It’s not outrageous to say he’s the greatest hard rock guitarist of his generation. Another great player from that era who doesn’t get enough credit is Jan Ackerman of Focus ( a jazz player really) . Ritchie loved his playing, both had a love of mediaeval music, melody and were incredible improvisers. I don’t think anyone could have pulled off the studio solo from Child in time in 1969 but Ritchie . No one had those dynamics and control /feel and precision but Ritchie IMO.

Jan Akkerman got my attention way back in high school. I started chasing his stuff. There was some really terrific stuff there, beautiful in its own way and bold enough when it had to be..... At times, almost fusion without the aroma of cheese going bad.. You always played with strength and grace. There was a lot to glean there.....

Totally agree he’s def top three .. but will always be down around 2O or lower in say a Rolling stone poll .. what do they know.

It’s still the best musical experience of my life. Deep Purple mark ii at the top of their game where the best live band in the planet. No one would want to follow them on stage. 😀 Heard that New Order were on after them at a European festival around 15 years ago. The bassist said we were laughing before they came on about them being over the hill but added .. we weren’t laughing after they started playing .😀

Oh, and there’s one other vital component: phrasing. Where almost every other guitarist elects to go UP in pitch, Blackmore frequently opts to DESCEND in pitch. Think about it. The ‘payoff’ in this Lazy solo is not a singular high note. The highest note in the solo occurs in bar six of thirty-six bars of solo. No, the payoff is solidly in the midrange of the instrument.

@seabud6408

Brian May said “ No one talks about Ritchie and I don’t know why” .. He’s always been my favourite Rock guitarist . I think that many people haven’t heard most of his work. There were 3 Deep Purple albums recorded between 1968 and 1969 very few have heard his great work on those albums. His solo on Kentucky Woman is one of his best in my opinion. Few people would be able to quickly work that solo out.

I have always loved Blackmore's playing. He has this very unique mix of blues, classical, and jazz in his style. Not your typical rocker of the 60's and 70's.

RB was absolutely on fire during the recording of Machine Head and this solo from Lazy is a masterclass blues solo. A thing of beauty, tone, phrasing,dexterity, musicality and virtuosity.

Ritchie is the best guitar player in the world and all the other guitarists are a cheap imitation of Blackmore. His sound is pure and deliberate. I am glad that you are sharing a study of his guitar style. He deserves all the credibility and respect. ❤❤❤

Ritchie Blackmore is a brilliant guitarist, he said so himself :)

Deep Purple was the first band I saw live with my father (with Steve Morse sadly), in 2007, when I was 14. The minute after going out of the concert hall, I said "I will let grow my hair". One year later, I received an electric guitar for my birthday. Today, I play and teach guitar for living. Ritchie Blackmore was for sure THE guitarist that influenced me the most at my beginnings and gave me that spark that set off my passion for that instrument.

You deserve all the compliments Tim.... You have your own fun, graceful, humble way of taking us down the fairway ! It never feels forced or over our heads in anyway. There's always a kindness and a gentleness. I'm trying to describe what we see. This is why so many guys talk about you and like you. Let me put it another way you don't do guitar videos you take us on an adventure...... We don't wind up down any rabbit holes we just go somewhere exciting fun and inspirational..... Think I first became aware of you and what you were doing on those Cockrobin records with Peter Kingsberry. He's been over in France for a while as you know doing his thing. Would love to see you explore some of the sounds on those records. Even the simple straightforward stuff always had a haunting tone. You took his songs to another level. He was an emotional singer, a good writer, and you were soaring right there with him. Still hard to believe you can do stuff like that or we can try with wires and a plank of wood and a little bit of electricity..... Was great the other day to see Bukovac telling Rick Beato his favorite solo was the one you did on "change" with John Waite. I got a huge kick out of that. You're on a ton of records in My collection. I also liked Bukovac talking about turning down the gain or avoiding really gainey amps. Let your fingers do the talking. It reminded me of you again. I started that fork in the road with a Peavey stereo chorus in 1989. Partly aping those Cockrobin records.....and I've Never looked back.

Ritchie’s solos are short stories. He was perfect at phrasing. It’s basically like stairway to heaven solo but on every record in Mk2

Yeah. Burn. Best resurrection album of all time.

Love this track, and all the solos on it. Weirdly, in an official documentary on the making of Machine Head, Lazy wasn't even mentioned, although a chapter was dedicated to a song that didn't even make the cut.

I'm a longtime Ritchie fiend....and he was a game changer for me when I discovered him as a teen -- and it was what you're pointing out, Tim: the "added notes." Besides the blues approach as in "Lazy" -- he mixes things up beautifully; masterfully in everything: a little minor pentatonic, a chromatic run....Harmonic minor...Aeolian...a little snake charmer. As a kid I thought you had to chose one scale over a song; and stick with it. Ritchie taught me: with a little imagination - you can "pepper" in a lot of different notes, intervals and/or scales. Bless you, Time; love the video and admiration for one of my super heroes ;)

Ritchie is just amazing, been listening to him since '72. Love all his music.

Ritchie was an early inspiration when I was learning to play electric. My favorite solos were on "I Surrender" and later one nobody ever talks about except me, "Spanish Archer". It just slays!

I saw Glenn Hughes in Norman Oklahoma in 1971 ( I think) at the Purple Onion, ( a local bar), . He played with Trapeze- I met Mel Galley (. Played lead ),, we got acquainted,, I let him drive my silver 1969 corvette, We wrote letters from tome to time, Trapeze was a real great band, Hughes left and went to Deep Purple. I can’t tell you how impressive it was to hear a band like that in a small venue ( bar), Galley went on to play lead with White Snake,,,, I think he played for Ozzy at one time, Great memories,,, It would be worth it to listen to Medusa. By Trapeze, Pure energy, Hughes was amazing..

Great info as always Tim

I've always loved Blackmore's playing, for the obvious reason that it is soooo good, but also because it's been a total mystery to me, even though it was clear that the added notes were the secret sauce. Tim, you are a master communicator, and have explained the mystery concisely. Wish I had the talent to put this knowledge to use!

For years I have had a few songs that I do exactly what you suggest to do for a practice strategy. One of, if not, the most returned to song is Lazy! Loved watching you play it and explain how all the additional notes are added!

Highway Star from Made In Japan. Ritchie at his finest

Watching your videos with your positive makes me happy 🙂

One thing Ritchie did a lot is flick to the bridge pick up now and again ( he had no middle pickup ) to emphasise certain flourishes, its a good technique adds more colour and texture to his solos.

One of my all time favorites from Deep Purple and Ritchie. Thanks.

İts a very entertaining and educative one Tim Thank you🤘

As always, the best advice from the best teacher.

Tim, you mentioned how effortless and fluent EVH played the guitar, and what many people don't understand is that he tuned his guitar down a half step and used Super Light strings in 9's, his string gauge of choice. So, if it looked effortless and easy it's because he learned how not to press down on the strings too hard so as not to play out of pitch, In turn he was able to bend strings much easier and perform so many more trick licks with ease than if his guitar was in E standard tuning.

Thanks for all your ideas

Fantastic!

Blackmore, in addition to everything else, knew how to SWING--almost in an old-timey big band way, and it worked. He also had a unique articulation, almost like easing into each note but landing with a confidence that demanded the listener's attention. A true gem of a musician.

Great post Tim This is also my practice piece I do it on acoustic guitar 12-56 great for strengthening the fingers but still have to have a light touch to get the the swing
