[holyssun]

my guitar hero richie kotzen

[drdethbsd]

придурок гитара это тебе не штанга. техника у тебя есть . но играешь ты без души

[maxhidester]

@drdethbsd Это демонстрация из школы Ричи Котзена! Не спорю стиль конечно на любителя, но называть человека придурком, тем более такого известного, считаю неуместным

[drdethbsd]

@maxhidester известный это когда тебе его имя что то говорит. мне имя этого придурка не говорит ничо

[maxhidester]

@drdethbsd я имел введу) известный многим)

[drdethbsd]

@maxhidester ну и хуй с ним. все равно хэндрикс рулит )))

[knoph2]

o melhor guitarrista do mundo, sem duvida! The best guitar of the world, no doubt!

[djbot]

@knoph2 you do not know joe pass obviously

[Emmasworldwhat]

Its funny cuz poisen didnt want him cuz he was too fuggin good.

[krelbar]

@Emmasworldwhat Nah, its because he was fuggin the drummers fiancee!

[RogerHwang]

@krelbar its actually both

[DanielPro21]

which pickups is he using?!

[SuperGuitarNerd]

@DanielPro21 Bridge - Dimarzio Chopper-T, Neck - Dimarzio Twang King

[priest1989]

hes using dorian too

[widhio]

@aussiephil99 So I only just learned of the modes and I'm just curious, how do you know he's playing in lydian? Can you tell by sound, sight, or are you just some kind of guitar master type guy?

[metalrhoads]

@widhio normally, when something sounds like very major., and by that I mean very happy, or the kind of think you could sing to all day, that's normally lydian.

an easy way to recognise it is, if it seems sth. satriani or Vai would play, it's got a lot of chances to be lydian(cause both play lyidian most of the time).

I hope I got that right, and that I was helpful ;)

[agustinstorni]

Es mi favorito!!!!!!!!! Richie Rules!!

[acmilanccmr9]

nice telecaster!!!!! XD

10/10!

[xematick]

2:04 ultra Kotzen lick, love it!

[dudu0607]

1:24 ,1:25 oh my GOD nice sustain

[felchs]

Is that satriani's composition?

awesome music and interpretation!

[Intruder051]

No it's not Satch composition.

[Aussiephil99]

@felchs .....sounds like Satch because he's using Lydian mode alot....which Satch adores

[teban2012]

El hombre es arrogante, pero tiene toooodo su derecho. Un Bluesero para la historia..!

[POLDUSTLEAD]

@teban2012 Por ke crees ke richie kotzen es arrogante?

[Lucazzz69]

Yeah great phrasing but I have to agree, his tone isn't so good here, but in any of his other vids his tone is just crazy

[Kasper892]

Any idea where i can find tabs for this?

[agustinstorni]

richie you are excelent

[Captinfingers]

he has lovely legato.......not as silky as howe but its sweet.

[insaneguitarfreak]

yeah, and his power pickups also give him that everlasting power sustain.

[vannnefrost]

Kudos

[Spymoni]

Ohh yes it does :-)

[Spymoni]

You are right it's a Di marzio but it is not the fast track but the "Chopper ".

[AlekFilip]

well i hate the fact that the the telecaster guitars are very quiet and you cant play rock or metal on them btw great vid and great guitarist

[ESPplayer69]

you can, you just have to change the bridge pickup for a seymour duncan hot rails as he did and then the telecaster become so versatile, I think.

[shredicon86]

Jim root? John 5? Richie Kotzen...?

[TheDutchHippie]

You're such a cunt, it's unbelievable how stupid you are xD

[Getzen919]

And your intelligence just shines right through. :)

[primarydominant]

i fucking hate the crappy drum machine macking tracks, he does a lot with it tho. one of my favorite players

[ClaudioMariola]

great phrasing!

unfortunately the sound is faulty on this video

[Shredas]

The most awesome with this is that he makes it sound that he's using a whammy.

That's exactly what I've been trieing to achieve.

[cnmaster01]

not quite sure what the point of this was but it was awesome nonetheless

[Daedge15]

what a guitarist!!!!

[aryinc]

Vai is lots of noise,other guitarist dont get a chance to be up with him he always louder and more irritating,esspecially in the g3 shows its all with the whammy.

[Anthowtzen]

Richie is THE KING

[nebula987]

check out joe bonamassa for incredible blues and licks that definitely change this type of playing

[joeibanez666]

i went to see bonamassa last night! Absolutely amazing live!

[electroguitar]

00:46 - 00:51 PAUL GILBERT RIP OFF!!! lmao

[andr3wchr]

No way! That barring legato is typical kotzen. Look at his Hi-Tech Rock DVD, he explained it there.

[Aretoile]

Yes i agree

that's Kotzen staff

[Josheepoo]

vai is god!!! simply put. not kotzen, but he is good

[guitarshred11]

ritchie improves better than vai to me ive never been to fond of vais improve work on G3s and Namm shows. he always seems 2 get smoked by guitarist like paul gilbert andy timmons and yngwie malmsteen. vai is a god at writing original and beautiful music that is truely unique

[iwishiwasafish123]

malmsteen is ridiculously good at sweeps, but his improves really aren't that complex, all he does is use the harmonic minor scale

[Sherlock88]

serious?? I always though of the opposite :)

...that gilbert petrucci and also satch are a bit less creativ in improvisation...well in my opinion. But you're right ritchie's got a real talent

[ZaphodBeeblebrox65]

Satch...less...creative?....

*Brain melts*

[Sherlock88]

well okay he's not less creative but he appears less versitle to me...

[grosucelmic]

i am really willing to learn; could you point some of the original and beautiful music written by vai?

[ZaphodBeeblebrox65]

"Sisters"

"For the Love of God"

"Tender Surrender"

Original but not beautiful: "In My Dreams With You"

[grosucelmic]

"For the Love of God" is his indeed (to my great surprise), I checked, and is indeed good. Written in 1990..it's a long way back.. "Tender Surrender" isn't that original (his playing, yes) and "Sisters" - original but not that exciting. Thanks for th info

[thorekz]

the guitar looks so damn smooth

[LifegrindX]

He's got like a funky Holdsworth thing goin' on...LOVE IT!

[kraven1978]

its a custom telecaster, with dimarzio pickups, and the fingers of Richie.

[KeYan27]

the most complete musician i've ever seen.

[dennoow]

watch Guthrie Govan then :-)

[kkkkk79]

and your is the most bullshit i have ever seen? do you know someone call steve vai?

[fleafarteasy]

huh?

[stringavenger]

This guy can play anything, fusion, blues, funk, jazz, country, metal and shred. And even sings. Hats off to Richie.

[jose044]

he is doing the imposible with that telecaster, get tht overdriven tone is so hard

[gamjamproductions]

That is the problem with the unknowing Fender person. A Telecaster is the most versatile guitar out there. You can get any sound you want if set up properly.  Just cause it's ugly, don't underate it............its a screamer.

[f0xo9]

Like hell it's ugly. A tele was the first guitar I ever got, and I think it's sexy as fuck.

[Quinnius]

Oh yes.. telecasters are quite teh sex.

[padawan007]

did he use effect processor or only the amp?

[bingefeller]

On this he's only using the Yamaha amp.

[lauriemonk]

brilliant player

[JimEllis1975]

Fuck me! (hes still a cunt tho)

[scrumpymanjack]

My thoughts entirely. He gets a great tone (Zappa copy) from that tele but he's a fucking wanker and his own biggest fan.

[georgemariosmusic]

Great stuff.....Ritchie has great tone and phrasing...His solo work with Mr Big and his solo material are great

[joeparkes]

I think Paul Gilbert is good but i think Richie has a way better style!

[mikeo5150]

He's so underrated... his legato runs are right up there with Satch's

[tapilaha]

satch is the O.G. ;) but richie's legato surpasses anything satch can pump out by a looong run.. plus he mixes it up with sweeps

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Some of those blues licks are a bit cliche, but somehow he makes them his own & breathes his own flavor into them. I love Kotzen, I just wish his newer stuff was more experimental. It all sounds so similar to me.

[EVHisgodyoumuppet]

i want to have his babies. it would involve much sneaking with a large sack, but a productive evening nontheless.

[CrucialSix]

why would you choose a tele and alter the sound so much that it has nothing to do with a tele anymore?

anyway: richie kotzen is the only guitar-player I know who shreds like hell AND yet has the passion and emotion of a good blues-player in his playing.

[guitargem1223]

That's exactly what I was thinking!

[ksmithdc]

Eric Johnson, Steve Morse, Michael Landau, Steve Lukather, and Carl Verheyen all can shred AND play legit blues.

[RG550]

What are you talking about? Still sounds VERY much like a tele, Tele's have a very strong natural tone that doesn't change much with pickups. For the stuff he's playing, it makes sense to stick a fast track in the bridge, for a bit of a push to get some more juice and body. His tone still barks like a tele should, teles rock.

[davydusade]

takes that nasty fender stock pickup out and use a hot rail

[tubeusuario]

String thru body?

[jose044]

how he gets so much sustain from a tele ? :O!

[baluourso83]

not bad ? see him ate 1991 fuck

[And2001PT]

Fuckin awesome.

[jeffmizzere]

not bad dude
