I've been trying to be like Doug for a last 30 years. So far I have the hat and the shirt.

[@dwg116]

I would love to get some of those leads transcribed and practice that till i got that smooth!

[@MatsHeyWire]

😂🤣😂😁

[@truescotsman4103]

the stuff he does isn't that hard its how he plays it that's wholly unique. his amp helps. the picking attack and sustain are what a real guitar player needs and it helps tremendously. ive been playing the same vintage marshall for 27 years never thought id find another amp that satisfied the tone itch but the be100 definitely delivered. tone is in your head you have to find the gear that lets your fingers make it happen.

[@knaggs71]

@@truescotsman4103 Listen to the no guitar is safe podcast doug is playing through a old solid state yamaha dg-100 amp it’s definitely in his hands….

[@hesch-tag]

In many ways the perfect guitarist. One of the few who can really blend blues with rock and shred and he always has a breathtaking tone. The variety in his playing and his choice of notes are always fresh and tasty. What a discovery.

[@eyedunno8462]

Half a decade in the Friedman BE-100 is still king and the best tone Doug has ever been heard through

[@cardbored_]

Doug is a guitar players, guitar player. I don’t think he realizes how much we love his playing.

[@Sixxiron]

Doug, PLEASE, for the love of all that is holy, MAKE MORE VIDEOS!!! I'm blown away every time I see a new one!

[@DougErapps]

Thanks Brad! There will be a lot more videos. I'll be demoing all the Friedman amps!

[@maxlemiremusic]

Please Doug, make a demo of the Friedman BUTTERSLAX!! :-D

[@chasingtone5748]

Great Video and playing! Does the BE-50 have this much gain?

[@jlunch]

Chasingtone yes

[@vincenttaylor9691]

Dude you are with out a doubt one of the most complete guitar players on the planet !!!

[@andrewcompton3366]

You know there is something wrong in this world,When pop stars get all the credit and there is someone like Doug with all his talent,gets very little credit for being an absolute genius on guitar.

[@birdmanbl]

i cant seem to get enough of this riff, production, tone, and talent...lol seriously though it doesn't get boring....so rad!

[@kahmhalen4094]

Doug you make the best videos. On the road and needed a guitar fix so I came here.

[@johnmturi4155]

Rock, blues and shred all tastefully done. Nice!

[@buzzsaw63]

This is probly top 5 videos I've watched on you tube and have watched a grip of guitar vids! Just amazing!! 1:11 - 2:00 just UNREAL. Wow. Loads of fun to jam with too!

[@B2Rockin]

I know the BE Deluxe models are out there now but damn, you just sold me on the old and faithful BE 100. Damn bro!!!! 💪🤛🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻

[@RoccoPezzin]

kickass tone and playing man!

[@markdarby4755]

That was just mastery of the instrument, at it's finest!!!!!! Dave is one of my Hot Sauce customers and I will be getting a BE100, but I'm sure gonna have to practice night and day to get it to sound anything like this video, Doug. Your phrasing, varying step bends, cliché choices, sweeps, etc.....are just brilliant! You marry tasty technique and soulful choices.

[@guitarzilla]

Now that's exciting rock guitar! ☆

[@stevedellay]

Only one way to describe your playing, Doug.....Guitar with ATTITUDE !!!

[@Clayton-t5i]

I've seen them all Doug, Eddie, Vai, Satch ,Petrucci, Bett's, Bonamassa, and all the big rock band guitar players. Then I saw you in Shirley, MA. in 2015 and when you took your solo (Edgar Winter Group), I had f***** tears. I know what I saw, I know what I heard. You are 100% World class player. I hope to find you out there again.

[@DougErapps]

Bro….🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤘🏻🤘🏻…….!!

[@pawcio247]

Holy shit. Thats some skills and amp tone is just on fucking spot.

[@KyndesCovers]

OMG! This is one of the best performances I've ever seen on youtube. So much feel. That sound. I wish Joe Bonamassa would watch this and learn a thing or two :) That AMP is a killer. Wish I had the dollars for It. But wish even more i had the skills of your fingers. Hats off!

[@chrismiller1661]

Damn- those bends and vibrato. Watching you is like a technique clinic.

[@birdmanbl]

Mr DR..you are the doctor sir...amazing note selection and diversity of runs and super hook..im sold!

[@wizardsouthJP]

if I could play like Doug I would sit at home all day and just rip...wait - nah I'd then go tour around the world like a boss

[@1970borntorun]

And unlike Joe Bonamassa, Doug would actually play with a voice and personality of his own and not sound like an Artificial Intelligence Robot playing cliche and tired Blues quotes with ZERO personality.

[@tonystees]

I just threw all of my shit on the driveway and lit it on fire !!!!!!!! Why bother !!! .....lol Just Killer tone and incredible playing Doug !!!!! I look forward to the next !

[@CenCalPlayer65]

Simply Brilliant!!!! The Knaggs guitars are incredible. Have a new Knaggs Severn arriving on Friday...can't wait.

[@JakeBaynes]

Doug.. This is still and for ever will be my favorite video to watch on youtube!!! Seriously you are god at guitar! I bet you could make a 10$ practice amp with a torn speaker sound AMAZING! Im devoting a huge part of my life to learning to play close to this.. I said close.. Meaning not even in the same continent as your playing.. Do you have any albums?! I would love to listen to you play on the road.. Seriously you are a massive inspiration to me!!!

[@Loutube2006]

Absolutely incredible guitarist and amp combo. That's a nice blend of technique and feeling!

[@anthonycosta2662]

Every time I watch this I have to run and grab my guitar. Very inspiring. Fantastic.

[@zakk1983tdm]
