Richie Kotzen Discussing and Playing I'm No Angel by The Winery Dogs

Richie Kotzen was our guest for The Flo Guitar Enthusiasts Radio Show on November 11th, 2013. During the show he demonstrated the beginning lick to the hit song "I'm No Angel" from The Winery Dogs debut album. He also discussed how the song originally had the chorus from "Elevate" in it, but was later changed per the suggestion of Mike Portnoy.
At the end of the video, Richie does a quick little guitar jam to take us out of the show.
Richie plays through a Roland AC-33 acoustic amp.

[@chimster1234]

Such a great guitar player one of the best riffs I've heard in a long long looooong time

[@sillennium]

It is a good riff sounds easy but it isn't

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

That is so great. Love the guys that are all about "the work". You can tell this guy is just totally absorbed in music. Oh yeah, and he's also an unreal singer, writer and mind numbing guitarist!

[@sillennium]

Shutup & Play - Guitar Tutorials thanks for stopping by. Richie is a great player for sure. The Winery Dogs are the best rock band to come out in years!

[@AlkalineTrooper]

I originally found Richie Kotzen and The Winery Dogs whilst looking for a new pickup for my telecaster. I came across the Dimarzio Chopper T and Richie's name was on the list of artists that used the pickup so I decided to check him and The Winery Dogs out, so glad that I did, I haven't heard a band that is this musically brilliant in years.

[@sillennium]

Laurence Nettel I agree, The Winery Dogs, my favorite band in a long time!

[@muriloninja]

Oh wow! Jesus Christ! lol

[@JohnBrown-hk6bm]

I hear a load of Country & Blues in here, Richie is such a huge talented player & that Tele is the absolute biz, the mutts nuts, & the dogs bollox all in one!!

[@sillennium]

He is

[@atabish3031]

Hopefully the Winery Dog's will give him the fame here in the States that he deserves

[@sillennium]

I think he is doing alright. :)

[@atabish3031]

+sillennium he's huge in japan and overseas but not many people know of him here he says it himself in an interview with portnoy and sheehan..clearly this is a win win for him because he's already an established solo artist..to be honest i like his band more than the dog's

[@fuzzfadel6141]

underrated musician/guitarist.....bloody talented n awesome. love his songwriting.

[@sillennium]

He is great

[@delano1901]

[@GregTorresGuitar]

Such a cool dude

[@sillennium]

Nice

[@slickcross]

Just discovered Winary Dogs this month. This guy is an amazing musician, singer and song writer. Do they have an official tab book online? I want to learn how to play all of their songs.

[@sillennium]

slickcross I am not sure if they do have TAB of their songs. I would do a google search. Thanks for watching.

[@TRI2BEME]

Richie... I will always love your playing,choice of guitars, and effects....and that voice!!!! like i told you in ATLANTA, 2nd only to STEVEN TYLER...NO OFFENSE, LOVE! OXOXOXO ALWAYS A FAN FROM WAY , WAY BACK... CHA

[@BC08]

Honestly, Richie is a MUCH better singer than Steven Tyler.

[@sillennium]

They are both amazing singers. Richie is better technically, but Steven Tyler has the advantage of being instantly recognizable.

[@BC08]

sillennium True, but then again I’d say Perry Farrell also has an instantly recognizable voice and yet he has one of the worst “professional” singing voices I’ve ever heard. I’m not putting Steven Tyler in that category as he’s obviously also a very good singer, but people can be recognizable for many reasons. IMHO, Richie has Steven covered in vocal ability/technique/tone. Richie is as about as good a rock singer I’ve ever heard, I’d put him up with several very well known, household names without a second thought.

[@scottsill626]

@@BC08 yes of course agreed, Richie is the total package musically vocally and on guitar. He in reality a lot like Ian Thornley should be name everyone knows.

[@iamjarrettdean9358]

Dude is just sick. I just got one of his Teles and wish I had 1/10 his ability to play and sing

[@sillennium]

Agreed!

[@stevenRF1]

Cómo se llama el tema que suena al final del vídeo cuando se toman la foto con Richie?

[@sillennium]

Ok

[@ZMIJUSH]

What a badass.

[@sillennium]

He is. He's the total package

[@TarshishedCactus]

Richie Kotzen and his giant hands making things look easy

[@sillennium]

Yes he does

[@johnfritzenjr.1240]

Goat

[@sillennium]

🤘

[@trystan23]

You are a fucking MASTER 🤘🤘

[@sillennium]

He is a master

[@ardiancereyes]

where's the link to download the full broadcast?

[@sillennium]

Our show is off the air, but I have them all archived. I will have to upload them at some point soon.

[@ardiancereyes]

@@sillennium yes, thank you, sir. i'd love to watch the whole interview. guess that goes for everyone else here, as well. 🤘🏼

[@ReverseThisCurse46]

can anybody gimme a link to the whole interview??

[@sillennium]

Lalchhan Bawitlung the link is in the video description.

[@ReverseThisCurse46]

oh lol... okay thanks xD

[@olshov111]

I like this guy! Why he refused to use pick?

[@Karburante]

cause he's been using it for the past 20 years

[@olshov111]

Hernan Gonzales So, a lot of famous guitar players using picks more than 20 years and still do, there is probably some other reason. I'll ask him next time on his concert.

[@sillennium]

ol shov Check out the link to the full radio broadcast; he explains exactly when and why he doesn't use a pick.

[@olshov111]

ok, thanks!

[@ItsNotaTuhmah]

He stated the pick restricted his phrasing, with his bare hands he's more free to do what he wants.

[@theopoiesis]

RICHIE I D O L O

[@sillennium]

Nice

[@joewhiting6057]

richie jamming like jeff healy at 3:40 lol

[@sillennium]

Nice

[@CaptainFantastik1]

So who are the 149 clowns that down voted this?

[@rorino58]

MOFOs ;-)

[@70mcnevin]

"Poison" fans

[@jamessass2799]

Right??? WTF

[@sillennium]

Poison fans, that cracked me up

[@cliffleavens1990]

He really is the bollocks, aint he?

[@sillennium]

Yeah

[@pauloamw]

It must be really hard playing a complex riff and sing. It's only natural that he follows the melody, it helps to sing along.

[@sillennium]

Yep

[@vlad071096]

The greatest riff made since "Money for Nothing"

[@sillennium]

Cool

[@genephillips4809]

Hmmm… I always thought he played a B bender on this.

[@sillennium]

Nope all in the hands

[@Celeste0415]

No way Sykes would have come up with such original stuff. I like Sykes but they would have sounded like everyone else on the planet. Thank fuckin god for RK

[@sillennium]

He is the man

[@bobolsen8067]

What a great player and singer Ritchie has become!When i saw him in the 80,s it was pretty bad but now he has become one off the best players out there!And i love that he only olays with his fingers now and no pick.It gives him origininality.I know Jeff Beck has done it since the"the beginning off time but Ritchie is a way better player.In fact i think Beck is probably the most overated player ever along with Kirk Hammet...ha.

[@sillennium]

He is

[@11kirky]

You are watched, monitored and edited on here, try it.

[@sillennium]

Huh?

[@prsfanatic74]

Is this some kind of threat? I no understand
