Richie Kotzen - Workshop EM&T Pt. 4

[Telac993]

This is fucking sick.

[fleafarteasy]

Why do I have to hear about paul gilbert on EVERY Kotzen clip?

[marcelolivier]

Paul Gilbert is one of my idols but Richie's playing seems to flow better. Both guys shredded their asses off back in the day. Although I think Richie's playing back then was more appealing to me anyways. His legato is just unsurpassed in this genre of music.

[f0xo9]

Richie is way more laid back in his playing. He plays so far back on the beat that he's barely on the beat. I think that's part of what makes it so damn smooth.

PG is the opposite. He plays on the front of the beat, to make it seem a little more fast-paced, and frantic.

Both are insane players, it's just a matter of taste, really.

[EmotionalShredd]

@f0xo9 agreed. good comment

[Fendershred50]

@tasdvl9 Yeah, I love Paul, but I always thought Kotzen had really good taste as well as technical talent

[XxJacksonplayerxX]

when did richie kotzen decide: "hey you know what fuck virtuosic skill, I'LL WANK OFF TO THE BLUES ON A TELECASTER." what a total waste.

[DoubleIntruder]

What?

Dude considering the skills on display in your video's i think i'd shut up if i were you..

Secondly there are other styles of music besides metal & shredding...

Ritchie has obviously been through that phase of wanting to play as fast & technically as possible, & now he wants to play some music rather than just do tricks to impress people..

[ecarromeana]

swing groove...nice tone man..

[Garettenator]

I would say he shits on Paul Gilbert. They are the best 2 to completely different spectrums of music.

[cascarrabias13]

why are u guys talking about PG?

[Garettenator]

I don't know. I don't know Why I would say he shits on PG. I tihnk I missspelled wouldnt haha. I love PG I gave no clue how I typed that.

[viktorsalazar2]

you're talking about PG 'cause they've both been in Mr. Big at some point.

and i'm gonna have to agree 'cause richie kotzen in his shredding prime was simply ludicrous.

[theoak84]

Ya, we all know what Gilbert is made of. But we are here watching Richie for a reason...

[flyinbryan63]

This Guy's got some Monster Chops and so much soul it's unreal......

[Herns1209]

His the shit. Shits on PG in mine opinion. Love that Tele tone; sounds better than his strat. Man; when is he coming to Australia.

[ryandeguzman]

hell yea...his phrasing and improvation skills are amazing, and not only that he can improvise whether it be jazz, rock, funk, or rock...guy is world class guitar player

[marloni]

kotzen is very lyrical when he plays
