I'm with you - now 64 and retired I have time to delve into all Blackmore's solos and I'm getting better degree by degree. It helps that I've known virtually all the notes in my head since 1972. Thanks again.

Great lesson, man! It's really nice to hear someone else talking so passionately about the history of Machine Head, like I've been doing for so many years. Sometimes I feel like I'm a boring old granpa yackin' about that kind of dinossaur stuff... but definetely not the only one heheheh "No matter what we get out of this, I know I'll never forget" the way that album blew my mind right away, like nothing I've ever heard. It took a single hearing of Lazy for me to decide I was going to be an electric guitar player.

I grew up listening to Deep Purple. Just an amazing lesson. Your an amazing player and teacher! Many heart felt thanks for helping me to become the guitar player I want to be!

Dude, this lesson is awesome. Your tone is what I pursue. Your chops and vids are great.

I'm with you on Blackmore. Now 64, retired and with time to practice, I'm endeavouring to get all Ritchie's solos down. It helps that I've known all the notes in my head since 1972

Perfect lesson and solo.

This is a brilliant guitar lesson. Full stop. Just as a matter of opinion, I think this solo sounds (sounds, not 'is') better on a Fender Strat. Still doesn't change the fact that this is a brilliant guitar lesson.

After watching a couple of your vids I had to stop and say that yours is the most beautiful Les Paul I have ever seen!! The cream trim on the wine red is hot, yet elegant and classy!! From blue jeans to leather pants to a tuxedo, It's universally appealing! Even the red LP Customs aren't as smooth as yours. Great Score!!

fantastic lesson, fantastic description, enjoyable historical context info.....perfect in every way.....5 stars plus!

Your lessons are some of the best I nave seen. I think at 14:30 your fingers fly that far off the neck to get the strong sound from the strings. Don't change a thing. I can't imagine your killer hammer-ons being as forceful if you only had a small amount of travel. If you can do the speed, I think your way is the way to go. Thanks for a great lesson.

Amazing, love the detail with the explanations of the keys, scales and arpeggios used!!!

The best lesson on this legendary song, thank you for sharing

Awesome lesson. One of hte best songs ever. Pure Bach on electric guitar. Genius.

Thanks so much for doing a lesson on this song. One of my fave must-learns. Its too fast of a song for me to break down by ear. All of your lessons are terrific and so many of the songs you choose resonate with my own tastes. I'm a big fan of your teaching style. Don't change a thing. Direct and to the point. Love that LP. Cheers

THANK YOU !!! Your method of explaining the WHYs of the riffs make perfect sense to my way of thinking. I've enjoyed VERY MUCH studying with you !!! :)

you are correct indeed. Machine Head was a wonderfully produced album and will remain one of those timeless records when the band was in their prime.

Excellent lesson..once again, thank you for not referring to frets, fingers, strings.that stuff drives me nuts. .It is great to learn classic rock music by looking and listening. Like all great solos, he hits harmony notes right on the button, these are the solos that live on and resonate. I love how you nail the minor 3rd harmony solo..the blistering alternate picking will take a while to get up to speed !! cheers mate..I LOVE your lessons.

I agree about Machine Head being a great album. I was recently listening to this song in the car and was thinking, "it doesn't get any better than this". Great energy in this solo. I loved it long before I knew anything about playing guitar. Now I can play it and revisit these old songs I loved growing up. The keyboard solo rocks the house as well. Thanks for the great lesson! You always make a lot of sense the way you explain things.

Great job..! You are NOT annoying or boring but you are informative and pleasant.

Thanks for posting this. Great job. I played the hell out of that album. Iconic piece of music. Always wanted to learn this. Now with your help I can. THANKS!

I'm a keyboard player. Jon Lord and Keith Emerson will always be the 2 best in my book. Keith for overall keyboards, Jon as the supreme Hammond player. Jon showed that one need not choose between playing rock or classical, that one can do both. He was amazing. I miss him (and Keith). I studied classical piano as a kid, heard Deep Purple, that Hammond and went off to play rock while still studying Liszt, Back, Chopin, Beethoven. There are many excellent guitarists out there. There are about 10-15 of my personal favorites. Ritchie will always be the best of the bunch for me. His technique, his originality, the feel he puts into his playing, the difficulty of what he plays - some come close, but none surpass (in my view). He is the only guitarist I will take time to listen to. Very interesting video. Have you ever broken down the Burn solo? That is also intense. BTW, I saw Purple during the Machine Head tour. To this day remains the absolute best concert I ever saw. All 5 of them kicked severe ass!!!

You always play the coolest music and convey your lesson very well.

Best solo and best lesson ever. I was one of those guys and hate to admit it I was playing this wrong and no wonder it was flat. Its got to played right not by taking short cuts.

Thank you so very much, especially for covering the higher harmony part 👍🏻

Good lesson. You say "Shutup and Play, but your talking was as important as your playing ! I can play this solo. Now I have to practice a little bit more in order to play it cleaner !! Thanks a lot !

Totally agree, Machine Head is a genuine classic. I did the same, and still love it today.

I was 16 when the album came out. Just got my 1967 Camaro. Cranking out the music in my 8-track. Such a long time ago.

WOW. you make it look so easy. Thank you so much for the tutorial. . Im really trying and with practice ..all things are possible. I have always thought DEEP PURPLE was an exceptional band. . Thank you.

Like how you go on about how great Blackmore is and on the Whole Lotta Love tutorial you identify at least three mistakes by Page :). Deep Purple number 1.

Nailed it man thanks!!!

Yeah I remember when I was about 17 or 18 years old the guys in my band wanted to do this song. I took one listen to the solo and said, "are you kidding me?!" , I just watched this brilliant demo and afterwards I thought....yep...I'm still not going to be able to play that. I have a job and a life.....not THAT much time to practice! lol

You obviously put some serious time to pick all that apart, that well. Thanks for sharing it.

You have helped me so much and I am loving the songs Im learning correctly. Thank you keep on rocking

***** Thanks Joe.

Absolutely agree, perhaps the seminal "heavy metal" album of all time. It changed everything!

Great choice! And I agree : Deep Purple is a CLASSIC band! (but don't tell the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame that - if they don't know by now, they never will - I'm beginning to think it's more "Rock N Roll" to NOT be inducted in the RNRHOF at this point - SMH) . I have always thought that Perfect Strangers was their consummate album (Machine Head a close second, and was replaced by PS when it came out). I have to say I'm biased though : I really like Steve Morse more than Ritchie Blackmore, but I know it's all a matter of taste to the listener. Though I think Steve Morse really does justice to Purple's older/Blackmore era songs.(check out the Live @ Montreux 2006 video on KZread - his interpretation of 'When A Blind Man Cries' is amazing) Great lesson, as always - keep rockin ' !! P.S. - what type of video camera are you using? Is it from a laptop, or a separate camera unit? (in case I missed it on previous posts) It has great resolution & clarity, by the way.

***** Yeah, it's crazy these guys aren't in the R&R hall of fame! Perfect Strangers is a great album too! Steve Morse is an excellent guitarist, but there's only one RB! The camera I use is a Canon Vixia R400, it's just a basic 300 dollar camera that I got at Costco! but yeah I'm pretty happy with how the vids come out. cheers

Thanks. It seems every song you do are songs I worked on in the past. Your taste in music is very aligned with mine. I like your attention to detail also. I like improvising as much as the next guy. But like you said, we have been listening to this stuff for decades so good to get it right. Thanks again.

Ritchie has always been my favorite as well...He didnt get his due back in the day because everybody thought Page was God and people went by the pop charts...Page was good of course but when it came to live-playing Page could not even come close to Blackmore...

Dude I love Ritchie Blackmore too but after spending some time listening to Zeppelin soundboards from 69-72...he doesn’t hold up against Page live. Unreal what that dude was doing at his peak. Heartbreaker from that era makes Highway Star look like a walk in the park with the Care Bears. Contrary to what everyone, myself included thinks of Page as a live performer, before he got all fucked up, he could let it rip.
