he's that good, gracious, authentic, talented, crazy player. Just buy his music guys!!!!
They're not bad people for walking by, but how many of them have lost sight of appreciating art and talent right in front of them, and are either absorbed in their phones or rushing to get somewhere that isn't as important as they believe? There are places where people stop and listen to street musicians, and even sing and dance. It looks like Vancouver isn't one of those places.
Lol, no you may not ask. "Dissing" people who pass by is all part of the whole entertainment package. In fact, those who read these comments might feel as if we don't like them if we don't.
@@mitchellbaxter6314
Actually they ARE bad people for walking by. The good ones stop and leave a gratuity.
@@20alphabet How much did you donate?
@@mitchellbaxter6314
Uh... like most commenting, I'm not among those walking by. But if I was near his vicinity, I'd not hesitate to stop and leave a legal tender "thanks". How 'bout you?
He plays brilliantly, his whole sound system set-up. It bothers me that others do not seem to notice this and enjoy it. There are places in the U.S. and Europe where people would love this. (This seems wasted on these people.) 😕. 🤸♀️🌜🌠🧚♀️🎸🎶. But, I'm lovin' it! I feel transfixed ... and this is not my usual kind of music.
I agree.
This is how I wake each day - Metheny/ Bowie. My hair is longer than when I was a teen, my gut seems swollen and yet i feel alive. Ready to challenge the gods of mediocrity! I hope you still play everyday! Thank You for the quality work!
The sad part is that a large part of their lives, the drones, is that it is all they have.
Your work is beautiful.
If they are not successful in moving you on, then that should tell them that they are actually in the wrong, and then they should apologise.
You bring calm and joy to even those that walk by.
I bet most of them tell others that they saw you.
Your work is enduring. And will live on through this UA-cam/ internet.
There should be tables and chairs and coffee near buy. Italian street style.
Love your work.
I'm afraid if I were walking by I'd have to pause and get into that jam like I did here, at least for a while. You deserve recognition and more tips for your playing ! Thanks from America.
An extraordinary interpretation, which takes you away .....
Absolutely loving this. Thanks for the tranquil music.
Thanks. You can also download it from the bandcamp link in description. Wait until you hear my latest version I did of this on the street. Epic!
Mesmerizing - well done. The girl who dropped off some coins at about 8:16 was moved by your playing - you could see it in her face.
Thank you for this beautiful arrangement.
Pure soul candy, Robin you play with so much soul you blow me away!
Found this after your 2 hour rendition... Amazing and brilliant! Thank you! After the violence in Allen TX... Today. This cannot be America..... 😢
Nice to see that you are still at it. One of my favorite Bowie tunes. Nice version.
Dear Robin, You forgot to bring your Falcon and Snowman with you! I personally am a great fan of the Pat/Lyle Metheny/Mays Group, so I could listen to this endlessly. Let's also not forget the great music defining late David Bowie! As always Robin you have conjured up another pleasant improvisation. I saw your video about your brain aneurysm last year! My father was less lucky and died of a severe aneurysm; hope your health is still improving everyday. Best wishes and thanks, Jan-W
thanks! coming up on the one-year anniversary of my second life so now I’m going to be celebrating two birthdays per year. sorry to hear about your father. my own doctor tells me he only knows of two people that survived a brain aneurysm. this is the main reason I continue to record and play music every single day. I feel like I’m living on borrowed time so there is no time to waste anymore.
I like words, and i can not describe in however may adjectives I use, how stupendous, your music is Robin, just a massive thanks, for your amazing playing. you send shivers not only down my spine but arms too. I love your playing x
Wow, thank you!
you got me where i was going again, whew
This is beautiful. Thank you.
Wow you can surely make that guitar sing love it
So true .
I care - play on, I love it.
Super...I love playing this in the background as I do long tasks. Great song and great improv by you.
Thanks a lot!
cannot go a day without listening
Dude, I can see and feel the celestial melody in the quantum latency of the cosmochronic continuim. I danced all evening with this masterpiece. Way fun and hope your healing OK.
You are incredible.... Loved this song. Took me to heaven and back. Thanku so much
His music takes us on a journey. (Where is he playing? People just breeze by him so quickly, this seems unreal. The business front sign is in English, but not America?) He is a fabulous guitarist! 🎸🎶. I'm in love with his music, ... and more so, each time I hear this again. I enjoy his journey ... His music takes him there, whether others, at that location, get on for the ride, or not. There will be thousands of us on UA-cam enjoying his 🌈 🚍 bus ride at the Station. How befitting! I'm pleased, as pie, and 'happy' that he posted this. I would not want to miss his ride. He's a very talented, creative guy, ... so soulful!
Based on the green street names and yellow stoplights he's somewhere in America
@@diversitydeliverer7094 He is in Vancouver, Bristish Columbia, Canada. Much loved, still not recognized enough. If you enjoy his music, he's on Bandcamp. I am a yet wagemaker, and add better to my sound collection through artists like this man. Regret Toronto is too callous to support such greatness.
A"paw'logies, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Beautiful
This ones from SATx area 🤷♂️
Magnificent work. It's not just the music, and the notes and chords, there's a story in the air. A pleasant and enjoyable earful. Amen
Congratulations! You mentioned the secret word, AIR, wherein lies the TERRORIST which cannot be distinguished by the senses and upon which the FASCIST OLIGARCHY will spin out ever more restrictive "EMERGENCY" PROTOCOLS. IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, LUKE...
These people are all ready to be transported....to the unappreciative planet....ha!
Yeah, he is very good, I support him 100%. :)
you literally have no idea what you're talking about boomer
Awesome
The Absolute sweetness for da masses! Bravo!!
Great Music! You create a free-flowing world of musicality that floats above the ordinariness of that Vancouver Street. Keep the magic going Robin. No worries that the passers-by don’t get it- those of us around the world who pick you up do and we love it!
Will always remember the first time I heard this Bowie Track when I was in a CD store in Glasgow only a couple of years ago. A truly brilliant performance. All the best. Ted from Cumbria.
Dear Shatner, How about some more Meheny jams..this is the sweetest playing I have heard in some time....just keep playing this forever dude..love it a lot....:) Little girl on scooter was mesmerized..she did not want to leave..." Please mommy shatner is jamming with Bowie/Metheny chords...mommy please...just 45 more minutes...:)
Really enjoy the long selections
Most fitting. Great composition excellent interpretation. Thanks
Thanks for posting this beautiful rendition.
Totally inspiring future guitarists!! Something special about the tranquil music among the Hustle and Bustle. Awesome!
There's a song by Metheny that is seared into my mind, a sort of anthem for my salad days, "Last Train Home." Used to listen to jazz nite every weekend, for years, on my local college radio broadcast. It was the song they always played as the outro to the program. Not really a Pat fan, but that tune will always hold a spot in my heart.
I actually watched this video in its entirety and then had it play again in the background while I work. Great improv of a great track dude. Cheers! \m/\m/
When I settle in to do some graphics, Robin's music is always the perfect choice. Love those 1 and 2 hour improvisations.
So I'm thirsty I pull into a convenience store to get something to drink, and this video started and I'm having a hard time getting out of the car until he finished the song... that's crazy right?. This guy is OnPoint💯
wait till you see my recent jam video of this. I think it’s about 40 minutes but I was really happy with it. probably post it in the next few weeks.
Great improv session...love it! Thanks for sharing this one, Robin!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Makes me want to dance !!!
💃💃💃💃🌹
You are amazing!!! People just walk on by??? They must be ashamed!! Fantastic!!!, David would have stopped by!!! Classsssssss
Robin, I've commented before on some of your UA-cam videos. I know that your sense of humor helps you endure the seemingly endless stream of indifference you encounter from the masses on the streets. However, the public response is actually less about apathy and more about purpose. You are performing in a place of transit. People are simply in route to their destination. It's hard for us to "stop and smell the roses" or pause for anything, such as wonderful music. Clearly your playing is amply rewarding if/when they do pause...However, I think there's something far deeper that helps you endure: your love and reverence for beautiful music. The music you choose to play is profound and usually deeply moving. I've never heard anyone busk and play Pat Metheny. My favorite work of his, "April wind," followed by "April Joy," on his debut album, is as poignant as it gets. Music heals, it is tribal, in our bones. It is universal. Wherever you play, you are offering a gift to those who care to receive it. Your viewers on UA-cam, counting me, are your greatest beneficiaries. Find heart in that truth, the next time you ponder the "apparent" indifference...
nicely said. but remember this is also the main walk between two large tourist destinations, Canada place and gastown, that means lots of people walking casually between them not taking transit, not in a rush. It’s the same in the summer. I once made $17 in three hours on a summer night in front of a skytrain exit when it was fireworks night. that was peak relaxation and thousands of people walking casually by on a warm weekend night. busking conditions don’t get any better than that and I was a ghost. It’s a problem that runs far deeper than ‘purpose.’
@@shatnershairpiece I cannot explain it all, only offer an impression. To me, what you offer in your public performances is not as much about intrusion as invitation. Perhaps the depth and subtlety of your play fails to draw a response. People want a quick hit and then they're on to the next thing. You are the "Gunga Din" of street musicians; Tirelessly performing for little accolades and meager recompense. Still, when all is said in done...you are a better man than I, Gunga Din!...and for what it's worth, I for one will still be listening...
Another Comment Year Later........LOVE YOUR AWESOME JAMMM GOD BLESS YOU ...I Pray Your In Heaven Playing This one Day BROTHER
Thanks for listening
Hi from Ocean City Maryland USA. Thank you for this long relaxing jam of one of my favorite songs of all time. I have seen Pat Metheny live 3 times. He is like no other. I also have your 2-hour version of this jam from You Tube. It`s great. Except for the guy in the wheelchair,(who stayed the entire time enjoying the sweet grooves), the other Vancouverians just walk by clueless of your obvious talent and sweet notes, riffs, and chordal combos but i`m sure everyone enjoyed the added ambiance even though they don`t show it.
Fantastic...!!!
Sublime
NICE !
Brother, I listen to u a lot. Yr one of a khine! Keep the torch lit! Troubadors lead the way. That's why the Lord sent ya.There is only one way. The right way. The youngin's of this day are lost sheeple. Acts are the way.
you are a great guy
Superb sweet round tones that just keep coming...
Really hits the spot.
nice, long solo guitar
Can't tell you how many times I've watched "Falcon and the Snowman" just for the sound track. You've done it great justice! I love Bowie's sound track music, my other favorite is "Cat People", "Putting out fires with gasoline". Fantastic job, love your playing!
Glad you enjoyed it! I also love that cat people soundtrack
ECCELLENTE IDEA E INTERPRETAZIONE. BRAVO.UN SALUTO DALL 'ITALIA.
Mindblowing and mesmerizing... I read further down (after searching a while) that this is in Vancouver. This sound would've caught my attention and drawn me in from far away... like smoke from an upwind BBQ.
for this performance, I give it 2 thumbs up. & Shared to all.
You Really Are An AWESOME Guitarist ....Wife And I Have Been Binge Watching your Video's And We Subscribed 2 Days Ago......GOD HAS GIVEN YOU A GREAT TALENT.
amazing!!!
Wow! I didn't expect to hear "This is not America" on an American street! Kudos for sure! This song was released back in 1985, but it has more relevance today than EVER before! Hail to the American Patriots who will take control again! May God bless us!
this is not America, this is Canada. Vancouver BC.
@@shatnershairpiece You are right of course in Canada! With Trudeau as your leader, I'll give you one chance in ten that your folk will escape! Good luck up there!
@@shatnershairpiece Sorry, but the message is the same. The Patriots will take control again in spite of Canada's apathy!
Today U-tube put this in my Rotation and Every-time I Hear It Has This GREAT EFFECT on my soul, Very Calming AWESOME JAM ...Like My Last Comment Still Stands @ 27,691 Views and Only 951 Likes SOMETHING is WRONG....Or Maybe That Is Just The Ones With EARS to Hear This BEYOND AWESOME PERFORMANCE. GOD BLESS YOU MY BROTHER As You Bless Us With Your Talent.
It's amazing how the child is interested
So Melancholy, takes my breath away. 2020 was a impact & still dragging on it's maddening! The state California sucks life is so Economically, bad, but life goes on! You keep playing, your a Bitchin Guitarist! Take Care! It's Sunday 3/7/2021, 6:26AM.
You play that guitar like you have a most beautiful woman in your arms.
You've got good tone.
You are simply outstanding!! Thank you.
As I hear this....in my minds eye the credits for The Falcon and the Snowman roll by.....😉.....beautifully done as always brother
Some nice bus stop jam....on a piece of Canadian toast with folks never listening well.
You GO guy ! Love America . Love your playing too .
Magnificent work. It's not just the music, and the notes and chords, there's a story in the air.
Beautiful... saved to "favorites"
Really like what you do, great player and no doubt under appropriated. I play as well and have been for years but nowhere as good as you but I
still really enjoy playing. All the best and keep on pickin. BTW GREAT GUITAR and sound system.
