One of my favorite guitarists... from technique, style, feel, attitude.... dude has it all. Would love to see him join a killer lineup that could spit out some heavy blues/hard rock type tunes. Possibilities are endless for DRapps.
 
Oh yeah. He's really the complete package, IMO. Him, and Martin Miller have really had my attention last couple years. Martin is another "complete" player.

Yep...that's all he has for solo stuff... Does plenty of demos and has enough killer riffs and licks there for 2 albums +. Still plays with Edgar Winters band...

Yes for sure, he's a monster. Pre COVID he had a killer AC/DC tribute band going here in PDX called the DC's, they fricking crushed it. Stephen McSwain of McSwain guitars is the singer. I've posted these before but they're worthy :




 
Monster player who could be playing with anyone. Love his phrasing, dynamics, note choice; a very soulful, emotional player. He just Kills it demoing Bill Landry's amps. In case some missed that:



One of my favorite young players in the Rock/Hard Rock vein.

Holy shit was that killer! Incredible band, and that singer fucking nails it. I’d follow that band around. :rock:
 
Great guy and such a great player! Love ya Doug!
 
Yeah, +1
This guy is some kinda awesome. :rock:
I love his demo for the Duncan Saturday Night Special pu's.
In fact, I like just about everything that I've ever seen from this dude.
BadAss for sure :cheers:

Wow, those look top notch. I’m not really into the aesthetic, but his attention to detail is amazing. I dig the aluminum binding and inlays on the ebony fretboard. I’d love that on a silver V with black hardware.

He’s got some killer custom hardware too, check out the knobs and stuff. Expensive bits and jewelry for your guitar but damn. He hinted at more projects in the works with Doug too, should be good.
