This guy has played to 184,000 people in Rio de Janeiro with Paul McCartney. For over 30 years, he's stood beside artists including Chrissie Hynde, Norah Jones, Mark Knopfler and John Mayer, chosen for his innate musicality, versatility as a player and of course, genuine nice-guy persona. When he's not on the road or in the studio with the glitterati, however, you'll find him at home in the rolling hills of Dorset, writing and recording his own, solo and band material.
Robbie McIntosh's latest release is Turn Up For The Books, a collection of songs that brings together his predominantly blues and country influences on electric and acoustic six-string. "A song might present itself, y'know, mucking about with different guitars," he says in typically unguarded fashion as we go over the motivation and inspiration for the record. "Guitars inspire songs, they absolutely do - they usually come from the tone of the guitar."
Here, Robbie shows us the acoustic guitar and resonators that feature on Turn Up For The Books.

This guy is the one who adds magic to John Mayer's songs
and Norah's songs too..
I went to see John Mayer in concert and noticed this guy on the stage. Never heard of Robbie before. Now I know. Wow this guy is the real deal. Continuing my research on Robbie. Amazing musician!
+Brandon Tran McIntosh was Paul McCartney's guitar player in the 80s/90s. The DVD "Put it There" has great footage of him and Macca in the studio. Amazing guitar player.
Robbie, one of the most humble guys in the business.
Honestly, you are here because of John Mayer , Confess !!!! :) Such a great and humble person. fascinating.
The J50 and the first resonator...both incredible.
Robbie - the guy is just so damn good.
This is a gold standard of great musicianship. It's wonderful to hear this.
That first resonator he played sounds absolutely beautiful
So tasteful. Loads of flavors and textures. True artist.
I LOVE resonated guitars/dobro. Its amazing how full of a sound you can get from it. It just enhances the sound of a player trying to put an emotion into their song so well.
I meet Robbie, a few years ago he was doing a slide guitars course in Bath, he was a real gentleman and an inspiration, what I feel really sick about is I also owned a Mike Lewis maple guitar like Robbie's and like a fool I sold it, I've been kicking myself ever since
+Dennis ouch!!
Did something similar meself when I was going bad many yrs ago- imagine a '58 335 in suitably worn condition with StarClub Hamburg stencilled on the bashedup case. Acquired from a fella 10 yrs prior in similar plight. Told me it was a Lennon backup. Oh my that gat played so well...
Never forgiven myself.....:-/
I emailed him with a question about something and he responded. I. couldn't believe it. Just a regular guy.
That is so cool. Where did you get his email?
Who wouldn't reply to a guy named 'Barry Kaufman'?! :) Robbie is just brilliant!
Paul Davids I cannot argue with you. who, indeed?
+Paul Davids You should really do a video on resonators. :D
+Paul Davids wasnt expecting to see you here
man i hadn't played guitar in years. but after hearing the intro to "Daughters", i just had to learn it. and now i can thank Robbie for giving me back my favorite hobby
i wish this was at least 3 hours longer !
Best non guitar-hero guitar hero out there. Maestro.
Wow, this guy! He’s the one that makes everyone he plays with sound so good. Amazing.
One of the best sideman in the biz. This guy has been the secret sauce for many popular musicians today. Brilliant musician.
Robbie! I met you down in Houston back in the ‘80’s. You let me play an acoustic and my friend played bass on another. You and Rupert were hanging out. Good times in New Orleans, Austin (Antones) and Dallas! Hope you’re doing well!
This makes me so happy,
I love this great great guitarist.❤️🇮🇪
Great player, saw him kicking ass with McCartney a long time ago
Top bloke. Beautiful player.
I was lucky enough to be shown how to play the intro to The Pretenders song; '2000 Miles' by Robbie back in 2019 when he did a masterclass in Pocklington. My ham-fisted efforts are so funny to watch now and it's the most unintuitive riff I've ever learnt!. Robbie was so generous with his time and to be shown this by the guy that played with The Pretenders on the USA Live Aid was something special. Thanks Robbie!
Great sounding guitars and also great playing!
Loved this guy's playing over the years, Paul, Chrissie etc. He'd be great to jam with or get a lesson from.
A great and subtle guitarist. To be heard also on Pretenders albums and all the fine things during his years with Paul Mc Cartney.
Bad Man's Song - Tears For Fears - @4.28 - one the most understated yet accomplished guitar solos I've ever heard.
Makes me weep when I hear it. This and Carlton's solo in Third World Man take me to another place.
hey, what a treat this is ! great player, really nice guy and his own music is beautiful- thanks for posting this !
Esse slide deve ser de ouro, o véi toca muito!
Guilherme Dias o cara tocou com o Mayer né filho
Both this vid, along with the vid of electrics used on the disc...Way Cool, Mr. McIntosh!!!
Best guitarist mccartney ever had such a classy player
Ditto The Pretenders
Agreed, McCartney never had anyone better
So inspiring!
My dad said, after working with him, that he's never heard his laminate guitar sound like that
Nice Gibson, Robbie. I've got a 1951 same model. Slightly different pick guard. A beautiful guitar. I bought it second hand in Montreal in 1969 for $150. It's still with me. :-)
excellent musician 👌
My new Idol...
Wonderful playing and lovely guitars. Loved the Mississippi John Hurt style playing. You should do a John Hurt feature in the mag.
Really cool playing - nice that is not cliched playing too .
I have been thinking of getting a square neck but the playing here inspires me to stick with working on round neck playing to become a more versatile player.
I may yet get a square neck though....
Lover these tones and the playing thanks for sharing with us regular people
That Gibson’s is something out of this world
genio , capooo , genius!!!! from argentina
That maple triolian resonator sounded like the music from Trumpton and Camberwick Green (and sounded wonderful !
anyone have a tutorial on how to play that little tune at the start? so cool!!
What a great guy
does anybody tell me the name of the first resonator just after the acoustic J45 Gib please? awesome mellow sound. This man is one of the most awesome guitarists in UK. a real gentleman. cheers and thanks. bruno from France
... 1957 seems toi be a good year for guitars and its players!!!
Is any body knows what sort of open tuning Robbie using usualy while playing with slide?
Excellent
Awesome !
Wow!
*🔥🔥🔥🎸ROBBIE MCINTOSH 🎸🔥🔥🔥*
Awesome :3
I transcribed the song at 6.05 and also wonder what the name of the piece might be
Nico de Graaf man ive been looking everywhere to find it... would you mind sharing your transcription? my Mail Is justinwildenhain@gmail.com - youd make a fellow guitar Player very happy ;)
Same here please!
Nice
All us Brothers from Baltimore and all "hoods" remember him from 'Cut the Cake'. If it weren't for the name of the band, back then you'd guessed he was black from Ohio. Pure funk
He never played with the Average White Band. Pretenders, Sir Paul, John Mayer ...
Is that a Robbie song at @6:06?
Graham Prior Was wondering the same thing...what a great little tune
it's called Rag to a bull. :)
@@emdblues no song available by that name in you tube. Where to look for it?
@@debabratabanerjee8153 I think it's on his bandcamp page. He has a few albums there and I bought them all :)
what is the tuning of the second guitar
Which song is he playing at 6:30?
Jagoan aenk!
is that standard tuning?
1:23 which song is that?
Lord, that J50 is in great condition. What's the installed pick-up? Do you have to boar a hole in in to plug in? How's that work?
I believe it's an lr baggs m1a but I might be wrong. I don't think you need to drill a hole on it just change the strap button on the back with the included one and you can plug a input jack on that one.
The guitarist's guitarist.
Robbie McIntosh is huge, but he's mistaken about the Triolians. They were NOT wood bodied in the thirties as he claims. There was a brief period of a year and a half when National put out the first single cones in which they were wood bodies. This was from 1928 to half way through 1929. By mid 1929 until they stopped production of the Triolian they were all metal bodied.
Ha. “It’s quite hard to play…” Then perfection happens as he plays it.
he says... guitar sounds gud in the flat keys... woohhh!! thats precisement for me..
Does anyone know what Mississippi john hurt song he based his riff off?
The song is apdi pode pode
This might help..? m.th-cam.com/video/IuV68a-Gsdk/w-d-xo.html
Gonzo
He is thumbing the E and the A at 1.47 hmmm difficult.
