@Crispeacock It's the comment to just post on every goddamn video. This is underrated...thats underrated. Tho no one using the word understands what it means. 😞
Simply amazing. An awesome collection of super solid advanced rock guitar licks. Watching this video reminded me of why I started playing guitar, very inspiring.
I feel your pain , people don't understand how hard it is for us extremely talented, Beautiful people who happen to also sing like a Angel. We gotta stuck together through these hard times my friend ✊
I keep telling my friend, hey dude, you're halfway there already. And then I see something like this and realize that neither one of us are even near half way there yet. In fact, I'm going to go ahead and sell my guitar and maybe become a Chimney Sweeper at this point.
It's D and not breaking, just vibrating so fast, it can't be seen at such low resolution. If you check a few seconds later first 5 frets of the D string is there.
Ex- C and E shows a Lot How he is playing today (2023). With more tríads, enclosures and jazzy stuff.Sure he keeps his pentatonics with bars and amazing hammers ons and pull offs since forever.
no wonder he n greg howe can compose complex stuff he should collab with paul gilbert n joe satriani an instrumental album add in mathias n some new generation shredder it be a blast
that's his signature strat in see through white burst. RK has a signature tele and strat. his own strat is probably from the 2000s. fender is selling the reissued ones
Don't be so hard on yourself & don't underestimate yourself. Apart from that; there are dozens of 6-7 year olds on youtube - kids with snot at their noses - who play better than Richie Kotzen... so the thing is: There is no sense in competing with anyone or comparing yourself with others. There always will be someone better - even better than those we accept to be the best nowadays. You should just sit down and have fun. Bob Dylan uses only standart chords by the way... Enjoy your guitar and gear my friend.
I agree to not be too hard on yourself. For an intermediate to an advanced player this video is a great way to improve your rock phrasing. Although without a good understanding of arpeggios I can see this video could be a bit fast paced for some.
Pretty much! The trick is that he combines 2 shapes so it becomes a 3 notes-per-string pentatonic. In my opinion his signature sound is that fourths lick. He throws that in every now and then. Fantastic guitar player and killer singer. Richie is the whole package :)
They are custom made by dimarzio, but you can get similar tones using the hs 2 by wiring only the top part of the pickup (soldering the black and white wires, black being hot)
