Back in 1992, the band I was in at the time played The China Club in NYC, and after the set, I saw Richie sitting at a table .. I was making the rounds with a clipboard and mailing list ( pre-email ) and I figured "what the heck" - I introduced myself to Richie and asked if he'd like tp put his name on the mailing list - he was super nice, said he liked the songs, and put his address and phone on the list .. Just then, the singer in my band ( Drew ) comes over and I say "Drew this is Richie Kotzen, he was kind enough to put his name on the mailing list" .. Drew looks at Richie and says "wow, thanks man, are you in a band too ??" to which Richie says "Yes, I'm in Poison" I laughed, Richie laughed and Drew suddenly turned into Garth Algar
Total genius. I'm following his work for decades. Never, ever disappoints, despite he changes a bit in every record. BTW, some parts remind me Nuno from Extreme :)
Did he make that last example up and that turned out to be Peace Sign? Or did he have already written it? It would be awesome if it'd be the first scenario hahaha
Handsome, genius, creative, nice appearance, singer, composer, humble, musician, and great guitarist.. Richie is my fav musician...

That last 30 seconds was a masterclass in songwriting.
I like the look of that Telecaster without a pickguard.
Dude is a super talented hunk of a guy. Born to be musician. Also love how he aged these days
Richie is way up there with the greatest guitarists in the history of the instrument, and he gets even better as he ages! OMG!!
The part where he sings reminds me of crosstown traffic by Jimmy Hendrix

mr Kotzen´s pick era
Oh how i miss this era, i really love kotzen but it is really awkward to see him playing with fingers
Sort of like “Crosstown Traffic “. Great vid
master Richie, deserve more recognition
Very Jimi... Crosstown Traffic like... Love that sound
2:30 "and I could put some words to that" ... x amount of years later, Peace Sign comes out B)
He makes me sick..always has! lol His phrasing and chord choices are incredible and unique!
This guy should start a band
🤣🤣🤣🤣(these only apply if you are making a joke...if you are being serious.....😱)
Ahahahaha
love that red tele
My guitar hero!
What a great player!
A great inspiration for me! "
Awesome!!
What does Rhymically mean?
He has the talent to make a band like Rush or The Police.
Winery Dogs and Kotzen solo speak for themselves.
And that's why he's 1 of 1
Tone comes from the hands kids.
What a beast! Kick ass player!
MALDITO GENIO!!!!
Did he make that last example up and that turned out to be Peace Sign? Or did he have already written it? It would be awesome if it'd be the first scenario hahaha

Anyone know what vid this is from or where the rest is?
Magic fingers
rhythmically?
how does he get those Strat tones out of that Tele?
Must be those pickups
What magazine is this from?
Tone comes from the speaker.
Right and the way you strum each note influences the tone that will be activated within that speaker
Any tab?
