Blues Shred Improv - Rick Graham

Hi guys, here's an improvisation using my newly acquired Ibanez RGPR2. Hope y'all dig!

You and Guthrie are my 2 main inspirations atm.

Damn 11 years later and this still hits🔥

That's what I like about Rick is the fact you can actually hear the notes he's playing. Some guitarists just shred like hell and it's a bloody noise. This is some of the best playing I've heard and wish I was a quarter as good as this guy. Well done Rick, you are a god!

So many videos about playing the changes. Play this video at .75 speed and learn everything you need to know about soloing over chord changes. Rick has just played one of the best 1, 4, 5 blues solos I have ever heard. What a talent.

Wow. Truly a blues from another planet. If most blues derives from the hardships endured by slaves in the American Delta, Rick's blues derives from the hardships endured by slaves in the Valleys of Neptune.

1:43 I swear that string almost broke, lol. Sick playing, as always ;)

[MrGunwitch]

The incredible thing to me is how relaxed you look playing this. Your right hand looks like it isn’t even moving.

On top of being among the best guitarists anywhere on YouTube, what a treat to watch a guy using four fingers with such mastery. Never seen a player with a more articulate pinky.

[PaDGuitars]

I can watch most guitarists on YouTube and follow basically what they're doing, even if I couldn't replicate it there and then.

Rick has that ability to just make me sit here and go "what the shit was that" and become completely astounded

[markl]

watching this for the hundredth time and just want to thank you for this

[garibuci]

This is so much fun. Had to hit replay several times.

[Ozelot]

You make it all melt... Thank you for these blue devils. I simply love it.

[bengarciamusiclife]

Pockets are full and you still cramming more in there!! Love it.

[rahiabrar]

What a tone. What a phenomenal player.

[douglasfeil]

I keep coming back. God....this is good!

[hilalabbas]

absolutely amazing. i can listen for hours to this

[jrpjr]

1) im a guitarist. Have been for 22 years...i must say, that was fuckin ridiculous. Bravo, sir.

2) how hard of a pill is it to swallow, having talent like this while knowing that a guy who calls himself 'desiigner' wrote a song called 'panda' and made top ten iTunes...

[bryansphere]

Gorgeous guitar. Never seen that color before.

[jimi]

WTF just happened ..had to watch this 5 times to grasp the fact you're really playing and its not my imagination...dam...you kick royal ads. Killer riffs.

[havp]

Both playing and tone are incredibly awesome!
