He's been quoted along the lines of saying "anyone who wants to hear Smoke on the Water again is a retard", so he probably wasn't feeling too happy to be playing it again.
Seriously..yes ..Ritchie always scollops his guitars so his fingers don't slip of...he expalins this in a video on here called Ritchie Blackmore's guitar collection.
How is it that this guy is left out so often in "greatest ever" debates?! Clapton, Hendrix, Page, Van Halen, Slash... that's all I ever hear.
-----------------------------
He's not left out, he's just so grand that he no longer fits into debate. "Best guitar player" debate touches earth players while one&only Mr. Blackmore shadows them all from outer space.
Geez while I remember this album coming out I didn't know Ritchie played on it. This was cool as hell and I've been following RB since 72. Its interesting how he so rapidly flicks the pickup selector into position - as most of you probably know he doesn't use the middle pickup at all.
He´s the best ever. Not only fron his generation but of every generation. Here is the reason I could never listen to Deep Purple after he left. It´s maybe even worse than listening to Pink Floyd without David Gilmour on guitar...
If you close your eyes and just listen to if you want a hundred guitar players, you can and of course you will know when RITCHIE BLACKMORE is playing.
God of the Strat. No one can give a Strat that tone......JUST RITCHIE BLACKMORE !!!!! MY HERO in the past, the present and in the future.... LONG LIVE RITCHIE...
@Sojic82 Yes !! ....not clapton ,not hendrix , not stevie ray ....all sound similar - BUT ritchie somehow gets his own spin on the great strat tone ....takes it sonically to places they never got to . I am not saying he is a better composer of stuff ....those other three have merit ...but ritchie draws you in with his tone -very special.
pero ritchie blackmore es un musico mas versatil que santana ademas de que se formo como guitarrista clasico y ser un proser del metal neoclasico es muy bueno improvisando, cualquier modo tonal parece serle comodo, superando por mucho a santana
How is it that this guy is left out so often in "greatest ever" debates?! Clapton, Hendrix, Page, Van Halen, Slash... that's all I ever hear. I realize there are different styles, but come on, Blackmore is amazing!! In my opinion... he's the best!
Wow!!! What a rare clip of Master Blackmore!!! Awesome!!! I remember when Pat Boone covered Holy Diver. I don't think Ronnie thought it was funny though. But anyway, great clip!!! Thank you, John!!!
@svenboxx Those pick-up switches are easy ones cuz he's using only those two edge positions - I"ve seen way better pick up switching. That doesn't mean I don't find him best in the world by the way. Its his beutiful melodies that qualify him among best in the world not his technique skills.
00:46 wah wah effect thru the pickup selector o.o !
