No one else at that time had the technique to play like this, like Blackmore. Only he could have come up with that solo on the spot, improvised over 2 takes I believe and when they were running out of studio time. He’s the equal of any of his peers/the usual suspects. We all know who they are. They’re great ... no greater than Ritchie. This is the proof. Watch the remastered Concerto for group and Orchestra (1969)DVD. His 5 minute improvised solo there is further evidence. Yes. Correct, few people know that piece exists (It’s last performance with Jon Lord in Edinburgh 2012 got two 5 star reviews in the national press) or have listened to much of Blackmore’s output. That’s my point. He’s not bluesy enough for the Zepp lovers ( plus Clapton/Beck) and he’s not heavy or metal enough for the Sabbath crowd. Yes ... class of his own. Too musical for most music journalists taste (nothing there to wrap their English/Politics degrees around) Ian Gillan once said with a smile, “Purple are an instrumental group with vocal accompaniment”
@@glenchapman3899 On the album he is very disciplined. Not so much live and according to Jon Lord Ritchie never really liked playing rhythm ('he's a stunning soloist why would he?'). So when he doesn't overplay live, it comes from being a bit lazy actually
Blackmore used his good old gibson es 335 vs the tremolo for this song, he said it once in an interview... a combination vs a treble booster and an ac 30 or Marshall... whatever he plays those days. His picking is so harsh and at the same time much feeling. The fact is... 20 minutes to the end of the child in time session... Blackmore comes in the studio... and listen...he creates one hell of solo... classical metal music, a neoclassical godfather to a whole generation of kids and young people....the way he moves between the bridge and neck pickup is amazing.
Ritchie Blackmore is one of my all time favorite guitarists! His solo on this tune is just so spontaneous, and the tone of his stratocaster just slices through the mix. He does not play the same solo live, but damn this a hell of a take, so trippy, and the way he builds up the intensity until that unison riff with Jon Lord's B3 organ parts is like a volcano heating up until total eruption! Opps i'm getting carried away here lol. Thanks for this uploader, great stuff!
Keep in mind that at that time, Blackmore was the only guitarist who could play like this. What an incredible experience it was to see Deep Purple on this tour. I believe they only did 9 or 10 songs but aside from Highway Star every song was really long. Love the solos. Miss this. I describe Blackmore's playing as angry.
I love the way things song goes from calm ‐ uncomfortable - pain - agony - anger/frustration - all out rage. Each time the tension builds on top of what is already there.
I love how aggressive he gets on his playing, he is definitely in my top 5 of inspirational guitarist who taught me how to bring out my inner soul and be as one with my guitar!

como tiene que ser escuchar esto por primera vez en 1970 con las habilidades de guitarra que había en la época. Sinceramente que puto amo era este hombre para su tiempo jajaja. Es simplemente increíble que alguien hiciera esto por ese momento así de heavy y con un solo tan increíble. Black sabbath sería más heavy pero esta velocidad y solo junto a un sonido fuerte es de lo más heavy que se podría escuchar por aquel tiempo yo creo.
No one but Blackmore could have crafted/improvised/played this in 1970. No one else could play like this. Jaw dropping. Today’s scale wizards couldn’t have come up with this. They don’t know what to leave out.

Love to hear the isolated organ track...what jon lord played i know he used full drawbar or an click organ... sometimes i though: is some overdrive addet to it?
5:47 to 6:06. Given the fact Deep Purple wrote this as a protest song against the Vietnam War, I like to think this part of Blackmore's solo is telling of a violent confrontation in battle. Meh, just me.
Everyone is praising Stairway to Heaven, but for me, this is THE song.
Real rock listener knows who is the king of the guitarists.
You mean Jimmy Page?
i think he says Tony Iommi
Steve Rothery.

Ritchie Blackmore and Deep Purple's Child in Time =
best guitar solo ever:
superb technique and feeling.
It is hard to distinguish his rhythm playing from the organ/ keyboard. That is a compliment. He never overplays.
I have often thought that. His playing never seemed to reflect his persona. He really did know when it was time to just shut and stand there!
great insight, he really doesn't overplay.

@@adam0szersenon Child In Time i dont think he ever overplayed, he always stayed in his place
Child in Time live has 105 mil views...50 years later...epic that’s why!
no telling how many views on how many posts.
People dont realize this was Stairway To Heaven before Stairway To Heaven
@@glenchapman3899 wym dog this literally came out a year earlier
It wouldn’t have been on the radio for more than a couple months before stairway lol
the man is a genius a huge influence on me

You can hear all the details and sounds of ritchie's guitar that are hidden in the original mix, that's awesome!
Ritchie Blackmore always give us nice tone and also we can hear well. The best guitarist in the world
🤔🤔🤔🤔 I’d say this has got to be “The Man in Black” finest moment, the solo in this song is quite simply pure magic. 😳😳👍👍

"The tone of his Stratocaster" is from a Gibson ES-335. Blackmore came to Fenders later. But this solo remains fantastic.
I love how aggressive he gets on his playing, he is definitely in my top 5 of inspirational guitarist who taught me how to bring out my inner soul and be as one with my guitar!

One of my favourite ever solos !
Incredible discipline to keep it simple
I know folks say he recorded this with his 335 but that solo sounds so strat like especially when he flips to the bridge pup at 4:06!
it really does sound a lot like a Strat
FRom France . My favourite guitariste. So difficult to learn his solos of guitar But you progress very quick !
Isto é tocar guitarra de um modo fenomenal... Que mais dizer???
Thank you for sharing!!
about 3:25 is where the solo starts.
The GOAT
I think that he might have a future in this business...
I put this solo against any other solo for substance,aggression.tone and relativity
Awesome
Suuuper Suuuper GOOOLD!!!!!!!!!!
3:19you can hear him switch pickups! 3:35 you can hear him palm mute the rhythm guitar!
how did you make this? I have been looking for isolated tracks of this song for years but only found some of them in youtube
A very spesial solo
Thanks!
Great Gtr Solo!
The riff is - "Bombay Calling" from its a Beautiful Day
The middlepart is full guitar dominated.. It sounds liked the full sound, but it's 'only' Ritchies guitar
💜💜💜💜🖤 Mark 2 forever!!!!!
Incredibile
how it's done? in what program?
Love to hear the isolated organ track...what jon lord played i know he used full drawbar or an click organ... sometimes i though: is some overdrive addet to it?
Felicitaciones de argentina
grazie
Let's see Clapton and Page play this!!

When will people, especially Americans, realise this is NOT about Vietnam but about the Cold War.

Weed Me
This is the type of tune Z generation doesn't like.
Sounds like at the start of the solo he’s using some type of fuzz pedal set kinda low? Sounds absolutely incredible
