The Official Blog of Pro Guitarist Allen ROBOT Van Wert

I have been composing day in and out for the new album. This will be a masterpiece. I have been challenging myself to write the absolute best sounding music while still using insane technique. I am currently writing a song that has 3 parts playing at the same time on one guitar with the robot tone and a very strong melody and harmony to it. My side goal is to prove that the robot tapping can be very musical indeed. I have not been this excited about guitar based music in quite some time! I feel very dizzy from all of the complex parts I am writing and playing so far today. My eyes are having trouble focusing on anything except for the fretboard it seems. I am so happy with the work so far that I am really thinking about taking this on the road once it is finished and touring as ROBOT.

I am just so excited! The magic is happening.

I finally found a melodic use for ROBOT Tapping… LOOK OUT WORLD!

Here is a new lesson on legato strength development.
