Premier Guitar ran a nice article on Ronnie Montrose yesterday and in it they included a recent YouTube of Ronnie playing his signature tune, “Rock Candy.” I remember when I first heard that riff. It was in the locker room before football practice. With Ronnie’s power playing and Sammy’s vocals, that got me totally riled up for practice. Ah, the memories…
In any case, here’s the video. I believe he’s playing Baker guitar (he was very good friends with Gene Baker).
That’s absolutely fantastic guitar playing. Great sound. I can understand that song getting you worked up for football practice.
