If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Gary Richrath would be flattered to death with so many people playing one of his greatest songs ever. People don't imitate mediocrity, they imitate greatness.

[@andy-doublebarrelhouseband5686]

Well said!

[@genewaller1002]

Gary is the most underrated guitarist ever

[@walter770]

brother you smoked that!

[@hardtimes1267]

I smoked one too.

[@vinylfool]

A couple of years looking back at this is a: stunning, b: that overdriven bend at 2:57 is a soul shaking reminder of Richrath's technique. Bravo sir!

[@Edman116]

Gotdam! That was brilliant!! A great song no doubt, and you played all of the best parts expertly.

[@mpfefferlen]

Richrath's playing was so tasteful.... you killed it!

[@trumpingtonfanhurst694]

What a gift seeing this played and recorded like that. Thank You.

[@billcantrell3760]

The best rendition I’ve seen yet, great job!

[@jstop9]

Love hearing that songs licks. Great job. RIP Gary.

[@GlobalMiles]

Bravo. You even had the swing! Wow, was Richrath good.

[@immerrocknroll]

Very well done! Gary was one of the great US guitar players.

[@jetzielo.rodriguezcrespo3039]

Indeed he was

[@chrissargent8398]

Gary had such a unique playing style.. Nice job!!

[@randho5150]

I think the guy on top, who's head you can't see, covered it the best! But good job to you too!

[@rusharley2080]

One of the best guitar songs ever. Well played my friend, well played.

[@edarnold1426]

Perks to you! You did a great job, but no one seems to be able to do it or sound like Gary did. Gary was the R in REO, after he left they never sounded the same. Thank you my friend for keeping his playing alive!

[@patrickolee27]

You are the man!!! Gary would be so proud of you

[@premierfantasyfootballleag6924]

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!!!!

[@turkeeg7644]

Great lesson. Richrath was all that and seeing it layed out like this is great. The mix of major and minor and those little squeal things he did, brilliant. Always playing for the song. He had that cranked sound but made it fit. REO was an amazing band. We all know where it went. Thank you for posting this. I got some practicing to do.

[@gojoe36]

Kicking Ass...nicely done

[@BusterRoonie]

👍🏼Nice job brother!! I like to compare myself with others like yourself (no slouches). 🎸

[@Janicemaxwell]

Damn good job! RIP Gary.....

[@someoneelse6934]

An under rated rock tune by an unfortunately under rated guitarist. The bend passage starting around 00:47 is unlike any other that I know of. Great job. Gary would have approved.

[@mikelopez9817]

Great stuff my man. R. I. P. G.R.

[@jktrader37]

Man !! That is some MEAN A** Guitar playing !! Incredible, really, but you are making it look easy ! ;-) THANK YOU !!!

[@richardjacquez1361]

That was excellent.

[@superglassbucks6356]

Nicely done and to the point. Got me over the hump on some small parts.

[@davidallen527]

Nice showing great talent on a tough song to play Legends live on. Thanks!

[@johnkahler1378]

That is solid, thanks!

[@benderbear762]

I am a new subscriber. I just stumbled on a video of yours from 10 years ago and I was surprised and happy to see you are still making new videos :)

[@69Curtdog]

String bender master !

[@edwardcarey5363]

Crushed it. Well done sir 🎸

[@leeclements2335]

Nicely done!!

[@georgelackey622]

Good job, Man! I was doing Ridin' The Storm Out an hour ago on a '62 SG Special!

[@1brusco]

That is the best cover of Richrath on this song . Roll on bro !

[@jimclifford1241]

That give me chills! Thanks man

[@rich-moporter]

Outstanding!

[@ukstd1]

Brilliant - thanks for making this, GREAT playing!

[@shelshaffer4352]

Great job!

[@carldavis1407]

I clicked on this with reservations because this song not only kicks MAJOR ass, it also has my most fav Richrath riffs. I must admit, my fears were unfounded. If I could "Like" the video twice, I sure as hell would. Rock on, brother...I'm sure Gary approves :-)

[@LEADSOLO]

👍

[@shelshaffer4352]

Sounds pretty accurate. Easy to hear the guitar part this way. Can't wait to sing and play this with my band after the pandemic. Thanks!

[@timzyrkowski9461]

Yes, the best rendition I’ve seen as well. You and I hear important things that either aren’t in the song or most all covers over look. The rakes that start a phrase, the octave jump to the subtle scale up, all as important as any note. Would have loved to have seen/heard you split screen the main solo. GREAT JOB!!!!! Thanks for this!

[@LEADSOLO]

👍

[@JohnHWelch63]

Nice job! Sounds great on that SG too.

[@wallyhooker]

Great job! Thank you so much for this lesson. Love how you crystallize just the guitar parts.

[@chairmanofthe13]

Great playing! The people that gave this a thumbs down should be tracked down and publicly flogged. I'm going to check out your website!

[@jamestrodden6017]

Dang, just ridiculous how you don nailed it. Perfect! Thanks!

[@GregoryGreock-hz2mg]

Just watched this video. Damn good job.

[@malcolmwinfield3506]

Love songs that start off at TEN. This one is a great example. Larry Carlton's playing on Don't Take me Alive is another. Not sure if those are octave bends everywhere around the neck, but they look painful. Nice job!

[@toms3664]

You are a monster!!! Thanks so much sir

[@1peanut]

Excellent. Love that tone. Thank you.

[@texasflood69]

Excellent!!!

[@mauriciovillegas3773]

Wow, so far away from others I have seen, on this great song, you rock man!!!

[@andrewmartinez2958]

Very, very good work! Real impressive!

[@_P0tat07_]

Dave Amato is so underrated. He’s phenomenal

[@frankiethefixer]

Gary was a beast on guitar. R.I.P.

[@heyokadave5828]

Nice work good sir!!! Thanks for the knowledge.... I will utilize it... keep up the great work!

[@richardklingel7803]

[@caseysweat9449]

That tone is so juicy

[@indianajones5037]

Perfect

[@Robv73]

perfect!

[@grizz1887]

Great sound!!!!! Sounds very similar to Gary's sound. What amp settings did you use and what effects did you use?

[@Willjrockstar]

thanks for doing this man, youre saving me some time and headaches. My eyes aint the best and internet is a little slow and blurry ( issues here) but damn if you dont look like John Goodman lol

[@tangoflank]

That was a great……… where’s that solo lesson link. 👍🏼

[@igorpilawski2989]

A+

[@davemarcum9549]

good job dude

[@davemarcum9549]

good job!

[@jeddyhi]

Nailed it.

[@abdullahmockbil9984]

Nice

[@hodge1970ify]

Amassing

[@joemeier659]

You nailed his tone. how did you get that tone?

[@LEADSOLO]

After I learn it sometimes I punch in and record one line or another and see how it compares with the original. Then I make adjustments and do it over again... And just repeat this process. Also as far as effects.. www.leadsolo.com/lead-solo-blog/what-effects-am-i-using

[@a320nick]

Good, bien, bon, multo buono,

[@boboneill6721]

this is why i paid for all the tabs...they are so accurate! can you share which pedals you’re using?

[@LEADSOLO]

I'm playing through a boss gt-001 direct into a mixer.. So I'm sure I chose several common effects including distortion compression Overdrive but I can't remember exact settings.

[@lawrencetate145]

Couldn't wait to see this one! How can one do that with being loaded on booze, cocaine, and adrenaline?

[@redcopenhagen1821]

Years of practice XD in the midst of learning this song

[@kevinstaggs5048]

You just played that as if you were teaching the solo to Gary himself. I'm sure if he were alive he would say that you are an awesome guitarist.

[@lnhislmage]

And there you have it folks. When you can rattle off stuff like this without even trying , you know you’re starting to get good! Sad story about REO . They were an excellent band throughout the ‘70s with a large cult following but that all changed in 1980 when they sold their fans up the river to produce bubblegum pop. Their new brand of lame love songs put them on top of the chart and provided the band members with healthy bank accounts and countless underage female fans while their original fan base disposed of their albums and concert ticket Stubs embarrassed for ever liking REO. Their wimpy new bubblegum style dealt a heavy blow to their image as a serious rock band and negatively impacted REO’s place in rock history

[@redcopenhagen1821]

Dont hate... I know your stating facts but to some people thats an opinion... Reo will still go down in history as a great 70s rock band

[@patrickferrara6668]

I LOVE REO's stuff from the 70s trust me. But Hi Infidelity is still a great album even though a bit softer. Don't Let Him Go is rocking hi-energy. REO plowed through TEN YEARS of great rock from 70-80 If they changed in your opinion to softer rock with Hi Infidelity ... well, they paid their dues for long enough and it was time for them to get paid financially. Just because they decided to "produce bubblegum pop" doesn't mean they automatically become successful - the songs still had to be really good. And Gary still made his mark on the "lame love songs" especially Keep On Loving You with a piercing solo. You cant say Take It On the Run is a much different style than many songs on Tuna Fish - just because it had the success it had doesn't necessarily mean it was a sell-out song. And ... Kiss had Beth, GNR has November Rain, Journey has Open Arms, Motley Crue has Home Sweet Home etc... on and on. Why is REO the only band that seems to get wrecked because of their softer songs but not bands such as these??

[@pedaphelps]

I'm jealous as hell. I'll never be able to play that well

[@Braxton432]

mk phelps With enough practice and patience anyone can

[@glenostrander]

Fantastic!

[@davidbrasefield9151]

Great job!

[@jeffbrown7408]

Awesome!
