Is it strange that I am genuinely thrilled for the captain, a good man I never met, gets to meet robben ford, another kind man I never met. And I get to enjoy the interaction from the comfort of my phone 4000 miles away. What a wacky time we live in...
And what a truly nice man Robben Ford REALLY is!!! Way back in 1988, just after Robben's "Talk to your daughter" album came out, Robben toured around and he came to Amagansett, Long Island, N.Y. to play at the "Stephen Talkhouse", a really cool historic old music lounge were lots of famous acts come to perform. I had been a huge fan of Robben's for years, and at the break during his show I went over to his table to meet him. And he was so very cordial and willing to truly talk with you! Just before I finished asking him important questions about music and guitar techniques I asked him if he would be willing to do a guitar clinic on Long Island, and he immediately said ""sure absolutely,,"" and he looked around on the table and finding a paper napkin, he pulled out a pen and wrote the name and phone number of his manager, and he said ""just call him and tell him I gave you his number, and he'll set it up"". That's the kind of guy Robben Ford is! If I remember correctly,, his managers last name was "FERGUSON", I'm not certain of his first name though?!?! Maybe it was Gary, ?!?!?! Anyway,,,,, what a great memory that was~!~
Sonny Cannon That’s awesome! That’s the difference between people who play just to get paid or get laid and the guys who genuinely love the music and the fans. The guys who try to interact and relate with their fans are just the best. Dimebag Darrel from Pantera and Eric Johnson (both Texans as it happens)were/are great examples of down to Earth legends. Robin Ford is as nice as they come!
Hi @@FloridaManMatty Thanks very much for your nice comment! Yes, I guess it's all about who you are as a person, as to whether or not you'll become a snob, or not!!! The egotistical guys who happen to become famous, would have been jerks regardless!!! LOL!!!
I don't get this "humble guitarist" talk. Can you name 3 not humble guitarists that made it and got to top? Do you care how they behave as long as they play top notch?
in my opinion robben ford is just about the most tasteful guitarist on the planet. He has nailed that whole "what not to play/when not to play" thing perfectly. I've played all my life and my solos have always tended to be pretty fast. robben has shown me it doesn't always need to be so. Watch and learn...
Bless The Captain, he didn't realise Robben's joke about best album he ever made @17:24 The smile on RF's face says it all! Great interview both of you.
What a nice, thoughtful guy. Very understated and modest (and a terrific musician - goes without saying). You're a natural interviewer, Lee. You ask intelligent questions and allow your subject to speak, adding brief encouragement to keep the flow going occasionally. This is excellent.
Saw Robben in Salt Lake City a couple of years ago. We were at cross walk, stopped in a car in front of the venue. A guy with a pony tail and a guitar case crossed the walk right in front of us. I looked at my friend and said, "that looks like Robben Ford", in a sarcastic voice he says, "I believe that is Robben" and indeed it was! It was funny to just see him crossing he street in front of our car. Needless to say, it was a great show! But funny to see him in that situation before the show.
Bloody lovely bloke, Robben. I met him briefly after a gig in Bath about 20 years ago. Instead of bumming a pick off him, I gave him one of mine. His face was a picture then broke into a great smile, bless him.
Lovely chat and always a treat hearing Robben play. I love his attitude and his philosophy of a good guitar and a good amp. Pedals and distortion can overshadow the talent of many players. Great video!
Had the immense privilege to meet and play with Robben in the early 90's in Melbourne Australia. Firstly ..the man is a HUGELY developed musician..to sit at close range and lock into his groove and melodic sense while trying to hold up my end forged me as a player forever... Secondly ..a more humble and non bullshit guy would be hard to find.. so generous and sweeeet! Thank You Mr.Ford. PS...the hints he gave me regards comping I still work on nearly 30 yrs later and I'm still scratching the surface...BIG MUSIC
RF is a phenomenal guitar player...love his jazz-blues style....although he can play anything.....and a genuinely modest and nice man....a genius who has been around for over 40 years
What a truly nice man Robben Ford REALLY is!!!

I got to see Robben Ford this past weekend in Cincinnati Ohio. His band is incredible. If any of you have not seen him live, you have to.. Incredible playing, and incredible tone!
I watch these even if I don't know who the artist is, gives me an insight into some really good guitarists that I otherwise would never have heard of. Really cool stuff.
+TheMusicfan189 The best thing so far that happened to this show imho was Nick Johnston. What a guitarist! The other players are definitely extraordinary artists, but damn, Nick Johnston really changed my music library :)))
I saw RF countless times in the past 25 years. Unbelievable musician, at many levels, of course. To me, his taste and musicality are unsurpassed, he just has something that really speaks to me, and i can't find it in anybody else. He has an interesting character though. He can be unbelievably gracious (but avoid taking photos of him), but he needs to really trust the person in front of him. You can tell at the beginning he looked rather cold, almost uncomfortable. Then as the interview progressed, he quickly warmed up, and seemed to really enjoy this chat. Well done Captain, great job.
I'm 63 years old and was just as excited to watch this video as I was watching Superman and the Lone Ranger in 1955. Robben Ford and Lee Anderton are my 2 favorite guitar players. The interview was fantastic. I wish they would have have played a few 12 bar choruses together.
Oh man-I hear you on that! His playing on "Woodstock", "Rainy Night House"-the swells!! and the call and response with Joni on "You Turn me on I'm a Radio".Sheer tasteful magic...
Wow! The Captain meets... is establihsing itself as THE source for relaxed interviews with outstanding musicians. I've seen Robben Ford for the first time in 81 at the Montreux Jazz Festival together with the Yellowjackets. And after all this years it seems, that he is not only a great player but a nice person as well. Thanks Captain for the best TV channel around!
Hahaha! I live in LA- I saw Robben play at the Temple Bar in Santa Monica like 20 years ago. I was young (had no idea who he was at the time) and was so blown away by his playing that I approached him after the set and asked: “Hey man, do you teach lessons?” and he said No he didn’t... Now I get all his Truefire vids and it’s an awesome insight! He’s the best-
Just came across this gem! Thanks guys. What I love about Andertons is the respect they have and show for all their guests and the products they review. True genuine values applied in everything they do. They also make you feel like you are there with them, sitting alongside for a chat! Well done Lee and the production team 👏 🙌 and thank you Robin! Great insight.
I've followed Robben since the 1970's and was thrilled to watch his success rise over the decades. I can't believe how old 'Talk to your daughter' is now & the albums as a trio that followed were all superb. His tour with Larry Carlton is available on YT and features Robben, Larry, Travis Carlton & Toss Panos on drums. It is possibly some of the best live work from Robben & Larry that I have heard over the years. Thanks to both artists for such a massive contribution to the music world.
Robben Ford came to my attention back in the 1970's when he played with Tom Scott & The L.A Express - they backed up Joni Mitchell for her 'Jazz' transition period- just a hard working, sincere guitar player with good intentions...fantastic to see this.
The captain knows so much about guitars and the sounds which really matter to a real bluesman. I've learned so much from this man for the past 4 years. Cheers Lee for being the captain that he is.
Great interview!!! I think Robben’s guitar had a bit more clarity in the sound. But they both sound great! Thanks for this video, it was a pleasure to watch.
wow that was just out of this world,tone is in the hands and this video is proof of that,what tone Robben generated out of both the Les Paul's,amazing ! kudos to Captain for the best in this series of videos.
I had the pleasure to be at his show at the (very tiny) Larvik guitar festival in Norway this weekend. It was wonderful! His playing was pure silk. Strong, stil delicate.
Great man. Heard him first on one of my all-time favorite albums 'Miles of Ails' by Joni Mitchell, where his tasty subtly playing immediately struck me.
My favorite RF album is still "Talk To Your Daughter". I still remember when I first heard it. I dropped my guitar off at a luthier back in the late 80s and he had TTYD playing. I was hooked. What an expressive and tasteful player and humble human being.
"I'd like to hear it played by a good player"
"Who can we get?"
What a dude.

No different to TV dude.
Two very humble / down to earth people. Very refreshing.
John Robie humble dumble
I don't get this "humble guitarist" talk. Can you name 3 not humble guitarists that made it and got to top? Do you care how they behave as long as they play top notch?
Robben Is humble Yes But not that Shop owner
@@mattiv1😂

I've played all my life and my solos have always tended to be pretty fast. robben has shown me it doesn't always need to be so. Watch and learn...
And he's got such a humble "BB King" type attitude which makes him all the more loveable.
Also worth checking out in that respect is Adam Levy (plays with Norah Jones and many others).
That's exactly how I feel about Larry Carlton which is ironic since they love playing together as much as possible.
Same thoughts about John Scofield. What & when NOT to play is such a good quality for a guitarist
Robben Ford on Anderton's TV. Fantastic! Thank you so much!
Loved this! My only complaint is that I wish it was longer.
+Danny James That's what she said.
Rimshot!
+Tom64 LOL
or he...
The captain was right Robben Ford - Legend I’ve stil got a smile on my face just listening to him jam 😊
What a lovely bloke.
Robben ford is just elegant no matter what he plays! Lucky you lee!!!! Lucky you
Good interview. It's so nice to actually hear the guitar without being totally doctored up and heavily overdriven.
Someone that gets it!
I love the sound of a Les Paul clean, Robben’s bridge pickup is the SOUND!
Had the privilege to hear a lecture from Robben Ford in the Berklee summer sessions. He is an incredible person and guitar player, amazing experience.
Ely I was running monitors for that. Also where I got the gig to work with Robben Fords Tech, Rick wheeler. Awesome concert and lecture.
Bless The Captain, he didn't realise Robben's joke about best album he ever made @17:24 The smile on RF's face says it all! Great interview both of you.

Wow, what a nice and lovely person Robben is.
Great interview, thank you. We all know Robben Ford is a great musician, but now we also know he seems to be a genuinely nice bloke.
+Phil Turner Knew that for a long time too!
He always comes across like a very nice, genuine and humble guy for someone with so much talent
"I'm not a proponent for Seymour Duncan particularly, but shit..."
Ladies and gentlemen, Robben Ford.
Captain Lee, these are some of my favorite videos you do. Please keep doing these. And then come to America and open an Andertons. 🤘😁🎸

What a sweet guy and a fantastic player !
If Robben Ford played my guitar, and liked it, i'd be running around like a giddy little girl.
Bloody lovely bloke, Robben. I met him briefly after a gig in Bath about 20 years ago. Instead of bumming a pick off him, I gave him one of mine. His face was a picture then broke into a great smile, bless him.

Thank You Mr.Ford.
PS...the hints he gave me regards comping I still work on nearly 30 yrs later and I'm still scratching the surface...BIG MUSIC
RF is a phenomenal guitar player...love his jazz-blues style....although he can play anything.....and a genuinely modest and nice man....a genius who has been around for over 40 years
such a nice, humble but talented player. Thank you for the interview.
That was an awesome interview! Thanks Captain.
Robben comes across as so authentic and straightforward, which is really refreshing - a lot communicated in only 20min
Robben Ford, what a Legend! Great interview 👍
thrilled and impressed to see one of my long time favourite guitarists at andertons

I like the brighter pups in Robben's guitar.
I visited Andertons for the first time on Friday 11th ,great music store ,very helpful friendly staff , I recommend it cheers from Scotland
Damn, Robben is just amazing with a guitar in his hands.
Twenty minutes of total GOODNESS!!! Great interview Cap.
Fantastic players coming over at Andertons. This is just great! Thanx.
I got to see Robben Ford this past weekend in Cincinnati Ohio. His band is incredible. If any of you have not seen him live, you have to.. Incredible playing, and incredible tone!
This is the most humble and wise blues or rhythm and blues guitar player and of course talented. The way he communicates is so clear and honest.
I watch these even if I don't know who the artist is, gives me an insight into some really good guitarists that I otherwise would never have heard of. Really cool stuff.
Same here dude, That's a. good thing to do
+TheMusicfan189 The best thing so far that happened to this show imho was Nick Johnston. What a guitarist! The other players are definitely extraordinary artists, but damn, Nick Johnston really changed my music library :)))
Robbin Ford, What a nice guy, such a smooth player
An old friend of mine from Ukiah,Ca. went to high school with Mr. Ford, always had good things to say about him. One of the greats.
What a legend, Robben comes across as very humble and polite. Thanks for sharing 👍
Fantastic interview. Thanks so much for sharing!
Love Robben Ford. A musician's musician.
How lovely is Robben?!! What a nice man.
how can anyone not love this. Thanks.
Robben seems very impressed by all the research Lee has done on his record :)
I saw RF countless times in the past 25 years. Unbelievable musician, at many levels, of course. To me, his taste and musicality are unsurpassed, he just has something that really speaks to me, and i can't find it in anybody else.

I still remember him on miles of aisles-Joni Mitchell album and the way he drove those great Joni tunes without being overbearing.
Oh man-I hear you on that! His playing on "Woodstock", "Rainy Night House"-the swells!! and the call and response with Joni on "You Turn me on I'm a Radio".Sheer tasteful magic...
he's such a good guy...what a nice person.

This was great! Lee makes for a very humble, witty and watchable interviewer.
wow, ive seen a few interviews but honestly robben was so comfortable here i loved it. what a great interview. and what a classy guy. Instant fan
I agree with Mr. Ford. Nashville is a magnificent place for musicians. What a great interview.
Saw this pop up on my subscription list and thought "nobody fuck with me, the next 20 mins is mine".
Hahaha! I live in LA- I saw Robben play at the Temple Bar in Santa Monica like 20 years ago.

I love this guy. A Genuine genius and a so generous! Great interview, by the way.
That was the coolest interview yet. Robben Ford is such a bluesy player! This had to be awesome for the captain.
What an Awesome guy is Robben! Awesome interview as always!
Wow Robben Ford has played your guitar. Awesome!
What a nice guy Robben Ford is!!
Robben Ford came to my attention back in the 1970's when he played with Tom Scott & The L.A Express - they backed up Joni Mitchell for her 'Jazz' transition period- just a hard working, sincere guitar player with good intentions...fantastic to see this.

Robben Ford, my favorite guitar player! Leve, great talk show with the genius Mr. Ford!
Robben is so cool! Kindness makes a person we all want to be around.
Excellent interview! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎸
Sooo Cool. "My guitar will never speak to me again now it's been played by you..." priceless.
YES! Please keep doing this, awesome people lately !
Fantastic, what a totally nice bloke
Had a smile on my face the whole way through that interview. What a top bloke.
Lovely Guy, beautiful Guitarist 👍
Great man. Heard him first on one of my all-time favorite albums 'Miles of Ails' by Joni Mitchell, where his tasty subtly playing immediately struck me.
great music journalism and interview again by the Captain... thats why i subscribe
Damn his "simplicity" and taste are hard to match. Very nice indeed! Thank you Mr. El Capitán!
Is Robben a class act or what? He is so down to earth. He never pretends to know something he doesn't. He flat out says "I don't know".
Great job Captain... I love these chats.
Another legend. His jazz blues playing is the best in the business
I currently live and was born in Nashville, TN. Happy to Robben Ford coming down and welcome to the Music City!
robben. fantastic. i could watch him play forever.
My favorite RF album is still "Talk To Your Daughter". I still remember when I first heard it. I dropped my guitar off at a luthier back in the late 80s and he had TTYD playing. I was hooked. What an expressive and tasteful player and humble human being.
One of the best Captain youtubes ever Robben Ford one of the all time greats...
Both guitars are absolutely amazing love that vintage les Paul sound!
What an enjoyable interview, well done, really enjoyed it!!! MJ❤️❤️❤️
This is awesome.! Thanks Lee for the killer content..
Two beautiful Les Paul's both with Pick guards!!! :-)
So much love for Robben, what an absolute dude!
Ah, man, Robben is the best! Thanks for sharing this!!!
That was awesome well done the Captain
