Thanks for sharing this awesome info! Blackmore is an aboslute pioneer and legend, who has been creating amazing music for his long carreer. Thanks again!!!
I’ve seen many top bands and performers but none as exciting as Blackmore. On stage he was the best to watch, you never knew what he was gonna do. And he played a million notes in a show. Fantastic. He was on fire
Iconic player,Blackmores influence can be heard in so many different legendary guitarists styles. My first introduction to the harmonic minor scale was through Ritchie. He's got so many exotic sounding licks. Great lesson.
Every now and then somebody just devotes a video to a minute part of a player's style. Thanks so much for these hidden treasures, kind of a resolve after listening to them after all these years. Great stuff - you rock!
That lick is originally from DP's live version of Mandrake Root where they improvise for like 20 minutes or something, you can hear it on California Jam version of Space Trucking
last year I rediscovered Richtie's playing and found a new appreciation for how ahead of things he was. I started listening to rainbow and deep purple and my thoughts were basically "yngwie before yngwie" on alot of the sounds I was hearing. Plus even just his look and big presence on stage is so huge and influential. Thanks for going over these licks man.
Blackmore and Beck were the trailblazers. Ritchie for his use of exotic scales and Beck for his modal playing. Few give JB the credit for being the first guy to really introduce mode-based songs to a Rock audience. Maybe a three-pack from Blow By Blow?
Just goes to show that guitar playing don't get you far if you don't have great singer. Page and Blackmore wouldn't be known if they did not meet Plant and Gillan. Uria Heep found out that hard way after they fired Byron instead of allowing him to recover
Really enjoyed this Dave! I saw Ritchie 4 times in concert. Once with the classic Purple line-up and 3 times with Rainbow (once each with Dio, Bonnet and Turner). Ritchie was always great! He's more reserved on record, but in concert his greatness really shows!
Thanks mate im gonna work on this today you kinda demistfied some stuff that has been staring me in the face for a long time this old boy gonna nail this today cheers
This seems to be where greats are born; I imagine they get so much info from playing with different folk that they become amazing, and they must have been decent just to be a studio musician in the first place.
Great lesson, you explained the scales well and I appreciate the attention to detail regarding the phrasing. Blackmore is hard to get, but you nailed it!
Great video! Ritchie Blackmore was a major influence on my playing, and still is. I'm the lead guitarist in a gigging rock covers band, here, in England. We play some Deep Purple and some Ozzie/Rhodes stuff in our set. He's one of a few guys (Rhodes, Gary Moore, Satriani and Schenker included) who encouraged me to step outside the bog-standard pentatonic blues stuff.
Dave. Great video! Really like your style of not only showing the licks but also putting them into context. Richie is a fenomenal player who deserves more recognition.
Exceptionally brilliant Dave thanks for this . Still love Ritchie s playing genius !!!, loved the seamless transition from back to front pick up during solos too.
Almost nobody ever gets anything right when it comes to Ritchie. I had this show on a vhs with a code burn in the 80's...so I was ready to be disappointed...but wait...! Excellent piece. Well done! I saw just about every SoCal Deep Purple or Ritchie show for decades...starting with 2 times in '74. I just turned 60 and it's sure nice to see people out there still paying attention to this stuff.
Great job on identifying Ritchie's phrasing. Ritchie continues to use those scales in Blackmore's Night. On virtually every live album, Ritchie uses the scales that you did such a great job of illustrating. Thank you!
This is becoming one of my favourite channels. Love the deep dive approach on the more interesting facets of a players style. Great work! With regard to Hendrix and Blackmore, I really feel the influence was one way, Blackmore was playing a 335 until Hendrix came along, at which point, like Clapton, he switched to a strat and then started to go crazy with the whammy bar like Hendrix. And Blackmore really discovered Dio and Coverdale, as opposed to 'worked with them'. They became greats due to their association with the master Ritchie Blackmore! Would love an analysis of Ritchie's Strange Kinda Woman live solo on Made in Japan, that is chock full of Blackmore's licks and I've only see one person on YT give it a go.
You are correct, Dio was in ELF who were a support band and Coverdale answered an add in Melody maker. Without Blackmore their careers would have been different.
I remember hearing Strange Kind of Woman when I was about 12 or 13 yrs old and being completely floored by his playing it sounded so intricate and perfect the way he would rip through solos.
Great video! I grew up hearing flamenco music, due to the family, and as a guitarist, I was using a lot of those "unusual" scales..."stolen" only from centuries-old Spanish guitarists, who invented the modern day acoustic guitar.
Another great video David. I'm lucky enough to have seen Blackmore play both for Rainbow and Deep Purple. Also saw his protege, Yngwie, play his first ever UK gig, unfortunately never saw Randy, but did see the great Uli Roth play in the 1980s. Would love to see a video of you dissecting some of his licks.
Thank you for this excellent overview of Blackmore's use of the harmonic minor scales and variants. Very well presented and understandable. It will definitely be helpful to my learning - I will be referring to this video a lot.
Hi friend. I usually watch your videos (although I understand quite little of what you say, because of my bad English) and this must be the first time I have seen you excited during the entire video. I hope you laughed as much as I did when Ritchie dropped his pick, precisely at that concert in Denmark. Congratulations on your analysis. Thank you.
You my friend are one hellaciously advanced , knowledgeable player. Where did you grow up? Incidentally, did you already give us a Schenker lesson!?!? I believe you recently did. Thank you forever!
Ritchie ,was the first,rock player I was really into[Made in Japan, In Rock,etc] the whole band are awesome ,but Rainbow were awesome[Dio era,mainly],I saw him in 1980,with Graham Bonnet,and he was an enigma ,some nights he would be on fire ,others ,looked like he didn't care, a character,for sure.
I play guitar for a living. You are my Yoda guitar guru. lol Great insight again; Blackmore has a mysterious and moody mode in notes and phrases, bluesy but almost vicious for the time..
On the last lick you showed, I liked that pinky finger harmonic "slap" on the 12th fret for the last note. Probably didn't realize you did it.It sounded cool 😀👍
What I would like to see is your take on his live playing with Rainbow in the 70's. Maybe some stuff off of the Onstage album. There are a lot of things to look at in the versions of Mistreated and Catch The Rainbow on that album. The intro to 16th Century Greensleeves also comes to mind. The material that he released with Dio was absolutely killer!
Another nice example of the Harmonic Minor scale, although much later in his career, is Blackmore's intro in Anya. His vibrato work has been phenomenal. Vibrato and tremolo are two separate, and distinct techniques. So, one thing you said irks me, " . . . and at the end, of course, he does a lot of vibrato with his tremolo bar," which is much like saying that a driver does a lot of speeding with their brake pedal. 😊
Great lesson on someone who doesn’t actually feature that much on TH-cam tutorials . After a few beers the other night my mate re introduced me to the Stormbringer album and I wondered if Blackmore would feature on LNL and then here he is . That’s called synchronicity you know 😂🇬🇧✌️
Great video. It has tied together something I just stubbled across as I tried to play along to (not replicate - I'm too early for that!!) Gates of Babylon. I found it fitted a scale that I had stumbled across a while ago which was minor pentatonic with major 3rd. It has that sort of sound. But your video ties it together with the proper theory :). Now I realise why I like RB and this scale sound.. The two go hand in hand and must be set in my mind from listening to this in the late 70s in my early teens :D
I can't believe I missed this first time around! A fantastic lesson on the minor tonalities scales, and a great insight into Richie Blackmore's playing style. Did you know that Richie only used 2 positions on his pickup selector - the neck or the bridge. In fact, he usually took the middle pickup out altogether and just screwed the cover down fully. Watching him play, it's interesting to note that his pick or picking hand is generally over where the middle pickup would be, so I guess it got in the way. Fender's Richie tribute strat had no pickup in the middle. :-)
Well explained insight into guitar theory and antics used by one of my rock n roll legends! Everything you mentioned is on par with what i gathered growing up in the late 70s and early 80s! The lesson was cool too. One thing I realized about Ritchie was things I noticed earlier on especially in the live footage available how he would seem to chromaticize some riffs very quickly like he did in "child in time live" almost spaz like but i thought it was very cool how he did it with such conviction.
By the way Blackmore discovered Gillan, Coverdale, Dio, Bonnet, JLT and Ronnie Romero. And half of them went on to sing for Tony Iommi... Including Glen Hughes. That's a lot of Rock Royalty stemming from Mr Blackmore....
Oh, cool! Hoped this one was coming. Love Blackmore. Nice one, Mr. B. (Er ... rewster., not lackmore, I mean). And, if i might add, i really like your vibrato.👏 if Neal Schon comes up soon, it will make my Christmas. Just sayin’ 😉
I may be a little late on this one due to the facts that this video is 3 years old.. But i just wanted to thank you for covering up some of the scales Ritchie use, and show us on the guitar. I play guitar myself and have recently commit to be better in terms of scales, techniques and music theory in general and the more I learn about all the theory and styles of great guitar legends, the more I understand what an impact they made in their times.. and still do of course. Im talking about names like Blackmore, Hendrix, Malmsteen, Page etc.. My personal goal is just to be aware of all the greatness guitar legends have given us and just practice it and give it a personal mark.. and of course to have fun with it and rocking out! :) P.S Who is your favorite guitarist?
Ritchie is a living legend of guitar playing.Back in the 80s Dio was my idol,then I discovered Rainbow and found that the same guitar player was in Deep Purple 😮WOW 🙌🏼🎸..Live long and be well Ritchie Blackmore. By the way I just discovered Uli Jon Roth 😉
I really dig this guy's style. I'm learning a lot. One positively-intended format suggestion: Start each video with a clip playing the lick and then work back into the dialog; which are both equally as entertaining and educational by this pleasant instructor. I skip to the first clip I see of the playing and backtrack to the explanation. I suppose I do this because I like to hear how close to each player he actually gets sonically and then hear how he arrived to such vivid interpretations of specific guitarists' styles. The way he uses the artist's signature guitar on his video pic to explain who's style the video investigates is creative marketing ingenuity.

Ritchie is so incredibly underrated. Great lesson!
Talking trash
Ritchie wrote the best leads. Also for his time & in his genre he had superior technique. Great lesson Brother!
Amazing lesson
Gates of Babylon was Blackmore's Zenith in solo's...never heard anybody master that! It's a beast!
Another great lesson :) love Blackmore's playing, a real trailblazer. Always underrated by the British rock press back in the day.
Wayne Scott ____ Not on account of his playing. On account of being an arsehole.
Those snake charmer licks are pure gold.
That lick is originally from DP's live version of Mandrake Root where they improvise for like 20 minutes or something, you can hear it on California Jam version of Space Trucking

Great, thanks for showing ritchie's licks, nice one, will try them, more please
Big time Deep Purple fan. Thank you for this!
Blackmore and Beck were the trailblazers. Ritchie for his use of exotic scales and Beck for his modal playing. Few give JB the credit for being the first guy to really introduce mode-based songs to a Rock audience. Maybe a three-pack from Blow By Blow?

@@vitalygoji Nonsense.
JB seldom hit a note in tune.
@@vitalygoji - Yeah, coz Jeff Beck just nose dived after ditching Rod Stewart! XD
Richie Blackmore said of Jeff Beck - "He has notes on his guitar that the rest of us don't have". Richie was a big fan of Jeff's playing.
Awesome!!! Glad you did Ritchie Blackmore!! Thank you!!
Thanks for the lesson. You are so right about Ritchie's legacy and influence.
Really enjoyed this Dave! I saw Ritchie 4 times in concert. Once with the classic Purple line-up and 3 times with Rainbow (once each with Dio, Bonnet and Turner). Ritchie was always great! He's more reserved on record, but in concert his greatness really shows!
Thanks mate im gonna work on this today you kinda demistfied some stuff that has been staring me in the face for a long time this old boy gonna nail this today cheers
Ritchie Blackmore, most all were influenced by him, but only the best of the best could add his style to their playing. Another great "Late Nighter".
I adore Ritchie Blackmore.
Another great player who started off as a session guy,such a wide body of work,rock,metal,power pop,minstrel!
This seems to be where greats are born; I imagine they get so much info from playing with different folk that they become amazing, and they must have been decent just to be a studio musician in the first place.
LOVE THIS VIDEO! Thank you!
Appreciated the exotic scale overview to start there. Another great lesson. Thanks!
Great lesson, you explained the scales well and I appreciate the attention to detail regarding the phrasing. Blackmore is hard to get, but you nailed it!
Thanks for adding in the background stories along with your lessons. It really adds to your content.
Ritchie's my boy. Good job with this. Your my one and only teacher for now. Excellent player you are.
Awesome stuff!

That's the most underrated guitar solo ever. Still gives the chills
Thanks Dave ... Thanks a Lot!!
He used pick up switching a lot ,sometimes for one note then,back,very ingenious.
Cool lesson mate..well put together.
One of his favorite groups where the Swedish band ABBA he said in one interview, that he loved their songs structures.
Your commentary is great..not just your lessons... Was never a real big Blackmore fan..but you treatment caught my ear
Another great one
Damn man... The early Rainbow days... I can hear all these licks all over yhe olace from the 80s till now
Great video! I grew up hearing flamenco music, due to the family, and as a guitarist, I was using a lot of those "unusual" scales..."stolen" only from centuries-old Spanish guitarists, who invented the modern day acoustic guitar.

Blackmore influenced Hendrix - My God, I never considered that! >Mind Blown
Hendrix influenced ritchie
@@giannisvar4414 tons of people influenced Hendrix.
I saw Richie at the electric circus in new york. Playin a red 335 doin their first hit hush. Great sound straight into a marshall.. 1967 i think
The best you tube channel
Love your lessons mr Brewster
Just found you man. Definitely digging the vids!!!
Wow, thank you very much for this awesome lesson!
Definitely my favorite you tube channel

I hope you laughed as much as I did when Ritchie dropped his pick, precisely at that concert in Denmark. Congratulations on your analysis. Thank you.
they're all good, but this is one of your more valuable lessons - many thanks
First time I listened to that Hungarian scale was in an old David Chastain's lesson.
EXCELLENT!
You my friend are one hellaciously advanced , knowledgeable player. Where did you grow up? Incidentally, did you already give us a Schenker lesson!?!? I believe you recently did. Thank you forever!
thank you such great lesson! Loved it
Ritchie! ❤
Another great video!
Licks from the 70es Al Di Meola or from the late, great, Ollie Halsall would be very welcome 😉

Excellent lesson! Another one of the same era guitarist who used exotic scales is Uli Jon Roth, maybe you can do lesson on his licks.
Sails of Charon!
~ STAY TUNED ~

Noticed that, too. That was sweet. 11:15
LATENIGHTLESSON, Joe Stump uses a lot of those double leading tone scales, maybe you can make a video on Joe Stump licks
Richie was guru of the guitar, but you are a guru of presentation his style

do you have an example of lick, he used in the @you fool no one , in the end of a song?
Blackmore was his own worst enemy but what a player!! HUGE influence on me when I was 12 (along with Hendrix)
By the way Blackmore discovered Gillan, Coverdale, Dio, Bonnet, JLT and Ronnie Romero. And half of them went on to sing for Tony Iommi... Including Glen Hughes. That's a lot of Rock Royalty stemming from Mr Blackmore....

So how about some tone note, chord change, whole tone bends etc from Mr Gilmour?
You should have done his licks from California Jam in 1974!
For me, Blackmore is up there with Van Halen... A guitar virtuoso 🤘

Really like your guitar, is that a sustainer at the neck ? A vid about guitar would be interesting
More Blackmore, please!
Great lesson, may I ask what amp you use, that distortion is great
Ritchie Blackmore invented neoclassical music in rock.
Blackmore is a legend
YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!
Hell yeah. Gates of Babylon. Phrygian dominant through and through. I constantly revisit that song on TH-cam. Dio and blackmore at their best.👌
Harmonic Minor's Phrygian mode is Phrygian Major due to the major 3rd / natural mediant.
What about the Ritchie lick that Hendrix pinched from Terry Kath and SRV pinched from Ritchie? You know the one. The 'major excursion' I call it.
