In this Highway Star guitar lesson series, I will show you how to play all of this Deep Purple classic note-for-note.
The rhythm guitar parts will be covered in the first video and they are pretty simple and shouldn't be much of a challenge for the intermediate level guitarist. But, we are also dealing with Ritchie Blackmore here, so these easy guitar riffs are really just the calm before the storm. That storm is obviously the epic guitar solo.
One thing you will need to be able to do well to play all the rhythm guitar parts is play consistent fast downstroke rhythms without getting tired out. This means you will want to keep your picking hand wrist and forearm as relaxed as possible throughout.
In the second video lesson, I will break down guitarist Ritchie Blackmore's incredible guitar solo note-for-note.
This classically inspired guitar solo is consistently voted as one of the greatest solos of all-time. You will be playing a huge amount of techniques including bends, blues licks, arpeggios, unison bends, fast machine gun precise alternate picking lines and more. It is truly a challenge for even a quite advanced guitar player.
As I state in most of my lessons where a large amount of technique is required, it is best to learn solos like this one found in "Highway Star" phrase-by-phrase just like I teach it in this video lesson.
That will enable you to repetitively work on each challenging guitar part and make it sort of a guitar technique exercise. After you have all the parts mastered on their own, you can then begin to piece the solo together by combining all of those individual parts.
"Highway Star" is one of the giants of classic rock. The solo alone is one of the most important of the classic rock era, but the rest of the song is still very fun to play as well.
I hope you guys get a lot out of learning this one!
Carl...

First let me start by saying you are a great guitar player and great guitar teacher. This is a solo that I wanted to sit down and learn for about 4 decades! Lol. Well I watched this video and was playing it in about an hour. Now yes, I do have to get up to speed on the triplicates, but that is just to be expected. With guitar you do something till you get it right, then increase the speed until you are playing it in time. I will master those runs. Guaranteed. I already now have the rest of the solo down, thanks to you . I cannot thank you enough.

Great job playing it and easy to follow instructions dude.Thanks for being kind enough to post it!
Carl, the Master of the Masters. Well done my friend. Regards from Brazil.
Having researched You Tube Carl is the best teacher for Highway Star. He can clearly play it and he is logical and pendantic in his method of teaching. He is thoughtful to the basic needs of the 'guitar pupil' and expresses every note he plays. Now back to my practising, I have no problems with every note of the solo, its that vibrato and that fast runs where I need repetitive practice...!
You Rock!! Ive Gone through my stages on this page love the way you teach like no one else on KZread!!!
You are the perfect teacher hands down I learned alot from you THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Awesome, it is great when you do advanced classic rock lessons like this. cheers

for anyone struggling with the speed picking part, if u can tremolo pick well already i suggest just going for it if ur frustrated taking it slow bc ur right hand is too fast for ur left hand. it worked for me. if u know the song well and how that part goes, then i think ur left hand will eventually just force itself to do its thing lol.

Fantastic Carl..been waiting for this one for a long time..Please do "Lazy" from "Machine Head" . Great to see you doing some classic rock again.
Cant believe how easy you made that solo for me to learn
Thanks!
thank you sir. from philippines
Very clean ...

Thank you.
Struggle with last picking part is real. I always end up tremolo picking the notes and it sounds just bad.

Same here. Blackmore is the fastest, most precise rock guitarist pre Eddie Van Hale in my opinion. I managed the Smoke on the Water solo but the Highway Star fast picking part is very frustrating. I won’t go near Lazy. My daughter is a touring lead guitarist and uses Lazy to get her chops up to speed.

Can't find solo lesson for both studio and live (which I think is better) versions of Deep Purple's Birds of Prey, I think Steve does a brillian job and it's really nice.
thats awesome I need to learn this so thanks for the lesson but please could you do child in time please please a most awesome song thanks
You are really good and I hate myself for not having your talent and discipline.

Carl this is yet another EPIC lesson! It may be a little bit above my ability at this point (the solo) but something to look forward to since I download all your lessons. My daughter just recently broke my hard drive and spent a few days re-downloading (bummer) But I have been thinking about a song since you did Free Bird. How about a lesson on Green Grass and High Tides. I know it has about 5 or 6 guitars but I think you can do it, PLEASE!!! Once again thanks for posting this WONDERFUL lesson.

+nursetom61 Yeah I totally agree, I have been working on Green Grass and High Tides for about 3 months now and the guy that is demonstrating it must be on his way to a fire .he is so fast .You can't follow him ,Carl is the only guy that make sense in his instruction..and breaks it down Now as to the Guitars , I belive it was Huey on the Stratacaster, and Billy Jones ( RIP) on the Les Paul and Freddy Salem on the other Les Paul, and the Bass Player ( can't remember his name,) and Monte Yoho on the drums Plus I believe that another drummer was involved , can't remember his name either Keep Pickin'
Holy F. Way to represent that stuff. I'm on it.
Hi Bro.. you are a very good guitarist...
Hey Carl I learned all of reeling in the years off your videos which took some time but I got it all down(tone included) lol and now this song I got down, and got it all down in one day! thanks dude! Btw how long does it take you(personally) to transcribe it from standard notation?
Ritchie blackmore is a genius
nice!!!!
Hey Carl, very nice lesson :) Could you do a lesson for " Child in Time " ? ;) Greetings from France :p
Best Bro
Could you do some more STP or maybe some Velvet Revolver in honour of Scott Weiland? Thanks for the lessons.
Thank you. help me to play.
Please make tutorial on Slash - By the Sword acoustic version
thank you . you are selfless and a great teacher. if you feel like it,please the solo .band rainbow song the gates of babaloyn .thanks
child in time lesson??!!...please!😀😀
Man, I thought I got the solo down, but when I get to that arpeggio speed picking its so frustrating I cannot match the speed and I don’t know if I will ever get to that speed.
nice picking but at the last part (tremolo picking part) the first note is the down beat. thanks
6:15 - this phrase is hard to play on the 1st/2nd/3rd strings for me. So I play it on the 2nd/3rd/4th starting from the 13th fret of the 2nd string. I often lose my 1st string under my fingers on the bands on low frets (below 12). Need more practice. :(
