I used to work in a music shop in Kingston Surrey (England) and Robbie was a customer .. played a Squier Strat then .. this was just around the time he joined The Pretenders .. he was previously in a local band called The Night. Really nice humble non-starry guy. I remember him walking me through the solo on "Kid" a priceless moment !!
In my humble opinion Robbie is in the top five guitarists of the world right now ... if not the best. Such a tasty and musical player. Always great parts on songs he's recorded too. Love this guy.
@bwachter72 Yes he's awesome. The delay's running in the effects loop. As you can hear with the slide, he has a distortion and a delay as background, so it's a loop :D
Awesome tone indeed. Hey Brad, is Robbie using the Britain in 15W or 50W mode? Is he running his delays in front of amp compression/distortion? By the way, congratulations on the new website!
Robbie McIntosh is "The Wizard's Master" revered by Paul McCartney, John Mayer and Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders, not enough only that and you are lifted up to heaven by winged angels at 4:30 when he change his guitar for a Duesenberg semi-acoustic with TV Jones pickups and handles the tremolo and slide like a Pedal Steel Guitar.
Is it possible to explain the tone at minute 5:00 with the duece??? did he switch amps for more of a clean tone?? or just rolled back on the volume?? whatever that tone is, it's sooo clean and thick!
can't wait for my Klon clone to come in from JHS!!! its gonna sound sooooo good through my jackson ampworks! I keep reassuring myself by watching this video...
What is that song he plays near the end at 7:25? I remember wondering that years ago when I saw this video, and just game across it again. What a gorgeous player he is.
Doug Fischer I don’t know what he’s actually playing, but it sounds to me like he’s playing a guitar translation of part of the verses in Walking In Memphis.
@@alexkennedy7770 I hear what you're saying! With the melody resolving from the maj7 up to the tonic... But that melody he's playing is so familiar, I keep thinking it's some classical piece, or Gilbert & Sullivan or something... some show tune...
I think I've watched this over 20,000 times.
Likewise! And it's still mystifying what he's doing on the Coronet. Tastiest slide player ever for me.
Same!
Me too!!! When I want to listen to some very good guitar sounds I come back here. Robbie is the best!

Best guitarist Paul ever had, just Such a classy tasteful player one of my favs
Seen him playing with his own band twice. Phenomenal talent.
That Multi-Bender kills me every time.
Cannot get over how good his amp sounds.

What an amazing, tasteful slide player!!!
seldom to I see such tasteful and musical players like Robbie... that is simply BRILIANT
the trem and slide work towards the end really sounds amazing. Robbie is a seriously underrated player. I would love to see him in more mags
Infinitely better guitarist than careerist
that Klon is soooo freaking KILLER!!!!! AHHH that slide tone is absolutely perfect.
Wonderful tones!!!!
Robbie is using the 50W mode. I have no idea about his effects order though. Thanks for the kind words!
Dang his tone is awesome
Seriously...these amps always sound soooooo good. man...great work. robbie's the boss btw.
Awesome tone!
fund203: It's a D-Tar Acoustic preamp. (unrelated to his electric guitar rig) it's for easy EQ'ing for when he's playing acoustic
After all this taste & talent before us, the real wonder is - who are three dislikes?
Twerps
Great tone!
i've always liked this guy due to his work with Paul McCartney, but i now think he has been elevated to 'favourite guitarist'
Good man

That Duesy Slide work though. wow.

What's he got on the deusenbergers bridge to change the pitch like that? Souunds incredible. Beautiful amp too!
44 seconds + is some of the nicest playing I've heard. Anybody know what tuning that is?
+John Finnigan Sounds like standard
I don't know, but it sounds open when he puts the slide in his pocket at 7:25. Fantastic playing, and the amp sounds wonderful. I sure do want one.

Damn! Is that red-white guitar an Epiphone?!

@JacksonAmpworks What speakers is Robbie using in the 2 x 12" cab?
Thank you for the clarification regarding the Epiphone George! My mistake.

What is the awesome black guitar that has pedal steel-type switches? That's pretty awesome.
@chrisdgoldie It's a Duesenberg guitar.
Why two mics on the cabinet? It's not a stereo amp?
What's the very first guitar he's playing? Sounds awesome. Guessing a Heritage LP with p90's?
@Guitar101George Do you know what tuning and what the the strings and intervals he sets his palm pedals for?
-G
What tuning is he in when he switches to that 3rd guitar and does the lap steel sounding stuff??
anyone know the chords he plays at around 0.42?
@matchless3 I believe the cameraman is the maker of his major tone? the jackson amp that is.....
"I'm Gonna Find Another You" stuff on the second guitar he picks up.
0:42 what's this tune again, it sounds familiar ?
the master!
What is that box next to the amp ?
@ooooters Yes, It's an old Epiphone Wilshire
what make was the first guitar does any one know. thought at first it was a les paul but don't think so..
a Collings
what playing 3:00 and 3:40 please
@Coppertunes i wanna know too!
aweful camera quality and awesome playing!
What's the big channel switcher on his board?
+Russell Routh looks like a pete cornish thing
Robbie McIntosh is british?!?
Yes, he lives in Weymouth, Dorset.
Collings 290
