I could listen to RK play all day, week, month, year!?! He's great on both his signature tele and strat, but what I love most is his originality in playing in combining his inspirations and influences with his killer technique. Also helps that his personality is down to earth in all his instructional videos. He knows that being yourself in your playing is what matters most. "Don't fake it, make it" attitude. An inspiration to all aged musicians.
Lotsa downvotes? Why, he gives great demonstration on really cool rhythm stuff. I love it. And the reason the tone is like that would have more to do with him turning the master volume down a lot on the amp, and then cranking the gain knob. You wouldn't expect Richie to play with stage volume sitting right in front of a 100 watt amp doing an instructional video where he also talks a lot.
thank you Richie !!! your playin, is the inspiration for me and many my friends /// i wish you good health and so much inspiration and long happy Life !!!!!
i started shredding along with this guy. (same age). I had NO idea how cool his phrasing was/is. I had the privelage to jam w/becker as well..Huge influence respectivly
