Yah hes no Lenny Breau..-.Breaus dead....and now Rik , who is better than ever and consistently getting better...WILL over take Breau as the greatest Canadian guitarist out there!!!....ok ok so I stretched it abit lol...BUT one thing Breau didnt have and couldnt do was SING like Rik while playing...
I had a chance to see Rik Emmett play a guitar clinic gig here in Sarnia with a front row seat! Rik is such an awesome player and it was totally great to sit there in the front row almost feeling the vibrations of the strings on his guitar! Then at the end of the night Rik took the time to talk with just about every person in the audience and autograph free posters for everyone. Rik Emmett is the real deal!
He is playing a free show in Buffalo (North Tonawanda, NY) on July 28th, 2007. Molson Canal Concert Series. Saw him down there a few years ago and it totally ROCKED! Been following his music since the beginning of Triumph (1978?)
He is just so good...His playing never gets boring through the years...He plays a good song called "Suitcase Blues" on his album "Just A Game"... It is just as good...Very talented!!!
i saw triumph 3 times and rik solo 1s. triumph was the best live show i ever saw. and would love to see them reunite. but i would even be happy if rik would do bigger tours. he has been anywere near me in almost 20 years.
He was in Burlington, VT two weeks ago at the Higher Ground. I got to meet him after the show. He said he has reconciled with the other band members, after 18 years! He said a reunion is a possibility. However, the other members have not kept up playing like he has over the last 18 years. So, there would have to be some getting back into shape! So, there is hope!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the update "cdhunter2". I saw the reunion at the Canadian awards show and it was awesome to see them together for a little bit. Lets hope they follow through with it. And im jealous as hell you got to meet him. Always a dream of mine. Followed the band since 1978.
Great stuff

Rik has gotten better over time, but I think a lot of that was due to Steve Morse' teaching him. He's decent, but he ain't no Lenny Breau.

Actually my favorite insturmental work of his was Finger Talkin. That was before he ever worked with Steve.

@alyeahal Rik Emmett is a way better guitarist than Steve Morse.
