In this solo, Ritchie goes from heavy riffing to blues to classical with such ease. Few guitarists can match such skills, proficiency and musicianship. It's not about who plays the fastest, who can shred. It's about creating a mood, saying something musical. Ritchie is ace among aces.
@@bjornborg056 Totally agree. I have seen him shred and burn up the strings that the so called shredders would be jealous of, then he turns around and plays the most beautiful passages played with great emotion..
@Chris Manzi I have those DVDs. Phenomenal playing. And when Ritchie shreds, the runs are more complicated than shredders of today who play scales, triplets in box patterns. Ritchie does incredible weaving, really complex playing.
Ritchie was way ahead of his time. Other guitarist like clapton and pagey can’t touch ritchies skills on guitar. What a brilliant technical player. Nobody can improvise like him. Nobody! And I say it , and I’m a big Steve Morse fan!
I think that's a stretch. Page was a studio session player. On par with Ritchie. Everyone has to make their guy the best. How about they were all awesome?
Yes I havent heard alot of deep purple but people tell me about them and ive been listening to Richie now for a little while I've been studying. Clapton for a couple of years can play some of his stuff but I still don't really know how to understand where his heart was not really I usually think zeppelin was on some other planet but purple here is kind of on that platform maybe. Iove alvin lee also but im thinking 10 years after was a different platform also anyway I like what you said about they are or were all just bad to the bone on guitar .!once again I most of the time still like this music compared to newer stuff .
Agree, Ritchie was way ahead of his time. He had some strengths that no others had....but Hendrix,Page, Clapton and Beck also had strenthgs that no others had as well. At their high level, rating the sounds and music these icons produced is "in the ear of the beholder" period! Saying one is the best becomes opinion only! Many guitarists, reviewers and the public say Hendrix was the best rock guitarist of all time. That seems to be the one universal thought.... but even that's an opinion. Musicians do in a way compete, but unlike sports competition, can't really determine a best.
You can see the "buddy Rich" influence in Ian paice drumming. tight crisp rolls and fills and explosive movements and cymbal strikes!! One of the best at that time!
My favorite example of this is from the (I think) Granada live show in 1970-ish, during Mandrake Root's han section Ritchie turns back very dramatically and points at Paicey, signaling it's his time. th-cam.com/video/Iww-YgmNZ2w/w-d-xo.html at approximately 1' 40''.
I honestly don;t think there is a better guitar player ever IMO. Riffs! fast! Crisp and Clean :-) Been listening to guitarists for many years now, always on you tube listening and thinking about my answer to my question and this decision has always been playing on my mind, Richie Blackmore!!!!
Simply beautiful !!! 1970s and early 80s, the best years for hard rock and heavy metal music !! My father has the original "Made In Japan" vinyl from 1972! A real gem for me !!! Greetings from Italy
Satriani maybe still crying about Blackmore comments ! And he must be face the facts : not always be 100 technique is a good guitar player is more like a robot and copy the Hendrix teeth technique this makes me sick because him and Malmsteen and many more doing the same thing and sometimes I get tired about this technique and this the reason why Blackmore is better than Yngwie and many more maybe Hackett on les Paul is another authentic guitar player . Is not bad copy but sometimes is a lazy thing and Long live to Ritchie Blackmore!!! 🤘🏻
Thank you for so succinctly putting it. I am not a musician I even caused my schoolmates a great deal of time of laughter when I was asked to sing in the classroom by myself anyway,what I'd like to add is that Ritchie plays so accurately and so musically no matter how crazy or fast he is doing it and he is always on pitch too. I think the closest person to him able for such feast is Mr. Shenker of UFO. What say you?
I've seen Deep Purple many times, they are one of my favorite bands. What I really liked about them was no two shows were alike. Ritchie's solos were always different..
Never knew what that mad bastard Blackmore was going to do next. Utterly compelling to watch. I remember I first heard this when I was about 15 and couldnt believe what I was hearing. Paicey though..... Jeeeeeez, what a fucking brilliant drummer.
I feel this is one of the greatest guitar solo's EVER!!! Love it more today than the first time I heard it as a teen. I Have learned so much by Ritchies playing. He has Been one of my biggest influence for guitar. But I will never even come close. There is only 1 RITCHIE BLACKMOORE
Improvisation. That is what this band is all about. It's not just Ritchie. Ian Price. Jon Lord. You hear they don't play the same way every day. They are very unique band and that is why I love them.
You watch Richie Blackmore improvising. I was very lucky to see him perform live with his first rainbow tour. And I said to myself all those Deep Purple concerts I missed I wish I'd gone to every one of them.
To be honest, my admiration to RB is not his showmanship. But more to his brilliant skills as a songwriter, and producer. His songs and licks are eternal. He seems to have a midas touch in his hands and turns everything into gold!
Not Midas Touch but Magic touch that only but a few possess in a lesser degree the closest being Michael Shenker then Clapton etc...but none with such ease and class as Ritchie
Very true however lyrics are largely lacking in depth. It was predominantly about his showmanship, which easily became boring despite his guitar mastery.
Blackmore is my favorite player along with Hendrix and Van Halen. Blackmores playing is really angry yet with a classical bent. Its also really interesting unlike many shreaders that people seem to be in awe of. His minor chords make his playing more moody as well, maybe dark. He also has some seemingly very simple solos that are so well crafted into songs unlike many the typical 1 2 3 solo 4 5 that seem artificial or pushed into songs.
Ritchie entertains his audience. Apparently Tommy Bolin was watching this at home and later commented about Ritchie blowing up his amps and almost setting his britches on fire. The two guitarists met shortly after Tommy got the gig, and Ritchie said Tommy never changed his strings.
Listening to Richie, I have the same impression as I had when I listened to the young Yngwie for the first time, with Alcatrazz. Amazing, ahead of their time, the top of the game. Nobody could touch these guys
Jon Lord and Ritchie were the Masters most responsible for the Sound but all melded together to make great music-I think with Gillan is the most classic awesome sound
@@gregflip5938 yes, it sure is. Also, Ian paice's Drum solo seems to fit perfectly as well as John Lord's. Fantastic keyboard beginning. Made in Europe was a treasure I found when I was 14 in 79. I'm 53 now and still listen to that lp with enthusiasm.
Isso é épico, de uma genialidade de músicos fora de série, realmente são de outro patamar, e é incrível como blackmore, paice e lord se entendem no palco. 🤘🏻
This is a Masterpiece of guitar playing! That's why Blackmore is a genius of electric guitar ! Combination of melody and hard playing guitar at the same time with tremendous success
Ritchie rips one of the best solo's ever and the crowds like who is this guy,even Page said l couldn't touch Ritchie's improv's and Page was one of the best!
Excellent post! On side note, all my guitar heros happen to play the Fender Stratocaster; Ritchie Blackmore, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Johnson and Yngwei Malmsteen. Phenomenal instrument that strat!
This song was on "Made In Europe," which I bought at age 16 from Rolling Stone Records when it came out. I must have listened to Made in Europe about 1000 times.
This is actually "You Fool No One" from the album "Burn" with extended parts that include Ritchie Blackmore's "interpretaion" of the blues, "The Mule" and the closing phrases from "Lazy".
Andrew Chandra ….. most certainly!!! ….. Yngwie's biggest influence by far is Ritchie Blackmore …. He even has stolen all of Ritchie's signature moves not to mention Ritchies song writing style from His Rainbow days and other obvious guitar Licks …. weather any of these youngsters now a days know this or not ?
I don’t know how to play guitar, but I know this is fucking awesome!

100% correct! But he could also shred and play fast, he'd match anyone. His feel and storytelling is surpassed by none!
@@bjornborg056 Totally agree. I have seen him shred and burn up the strings that the so called shredders would be jealous of, then he turns around and plays the most beautiful passages played with great emotion..

Потрясающи!!!Это Deep Purpol во всей красе!!!
Шикарная виртуозность Ричи!
Я смотрел полностью этот концерт,Блэкмор там такие кренделя выписывал в конце-бедная аппаратура!
Love how Richie always lets the band know where their at by raising his arm. Richie is the ultimate badass.

Been one of my biggest influence for guitar. But I will never even come close. There is only 1 RITCHIE BLACKMOORE

Harold D Burke tell all your family about the great times . I have told mine 😀
King of guitar forever!!!!!!!!!!!

The Hughes / Paice / Lord rhythm section was so funky, and they'd only come together 10 months before, amazingly tight playing
Ritchie Blackmore maestro de maestros grande con diferencia el mejor
Ritchie is a beast at the Fender
To be honest, my admiration to RB is not his showmanship. But more to his brilliant skills as a songwriter, and producer. His songs and licks are eternal. He seems to have a midas touch in his hands and turns everything into gold!
He wasnt into songwriting (different from riff writing) and I've never heard of him producing?
Not Midas Touch but Magic touch that only but a few possess in a lesser degree the closest being Michael Shenker then Clapton etc...but none with such ease and class as Ritchie
And don't forget his skills on talent scouting also, he seemed to always find the best vocalists to fit into the songs perfectly.
Very true however lyrics are largely lacking in depth. It was predominantly about his showmanship, which easily became boring despite his guitar mastery.

Так и есть.😉
British rock at its best .....no one can match it
We are blessed... just enjoy it and stop comparing
There might be a few names that have contributed to rock and roll that aren't British..... just a few...... no need for comparison.
El grupo que se escucha en sus discos y el esenario igual son musicos de corazo aman la musica
Amazing... DP will remain in our hearts for all life....
Пейс просто слов нет, чтобы описать его игру!!!!
Only one word on Ritchie and DP: TOP!
Un adelantado a su época indiscutiblemente un super guitarrista creador de grandes piezas de rock
3 words. Unequaled Rock God.
Риччи Блэкмор - непревзойдённый мастер гитарной игры. 👍👍👍
Love his Blues Solo in the middle……...Great Strat Tone !!!
Mr Ian Paice! Simply the best!
Ritchie - талантище от Бога !!!!! Да Здравствует Deep Purple и все его создатели на все века на всей планете !!!!!!😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍
Perhaps Ritchie's finest moment alive.
Listening to Richie, I have the same impression as I had when I listened to the young Yngwie for the first time, with Alcatrazz. Amazing, ahead of their time, the top of the game. Nobody could touch these guys
His solo on the "Live in London" 74 is even better. Overall, Live in London have also a much better recording and sound
Guitar beast!
At last! This brilliant guitarist is finally getting the nod for his unique showmanship
Absolutely one of my favourite Purple tracks from one of their best, if not the best, albums🤘🏻
The blues intro becomes a portion of the "man on the silver mountain " later with Rainbow.
Ian paice is a God amongst drummers
Excelente grupo de Rock AND Roll.
The really rock and roll best band on this planet ever.
Thanks for this post.

Ian Paice. Good golly miss Molly he is truly incredible. One of the greatest. Period. Love his style too.
Hail to the king
Ritchie again proved to be a guitar God!!!
Wow! classical and blues mixed with some rock, what a legend, almost forgotten about I feel, he's is in my top 5
OMG , Amazing Genius .
Paice is a very humble fantastic drummer, who's playing in a tuscan DP cover band i love it.
Best guitarist hands down
Was there at 16, still the top concert of my life and I have been to about 20.
its great to hear all little miscalculated nuances and limitations of live performance. He is of course an absolute perfectionist in the studio
No puede tocar así este tipo, realmente un maestro de la guitarra
Ian paice super😎👍💪💪
The song is called You Fool no one. The best version of the song can be heard on the Deep Purple Made in Europe live lp.
