Rick Derringer Tribute Video
I pay tribute to the extraordinary guitarist, singer, and songwriter Rick Derringer, who has sadly passed away. Rick Derringer was not only a pivotal figure bridging the hard rock of Ronnie Montrose and the revolutionary guitar work of Eddie Van Halen in the late ’70s but also a uniquely versatile musician who effortlessly crafted unforgettable hit singles alongside deeply emotional guitar solos.

In this tribute, I reflect on Rick’s varied and influential career, his remarkable talent for blending catchy songwriting with soulful guitar playing, and how his music deeply resonated with generations of rock fans—including myself.
Please share your memories and thoughts about Rick Derringer’s legacy in the comments.
Let’s celebrate the life and music of a true guitar legend together.

This video is dedicated to Rock Derringer’s family, his wife Jenda and fans around the world.

Thank you
Phil
