Rob Harris Masterclass – The Secrets of Jamiroquai’s Guitar Sound [FANATIC GUITARS]
This past October we had the great pleasure of having Rob Harris in our store. The guitarist of Jamiroquai, the band with the best-selling funk album in history has also worked for big names in the music industry like Katie Perry, Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Anastasia or Lighthouse Family.
Not only that, Harris has spent years teaching his guitar mastery by giving personal classes and offering Masterclasses all over the world. In this Masterclass that he offered in our Fanatic Guitars store in Barcelona, he talks about his philosophy when it comes to collaborating with other artists, building around the song and the voice as the center. He also talks about how to develop simple but effective arrangements and of course about his gear. He explains why he has made the transition from strat to PRS guitars, what are his favorite amps and why he does prefer small amps for recording, as well as how amp simulators like the Kemper have become part of his live arsenal, and how any device (he revealed to us that to record Funk Odyssey he used a simple Line 6 POD) can be an inspiration to create memorable guitar parts.

Este pasado octubre tuvimos el enorme placer de contar con la presencia de Rob Harris, guitarrista de Jamiroquai, la banda con el disco de funk más vendido de la historia. Además de aportar su rítmica afilada en Jamiroquai es un músico de sesión muy solicitado. Ha trabajado para grandes nombres de la industria como Katie Perry, Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Anastasia o Lighthouse Family.
No sólo eso, Harris lleva años enseñando su maestría a la guitarra dando clases personales y ofreciendo Masterclass por todo el mundo. En esta Masterclass que ofreció en nuestra tienda Fanatic Guitars en Barcelona nos habla de su filosofía a la hora de colaborar con otros artistas, teniendo la canción y la voz como centro donde girar. También nos habla sobre cómo desarrollar arreglos simples pero efectivos y, por supuesto, nos habla de su equipo. Nos explica por qué ha hecho la transición de guitarras tipo Stratocaster a PRS, cuáles son sus amplificadores favoritos y por qué prefiere amplis pequeños para grabar, cómo los simuladores de ampli como el Kemper se han convertido en parte de su arsenal en directo y cómo cualquier dispositivo (nos revela que para grabar a Funk Odyssey usó un simple POD de Line 6) puede ser una inspiración para crear partes de guitarra memorable.

One of the best guitarists you could ask for in a band. Dedicated, professional, daring and intensely musical. It’s fascinating and inspiring to hear his thoughts on music and his stories about his work. I’m particularly surprised that Jamiroquai has no rules and no key when they play. That to me is just insane. I wouldn’t be able to cope with that! Only the best practiced musicians can think and play that way. No wonder they sound so unique and distinctive, compared to many other bands that end up sounding much the same as each other.
MODJO!!!
Great man and great musician!
Less is a Plus! Well done!
Genius…..only one word for it….and humble…..love it
Dynamite LP is indeed to much guitars and a bit too much rock. Yet Rob is my favourite modern guitar player cuz he's later work. Super tight and funky and classy cat! Came here to watch the masterclass again. And Cory Wong is too crazy lol
3:25 qual nome dessa música?
Sensacional ❤
Min 9:40. thank me late Lads????
Class funk player. Brilliant.
Cleanest guitar ever….
Was it Charlie Russell who made you play for 8 hours straight?
"she is a fast persuader" is a hard song to play well ????. Sometimes less is more. Thanks to you and all the band

I feel so relaxed watching this masterclass. So great that he shares his experience, and no shred. Great masterclass, just relaxing and pure class.

PRS is guitar snobbery.
Casualmente tengo una pantalla Orange PPC112 a la que le pongo un Sennheiser E906, ¿os da buen resultado colocándolo delante del logo "Orange"? Además en algunas tomas me parece verlo ligeramente separado.
Nice PRS Fiore
My goodness, where to start with this? I just have to say up front, if someone asks why I don't like cheesy Metal, this answers the question.
Rob is all about musicality, no posturing, just pure musical magic. If you want to improve as a guitar player or as a musician, no matter what style you're into, just watch and listen to the man.
Awesome to see the Fiore getting some love!
