Another great RR lesson. Thank you.

Dude, being from Houston and being in the music scene in the early 80s and 90s to this day, they are my favorite band and dUg is my favorite singer ever! I have met all the members, actually used to play with the ex members of atomic opera that had Sam Taylor as their manager and I’m a huge Galactic Cowboys fan as well. I’ve already told my wife the day I go to meet my maker all my King’s X music go with me. All the guys are really genuine, very cool individuals. 🤘🏽 Nice picking sir👏🏻

Good stuff man. I am a fan as well. They are great songwriters and complement each other. Proof… that when a musician (or any human being) who throws their ego into the desert… can find attack water drop by drop until the water begins to flow.

good discussion. I'm a closet music/lyrics guy who's stepped into a world of tones, so much possibilities.Imagination regained new energy.

❤

Horrible! Secrets??? Hahahahaaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

excellent stuff, thx

" Mess and finesse" One of the greatest 2 guitar teams ever.

Broke out the good stuff whoow

I met Will in 1993 in Reno, Nv. We met in a music store (of course) and I was buying a G&L ASAT. I recognized him, but we just talked about music stuff for about 20 minutes and the only time i mentioned that i knew who he was was near the end of the conversation when i said how much i liked the new record and his use of the ring slide. He said thank you, and we moved right past it to talk about guitar stuff.

Rich plays the 70's classic Dean Cadillac and BC Rich too... I guess he should have a 'Rich Bich"...right..?

Blood Incantation mentioned 🥹

Mysteries & Mayhem off Masque...my fav

Well-played, sir! Nice fat tone and clean execution. To your point about people getting into Holdsworth gradually--I was pretty much an instant fan, myself. Like a lot of Gen X guitarists, I first heard him on that little flexi-disc insert of "Devil Take the Hindmost" in Guitar Player in 1985(?). I was a big Van Halen fan, and when I heard Allan, my first reaction was basically, "Wow, this guy's like Eddie--except he's even better!" Which I wouldn't have thought was possible. (And don't get me wrong, I still love Eddie, LOL!) But anyway, I liked Allan right away. Which is probably further proof, if it were needed, that I'm a big weirdo, LOL

While this is an excellent video, I believe there may be a slight inaccuracy. Tony Iommi has stated in numerous interviews that his primary influence for Black Sabbath’s heavy rock sound was Jimi Hendrix. As far as I know, he has never mentioned Eric Clapton or Jimmy Page as a major influence in that context

What year is your Les Paul? I have a 69’s reissue that looks identical.

This video demonstrates the skills of a true master and professional who, with his knowledge, confirms the importance of Mr. Jimi Hendrix's guitar playing. It's a clear rebuke to those casual commentators who, with no understanding of music or guitar, dare to criticize Jimi.

Great stuff!

I'm working through his book "Modern Chord Progressions" right now, and the section of the video at 5:14 nails the feeling right on the head. Working through each progression in the book feels like having an intimate 1-on-1 lesson with Ted Greene, where he's right there guiding me. The man was a genius, and just by opening up to any page and playing through a few progressions, it's apparent. Need to check out Chord Chemistry at some point, I've heard a lot.

I really enjoy the chord voicing and your willingness to spell them out at times.I apreciate your statement about not getting hung up on the what it is when you start. Hear,read.and do.The spelling will happen.

It's amazing cyhe sorry camera work for live bands and what they show is actually going on. Kansas definitely underated!🎸😎🎸

Probably the wrong video to post this, however; any chance of your slipping it in with some Black Flag?

I love so many guitarist you go to. But, you go to fast. Can you please just make your videos a little longer and slow down with your instructions?

adrain is a big time hero of mine met him and seen him many times thank him for tons of wonderful kc music and lyrics

Kansas was my first concert … I was 8 and my mom took me. The “monolith” tour.

Have you covered Point Blank?

I love Mick Ralphs guitar work. I saw in an interview that Kirk Hammett name Mick as an early influence. I thought that was pretty cool and says a lot about Micks influence on guitar players.

thanks never saw them live but played carry on in my band. Going to see them in April for the first time,so been playing carry on the last couple days

Love Kansas

Hey gang, not a big deal, but I did notice that I ended the last lick in this lesson differently than Rich did. I went up to grab the final Bb note, while he went down to grab it. Like I said, not a huge mistake, but I always try my best to play these licks the way they were performed. Anyway, it's the same note, just a different way of getting there! ROCK ON! 😏👍

Right On Dude...Love Rich Williams, very tasteful player!

I met Dave Hlubek when he was with SRA (Southern Rock Allstars), my brother's band opened for them. My brother barrowed my guitar, Dave signed the back of it for me. He and Jackson Spires (Blackfoot) invited me to set at his table after the show, and talked to me like we where old friends!!

David I'd like to request an under the radar player named Michael Gurley of the band dada. It's a 3 piece so he fills a lot of sonic space. Super tasty & inventive. Check him out & thank me later! LOL

Love me some Rich Williams! I'd recommend the acoustic solo on Two for the Show or the jaw-dropping guitar interplay on Lightning's Hand from the Point of Know Return album.

I met Kerry and Smokin Dave backstage in Greensboro NC after an idiot has set off a tear gas canister in front of the stage right before final encore. I remember those Dean guitars distinctly btw lol!

David, you overlook a great british guitarist named Andy Partridge from a band called XTC, from the late 70s/early-mid 80s. He had some great ideas. One particular tune I was listening to a few days ago called Life Begins At The Hop features the most unexpected chords by Partridge, if you single them out with a discerning ear. He was quite the guitar player without being too flashy doing solos. I would really like if you would listen to the albums Drums and Wires, Black Sea, and English Settlement, at least. You shouldn't be disappointed. Cheers!

I remember those old issues of Guitar Player magazine and the Dean guitar ads with the scimpily clad women.

He was never overlooked to me .... I saw Kansas several time and had front row at the little Stanley theater in Pittsburgh in 1975 ...I was so moved to watch Rich Williams' playing style....He wasn't a riff player, and he wasn't really a lick player, He played these tight, intricate lines that really gave the band that needed dimension. Thanks for bringing attention this awesome musician.

Thanks! Requesting Manny Charlton of Nazareth, Randy Bachman & Kim Mitchell & George Kooymans. Take care everyone.

Just keep bringing the Kansas !! Rich Williams , Steve Morse , anyone who was ever in the band !! Love em all !!

I saw Kansas during Monolith tour. Best show i have ever seen and I remember seeing Rich's guitars all surrounding him with the lights glimmering. Really left an impression to say the least

Kudps,for featuring Rich,here ,about time ,he got some love/respect ,Kansas ,are majorly overllpoked.

Dean player so am i Great job
