Nuno gave it away after a brief misunderstanding too, they all got nothing to prove, but this truly seemed like one of the times for Richie to shine! Love the energy
Nuno cracks me up man! Such a cool dude! A laughed so hard at his reaction to Joe's sustained note with the bar! This was awesome all three killed it!!!
I think it was better that the drummer did keep the beat up like Nuno encouraged him to after he initially backed off. It kept everyone driving and prevented the possibility of some of the improvs from dragging.
Joe's got so much love for the instrument that he's removed his ego and is always willing to share the stage with guitarist that most players would be too intimidated to play with ! Richie Kotzen was cook'n ! 🎸🔥
Imo Ritchie is always learning /practicing even though he is already masterful. He probably been listening soaking up country guitarists while on breaks from touring grabbing bits of their eccese. Some stay stagnant/content in their success. He pushes..
Richie shreds but he is actually very blues/soul based. I've been listening to him since 1989 and he never ceases to amaze me, he is always creating while jamming.
Richie talked about taking lessons from a young flamenco guitarist who is friends with Mateus Asato a few years ago. He's more than a cliched 80s shredder.
More than 20 years ago I was learning from Ritchie Kotzen’s REH videos and learnt cool licks 😎 He is the absolute win for me! And legend of Satch is known & loved by all. Cheers from India ❤
Man you're missing out, it's not too late. Check his first 3 albums if you like instrumental guitar music, he was a shredder like becker/vai but evolve into blues, jazz fusion, rnb, soul and pop throughout his career. Check his work with Greg Howe, Poison, Mr. Big and The Winery Dogs and his solo band. He also sings like Chris Cornell!
Richie was the most 'stylistically diverse' and had such full and wide ranging tone in comparison to Joe and Nuno who sounded so scooped. All in all though, definitely a good jam.
Poison to Mr. Big to the Winery Dogs to a collaboration with Adrian Smith, with several solo efforts along the way. Ritchie Kotzen is one of the most underappreciated masters in the world. In terms of well roundedness, only Prince comes to mind as being more accomplished in more areas (singing, playing multiple instruments, recording, producing, mixing, performing).
Just look at the guitars and you kind of know what the tone and style is going to be. I thought Richie was so pronounced. Just a maturity to his playing over this style. Love them all.
I hate the idea of Cruises; trapped on a floating city with a bunch of people I may not like. However I make the exception here; trapped on a floating city with a bunch of fans of real music, and some of the best musicians on the planet. I want the Extended Stay package...
All great players! Joe makes it look easy. I first heard Surfing with the Alien way back in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-eight 1988 and I was blown away! I loved it and I still love it, Way back then, Joe was already a great player.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I just love this brought me back in the day this is even better than before HELL YES . Don’t want to stop playing this. You got me wanting to dance. So BAD ASS SHREDDING they should call you SHREDDER ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love you
OMG just absolutely BAD ASS my goodness you guys make me want to dance. HELLO YES shred that guitar I LOVE THIS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
that was cool af Richie made Joe bring some funky nastiness but I think Richie wanted that to keep going for awhile - it was starting to get interesting
I don’t know who is singing amazingly AND playing keyboards but everyone should. He is killing it man! Holding his with big names on stage. Came for the guitars, and stayed for the vocalist.
No way, so that's the Thirsty Merc guy, didn't realise that, fair play to him! He's a brilliant musician, seen him a few times in tiny dive bars in Australia killing it on the keyboard and vocals!
The three of them were really creative and mindblowing. Kotzen is really precise, Satriani has fun and his mastered effects, Nuno is in between. But I really love them all.
Great video. Great players. All of them. Including the drums and bass. Still like Creams version. It’s the standard. Clapton plays a great solo. Of course Jack and Ginger. That’s why everyone plays it.
