From Hot Streak (2015). Hot Streak is the second album by the American hard rock supergroup The Winery Dogs. In Guitar World's interview about the album, Richie Kotzen says he brought back his signature Cornford RK 100 guitar head and used it on about 90 percent of the record. The interview does not name the guitar for the sessions; his main guitar is his signature Fender Telecaster, which he has played since 1996, so it is listed here. He describes the album as a whole, not this song. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
