    Richie is an all-around amazing guy. He has wicked technique with a pick, can totally shred with his fingers, and sings like Chris Cornell. I highly recommend his instructional video “Rock Chops,” from 1992. Prepare to have your mind blown.

      Don't insult Chris or Richie that way. Depp is a POS. Cornell died fighting for what Depp stands for. I'd beat Depps ass if I ever had the chance. That being said, thanks for watching : )

    Richie had one of the "Star Licks" VHS tapes back in the late 80's/early 90's that all the best guys were putting out (Gilbert, Al Di Meola, Yngwie, Greg Howe, etc.) and he is the one that really got me into the guitar. I was playing already, but once I got that tape, I began to take things seriously and I wore that tape out rewinding and playing it over slow speed. lol that was how we had to do it back in the day.

    Pat Metheny once said about Geroge Benson "if he wouldnt have switch to what he does and be playing jazz, we all would have been out of business". Same thing with Richie. He dedicated his whole career to write rock songs instead of keeping the shred going on. But he is a wild beast at instrumental guitar music. His first record is absolutely insane and he was 17 when he made it.

    I like his taste. There aren't many players in his style that play Tele's to me. I'm a rock/progressive player and the Tele is my main. I am actually looking to get rid of my last super strat ESP and just play Tele's. I don't play other people's signature guitars, but his has some great features. The body contours, pickup selection, and electronic choices are really nice. Not exactly what I like, but very cool.

      @@andthebeatgoeson69 That's the truth. Players don't realize how that great Tele body creates such a thick, screaming tone with the right pickups and amp. My favorite guitar is still my 90's Tele Plus with a humbucker red Lace Sensor pickup that can split in the bridge and a blue Lace Sensor in the neck. Thru my Mesa Boogie Mark V, that tone is amazing.
