Robben's Universal Groove
from TrueFire's Guitabulary Hosted by http://truefire.com
With his stinging, soulful solos and flawless pocket, Robben Ford has an uncanny knack for making complex music seem simple. Conversely, the guitarist can elevate a mundane one-chord vamp into something divine. Perhaps this is because Ford has successfully tackled so many genres. What has Ford learned from all of his musical adventures? We're all playing the same things, he explains to our instructor for the day, Jude Gold. To prove that common threads abound in music, Ford will take a I-VI-II-V progression and show that whether it's played with a doo-wop group's simplicity or a bebop pianist's extended chords and slick substitutions, the underlying vibe is the same-just one more universal phrase in the language of music.
