One of my most requested guitar players and an amazing experience over all recording this video. Ritchie's playing has influenced me more than I realized and it's awesome to hear that Rainbow is getting back together.

Can we finally admit that Ritchie Blackmore is a brilliant guitarist?
Richard Goldin never heard anyone deny that he’s one of the best ever
Most underrated guitar player
Finally? No decent guitarist would rate him less than brilliant.
He’s definitely one of the best
Was there really any doubt?
Blackmore has an absolute killer vibrato; is not stuck in Pentatonic hell; used either the bridge or neck pick up on Strat and had phrasing unlike any other rock guitarists.
Absolutely a master

Ritchie Blackmore's playing is the reason, why I started playing guitar. 🤘
Me too
#me too
Child in Time solo! 🤘
Me too
Ditto
Blackmore is a legend. His style is unique and his sound made Deep Purple. Thanks for sharing.
Ritchie Blackmore is one of my heroes. His Child in Time solo is just magical to this day! Thank you my man
And all his riffs and solos! Like stargazer etc..
Lots of riffs and solos ! Untouchable ! 🌹🥰

Ritchie is a true musician.
While Blackers wasn't the reason I picked up guitar, he has become by far my biggest inspiration. From Deep Purple to Rainbow to Blackmore's Night, ES-335 or Stratocaster, he's just got that something.
If you look at the actual whammy bar that Blackmore used back in the 70s, you'll note that it was a custom bar: much longer than the stock bar provided with the Stratocaster. Blackmore said that he was breaking the stock ones. The larger bar helps to create the insane whammy stuff he was doing back then.
Quarter inch thick as well. I recall a story he's told somewhere, he used to visit a guy to fix all the vibrato arms he broke. One day the man returned Ritchie's guitar to him with that 6,35 mm bar, and said he won't be breaking that one. He did break that one too.
i hope some of the people arguing about Blackmore''s comments regarding Satriani (which weren't offensive and it';s just been blown into an unnecessary shitstorm) watch this.
Great that you are showing feel over speed and sterility, i'm not saying Satch is sterile! but he doesn't keep me interested very long, where as listening to Blackmore has kept me interested for years.
Totally agree ... the comments were not offensive .. before giving his opinion he said " satriani is brilliant " .. I agree with Ritchie I have the same view
You got that Right bro.
I think, the music you heared at your youth is the music style you love your hole life!
Blackmore is a master and Satriani, too.
Future Request: Rory Gallagher
Gavin J H Hell Yes! You read my mind. So many great techniques Rory had. A Truly Phenominal player
Awesome! Ritchie is one of my favorite guitarists and one of the best
Awesome vid, one of my favorite lead guitarists. The main thing I got from Ritchie, learning by ear over the years, was the way he uses rhythm in his leads. I think that can be missed by lead guitarists and it makes a difference, rhythm and phrasing, not just all the cool notes played. My favorite lead by Ritchie is in the Gates of Babylon, all the key changes in the middle and the lead he does, just phenomenal. Great overview :)
One of my alltime favorite Blackmore leads! Fn incredible!
I'm literally FREAKING OUT thank you so much Mike he's my favourite guitarist
Ishan Kumar -I think that goes for a LOT of people .
"I'm Freaking Out" is a song by the Dregs (AKA Dixie Dregs) featuring Steve Morse on guitar. Steve Morse's last "money job" to my knowledge was with Deep Purple. Small world. ;)
A lot of Blackmore fans here. I'll have to try your channel if only just for that.
Ritchie blackmore is my guitar hero!
Dave Murray from Iron Maiden
Also Ritchie's sounds is almost clean sound, he has realy strong fingers. And of course remember how fast he switches the pickups. Great video! Thanks
Great video man! really appreciate the time put in, Blackmore is quite the guitarist, and you've clearly spent plenty of time looking at his playing. Love your work.
This was actually quite insightful. You put a lot work into it and it shows...good stuff, Thanx.
I’ve been playing guitar for many years and have toured and released albums. I really enjoy your artist videos to freshen up my playing and to pick up new things to incorporate. Nice job and thank you!
Listening to all of them my conclusion is that Blackmore is better then all of them .. the reason for that is he’s intelligence feel and creativity. No one in the world has he’s like creative mind.
Exactly.
you rock! thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experience!
The most important thing to consider when breaking down what Ritchie does, is that he doesn't play with another guitarist - he works with a keyboard. Listen carefully and you'll note that the notes are "tacit" (single notes) or inverted fifths. Many of his riffs are keyboard based. This is because the chord color, whether it be thirds etc., are handled by the keyboardist. For an example, listen to the song "Burn". You'll note that the triads are handled by Jon Lord.
Love those lessons and tips many thanks for posting this.
Man! Love this video!! Great job and hope you show more on Ritchie! Regards
I’ve been waiting for this one forever
Great topic! Vert useful and didactical video! I often watch your videos, which are really good tips! Cheers
Good tips. Appreciate it. You made a good point in that a lot of us are probably subconsciously Ritchie-esque in our playing. One of the best.
super work! so much learning! thanks
Could you do Brian May
Jack Harvey I've asked this a few times on here!
I don’t think he knows how to do Brian May.
YEAHHHH
Thanks for the vid! One of my favorite guitarists
Accenting that first note has made you a genius in my book...a lightbulb just went off in my head, it makes perfect sense, after decades. Thanks so much man.
Great video man, definitely will be using a lot of this stuff soon! Respect
Fantastic tutorial .CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!!!You have brought light into darkness .Thank you very much
Great insights man! Thanks so much for sharing these techniques and for your clear explanation!! Well done 👍👏👏👏🙌
Dang you are good! Anyone who can explain Ritchie Blackmore's style so its understandible, and then play it perfectly is a guitar god in my book
Thanks for this one sir. Lovely tone!
Good job, thanks for sharing!
Loved the wasted years effect. Always loved that style of riff. Keep these coming man I learn so much and it motivates me to play.
Fantastic video. I'm burnt out on 'how to play' cover song videos, so these analysis style vids on the small details is very welcome and super interesting.
I love the flair you put into showing the scale boxes
Great video! Thanks!
Mike love your lessons been watching from beginning.. keep it up. I worked for a lot of big bands last 40 years..
I'm all about your great video... Thank you sir. I just got my fender signature to brothe.r Hats off to you. Keep the blessings coming
I was a Deep Purple fan and Dio fan then I discovered Rainbow ,now at 59 I’m trying to learn to play guitar with the Ritchie Blackmore sound.thanks for the lessons.
Great lesson, thankyou
moreblackmoremoreblakmoremoreblackmore pllleeeeeeease
Thank you for this video. I have been playing bass and guitar for many years now, not to a very technical level at all, I’ve never properly learnt the scales, and like to play whatever sounds good. There are some things in here that I feel I do when just playing about especially the long bends and the fifth chords ,as you put it, think I will try to learn
a bit more theory again because of this video. This video is great, thank you so much. I first got into guitar because of Hendrix and over the years have grown to love Ritchie’s playing and sound. Love how they both use the tremolo so much.
Thank you really enjoyed this. Feel like I’m rambling but why not Blackmore is amazing.
Thank you I love your attention to detail. With Smoke on The Water Riff Ritchie definitely strokes up and down alternatively; this can be heard in his playing and gives the riff a more powerful and contrasting sound. With the strokes going up on the two strings gives a the sound a 'brighter' treble sound which contrasts with the darker meatier sound when playing the same two strings in a down position...🎸🎸🎸
Ritchie is my fav Rainbow!
wow great video man!
great video thx!
Thank you so much for this video! Ritche Blackmore is the best guitar player of all time, absolute madman!
thanks for this Mike. He's always been my major guitar hero since 1968 (Hush, Kentucky woman) when he played his Gibson ES335 before his switch to Fender strat. Before I could analyse there was always something stunningly exciting about his playing
Thank you so much!
Real briefly I also recognize that little bit of a lick of that Jerry Rafferty song too Baker Street was that you had that little bit of via whisper sweet pic too but there’s a little similarity there I’m really digging this video man. Thank you so much for sharing. It sounds awesome. You’re coming through loud and clear distract sounds good. Even with the loose wiggle bar lol hey thank you so much.
Thanks for dedicating this video to the greatest guitarist i will ever hear
Excellent lesson
Ritchie has a best timing and fantastic feeling, which impossible to teach.
nice work, mike!
I recently saw of video of Ritchie playing Smoke on the Water with UPSTROKES with a plectrum ... that seems to be the secret to the sound to my ear.
Such an epic video
oh cool! Ive always been adding that 2nd interval, didnt know Ritchie does it, as well as Slash. I think it gives lots of emotion, melody to the player
Alright wtf this dude has literally done a video on every single one of my heroes...haha I love it.
ritchie is first one i ever heard to do,...cello thing,....fools,...from fireball 1971
One guitarist that Ritchie admired did the “cello” effect quite long before. His name …. Roy Buchanan. There’s a lot of Ritchie’s techniques that were derived from this relatively underrated and unknown artist 😊
Like the Bob Ross shirt) What about the Sweeping Technique that Ritchie came up with back in the sixties? Ritchie is my favorite guitarist. And his technique, which I think is extraordinarily excellent, tends to be overlooked. Thanks for pointing out all the subtle technical things he does. Many focus on the obvious stuff like double tapping, hammer ons, etc, but not the subtle things. PLus as you said in the video, it is not how he plays things, but where he plays them)) It is clear he influenced a whole generation or two of guitarists from Malmsteen to Satch to Metallica, etc. Really nice job))) (FWIW, I'm a keyboardist and bassist).
Love that staccato picking stuff. I always wondered how he got that sound. Thanks.
VERY VERY HELPFUL........THANK YOU
Thanks !! Really interesting ... I've been using many in a similar way and now I've noticed how to do it correctly .. I'm a mainly a Blackmore Gilmour Gary Moore influenced player but really I like a lot of players .. the list is too long but Ritchie Blackmore is my number 1 , therefore to play learn some of his licks properly is very helpfull for me .. once again thank you and of course I've subscribed .... cheers
Blackmore's bends are very similar to the vocal screams of Robert Plant's
1 Style Missing
Richie Blackmore's California Jam 1974
Love the API 512 pre amps , mans got taste !
Forgive me, but a quick point on the "inverted "5ths." If you invert a 5th, it becomes a 4th because all inversions add up to 9. I see how it can be useful to focus on the high note for the melody, but if you expand the idea you can add a low 8ve repeat & you've got your power chord/5 chord. Just to help if it confuses anyone.
10:05 imo, the best example of this whammy bar sound is in the Made in Japan live album(1972 original version), Highway Star,,,the end of Ritchies solo.
Yes! Someone else gets it Aug 16th at the end of solo of H/S never ever has that been matched.even by him,that Bar was in phase with everything being louder then everything else perfect !
Happy little notes, floating around like a cloud.
Great pickup on the slow bends.It's exactly what makes his first solo on the studio version of Lazy sound so sassy, especially when he does the same bends in doubles and fours. You're absolutely right that it is easy to rush the bends when the solo is up tempo. Good job, Mike...even though I am just seeing this now. Heh heh.
thanks for the great tutorial - i have to point out that much of ritchie's fret-board is scalloped , so the half-bends you show are in fact a harder pushed-in string when played, and in a scalloped fret-board it bends the note silightly (sometimes it looks as if he does a vibrato with his and but it is like he is digging through the fretboard to sound like a bend)
Please do Grateful Dead! Bob's originality in rhythm playing is unbelievable, and Jerry's country-blues lead innovation would make for a really interesting and enlightening video :) as a jam band, there's a lot of ground to cover. Amazing video by the way
Nice tone in this video, Mike.
Great job Mike, I might have been one of the guys that requested RB ....... A lot of younger players underestimate Ritchies playing ability, a genius ....... btw Highway Star ..... the feel is the LH plays triplets over the top of the tremolo picking
I've been waiting for this thank you so much
Excellent video, and excellent choice in Amps hard to beat A JCM 800 the total go to amp!
Could we please have a Brian May or a Rory Gallagher lesson
Hey mike, Im a real big fan of your channel and love all the content you make even the personal experiences videos. Could you do a Wes Montgomery or a Dethklok video? I don't think they go in line with the classic rock guitarists in the artist series but they are really good musicians.
Could you please do a Marty Friedman technique video?
Kind regards
Can you do Alex Lifeson?
Ritchie was one of the first with a special adjustment for the tremolo. 2 tunes up an down without loosing the tuning
It's really sad that he walked away in 1993. However I do understand the reasons why. They have not had a major league hit without him involved. The force and prime mover behind deep purple has always been Ritchie Blackmore, even John lord said that.
He named the band after his mother's favorite song " Deep purple"..😆🎸🎼
Hey man I’ve got the same shirt! Nice playing
Never in doubt
From my ear and the vids I've seen Blackmore's iconic tremolo picking solo is played w/o the planted index on the fifth fret? He plays the open e note
Hey Mike!
You REEEAAALLY gotta do STEVE LUKATHER!!!
Would you consider covering Michael Schenker.
I reckon Johnny Marr would be a nice one to do. Got a nice few tricks up his sleeve.
Johnny marr next please!
Do a video of chuck shuldiner techniques
Add a Single ball bearing on top of your spring for your bar
Best whammy attack ever was end of Pictures of Home
Ok, I subbed. Be sure to get that Bob Ross wig ordered! I would have mentioned the octaver you were using at the start.. You probably blew some poor newbie minds.
