Thank you Ritchie for all your music done since 1968 . I was 7 y old when I heard your Guitar for the first time . Now I m 63 y young :))) I can’t get enough of your specific guitar sound and technique
How Ritchie is not considered the greatest all around guitarist in the World is Beyond me. He is brilliant also Acoustically. No one has the body of work Ritchie has done. In all that work he has never repeated anything. He has the best tone ever and when he feels like it possibly with Hendrix the best performer ever to be on stage period.
Blackmoore just has something special, magical, ethereal, sorcery, to his sound. It's just otherworldly. He's by far the most recognisable axe legend, and probably the best slide player ever too.
You nailed it.He doesn't just do scales up and down the neck.He searches for different notes every night.He was at the peak of his technical abilities in this video. I preferred his tone and some of his playing in the 70's,but there is no doubt that technically he is better here.Pretty great!
agreed. very like Buddy Guy in he knows how to play it loud then soft, play it fast then slow, knows how to trade off with other players, ie Jon Lord. He also one of the few (like Jeff Beck) who can start a solo, go off on a ten-minute tangent, then at the end bring it right back to where he left it and finish the piece. And I like how he just kind of floats his hand behind the neck delicately "tapping" the notes he wants to play that's kind artful to watch! Truly the most amazing and entertaining guitar player we shall ever witness.
There are many Top-Guitarists - Al di Meola, Eddie van Halen, Santana, Mclaughin, Knopfler, Page or - of course - Jimi Hendrix. For my ears and my taste of music Ritchie wears the crown!
@@deansusec8745 Toni R mentioned Knopfler. He was good. Ritchie was just a little more exciting than the other guys. I have seen just about all the greats except for Santana and Hendrix. I had my Son's friends ask me who I thought was the best. I always replied all those guys we're damn good.
Se a dicho que Hendrix fue quien empezo pero sin duda Blackmore es quien dio el toque para una nueva generacion de guitarristas electricos es el padre de muchos otros grandes guitarristas de hoy dia. Sin duda el mejor!!!!
Last time I saw Ritchie play was ‘84 Perfect Strangers Tour. He was in a good mood that night, and it showed. His level of improvisation is levels above most, and he left the audience hanging on every note. Incredible.
Hundreds of Americans watched and listened to Ritchie Blackmore and thought: 'wouldn't it be great to have all those diddly-diddly fast finger runs all through every song for 4 hours'. No, it wouldn't. Ritchie knew that you can have too much of a good thing.
Blackmore es Rock!!! Su sonido es muy orgánico y hace que todo pareciera fácil y sólo él lo puede hacer sonar bien. Hay miles de covers de guitarristas profesionales tocando sus solos, algunos famosos y no tienen el mismo sabor.
Nella tourneè di 'Stanger in us all' penso si sia acoltato il miglior Blackmore dai tempi della MKII ... in quei concerti Ritchie era veramente on fire !!!!
the legendary ritchie..it's always riveting and addictive to watch him..once u start on a video, u have to go to the next, and the next, and before u know it, it's way past bedtime! luckily old timer like me have all the time in the world to watch this guitar god, and deep purple, and rainbow...good way to start my day each day, and a good tune to end my day each evening is son of alerik instrumental piece...awesome!
I was there in Germany and, still today after more than 15 years, it is unforgettable...the closest contact between God and a guitar...Everything around was simply blinded by the feeling of his notes...The only true guitar legend in rock...
@@flavio3770 nice feedback.....but, 22 yrs back now, memories are still vivid as 7 yrs ago when I wrote the comment.....the one and only maestro in rock......his Fender passed from sweetness to heavy metal in a blink of an eye......still today unforgettable
Richie Blackmore is clearly the best Guitarist ever he stands out Miles better , Genius,aster Showman and I like his dry Sense of Humour, his absolute bare faced cheek and gets away with it. Only Richie Blackmore can do that.
Ricordi vivi di stupore e meraviglia nel solo "impossibile" di "child in time" in "made in japan" quando ancora non v'erano video e tutto era immaginazione! Un vero monumento regalato ai posteri.
I've always been a Ritchie Blackmore fan, since I got the Deep Purple in Rock album for my 11th birthday in 1970 ! I remember the Deep Purple (when Hef introduced them) at the Playboy mansion ."Purple till I die" . Lol 🌌
I watched him break a finger Interrot concert deep purple in the late 80s he smashed his Stratocaster broke his finger and he picked up another guitar and played the whole concert and never missed a beat and they even wrote about it in the newspaper the next day Phoenix Arizona
I completely agree with this statement because Blackmore is the rare addition of technicality to musicality, which most guitarists have rarely combined ! ..
He is a gifted musician, quite brilliant technically but damaged by a father who never praised him as a child. When Purple played Jon's Concerto in 1969, Ritchie didn't want to do it, but he played the best parts by far, and when you consider that his demanding father was in the Albert Hall that night, it perhaps explains why this highly sensitive man played his best. He didn't do it for Jon, he was playing to his father.
@@elwoodvonblackmore6260 The Illustrated Biography of Deep Purple, by Chris Charlesworth. Child In Time, the biography of Ian Gillan. Powerhouse album sleevenotes. Sounds Deep Purple: Britain's Best HM Band. If you had been a fan as long as I have, you would have known that. Thank you.
I think, Ritchie, did some of his best, playing, with the, Doogie, version, of, Rainbow. Also, every player, who, has played with him, will have, benifitted, in some way, in, their, life.Blackmore,is not just talented, he's very, hard working. Aren't we so lucky, to benefit, from, his great, songs, & wonderful, guitar playing, & presence? Yes, we, bloody well, are! Long live, rock n'roll!!
He's one of my favorite guitars in the world. I don't think anyone could best him in his heyday. Just because other guitars may be more popular in America don't mean they're better. I'll take Ritchie Blackmore over Jimmy Page 3 times on Sunday. I like Tony Iommi better than Page. Just me, everyone has their opinions.
First time I noticed what a scalloped guitar neck he's playing. Saw DP play the first live performance of Machine Head in Providence, RI 1970ish for $4.50 from the 4th row. I was 14. Literally shook the seats we were in. Ritchie played the whole show pissed off, futsing around with his Marshall stacks, etc. but boy could he play guitar. Whole band was smokin' that night, basically did the Made in Japan album set and crushed it.
Ritchie is the greatest rock guitarist of all time.
😢❤
Google 6😊😊
The greatest of all time... To an unparalleled melody and a cleanliness of the sound that not to any other guitarist..
Truly I say, Ritchie does not need guitar, the guitar needs Mr. Ritchie Blackmore
I want to thank Ritchie's Dad for buying him a guitar and sending him to lessons. I can't imagine had never listened to Mr. Blackmore.
Thank you Ritchie for all your music done since 1968 . I was 7 y old when I heard your Guitar for the first time . Now I m 63 y young :))) I can’t get enough of your specific guitar sound and technique
My favorite guitar player since almost 50 years!!
53 !
Touch and cleanliness of absolute sound.. The best of all time...
Even when Ritchie plays fast you can still here every note.
Ritchie it's a Master, a genius, for me one of the Best guitarrist of the world, thanks God that we discovered and enjoy when he lives.
Пусть живет долго.Величайший талант.

People are stupid 🙄 that's how. Top 3 on the world easily. Ritchie Blackmore is a guitar god.
Sin lugar a dudas el mejor guitarra de todos los tiempos su sonido esespecial nadie lo puede igualar grande Ritchie !!!
Ritchie Blackmore is absolutely fantastic
Way ahead of Clapton, Beck and Page
Ritchie is one of my favorites, but nobody is better than Jeff beck, maybe just as good in his own way , but not better
I don't think so. Deferent Stiles.
And Hendricks
@@johnboylan3591
Yes John
But just behind Rory
@hectorchavez3405 no body better than Beck, but Ritchie Blackmore is 2nd. He is a Mount Rushmore guitarist.
Una poderosa maquina del Rock...el genio BLACKMORE.....!!!!!
Ritchie Blackmore is probably the most underrated rock guitarist of all time.
2:18 2:44 Don't think so 😊 period.
I agree, rolling Stone had him at the 50th greatest in the world. What a joke he's top 3 in the world.
How ??
@@Fuxerzthose magazine are jokes anyway
Richie is my favorite guitar player ever although people will argue he's my favorite period
Ритчи ты лучший!Маэстро,целую твои руки.Благодаря тебе мой сын полюбил классическую музыку.
In Russia there are so many guitarists like Ritchie Blackmore.
Blackmoore just has something special, magical, ethereal, sorcery, to his sound. It's just otherworldly. He's by far the most recognisable axe legend, and probably the best slide player ever too.
Ritchie definitely plays the 12 notes differently than all others.
Ritchie Blackmore is one of my favorite guitar heros.
Girl talk. And cute too. Still.
A guitarist that knows how to shred music not just scales. Absolutely the greatest guitarist to ever walk the planet
Yeah Ritchie is my favourite..
You nailed it.He doesn't just do scales up and down the neck.He searches for different notes every night.He was at the peak of his technical abilities in this video. I preferred his tone and some of his playing in the 70's,but there is no doubt that technically he is better here.Pretty great!

He is not only fast but musically outstanding
There are many Top-Guitarists - Al di Meola, Eddie van Halen, Santana, Mclaughin, Knopfler, Page or - of course - Jimi Hendrix. For my ears and my taste of music Ritchie wears the crown!

Мрачный и непостижимый король хард-роковой гитары.А может его руками и пальцами Сам Бог играет эту музыку.
Well said! At times Ritchie was the Lord of the Guitar. Listening to Ritchie for over 53 years and I still get chill bumps listening to him.
Christ, he really was fucking amazing! I actually never knew he was this good, but blimey, he created the genre. He did it.
МАЭСТРО Бравооооооо!!!
Нет ему равных! Евгения Гамаюн

Think he was at his peak here with the latest version of rainbow, Ritchie played fast but very fluently with such beautiful tone. The best by far.
И на завтрашний день - тоже.

Some of the best playing of RB ever captured on film. Wish this band had made another album.
God bless you for this Video
And God bless Ritchie
Brilliant, Superb ! Endless talent.... Ritchie Blackmore is the Man !!
Круто! Фантастично!!!
The Best Ever!
When I was a kid I loved this guys guitar playing. I still do!
Ritchie Blackmore graces us with his presence.
The best rock guitarist ever...
One of the best. Jeff Beck is a great player.
claudio cruzat de gustibus non disputandum est! For me, the best is “The Man In Black”!
la dinamica che imprime al suono della ghitarra è unica.....
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo. La clasificación es Ritchie y después los demás. Man in Black forever !
This line-up is really good! Doogie can sing ANY Rainbow or Purple material as you can see in this concert in Germany '95, not everybody can do that.
The greatest, ever!

Blackmore technicly sound. As anyone who has strapped on a fender plugged it into a marshal stack and created original hard rock.
One word ...KING ....
Very fine compilation! Just the essence. I,ve faved! Thank for it!
Blackmore is never enough!
What do i hate at Ritchie: He never played a solo in the same way twice! But, he is a genious in componing songs!
Nunca toca un solo de la misma manera porque improvisa y para hacer eso en vivo hay que ser un genio
I agree with all your comments and I would like (i hope) Ritchie returned to play like in those days....

The best ever neo classic
I wish, there will be a G5 Concert, soon! MAB, Satriani, Vai, Malmsteen and Ritchie Blackmore! The Master and his greatest and famous fans!
Ritchie was a huge influence on yngwie and many others. My fave album is made in Tapan, something happened there!
By the power of his guitar playing , he got the right to fire any other member he didnt like🤘
Very nice clips from a somewhat underrated Rainbow period. Thank you.
It's one thing to play like this, another to improvise it.
The latter is much harder.
Exactly right brother. Ritchie played solos different every night at this level.
