Richie Kotzen of The Winery Dogs: The Sound and The Story (Short) 

great interview! Great guy!!

So much to take away from this video years later especially in terms of how his sound, technique, and mindset has evolved to today. Richie is a class act and true artist. So many people want to compare him to Chris Cornell - but if I were Cornell and alive today I would look at this and everything Richie as done since and honestly say "I am not on this guy's level as a complete artist". Cornell = amazing vocalist Kotzen = amazing artist I am not at all knocking Cornell and love him to death as well. I am just saying those who put him are putting Kotzen in the same space just haven't taken the time to understand who Richie actually is - and drives me nutz lol.

OMG!!!! Fret12 and Kotzen together!!! Whay did I found this now??!! Awesome vídeo btw! Congrats

Legend. Gets such a powerful sound with his hands. Awesome

The guy is amazing

I keep thinking he is Chris Cornell's brother. Nearly a Doppelganger.

Awesome interview ... thanks Fret12 !!!

Nice guy! Killer player and singer

that awkward moment when someones guitar is as old as you haha. Love his playing and that band! one of the best things to come from 2013!

woaa ... Richie is change his amp a lot ... but he loyal to his tele :-D

I really liked when he had the Cornford sound. It was so smooth. "Get Up" had a great sound to it. It was in your face and so good. "Slow" had a great tone too.

I say buy Fever Dream and start there, Such a great album as far as Solo stuff goes.

Does Richie always have his amp on the floor. I do, I just prefer the sound around the floor. I’ve always done that and find I can balance my volume with the rest of the band.

Awesome! RK the best ever! o/

IMO, Richie's signature Tele is almost the perfect guitar... It's GORGEOUS, it has comfort cuts, it has great pickups and circuitry. I just wish it was lighter weight and had a little thinner neck... Then, I would HAVE to have one! I guess I'm gonna have to make my own "Franken-Tele".

BEST IN THE BUSINESS....33 DISLIKES?????WTF

So RK was being himself while playing with the pick....I like his fingers better :D

🎸🎶Awesome, Jammin, at the legendary Arcada Theater; You guys are gonna rock when you play there in a few weeks, can't wait to see ya! 🎸🎶🎵

Love this band. Amazing talent.

inspiring interview ! RK is awesome

Ahaa, Richie explains how he makes magic with his awesome Telecaster!! This is a great info and thanks for the awesome video!! The man and his working guitar!!! He doesn't need all of those kinds off models with brandnames and shit!! He is a hardworking down to earth guy with normal stuff that works for him(and me too) awesome!!! Just awesome!!!!

love Richie!

setting up the tone of the amp depends on places where you are at, that makes sense !!!

If you want A few good CD Get his self titled CD Richie Kotzen from 1989 or His newer CD "what is" both great.
