Half Hour of Acoustic Guitar
🕑 Added 2014-11-11 19:33:25 +0000 UTC mp3 is attached the the video goes live tomorrow! video commentary for patrons $3+: http://www.patreon.com/creation?hid=1204255&u=34856&alert=3 Song stems for patrons $5+: http://www.patreon.com/creation?hid=1204265 Here's another full half hour of one instrument :) This was a bit of a challenge as I'm using a tuning (drop C#) I am not particularly familiar with. Though I'm really happy with how this turned out. I often get pretty nervous after the 25 minute mark, but thankfully there weren't any gigantic mistakes. Thanks for supporting my video making, I hope this one helps give musical accompaniment to work, homework, chores or whatever you'd like a half hour of acoustic guitar to help you with :) Have a good one, Rob

Finally became a patron here and going back through to get some goodies when I came by this particular post. I'm not sure of whether I'm seeing the date/time the post was made in Rob's time zone or mine (UK), but if it is mine then I couldn't help but realise this was posted the day my daughter was born! And at the time shown she would have been about 2hrs and 40mins old!

Glad you enjoy the video! and I think the mp3 perk is probably best used here :) I'm extremely fortunate that I get to do this for a living, it's been a hell of a journey so far and I plan on keeping it up as long as possible haha. And yea, nowadays music sales are few and far between, this is a far better source of regular income for me and my projects. Any support is in no way meager, especially when you compare it to ad dollars, it helps a ton and you all are directly responsible for making these videos happen. Have a good one!

That's awesome to hear! and thanks Westbound Train was a song I had sitting around for years waiting for it to be on an album. But I eventually just made a video for it and made it a single. I wasn't sure if it was good enough to stand on it's own, but I think I just had it sitting around for to long haha so that's really good to hear and I'm glad you enjoy it :)

After Slayer and Spawn of Possession covers, which I've enjoed, nice to hear one more half-an-hour calm music video. And I love this Westbound Train part, this song is my favorite.

I meant, over all the songs that exist. I know only one song that is longer than 30 minutes. Just being able to play for this long without any interruption is a really impressive feat.
Rob Scallon
Well much thanks! I practiced with this guitar and tuning for a while in the weeks prior to prepare for this. At some points I run out of ideas a bit and around 25 minutes in I start to get a bit nervous haha also, congrats on writing 100 million songs and 1 of them being over 30 minutes!
Rob Scallon
haha nice! And you're very very welcome! thanks for allowing this video to exist!
Nicolas Hamel
Thirty minutes of guitar? That's longer than 99,999999% of all songs! Whoa! That alone requires a lot of talent!
