That's brilliant! Love it.

Completely missing the ghost notes on the snare drum for the shuffle, which are kinda *the thing about that groove*.
Otherwise, excellent.

I think we can forgive him not nailing a Porcaro/Purdie shuffle in 4 hours given his obvious keyboard and vocal talents :-)

Also not the highest spec digital kit.

I wasn't really being serious.

vasselmeyer

Outstanding. He nailed the outro solo which  I have tried for years to get right. I just tie my fingers in knots.

Voxman

Fabulous, just fabulous - superb musicians and studio skills.

I found Richie for his Helix vids but the Band Geek Stuff is amazing - the range of songs is huge - they nail them so well
Richie's Channel
Band Geek Channel (discontinued)

Anyone who does a Jellyfish song is ok by me!

Richie tours with Blue Oyster Cult just now and also Danny Miranda - the bass player in the Band Geek vids was the guy who played with Queen when Paul Rogers was in the band.

Watch his 'Where's the F**king Beat' videos - very good and funny

That guy is a great singer, and those solos!  Amazing stuff.

Great Stuff...
Didn't know Chappers and "the Captain" could play this well ........or as many instruments

Hmmm the Yanks get these guys, Pete Thorn and Tim Pierce
The Aussie's get Brett Kingman and James Ryan

We get Chappers and The Captain. 


At least we are not German...... Henning Pauly anyone?

Aussies have Chris Brookes too, that guy can rip it up.

I have to say I don't mind Henning .......Half guitar critic and half comedian (I use that term loosely as he has that very peculiar German sense of Humour ) - He's like a cheeky little Egg
 The 2 annoying things about him are the amount of waffle and the coffee ......that awful slurping from an oversized mug drives me crazy .........he does have some interesting points from time to time -He is not doing quite the same thing as the others.......
 Brett Kingman / Shnobel/ Mike Hermans and Pete Thorn are not trying to run a comedy guitar show -they are purely product demonstrators ( like Andy Guitar shop ) and I suspect they are product endorsees.
As far as playing and the ability to put an effect / product into a musical context I think Mike Hermans is miles ahead of the others. 

stratman3142

Outstanding. I'm very impressed.

BintyTwanger77

Hate that song so much, but brilliant musicians, absolutely nailed it.

Like a broken record here but in terms of product demos, Doug Rappoport is just out there. I love a new demo day!

Dominic

Yes but a bit limited to Knaggs and Friedman
