Richie Kotzen

An underrated guitarist, with monstrous technique, a frighteningly good feel, a great voice, and a diverse range of genres. I recommend the instrumentals "Electric Joy," "The Inner Galactic Fusion Experience," and the projects with Greg Howe to get closer to his eclectic "guitar playing," as well as "Mother Head's Family Reunion," "Wave of Emotion," "Get Up," "Into the Black," "Peace Sign," and the Winery Dogs for his approach to song structure and his best vocal performances.
