Hello, I’m Joe - I’m a guitar player, singer songwriter, producer, teacher and recording engineer. On this channel you’ll find a range of videos including original songs and covers ranging from blues, jazz, folk, bluegrass, classic rock & solo fingerstyle guitar arrangements. You will also find guitar lessons, chord breakdowns, tutorials, gear reviews and other guitarist related content to help you stay inspired on the instrument.

I play Maton acoustic guitars, made in Australia (just like me) and am very proud to have my own signature instrument, the JR Signature.

If you are a guitar player, I have a variety of courses ???? currently available including my best selling Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced Complete Fingerstyle Guitar program on Udemy and my Guitar Synergy Channel on TrueFire, which is a portal with hundreds of video lessons, TAB and a way to connect with me directly and post your own videos to the channel. It has been amazing to help so many guitar players work on their practice routine, repertoire and music theory - use this link to get the best currently available prices on all courses: https://www.joerobinson.com/courses

I have had the amazing opportunity to learn from and perform with many of my guitar and musical heroes and mentors including Tommy Emmanuel, whom I met when I was 11 years old, Eric Johnson, Robben Ford, Steve Vai, Rodney Crowell, Emmylou Harris, Vince Gill and many others. Over the years I have performed over 2000 concerts and taught workshops at places such as Berklee College of Music, Musicians Institute, Belmont University in Nashville and various other music schools and conservatoriums across Europe, Asia, Australia and North America.

I have 5 albums currently available on all streaming services. ???? My earlier albums are fingerstyle solo guitar instrumental records, and I have several more recent albums recorded with a trio (bass & drums). These recordings are influenced by funk, blues, r&b, jazz fusion and classic singer songwriter artists. My albums can be streamed on Spotify, Apple Music etc. or purchased from my website on CD or Vinyl format at: https://www.joerobinson.com/store ????

Wishing you all the best and thanks for being a part of the guitar community here on YouTube! ????
Joe
