Doug is one of those guys that you never think of when talking guitarist, but this dude is on so many albums and performed so many concerts with so many big names. Whitesnake, Dio, some names that were giants in metal/rock

[kenkurosu]

Gotta love someone so talented who can say, "that was too advanced for me." Humility, respect,

[williambaker]

Very underrated guitar player. One of the finest artists, band member, and all around good guys in Rock music.

This is just like sitting across from your friend playing guitars and having your friend show you how he plays songs, including how he used to play them. Check out how hard he rakes the strings playing the ending of the 2nd solo. This whole video is just great, no posturing or ego, just playing.

This is more than just a YouTube post...it's a free lesson...just Doug showing how it's done...this is how we learned from our mates...looking forward to many more videos of Doug showing how it's done

It’s cool when a guitar hero is pumped to teach you about HIS guitar hero.
Doug’s enthusiasm is awesome here. I bet he’d be a great teacher

HI Doug!
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to discover the secrets of All right now!
You are very nice, very good and humble.
These qualities are hard to find nowadays.
A hug.

Doug Aldrich is criminally underrated. Every album that he has played on is pure rock'n roll!

[midnightblues]

Doug is a GREAT player and seems like such a really cool/nice guy. When I was a kid in Junior High School back in the early '70s, if you played guitar and could play "All Right Now" and "Funk #49" by the James Gang, you were THE MAN!

[michaeljames]

He is another one of those guys that needs to have a youtube channel. Teaching us some of that enormous talent he has for music.
I could watch him for 15 mintues each week showing off some of those riffs he has played over the years.

23 years ago, I worked on a project in Doug's home backyard studio. Doug is not only a very talented guitarist, but a genuinely nice guy.

[TerryWilsonModels]

Fun to watch someone that turns into a kid when he gets his guitar in his hands. I can remember having that kind of passion for the instrument. Master of his craft...

[edwardsmith]

Too me Doug isn't just a great guitarist, but I think he's very relatable & down to Earth. Seems like a great guy too, is what I mean.

[noahliberman]

Holy shit. A $100 lesson there on riffs, voicings, vibrato, tone. Plus he’s got a great ear. He nailed so many of the nuances that make those riffs great.

[danbutler]

Doug is such a great player and a wonderful teacher and commentator in this video. Love him!

[robertspreitzer]

Doug is just the man so underrated and he seems like a helluva nice guy.

[jmangi]

I love Free and Kossofs playing sure inspired me big time. The solo is simple, but pure perfection at it's finest. Thanks Doug for your awesome playing and teaching here, your a superb player and great teacher too.

I had the privilege of jamming with Doug in 2019 NAMM show at the Ronnie Montrose tribute concert I was very nervous before the show and Doug sat down with me and jamed with me back stage and made sure I was warmed up and ready to go coolist guy ever ROCKED THAT NIGHT

[Hanzey]

And doing this just from a Hotel room somewhere. . . on Tour
Shows absolute dedication to Music. . . .
His Guitar

"Allright!!" Your vibrato has done nothing but improved over the years Doug, amazing sustain & brutal whole step+ bends.

Remember taking lessons from you at Instrumental in T.O. back in the day. I'll never forget my 1st lesson with you, you had been on a Zepplin listening binge & 're'discovered the amazing songwriting range of Page thru the Physical Graffiti track 'Down by the Seaside'. We ended up talking rock more than learning that evening, had a blast!

So glad you made the big time amigo!
