He is good but not very innovative when compared to EVH. Ritchie always came off annoyed in his playing and that single coil picket up really lacks tone. That said he is one of the fathers of modern rock guitar.
@@NyeGuy-yv2dv Not innovative? Then listen to the first 2 Purple albums, no guitar player played like that in the days. Listen to his solos on Kentucky Woman for example. There he played some lines EVH would have dreamt of. EVH was a good player of course, but he was way too much on a effect trip. You hardly hear any convincing melody lines in his solos. So it´s impossible to compare them.
@@NyeGuy-yv2dv A statement issued from someone who knows not what they say. Ritchie has done things (which I have personally witnessed) that are mind blowing, that all these shredders that everyone talks about wish they could do. As to not innovative. Give me a break. He invented the sweeping technique and the use of volume control to create a cello effect among other things. Listen to live Stargazer and then try to tell us he was not innovative. Unlike many players who play scales for solos (boring. hell let's listen to a guy practice, no thank you), he crafts solos that are memorable, that suit the music. And his tone... amazing, distinctive and instant. A couple of notes and you know it's him playing. You sure, you are listening to the same guitarist? And his technique is phenomenal. Geez.
@@NyeGuy-yv2dv He was innovative in bringing a classical edge to rock and also a great showman, of course. His technique was also far ahead of anything else at the time as well. I think the reason he played single coil strats is he liked the way single coils pop for his style. Same thing with Yngwie. I've always been a humbucker player, but I have friends who will not play anything but strats because it's the tone they love, what they hear in their head when they think of guitar. There were two kinds of rock guitarists in the 60s and 70s. Those who wanted more distortion and those who were okay on the cleaner side of things. Ritchie was more into going for volume and letting volume make his thin strat sound big.
No one can replace Blackmore as the deep purple guitarist, as great as Steve morse and Simon Mcbride are, the one thing that separates Blackmore is his improvisation, he’s not only one of the greatest guitarists ever but he’s certainly the greatest improviser!!
Ritchie BLACKMORE Is a wizard on his guitar 🎸 thanks for all of your music 🎶 iam 81years old November 8th the year is 2024 time is 22;39 i cont say anything more about this man is absolutely Fantastic guitarist 🎸 B P ARE MY FAVOURITE BAND 😍 😀
This version of purple was pure magic, they created hard rock as a genre, an incredible mix of blues and classical music propelling the technology of the day. Ian's screams have always had that "silver throated" unique texture with power and control, Roger was the best possible bass player to pair with the incredible Paicey (rightly recognised as one of the best of all time). As for Jon and Ritchie... well there's just some musicians which are beyond any comparison... Ritchie's flair made him a force of nature rather than a musican. I'm so grateful to have had their music in my life and to have seen them live. Don't diss Ritchie's limitations technically vs. today's top players, I love that he was open and fearless in his attempts to push his limits, and on more than a few occasions he was able to channel the universe and create miracles. Btw, some of his more polished technical playing is a match for any, but genius lies beyond, and he was definitely able to reach across to the other side.

Been Richie fan since I first played the In Rock Album on my GE Wildcat Stereo. I was just 9 years old. Bought it with the money from my Afternoon News Paper Route. We went to work at a young age in 1970.
Living Legend, one of the most skillful band in history and GREAT music. John Lord was also TOP, RIP! I have seen Deep Purple 3 times and once Ritchie Blackmoore's rainbow - and it was hugh!
Funny thing about Ritchie Blackmore is this: Among those who actually seriously play guitar his influence, style, and over all abilities are greatly understood as just flat out incredible. For the people who don't play or those who claim to play but in reality just happen to own a guitar he's often completely underappreciated.
Black more the best in my book love listening to him playing and love the band deep purple 💜 started listening 🎧 to them from the 70s and still listens to their music 🎵🎶💜💜💜
Ritchie is the best or one of the best lead guitarist, melodious wt ideas, solo style change, widest idea on the string.. Beautiful sound control always attractive to listen
This is fantastic footage. Musical heavens....the power behind those custom two hundred watt Marshalls he use to play are amazing. Heard from a source he had obtained one of them from the Hendrix estate after Jimi passed away. Like to know if that was truly a fact. Saw the '78 Rainbow tour up front on his side in my teens...at Winterland in in San Francisco. Mind blowing concert.
Ritchie Blackmore, without doubt the greatest ever guitar player, and one of the best musicians of hard rock history. The driving force of the two all-time best heavy rock bands, Deep Purple and Rainbow. Should be knighted.
Wonder why I wasn't obsessed w/ guitar playing enough to grasp the purity of the instrument, back when my older brother actually had a Gibson Hollow-body in excellent shape... there laying on his bed, while he was off hanging out w/ his male friends after work every day....
Так мощно и одновременно легко и непринужденно,но каждый раз по-разному! Всегда сравниваю игру Ричи на записи и концертную - никогда не бывает одинаково! Даже если ноты те же - сыграны по-разному! И это поражает, поскольку каждый раз открываешь для себя новое исполнение!
This is a three year old post and and seemingly zero replays.i replied in respect that he received little allocade's.I had carried on about how a lot of performers tour plastered because it the unreality of the lifestyle itself (jet lag, meeting deadlines ,and just plain strange hours for a very long time period).this guy does not receive enough credit though. I'm thinking the guy is an example of guitar and man. No frills. No echo. No reverb. No phazors. No wah pedals. Really no distortion boxes (just drive into natural distortion) natural distortion which equates to emotion,attitude,extreme passion.He has a grasp of elements more than most people. He is kind enough to share them with us. He does deserve credit.
Listen to richies lead in the recording ,smoke on the water. It is the cleanest, most flawless lead on record. Every note is clearly pronounced. No Misses,no whiffs, no dead ends.It is the most perfect lead on record.
The thing about Ritchie he can be so clean and again he plays great distortion. He said when he plays lies he makes a intentional mistake to let everyone it is the real deal. I just assumed because in the late sixties and early seventies there was so much lip singing and bands acting like they were performing live to the studio versions on TV. He has a so messy stuff that sounds fantastic. He was all over the place. I watch his Accustic Playing in Blackmore's Night that is so clean, perfect and enchantingly beautiful. He is so gifted. To me the best.
A tempestuous artist, very demanding and critical of himself and those around him. He hasn't always made great records, there's a ratio of hit and miss as you go through his catalogue, but whether his records have sold or not, he gives compelling performances for where he finds himself at that moment. He dislikes the studio environment, preferring instead the live arena where he can play by his wits faults and all. As a person he remains an enigma.
@@roughnight Nothing compares to Made In Japan. It is without a doubt the best and greatest live album in History. The energy of the Album is unmatched. It contains the two greatest solos recorded on Vinyl. The Vocal work on Child In Time with Ritchie's Solo is phenomenal. Then you add the original Energizer Bunny Ian Paice with the drumming kicks ass. Jon's Hammond Sound was cutting edge. To pick a top ten list of the best live albums is very difficult because there are so many in the early to mid seventies. But #1 is a easy pick.
No such thing as the best but Blackmore is an icon who deserves more national credit than he gets probably because he doesn't seek it and has a reputation of not being kind to others though he gave a career to a lot of people.
At 84 it was a very nice restart and it clearly seen they got great chemisty. How they managed to rupture again it's one of the biggest shames of rock. They easily could've written much brighter material well into the 2000s.
Yeah, but it's only been like 6 -8 years since his arthritis has really had an impact on his playing. And maybe you don't care for his BNight stuff (?) , but I like his acoustic playing as well. Have seen BN 12 or so times. Always has some really nice acoustic work in these shows, and he always breaks out the electric and still plays some really tasty stuff. He was totally on fire during the 95 Rainbow tour w/Doogie.
@@WilliamsDad1989 You can watch the videos of Ritchie in the late sixties throwing his left hand out and shaking his hand and finger's. I am would think the way he played he had some pain in his left fingers for Decades. And yes his Accustic playing is phenomenal to this day. Always finger picking with his long nails. He is a fantastic Artist and he can play any genre with ease. I am thankful he is still doing his thing at 76 I believe.
Blackmore is absolutely one of the all-time greats; when he was inspired, one of the most exciting hard rock lead guitarists ever. Never seems to play the same twice, and always the coolest looking player, except maybe Jimmy Page.

Yes, very good!
Heavy Metal my friend, he invented it, not Sabbath
Ahahahahahahah

The favorite guitarist of many, including me
Me too.

Saw the Burn your in Boston in 1974. Ritchie was spectacular. The band was too loud, I am a little deaf. Worth it.

Ritchie influenced me to take to the guitar. I've been his devotee since I was 16. I'm 64 now. That devotion has only intensified.
Ritche Blackmore..his play guitar with heart and soul those thing make him a LEGEND
I adored Ritchie Blackmore guitar play. Deep Purple forever!!!
One of my many favorite guitarists, and really loved Blackmore and DIO together,
Sure wish I could of seen Rainbow in concert
