Mainly a bluesman; I also admire Eric Johnson's style and am a big Rory Gallagher fan.
I also love fingerstyle acoustic guitar...especially the alternate tunings.
Big fan of the "Kings" i.e BB, Freddie, and Albert.
I was attracted to Robert's style of playing, his phrasing, choice of notes, etc.
Looking forward to learning from Robert.

Hi Steve
Welcome and thank you for introducing you.
And I can agree with you that Robert’s style of playing is exactly the reason why we all are here at MGA.
According to your description you must be a very advanced player. As a beginner with still very limited skills I would really appreciate if you could share your songs with us. You can share it under "Recordings & Jams".
You mentioned Rory Gallagher and Eric Johnson. Rory is a little bit too hard for me, but Eric Johnson I admire too. I love his melodic solos with the slow and fast parts. His dexterity is awesome, and, coming from piano to guitar, I really admire how he implements piano voicings into his guitar playing. Excellent sound.
Enjoy your playing, Birgit

@skrohn, Welcome to the MGA! That's an interesting set of influences and preferences for acoustic and alternate tunings. Looking forward to hearing a sample or two of your efforts as you work through RR's materials.
Have you caught any of Jerron "Blind Boy" Paxton's performances?
