For someone who "shreds" he plays the blues well

Chandler Powell

Long live blackmore! I love his blues style

Why only the last one is in C? Did they deliberately play in C or is the music detuned?

Bluesgolfer you sound incredibly stupid. Blackmore basically invented the modern use of the whammy bar. Hendrix used it for noise, blackmore took it somewhere else. He doesn't use anymore because he says everybody does now. You need to learn your history there guy. Blackmore plays circles around SRV, at least he knows the harmonic minor scale for christ sake. SRV's tone is easy to achieve: vintage super reverb, good strat with low output pickups, thick strings, tubescreamer used as a boost gain very low, and hard right hand attack. Its a very good tone but not some magical thing. Oh and plenty of other peoples licks especially Albert King.

The best ever!

I dare to say that Richie is the best and most versatile guitarist that ever lived and Rainbow and Deep Purple as a whole had the best shows ever..truly amazing

Blues could have been Richie's strong suit if he'd decided to go that route but lets face it the man in Black only dabbled here. Played around for fun pulling more inspiration from BB King on most of these licks rather than Hendrix. As to the guy who calls himself bluesgolfer....give it up man. Blackmore is responsible for bringing articulate classical style to Rock Guitar. He is without any argument among the best Rock ever saw........he has virtually no peer. Hendrix and Beck are really about all there is in this league 'till Van Halen came along. Great players are easy to find.....lots of 'em out there now and back in the day. I;m a GIANT FAN of SRV....but he's a blues player who while great at what he does brought nothing especially new. There are very few that CHANGED the direction of Rock Guitar. Hendrix and Van Halen are probably the most obvious but Beck and Blackmore are there too. I play ......been doing so for 40 plus years.....and you can trust me when I say that it was Blackmore who first popularized the style of classical arpeggio in rock guitar leads, You may not like that style....maybe you prefer the blues but none the less. It changed things and the direction for a lot of players that followed. Only Hendrix and Van Halen made bigger impressions. Listen to the solos in Burn and then cue up the very popular Hotel California from a few years later....... when you can influence the direction of Joe Walsh and the most commercially successful band of the late 70s......you know you'v made a mark on the business and the instrument. The 1980s brought along with it a bunch of players that followed up on Ritchie's incredible playing and style. When you try to discount him as "insignificant or second rate.......you're only showing your ignorance of the topic at hand.

blackmore had a much more distinctive tone than SRV imo .

Merci Ritchie pour l'ensemble de ta carrière.

About the vibrato thing... Didn't he say he thought people were using a bar for vibrato? All players don't know about certain aspects of playing until they see/hear it.

RB is very good guitarist, that true!!! but please don't compare him to Clapton or SRV !!!! the last one was on a other level... to be a bluesman you had to be black twice, about SRV i never notice" said BB King

@ChakaMadRealMad Chaka Angry Real Angry: I don't smoke anything. Clapton and Beck thought they were going to have to retire after hearing Hendrix. Clapton called SRV a world beater, a channel that the music flowed through and unlike others, Clapton never saw SRV pause and regroup to know where he was going next. People still chase SRV's tone. None of the above can be said about Blacknore. Ritchie didn't even know how to use vibrato until later in his career after seeing others use it.

bluesgolfer

@MysterioFan02 He may have said it but doesn't mean he is right. I don't hear about guitarists chasing Blackmore's tone like people still chase SRV's tone to this very day.

Rosa Lichtenstein

What a great blues guitarist he'd have made had he put his mind to it.

Oh my Lord...

Oh, my goodness!!!

John Berry

In the 1970 Melody Maker when Jimi had just died Ritchie himself said that apart from his wife he had two inspirations - one was Jeff Beck and the other was Jimi Hendrix who he said was above all others.
