Just heard this on the radio on my way home.RIP to one of my guitar heroes and a fine human being.
I'll add to what someone already said about his version of Just Like a Woman....simply the best.

That 'Homespun' Instructional DVD he made some years ago.....is a real treat. Like a private lesson with the man.....and great to watch just for looking in on the chat with him, his relaxed and humble manner, his history, his insights, and for the wonderful songs he plays.
Here's the link:

What a great man.
I'll be playing his music here today........and wishing him well on his journey.

Thanks for the music Richie. It would be sweet to see Guild/Fender give a nod to the man!

The first thing I thought of when I heard this on the way home tonight was "Here comes the sun" as the sun was big and orange getting ready for twilight.

Surprised to hear the news. He will be missed. The first real big concert I went to was one of his back in '72.

This has to be one of my favorites, The makings of you....
This used to bring me to tears, thinking of my daughter, after we were separated.... The most beautiful love song in my eyes.....

So elemental in his playing. Very sad to see him go.

Yeah, sitting here feeling a wave of sadness come over me then this kind of technicolor image of Richie comes into my mind, he's wearing a kind of green African type shirt with yellow patterns around the neck and he's smiling and saying, 'Don't be sad, rejoice...and with a wave of his hand as if to generalize the world out there, continued there is so much to be happy about...' maybe this wasn't imagined, either way thanks Richie..you are so right.

A huge loss. His cover of "Won't Get Fooled Again" is my favorite version.

I discovered him a only month back through this forum. Such a tragic loss for Guild and music.

One of the best live performers I've ever seen. And one of my most memorable musical experiences was hearing him sing "The Turning Away" a capella.
