Everyone is in a hurry to get nowhere. This guy is pouring out his heart and soul. Would it kill you to take a minute from insanity to stop and enjoy life. Maybe even throw a struggling musician a buck. Rock on brother in arms.
This is funny because when I used to commute in the SF bay area everyone was grinding the traffic to get to work. I would laugh thinking we aren't even going anywhere fun like a concert or something. In a hurry to get to nowhere is right. LOL!!!
Maybe the hear him and like what he does just not in the mood. Alot of people are walking with someone maybe they would rather hear the person they choose to walk with than a random guy playing a song they didn't ask for.. Look busking has its value but I dont understand why people just should be expected to tip. He knows this he's just playing the numbers game if 1 % tip he still will do ok. I enjoy his videos because I was in the mood to hear a random guitar riff, even know I wont put him on a playlist to hear numerous songs.
The traffic is too loud and his recorder picks up his sound better for his videos for our benefit. I'd rather listen and watch this guy play the hits more than the original bands themselves. The craftsmanship is phenomenal and he plays his guitar purely technical to the point where it is his natural smoothness. Only those who have the hands may do this.
Fact, as a guitarist i can tell you that we have to practice hundreds of thousands of hours or we loose our skill (in school for life). So many enjoy our music at clubs (4 hour set) including doctors (charge $100's/for 10 minutes visit) and lawyers (charge $450/per hour). These people want entertainment free and never tip. Yet the struggling and hard working class do tip. So many walked pass this living angel and his positive music and didn't feel a single frequency. SMH
I’m a drummer and it’s the same...we have that use it or lose it skill. I had to cut way back on my drumming due to some health issues. Now I’m getting treated by some amazing doctors. I’m having to slowly relearn my skill. It’s totally worth it though. Music heals and brings people together.
People pay for entertainment they ask for, not tipping this guy is not wrong. I can show you thousands of people who can play this dirge of continuous notes. Learn a few scales and keep playing them. I play guitar, to me this is just a noise, the Bontempi backing is dreadful.
Just think of how much an American congress-person makes and they barely do anything to "earn" it. Those cheap smacks would not tip either. 99% of them have lost touch with reality and their constituents. WE NEED TERM LIMITS! Sorry I know that's political, but similar to what Eduardo posted. I would toss a few bucks in there - he earned it!
That's the problem with society these days. Everyone is in such a hurry to go nowhere, and will not take a moment even to stop to show some appreciation for so amazing. Talent like this you would normally have to pay for to see.
@@neoDarkSquall what, people that don’t even have the time to give a thumbs up when going by are all followers and don’t have a life or are just plain boring.
I disagree. Carlos only plays the high end ejaculation without all the foreplay down in the low end. Just one constant orgasms' and it gets tedious. I only like guitarist who know how AND play the entire neck of the guitar...
My buddy and I love street music so much we fly to Nashville every year and walk the streets around outaide the bars and pass out $10 & $20 to the good ones like this guy.
I'm a guitarist with 40+ years of live playing and recording. One of the bands I played in was mostly improvisation based. You definitely have the gift of improvising. Very tasty!! Awesome stuff!!
I’ve come to the conclusion that the people walking by do not hear what we are hearing..... perhaps the music tone sounds differently with his amp right up against what he’s recording with ..... ? I don’t know..... it just sounds so clear and beautiful! This music should stop anyone in their tracks in awe!
There would be much more background noise competing with this if you're standing away from the amp. And the fullness of the sound would dissipate. But most people walk past, in any case.
Why is he playing on a street, with disinterested bystanders and an occasional quarter? This is one of the best guitarists I’ve heard, both in skill and ingenuity. I’d be standing in awe on that street! I’d certainly give more than a @#$& quarter.
You can tell the difference between a person that loves to play and those that just know how. This is obviously a guy that loves to play ... I can dig it.
this must be that time when most passersby were simply too busy going about their own lives that this gentleman's awesome guitar-playing just went in and out each others' ears just like that.
I'm always amazed at these kind of videos, how people can just hurry by. I can't see myself ever not stopping at least for a minute to see something live and spontaneous like this.
Of course nobody pays attention. He is not jumping around shouting filth. he just stands there PLAYING THE SHIT OUT OF IT! Great job. Thanks for sharing your music and spirit with us.
There is literally no more shit in that guitar due to his playing of it. He has transcended being 'the shit' and is now an honored musician forevermore.
You just played that in my living room and flooded me with beautiful vibes... so I joined you. Good, passionate people like yourself need to be rewarded. Keep rockin, Man. Love from 🇦🇺
If this artist was in a Latino neighborhood, there would be a lot of dancing in the street. I would pull up a chair and have my very own concert in front of me. This man is talented and I appreciate his guitar skills.
Guitar Man takes us away with his emotional playing. This guy is pure talent and sharing his gift for a bunch of ungrateful people. Count me stunned and thank you
Man, can this guy " PLAY ". Can't believe that all these people just walk by without acknowledging this talent. They all must need new hearing aid batteries. ROCK ON, MAN YOUR SOUNDS ARE FANTASTIC.
WHAT THE FUCK?! I ALMOST CRIED LISTENING TO THIS! Your playing has such a soul, one of the best I've heard. I would sit on concrete in front of you for whole performance.
Carlos ... totally dialed in. Reminds me of the days I used to make lunch hour trips to Sparks Street in Ottawa just to stand and listen to a busker who used to bless everyone with his guitar skills. How so many can just walk by without appreciating this level of skill is beyond me. Your playing is a real blessing.
Shatnershairpiece’s videos continue to display a sad truth about our society. People will rather rush home, watch TV and continue with their grey lives ... complaining about the world ... when they had an opportunity to stop and appreciate a live performance of a very talented guitarist.

We are blind to the unique skills of others, whilst we chase our mediocre lives. ... communication is the giving and receiving between two (or more) persons - Love may begin to germinate when we recognise this. 💐☮️🌷
Great playing Buddy. What club do you play out of ? I’d come to see you play foreshore. That’s the best lve heard in ages if ever other than a studio session by Santana. Who is this Artist??
people suck, this guy is great and so many losers are just walking past not even acknowledging he's playing. the world is devoid of soul. sad world we live.

@@shatnershairpiece I think it would be interesting if you would attach a second camera focused on the air heads running around you as if they really had something important to do? Maybe, but I doubt it. It would be a lot more entertaining than just your one camera focused on you in the same place all the time, rather boring waiting for something to happen. Anyway, thanks for the great music. You’re an excellent guitarist & will definitely tune in for more of your excellent selections of music but, let’s get a little more interesting video footage out there. Thanks for the great sounds.
@@vzmachine444 If he had a 360 camera he could reframe it in post to look in different directions, pan it to follow people as they walk by, zoom in or out, etc.
@@vzmachine444 : the videos you post on your own channel are total crap (no offense), and you are trying to give our man Robin here videography advice? Buddy....just no.
My toes are warn out from all that tapping and my face hurts for all that grinning. Great licks, great flow, as usual. Nice! At least a few of people there aren't deaf and dead inside. -dave
Just listened to this again,must be the 10th time at least. This latin/Santanaesque music is sooo cool,I just cant believe those people who just pass by,dont even look at you,let alone tip you. Ignorant t###s ! But us out here in utube land really dig your work. Hope you keeping well.
Joe Satriani and Steve Vai will sit and listen to this talent and would probably ask him to go on tour with them. How can people become that hard hearted to walk pass this man pouring his love out to everyone. Your awesome mate. Please keep up the great work. If I was there , I would give you money while I sit and watch you. You deserve millions mate
Another amazing interpretation... Carlos would be proud. Love how you make these songs your own, but still respecting the source. Rock on! Chris in Seattle
My friend as a long time musician i have to say your improv is on spot...for 13 min you've managed to express the solo in an intriguing conversation with your crowd.... From single note melodies to chord stabs..triad motif and tremolo picking....but u make that magic happen brother ...great job
I know we’re all busy in life but come on people. How can all of you just walk by. He would stop me in my tracks. He’s so, so good. I had to listen to it all, couldn’t just swipe it by, and I’m late for work. What an incredible talent. Carlos, r u listening?
Wow, I don't think I want to go to a town where people won't stop for a few seconds to reload the soul and tip this man, I am an old 56 year old punk rocker at heart this is not really my thing but but good playing is good playing and there is the human decency thing Sad.
56 year old (cover band) classic rock and metal drummer/singer here. I agree with the state of mankind these days, it is sad indeed. I got into Steely Dan in my 30's and still love their stuff. The older I get, the more I gravitate towards this type music, although I'll never betray my beloved Zeppelin.
It would be fascinating to see him travel to different cities and see if there's a difference in how people respond. Sadly, here in Seattle, I think the response would be much the same now. Back in the day, people probably would have been a little more receptive, but it's become very corporate, homogeneous and self-centered. Everyone's in a hurry and too concerned with chasing the Big Tech paycheck.
good luck. not out there anymore. Two years since I busked. too much stress. Only way I do it now is for a $200 advance tip. then you get an hour of busking with video and a song request included.
Thanks for answering the obvious questions ! You know what's great about people asking questions ? It shows they care, are greatful for your amazing work and wish you the very best
Your improvisations are excellent. I have watched almost all your videos, all of them gives a different version, a new but very nice jam version of the original numbers. Keep the good work going Dr. Guiter
That's what I LOVE about robins playing, you can hear the Santana, in this particular song, but all the improv makes it truly Magical . Incredible skill level !! Props to you robin for continuing to expose us to your musical GENIUS!!
@@shatnershairpiece -She 'really' Liked it. Talked her associate into digging up Loonies, as she delved deeply for even more. Notice how many of those Vancouverites are feverishly tapping on their handhelds, obviously attempting to transfer Cryptocurrency to you, in appreciation..; On note; That performance was 'clean' indeed.. Woodstock ; }
I use to buy two of the same album to work up new songs to play live! 25 yrs of doing this and still have them in 25 moving boxes and have always kept them inside in normal temperature to keep from warping! Have this album Santana was my favorite ! Now being 67 and still play live in clubs, I busk on the street and doing more studio work than I can stand!
One of the most common thing, I've heard is the most talented musicians aren't on tour. They're session musicians. Thank you Micky for the work you do!
Hat's off to you my Brother !!🎼🎵🎶 I can't believe noones come by & enjoyed this free gig !!! Outstanding guitar work !! Kinda gotta Gary Moore touch to ut🎼🎶🎵
Upon a matrix of synthesized robotic beings a reflection is cast. It is a flesh and bones anomaly that emits smooth and slick musical tracks. Brilliant and natural the tones permeate beyond all boundaries. They reach and quench the barren landscape but the beings cannot give love.
I wish there was a station on radio that just played his music, it’s just background music without the bs, that’s what’s good about it.keep it up thanks for being on the planet.
Been jamming to your videos every night for the last couple weeks and this is by far my favorite. Will be spending the money to request a song in the future for sure dude. Amazing content!
This man is so skilled, I think he doesn’t need the tips. He strikes me as a session musician who just loves music so much he simply enjoys sharing in public.
OMG, some people wearing headphones with very often the most terrible music there is. In the mean time someone is playing live next to you... Wake up and throw away your headphones !
Not wasted. Guys like him love to play.My famous buddy Albert Lee.plays in front of audiences all over the world for big bucks.BUT if he is in a small club and has a chance to play guitar for nothing he will.Because its part of him.
It’s only lucky that I decided to record all my shows as a diary. I knew that I would be jamming and I knew that I would want to have some record of it. I’ve been posting these for years and they have been getting no views until a month ago. Again, it’s only luck that one of my other videos went viral (dancing kid) and now people are finally seeing these videos. I’m glad they are, it’s just that while I was playing the songs live, while I was in the moment, I was almost totally ignored and it’s not a good feeling.
A god given talent that exudes from every pure of this man's soul. Yet people are like programmed robots, devoid of appreciation for divine gifts like this. Experience it man, don't let the moment pass you by. Seize it.
Your literally in my top five guitarist dude Your like a mixture of Steve vai some satriani n Santana I love it bro keep those strings playing brotha blessed🙏
I don’t understand how, not why all these people just walk by him like he’s not even there. I’d be chillin, chain smokin cigarettes and just listening. From one guitar dude to another, You’re great brother!!
Who else has just become addicted to watching this dudes videos
Me -- he's amazing 👏😍❤
Eh I'd rather listen to the music he's emulating but damn I wish I could play this good and confidently
Me!!!
This guy right here!

Always goosepumps from your music love it 😁👍
What a one man Concert wish you a long beautiful life ✌️
Thank you 🙌
Ditto
I hope that you verified there's a firehouse nearby before playing licks that hot.
I bring extra bottles of water for these occasions.
@@shatnershairpiece I think it would be interesting if you would attach a second camera focused on the air heads running around you as if they really had something important to do? Maybe, but I doubt it. It would be a lot more entertaining than just your one camera focused on you in the same place all the time, rather boring waiting for something to happen. Anyway, thanks for the great music. You’re an excellent guitarist & will definitely tune in for more of your excellent selections of music but, let’s get a little more interesting video footage out there. Thanks for the great sounds.
@@vzmachine444 Boring? There is an amazing performance happening!!!
@@vzmachine444 If he had a 360 camera he could reframe it in post to look in different directions, pan it to follow people as they walk by, zoom in or out, etc.
@@vzmachine444 : the videos you post on your own channel are total crap (no offense), and you are trying to give our man Robin here videography advice?
Buddy....just no.
My toes are warn out from all that tapping and my face hurts for all that grinning. Great licks, great flow, as usual. Nice! At least a few of people there aren't deaf and dead inside.

Simply put: Absolute FIRE. Bravo.
Wish you were in Liverpool,you would make a fortune! I would come and listen every day!
Just listened to this again,must be the 10th time at least. This latin/Santanaesque music is sooo cool,I just cant believe those people who just pass by,dont even look at you,let alone tip you. Ignorant t###s ! But us out here in utube land really dig your work. Hope you keeping well.
Joe Satriani and Steve Vai will sit and listen to this talent and would probably ask him to go on tour with them. How can people become that hard hearted to walk pass this man pouring his love out to everyone. Your awesome mate. Please keep up the great work. If I was there , I would give you money while I sit and watch you. You deserve millions mate
Well for this video Carlos Santana would be a more apt comparison.
Another amazing interpretation... Carlos would be proud. Love how you make these songs your own, but still respecting the source. Rock on! Chris in Seattle
Absolutely incredible, some of the best guitar playing ever. So relaxing hearing that, mesmerizing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Horatio Santana!
DAAAAAAAMNNN SOO CLEAN
My friend as a long time musician i have to say your improv is on spot...for 13 min you've managed to express the solo in an intriguing conversation with your crowd.... From single note melodies to chord stabs..triad motif and tremolo picking....but u make that magic happen brother ...great job
Would I ever love to come and sing with such a talented lead....be awesome to feel that again. Great stuff man keep rocking
That guy in the sport coat is all "is anyone else's mind getting blown right now? seriously, ya'll hear this?"
He wants to dance so much.
She’s a red head ,nice !!
That couple were very intentional! Finally someone who appreciates the street performer :)
I know we’re all busy in life but come on people. How can all of you just walk by. He would stop me in my tracks. He’s so, so good. I had to listen to it all, couldn’t just swipe it by, and I’m late for work. What an incredible talent. Carlos, r u listening?
Wow, I don't think I want to go to a town where people won't stop for a few seconds to reload the soul and tip this man, I am an old 56 year old punk rocker at heart this is not really my thing but but good playing is good playing and there is the human decency thing
Sad.
I agree 👍 💯 sad
56 year old (cover band) classic rock and metal drummer/singer here.
I agree with the state of mankind these days, it is sad indeed.
I got into Steely Dan in my 30's and still love their stuff.
The older I get, the more I gravitate towards this type music, although I'll never betray my beloved Zeppelin.
It would be fascinating to see him travel to different cities and see if there's a difference in how people respond. Sadly, here in Seattle, I think the response would be much the same now. Back in the day, people probably would have been a little more receptive, but it's become very corporate, homogeneous and self-centered. Everyone's in a hurry and too concerned with chasing the Big Tech paycheck.
When the heat dies down I'm taking the skytrain from Surrey on a hunt for this guy!!! Amazing player. I wanna just relax and enjoy the vibez
good luck. not out there anymore. Two years since I busked. too much stress. Only way I do it now is for a $200 advance tip. then you get an hour of busking with video and a song request included.
I will go with you! This guy is unbelievable! A true talent!
Thanks for answering the obvious questions !
You know what's great about people asking questions ?
It shows they care, are greatful for your amazing work and wish you the very best
Your improvisations are excellent. I have watched almost all your videos, all of them gives a different version, a new but very nice jam version of the original numbers. Keep the good work going Dr. Guiter
that’s the whole point to my musical existence.
That's what I LOVE about robins playing, you can hear the Santana, in this particular song, but all the improv makes it truly Magical . Incredible skill level !! Props to you robin for continuing to expose us to your musical GENIUS!!
@@shatnershairpiece -She 'really' Liked it. Talked her associate into digging up Loonies, as she delved deeply for even more.
Notice how many of those Vancouverites are feverishly tapping on their handhelds, obviously attempting to transfer Cryptocurrency to you, in appreciation..;
On note; That performance was 'clean' indeed.. Woodstock ; }
I use to buy two of the same album to work up new songs to play live! 25 yrs of doing this and still have them in 25 moving boxes and have always kept them inside in normal temperature to keep from warping! Have this album Santana was my favorite ! Now being 67 and still play live in clubs, I busk on the street and doing more studio work than I can stand!
One of the most common thing, I've heard is the most talented musicians aren't on tour. They're session musicians.
Thank you Micky for the work you do!
Hat's off to you my Brother !!🎼🎵🎶
I can't believe noones come by & enjoyed this free gig !!! Outstanding guitar work !! Kinda gotta Gary Moore touch to ut🎼🎶🎵
Simply amazing! This is the kind of music you listen to with headphones and just chill or go to sleep.
Loved it. Absolutely beautiful.
Upon a matrix of synthesized robotic beings a reflection is cast. It is a flesh and bones anomaly that emits smooth and slick musical tracks. Brilliant and natural the tones permeate beyond all boundaries. They reach and quench the barren landscape but the beings cannot give love.
Peter Green will be with you in spirit . . . one of his most masterful songs, and superbly rendered by you . . bravo.
thanks, but this is not a Peter Green song. it’s Latin style, but it is not black magic woman.
the Peter Green of 'Oh Well' fame.... the original Fleetwood Mac? Back in the days when ability and talent took you places!
I wish there was a station on radio that just played his music, it’s just background music without the bs, that’s what’s good about it.keep it up thanks for being on the planet.
Been jamming to your videos every night for the last couple weeks and this is by far my favorite. Will be spending the money to request a song in the future for sure dude. Amazing content!
Awesome! Thank you! And thanks for becoming a member. Appreciate it!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful music and your talents. Thanks you be safe
This man is so skilled, I think he doesn’t need the tips. He strikes me as a session musician who just loves music so much he simply enjoys sharing in public.
this is my only income. this is my job. never was a session musician. I record my own music.
Naw man...he needs the tips. 🙌💯 Can't believe people don't acknowledge his talent...I'd be late to work.🎸
@@shatnershairpiece You are making me rethink my aversion to loopers and drum tracks! And I am going on 66. Rock on, brother! Subbed!
Wrong!
@@shatnershairpiece Good man , excellent performance,at the best bus stop to be waiting at
I love watching you play . Spellbinding!
What a sound !!...raw talent
This guy is awesome and the people dont seem to appreciate his talent. Wow!
OMG, some people wearing headphones with very often the most terrible music there is. In the mean time someone is playing live next to you... Wake up and throw away your headphones !
We are from a different era, to be sure.
Different culture yes ,headphones , iPhones eyes downward or Straightaheadsoldier .SAD
Different taste(s). Places to be.
Not just playing, throwing down!!
Another great busker - great tones, great licks I was so entertained take a bow my friend
Nice jam! And great tap technique. Nice to see multiple people tipping for a change!
Was für ein großartiger Musiker,der sich die Seele aus dem Leib spielt...und die Döschies latschen vorbei...
true
Incredible.
such talent waisted on the streets , love your guitar work .
Its not wasted at all.. many people all over the world are watching him in these videos, who could have not discovered him otherwise.
Not wasted. Guys like him love to play.My famous buddy Albert Lee.plays in front of audiences all over the world for big bucks.BUT if he is in a small club and has a chance to play guitar for nothing he will.Because its part of him.
It’s only lucky that I decided to record all my shows as a diary. I knew that I would be jamming and I knew that I would want to have some record of it. I’ve been posting these for years and they have been getting no views until a month ago. Again, it’s only luck that one of my other videos went viral (dancing kid) and now people are finally seeing these videos. I’m glad they are, it’s just that while I was playing the songs live, while I was in the moment, I was almost totally ignored and it’s not a good feeling.
in this heart of hearts, doesn't matter what you play. Gads supreme ....
Remember singing Karaoke at Wang Chungs -- believe it was "She Sells Sanctuary" -- and got eye contact from a stunner... made the evening!
The little kid tipping, priceless!!!!
A god given talent that exudes from every pure of this man's soul. Yet people are like programmed robots, devoid of appreciation for divine gifts like this. Experience it man, don't let the moment pass you by. Seize it.
Absolutely brilliant ! Just giving my two cents worth.
Cheeky, 🤔 still 2c more than a look
i want come to Vancouver just to watch and listen to you playing Robin
Another great performance! You are so awesome! Thank you. 🙂❤️
Your literally in my top five guitarist dude Your like a mixture of Steve vai some satriani n Santana I love it bro keep those strings playing brotha blessed🙏
Wow, thanks!
@@shatnershairpiece de nada my friend 🙏
I don’t understand how, not why all these people just walk by him like he’s not even there. I’d be chillin, chain smokin cigarettes and just listening.
From one guitar dude to another, You’re great brother!!
Easy to understand, not that many people care that much. Just another busker.
