can someone just post tabs of it, it would be a lot easier to learn. Who ever knows how to correctly play it please post tabs of it, its a lot easier and i dont have to try to guess while your showing off. But nice job on the playing

@deafnblind77

Well, that's the thing, no one know how to play it correctly. I mean I thought I did, but some dude who replied to me said I did a terrible job. Maybe we should ask him how to do it. writing tabs is such a tedious job anyway, it doesn't describe nearly as well as a video (slowed-down).

But thank you anyway!

Thanks for trying this one, one of my favourite Rainbow songs and solos. The Strat you're using is very similar to the main one Ritchie used during his MK II days to record In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head, Made in Japan and probably WDWTWA. Did you get it because of that?

Also, IMHO, Ritchie's sound is based more on sustain than on distortion, which makes for his unique sound. But again, thanks for adding to YouTube a song that nobody else tried before!

Well, thank you for the good comments. As for the Strat, yes, I am guilty of what you say... I could not afford a real 1968 Strat Like Ritchie's (at least the one pictured in the Machine Head LP) but it playes very well. And I'm not afraid to say that the Mexican handywork is quite good. Unfortunately, not all MIM products are the same, but generally, they are pretty good.

BUT I am not the first one to try this song, although, I do believe I did a good job on it.

wow thats some great slide work

[QuiltedPine]

Well thanks, apparently someone else thinks not... But I could have done better. then again, asking me to play, say like Stave Vai, well, I just can't. Within the limits of my fingers and neurons.

@deafnblind77 search it on songsterr ;)

[deafnblind77]

well from what i"ve heard you played it correctly so that guy is obviously wrong. Tabs are tedious but its the best way for me to learn and this is one of my favorite songs and i dont kow it 100% which sucks

[BlackmoreRules]
