    Hi guys, hope you enjoy this track 'It Never Rains' which is from my debut album 'Insideout'. The track is essentially about having courage through dark times and how adversity is an aspect of life that we have to deal with in order to make us stronger. There is an old saying that goes: 'It never rains, it pours' also 'When it rains, it pours' and it is from the former that the title for the track is taken. Anway, enough babbling from me, hope you enjoy the music. Please like and share guys. Cheers!

    2024 anyone ?
    This song hits down my spine hard. Rick has been a huge influence for me. All the phrasing and techniques you do really made me fall in love with your composition and musicianship. ❤

    Bob Marley once said, some people feel the rain and others just get wet. Really enjoy your work! Beautiful and graceful! Thanks and peace!

    Heard this song for the first time as a senior in high school A year ago. I was dealing with a breakup I'm still not quite over but this song always helped me feel at peace. Thank you Rick

    One of the best guitar songs I’ve ever heard - I’ve been listening for over a decade from time to time 🤘🏻

    Thanks Sean! Most certainly, I'm working on new material all the time so there could possibly be a 2013 release. Always watching your stuff, keep on kicking ass bro!

    Great melodic guitar solo! You want to hear more and more.. Like a movie, you need to know the end. Sometimes small pieces of solo are so impressive, like in 3:18. Simple, however with feeling. I cant understand why 50.000 guys listen the solo and only 855 gave a like... Crazy....

    Rick you deserve much more appreciation. This solo was simply brilliant

    The whole thing is beautiful, but to me as a guitarist of 20 years the passage from ~3:53 to 4:15 is just breathtaking in its combination of musicality and technique - Rick, you are a extraordinarily rare example of someone who uses total technical mastery of the instrument as a way to facilitate musical and emotional expression, rather than just being an "end" in itself. Hats off to you sir! PS can you get this one tabbed please? :) Just went to your website to buy the lesson but it's not there ...

    master. that last repeating lick at the end of the solo, so much feel. painted a musical picture in my head. fucking phenomenal technique meets great melodic writing. keep it up Rick I think about your brother, I know you do I hope you are making it okay man, much love.

  • @Gattobuono
    @Gattobuono 10 лет назад

    Rick, one of the great things about your playing is that you know what to leave out. There's nothing superfluous or gratuitous about your style. That's so refreshing in these days of vacuous technical showmanship. Thanks.

    Rick, thank you very much for sharing your unbelievable gift of music with us. It is so TRULY refreshing in this day of musical stagnation to hear a genuinely talented artist expressing his passion and love for music in such a masterful way. Please, please do not ever put that beautiful instrument down. Your extraordinary gift is far too valuable! Thanks again.

    Not an overly complex piece; however, that may have been the most fluid and graceful transition out of a two-handed tapping sequence and back into individually-picked notes that I've ever seen.
    Flawless.

    Phrasing for days, Rick I remember the first time I heard your playing was about 2 years ago when you put up a free download of your album on the JPforum, and I heard it and thought it was fantastic. Still think every track on there is just mindblowing. Any plans for a new solo album in the next few years?

    Hey, that's awesome! I've seen of your others and they are fantastic as well. I first found the Spain teaching video. I see you have an Axe-Fx II. Do you ever upload patches to the FAS website? I'd love to try to duplicate the sound (but probably not the playing :-) at home.
