Robben was soon hired to play with Charles Musselwhite for nine months. Robben Ford played with Jimmy Witherspoon (1972-1973), the L.A. Express with Tom Scott (1974), George Harrison and Joni Mitchell. In 1977 he was a founding member of the Yellowjackets, which he stayed with until 1983, simultaneously having a solo career and working as a session guitarist.
In 1986, Ford toured with Miles Davis and he had two separate periods (1985 and 1987) with Sadao Watanabe, but he seemed to really find himself in 1992 when he returned to his roots: the blues. Ford formed a new group, the Blue Line, and subsequently recorded a couple of blues-rock dates for Stretch that are among the finest of his career. In 1999, he released Sunrise on Rhino and Supernatural on Blue Thumb. Ford signed to the Concord Jazz label in 2002 and released Blue Moon that same year, followed by Keep on Running in 2003 and Truth in 2007. Robben Ford whilst continuing to record solo albums has been touring in 2007 with guitar legend Larry Carlton.

Robben Ford Lyrics
Once there was a way,
To get back homeward.
Once there was a way
To get back home.
Sleep, pretty darling,
Dot not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.
Golden slumbers,
Fill your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.
Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.

Antonio 1964
this tone come from his soul across his fingers..Petrucci it's time you begin to learn
whynottalklikeapirat
As much as Petrucci seems like a nice guy - or perhaps Santa in his summer fur - it simply fails to evoke any real emotion within me. I get bored with it. Frankly I don't much like the tone either. Or the way he shapes it. But he seems like a nice enough bloke

The only video where I can hear how the Lovepedal low gain Mosferatu sounds.😂😂🤘🏽#lovepedal

@Da Xman Right, this is RF driving the Dumble

I don't believe this is the low gain Mosferstu by Lovepedal (which is not exactly the same as the original Hermida pedal). This is the recording with the guitar sound that Alfonso Hermida designed his original pedal around for that sound (the original Mosferatu - which is not the Lovepedal version). Check this out: " I wanted a tone similar to Robben Ford’s “Golden Slumbers” version from a Beatles tribute album. In order to get that tone I ended up using Mosfets in a section of the circuit. I wanted to integrate the “Mosfet” name in the name of the pedal. Since I’m a horror film fan, I recalled “Nosferatu” (vampire from the silent movie days). So it ended up being Mosferatu."

It is on a CD called "Come Together - Guitar Tribute to The Beatles Vol 2"
