Ritchie is one of the few players whose sound and feel is so iconic and recognizable - you can pick out his sound from amidst a complete jumble of sounds. It is truly sad to see him not being celebrated like many of his less talented contemporaries are today.
Agree! Underrated for sure. He's one of the best of our time.
yes.. he never seems to be mentioned when names are listed, like Clapton, page, other bluesbreakers guitarists and so on.. but he is such a guitarist.. his playing seems to have such a fluidity to it. just amazing.. 🙂
Its my guess he knows the truth, how other guitarists feared him and does not give a toss what anyone thinks. Must add this inspired me to go and mess with the Strat immediately. Thank you.
Th only reason he doesn't get talked about like his contemporaries is that he's never made himself available to media & has that whole " bad attitude " going on
@@gizzy2403 The media are always welcome to turn up to see him play and if they did they would see that he has never been more happy and amiable. Even during this time of stupidity he has been regularly seen and heard playing and talking on social media. I cannot say the same for the likes of Clapton, Page et al!!!
I have lost count of the times I have seen Ritchie perform live. He still tops the list of artists I have seen perform multiple times. As a young teen he became my first "guitar hero" when I heard him on "Made in Japan". His playing and his stage presence, really something special. I have had the pleasure and honour of meeting lots of artists over the years, but having been able to shake hands with Ritchie a few times and certainly the time I met him backstage with my wife and my (then 9 year old) daughter at a castle in Germany will always stand out. I still see him and my daughter sitting next to each other on a few steps backstage. Ritchie really is one of a kind. Thank you for this analyses.
I agree. In his prime (though he still has great charisma) he was the most exciting performer/guitarist since Jimi Hendrix.
I remember watching this concert on MTV at that time (when they actually would play live concerts late at night on Friday nights) and was thoroughly entranced by Blackmore’s technique and style. I was just beginning to take my first steps towards learning the guitar, and he was one of my chief inspirations.
Yes Rainbow 🌈 Right Between the Eyes live in San Antonio Texas......shown in middle of the afternoon at times early 80s Mtv.
Blackmore, worlds greatest guitarist
To experience The Man In Black live in concert was a once in a lifetime moment. I was lucky enough to see him twice with Rainbow (DIO and Graham Bonnet on vocals). He commanded the stage and gave a blistering guitar lesson that still is burned into my mind and heart to this day. Ritchie Blackmore is legendary and we are all the luckier for it. Keep on playing RB
Lucky you
When people ask Jeff Beck or Eric Clapton, I say "Ritchie Blackmore"
Thank you for this video. I may be a year late, but I watch anything about Mr. Blackmore.
Fun to watch an accomplished guitarist appreciate a guitar hero who just kicks it out of the park with his playing. Rock guitar and gymnastics have a similar "look at what I can do" energy about them and this was an Olympic performance.
Ritchie is best guitar player all time, his feeling, ideas and riffs are the best off rock n roll music.
The Great Riff Master. One of my favorite guitarists of all time behind 2 of the greatest rock bands. He is also a really cool guy. One night a few of us waited hours after a show in the rain to hopefully meet him. He stopped his car and signed whatever we had. He even signed a guitar for a fan! Awesome analysis🤘🎸
Ritchie was always grateful for and generous with his fans, me included. That he stopped his car and took the time with y’all is no surprise 🤘🏼
@installshield no I've been a fan since the 70s so I'm not a "random fan girl" maybe you're a Random Fan Boy. Have a wonderful day
Fil, thanks for the great review of an absolute ICON!
This guy isn’t just a Rock Star, he’s a Guitar God!
His tone, playing style and showmanship are second to none but his actual music is some of the greatest of all time!
If Beethoven were alive in 1982 he would have been Ritchie Beethoven Blackmore!
Great job brother, keep up the good work!
Ritchie Blackmore definitely had a flair for the dramatic. His attention to detail emphasized his unique approach.
That is right , it comes from his love for classical music
Blackmore is the best of all time.
Second Best .......
Excellent, as always! My fav guitarist and have been listening to him for almost 53 years. Hard to believe 'Hush" was one of my favorite songs back then and we listened to it on AM radio on our transistor radio, on top 40 in Chicago WLS it hit #5!
yupperz ! same here, only for me, it was kfxm 59. i was in riverside California those years !
Ritchie is hands down the best guitarist I've EVER heard, and I'm a musician, so that's a LOT! 🥰 But you haven't even heard the best of Ritchie until you listen to Blackmore's Night- he's just on a whole other level than everyone else! Listen to The Storm!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Blackmore is ABC of hard rock for every guitarist...there are thousands great guitarists all over the world, but none of them as specific, special as him. Sometimes I ger the impression he is not from this planet
ritchie & buck dharma !
THIS MAN IN HISTORY got so many talented people around him the list is pretty long.his legacy remains
from line up changes to album to album he always brought something new their discography speaks for itself.
He's a faster guitarist than most, cause he actually thinking and creating faster than most.
This is the third time I have watched this video and I am not a Guitarist but Ritchie for sure is my favorite. But I want to compliment you with your playing and great mind you have to understand what other Guitarists are doing. Analyzing seems very natural for you. Just want to thank you for helping me to at least understand techniques. Enjoyed this tremendously.
Thanks for the kind words!
"One day in the year of the fox
Came a time remembered well
When the strong young man of the rising sun
Heard the tolling of the great black bell"
Yessir! Mr. Ronnie James Dio
Nice one
I could listen to this all day. There's so much going on.
Ritchie Blackmore is an icon, always loved the raw emotion in his playing, technically great but never too perfect, emotions flavour and carry his solo's and playing to transcend the mere notes and techniques used.
I don't even play guitar, but I still found this analysis very entertaining. Well done, Fil.
For me, he will always the maestro - no-one else comes close. His understanding of light and shade is sublime. This guy is the reason I picked up a guitar in the first place. I have one of his guitar necks that he 'didn't want any more' Another superb analysis, Fil - you are the best!
Thanks!
Must be an honour to have it still :). Yeah, he's a fantastic guitarist and musician.
Actually Graham Bonnet was the singer right before JLT. he only did the one great album 'Down to Earth' but it was awesome. The drummer is the great Bobby Rondinelli! I love all versions of Rainbow! Great video Fil, thanks for the break down.
Ritchie ability to find talent and get a lot out of the musicians is a great asset of his. If he burned out musicians, it ended up being for our benefit.
I understand things from RB POV these days
Ritchie was always one of my favorites. Only a few guitarists can really make you feel it right in the pit of your chest: Ritchie was one of them. It's a pleasure sharing these moments with you, Fil. Thank you.
I love when Ritchie remembers he’s Ritchie Blackmore. So unique and savage.
Blackmore is the number 1!
No one has his Tone,Sound,Technical feel,Style! He is the God of Guitarist 🎸! Guitarist try copying him! Blackmore, Hendrix, Paige, SRV,Beck,Gilmore, Eddie, Clapton are all God's! To me Blackmore is #1 😊
1982 I was fresh out of high school and these bands dominated my high school years. Unfortunately I was never able to see them in concert I still rocked out to their music. Another great band from 82' April Wine. Such entertaining performances.
April Wine, yes such a great band. If you are interested in metal bands who remained under the radar and never 'made it' I would recommend a channel called 'Rare & Obscure Metal Archives'. It's a nice channel with loads of wonderful music. Al the best.
Ritchie will always be my favorite guitar hero. Great video Wings of Pegasus, I'm now a fan of your channel.🎸
Thanks!
@@wingsofpegasus No, Thank you. I appreciate your knowledge on guitars and guitar players. Keep up the good work.
Mr. Blackmore is the Master of shades. His technique, vibrato, and phrasing is unrivaled. In the 1970s Mr. Blackmore was “THE GUITARIST”! The shows were all about Ritchie, he was the conductor and everyone had to follow his lead. If I had one guitarist to see as my dying wish, it would be Mr. Blackmore. My favorite Guitarist is St. Randy, but I would choose Mr. Blackmore everyday.
Ritchie Blackmore has a great Vibrato very powerful that helps to give him his unique style Fil...
Saw Rainbow and Deep Purple a few times....great guitarist .Saw Rainbow at the Rainbow ! RIP Cozy .
I was so lucky to be on this tour standing side stage Ritchie really was in another dimension with his playing!💜💜😘
Thank you for sharing your reverence for the greatest guitarist ever!!!
Fil ....you are a great guitar player ......on your own merit! rock!
Thanks!
Really enjoyed your analysis of this performance. Richie is one of my favorites. He’s so brilliant.
Roger Glover is simply iconic on bass, what on earth was Richard thinking on the DP mk2 Japan tour?
Ritchie realized his error with RG..Bringing him back for several more records...He Had to bring him back...
Hi Fil, Great to see you featuring Ritchie as I have been listening to and also watching footage of Ritchie a lot over these past few weeks. He was one of the guitarists that I was really into from when I started playing myself back in the early 80s.I have always loved the look of the Strats that he used with the large headstock and of course his tone is superb IMO.
GREAT player with such a distinctive recognizable style! Excellent! Spot on analysis and great demo Fil. Thanks. 🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
Not difficult to spot where Yngwie got his inspiration from
Blackmore for sure, but he also said Hendrix was his main inspiration for playing rock n roll. Personally I love Hendrix and Blackmore, so it’s not difficult to imagine these two were his main inspiration.
Yngwie is fusion between Ritchie, Uli Jon Roth and Hendrix.
I don’t get Yngwie. To me, he is playing a boat load of notes in short time and that’s about it.
Yngwie often sidesteps talking about Ritchie, I suspect for that reason. I’ve come to really appreciate Yngwie over the years. He has developed his own unmistakable style. Making a virtue out of “more ... is more” as poss’ only he can.
Excellent stuff - been wanting this breakdown for a while 👍
Awesome! So glad you picked that particularly performance, it was such a big influence on me. Those beautiful, quiet, minor scale runs are so tasty.
Truly a professional assessment of R.B.'s technique, great job in breaking it down. It's not easy to disseminate Richie's simple yet complex style as he moves in and out of voicings and technique IMO. There is a lot packed in to this long performance that you have shown here, thank you.
One Reason Why other *Species* visit EARTH from other parts of the UNIVERSE****They* want to listen to 70s and 80s Rock and Roll!!!
Another great video ...
Badass!
Blackmores one of those rare guitarists that can improvise every solo he does, he may be the best improviser ever, and that sound of his is so distinctive, when you here him you know it’s him, you can’t imitate that kind of wild and edgy playing, love it!!
Beautifull video. Thanks!
you're so right about Ritchies stage presence. I've seen them all over nearly 50 years of gigging and he's simply electric, even in Blackmores Night he just has an aura that no-one else can match.
I love Richie, man. There is a great live version of Man on the Silver Mountain, where he really just goes all out. His fluidity, his touch, his sense of melody, its amazing
Maestro Blackmore is my all time favorite guitarist. I was fortunate to see them at 14 at Cal Jam . My older step sister kidnapped me and took me 😆😂😆
This is a particular favorite of mine
that's a gr8 sister !
I’ve always considered Ritchie Blackmore to be a solid step above all of the noodling and doodling VH wannabes who came out of the woodwork during the time frame spanning from the late 1970’s all the way into the early 1990’s. He was and still is not only technically proficient, but his playing is so packed full of feelings, emotions, and his own life experiences that no matter whether it’s clean or distorted, soft or loud, it is always expressive and imaginative to a level that cannot be measured. He is truly an original and one of a kind musician.
I have watched the San Antonio Concert many times. Blackmore's ability to change no matter who the singer is so creative. Ritchie has no equal. Master Blackmore.
Loved him since his Deep Purple days, but I now thoroughly enjoy him in Blackmore's Night
I watched Ritchie play with Rainbow in 2016 at the NEC in Birmingham , yes he was older but he still commanded that stage and brilliant , I remember what Ritchie said about Hendrix always searching for notes, I guess that means not searching for perfection as some of the speed demons today on guitar, that has stuck with me in my learning of the guitar in my 50's you never know what you will find that works lol, but here is cool story that was a from Ritchie that Clapton Beck Page and Blackmore all lived pretty much in the same area, I wonder what was in the water in that part of London,
Well, TECHNICALLY, Graham Bonnet was the previous singer...but your point about the "drama" is well made!
Yep!
Tier 1-legends like Ritchie, SRV, Alvin, Gary, not to mention Jimi or Eric, have a much larger musicality than most metal shredders (names deleted in the interest of good taste), whose solos seem pretty empty and interchangeable, mostly just scales and fireworks, whereas Ritchie's solos are filled with passion, invention, feel, always closely connected to the music, no matter how fast he's playing. Just my two cents, and of course I could be wrong, but Fil will set me straight if I am.
One of my favorite guitarist. But Fil , don't under estimate your ability. You are pretty damn good !!!
I saw this band in 83 in Memphis TN. Very good show. Have been a fan of Ritchie for 40 years
His playing alone messes with any guitarist's mind. Amazing band, too.
Excellent, I’ll be watching this again, and again, and again! 😁
The rainbow live album is a masterpiece. The opening alone is enough to melt your brain (over the rainbow, from"the wizard of Oz"), and that's only the beginning? He is truly one of the all time greats. Richie always leaves it ALL on the field.
Back in the 70's I first heard Rainbow rising, Stargazer blew me away and made my hair stand on end. Without that I would have never picked up the guitar
Thanks Fil, awesome video, awesome breakdown...
O melhor guitarrista no palco, ao vivo não tem igual. .Mestre.
Thank you for explaining and outlining the choreography of the song. 🙂 Ritchie is such a creative payer: Wow :-*
You do good informative educational breakdowns.. seems like I learn a little something with each video.. thanks
crazy!! awesome man in black
Love Ritchie and Brian May ...please react to Brians solo from Queen live in Montreal 1981
Ritchie Blackmore is one hell of a guitarist! Certainly my favourite guitarist and I put him up there with Hendrix 'cause not only he was a brilliant musician he also had the showmanship and really knew to how to make a good concert if he was inspired. Deep Purple Copenhagen 1972, Made In Japan, California Jam 1974 and Rainbow Live in Munich 1977 and Live Between The Eyes really show it
Great point about the great fit that Ronnie James Dio was for Ritchie in Rainbow being they were both very much into the theater of the music performance and experience.
Of course nobody else sounds like him and nobody else really plays like him either. And that's gold by itself. It is married to a troubled character though and one who was clearly fairly ruthless about what sort of people he wanted around him. Nice to see Joe Lynn Turner here as well. People seem to forget now how difficult it can be to project at that level and have the range to do it.
Probably my favourite concise solo of Ritchie's is Can't Happen Here. So much going on...
Yes it’s a good one. Kentucky Woman has another lesser known, great solo.
Fab analysis thanks! Masterful performance
One of my favorite songs by Rainbow.
I gotta be honest and say that I never shared the love that I had for early Deep Purple with anything thereafter.
Rock!
:-)
His strength is in his fingers, he uses all his fingers like a classical guitarist.
Loved early Rainbow, Tarot Woman is an all time jam. One thing though, wasn't it Joe Lyn Turner who was singing in 1982? Dio was gone and doing time with Black Sabbath at this time. Cheers! You sure are cranking out the heavy rock jams of late, love it!
Brilliant breakdown Fil.🤘
Thanks for this video, you pulled on and off well.
Awesome video and analysis as always Fil. Always wondered why there seemed to be such mixed opinions about Ritchie Blackmores talent on guitar. I always was very high on him as a top level player in both Deep Purple and Rainbow. I think some people wrongly saw his style as not as complicated or difficult as they perceived many of the other players in this genre when in reality to me it is very technically strong in every way. Perhaps they could not get past his unique style of playing and see the skill level that he truly had. Again great work and we appreciate you Fil. Blessings.
In my opinion Blackmore is one of the most under rated guitarists in music
ritchie & buck dharma !
I’ve watched a couple of your videos now and love your facial reaction when something moves you!!
This is one of my favourite live examples of Ritchie Blackmore. He’s just having fun and shows how he can turn an average studio track into something special. Shame about the camera work though. Catch the Rainbow is another example.
Happy Birthday To The Master & Many More!🥳🎸🎶🥂🌈💜
Blackmore was my favorite guitar player back in the early '70's .
Ritchie is very underrated in my opinion he will always be in a top 10 guitarist list up there with Hendrix Clapton Page SRV etc just a shame he left Deep Purple and Rainbow as im not a fan of Blackmores night.
Blackmore il migliore clapton e page buoni chitarristi ma troppo sopravalutati.
My favorite guitar players are Ritchie Blackmore, David Gilmour, Justin Hayward, and Tony Iommi.
A great analysis by Fil, I’ve always wondered about Ritchie’s playing style and Fil helped to explain a lot about his sound and chord usage. I’ve always admired his ability to play fast with great tone. Shout out to Fil as well, I’m always I impressed by the way he so effortlessly duplicates the tone and sound (punctuated by his trademark smile).
The story about Ritchie!s friend ruining the frets on his guitar is reminiscent of the story behind Jimmy Page’s legendary Dragon Telecaster. Jimmy left the guitar in the care of an artist friend when he went on tour. When he returned he discovered his friend had repainted the guitar as a “gift” which not only destroyed Jimmy’s original paint work but also ruined the sound. The guitar was originally given to him by Jeff Beck and was used on the first 3 Led Zep albums including the guitar solo on Stairway To Heaven.
This DVD, Live in Antonio, is actualy Ritchie's ever best filmed guitarwork.
Agreed, The Snippet of "Smoke" at the end shows the Power of that Riff. This Video (Live Between the Eyes) is Still my Favorite Concert Film of all Time. Changed my Life. Spoiled me when compared to other Players. Totally Captivating from Start to Finish. Still Have my Biases.........Saw This, Then Heard Perfect Strangers. After that the Bar was Set Really High. HOW ABOUT THAT GROWLING STRAT SOUND. Definitely some of RBs' Heaviest Recordings. FIRE---------
Love your take on Blackmore!-
This is really interesting analysis... Ritchie is even more brilliant than i could tell just by listening to his playing, as a non-guitarist.
Another excellent analysis!
Great ( o }====;;; demonstration
Keep Rockin' Fil.
Great to see you mention this (sorry I missed it live!) I saw the Straight Between The Eyes tour in 1982. Didn't know and appreciate what I saw until years later. The Scorpions were the opening act for them. lol. Good times.
Phil and Ritchie in the same sentence, HELL YEAH
My biggest mistake was that my first two albums that I listened to when I started getting into music were machine head and made in Japan. Sure other bands might have done one thing or another better but as a totality nobody did it better than Purple.
18:30 I can imagine Ritchie exploding. The poor guy who thought he was doing him a favour would have wilted.
Do you think that poor guy is alive or maybe he was the guy he shipped to Iceland passed out and naked 😎
Quite a few fans are critical of Blackmore's playing and tone in the 1980's, maybe with some justification, but the point, for me, is that Blackmore, unlike a lot of players, never stood still with his technique. He is recognisably still the same player as he was in the Child in Time video, but also quite different. This is probably my favourite performance from this era of his career, because there is a complete freedom to what he is doing, and so many different elements apparently thrown in randomly. I like the emphasis it puts on his rhythmic playing. I love the scratchy stuff with the muted and open strings, and the harmonics. I try to use that, when I think I can get away with it.
The musicians who change over time are the most interesting ones. Not only can musos go on a journey within a song, they can also go on a journey over the course of their careers.
He recently caught flak for stating that some of the guitar wizards who are now superstars and filled in the position he left at DP were ‘too perfect’. The social media erupted in criticism of his “lack of skill and technique” and how he was “jealous of his replacements” ... but I think he had a valid point to make. Most of the 3000 notes per minute technicians sound clinical, sterile and boring to me. I love the improvisational aspect in a lead instrumentalist, whatever be that instrument. Improvise, fly by the seat of your pants, pour what you feel out through your instrument - not regurgitate a bunch of licks and arpeggios in various permutations mindlessly.
@@daosnet It was a line taken in isolation from an interview about 10 years old that a media outlet invited the likes of Joe Satriani and Guthrie Govan to respond to. They got suckered. The interview as a whole was complimentary. I don't think modern players, given the kind of amp and effects technology available in the 1960's, and early 1970's, would be able to play the sorts of things they take for granted with what they have now.
@@delorangeade agreed. I was observing the outrage that followed from some social media icons. GG and JS are amazing and if they wanted to opine on something, they are more than qualified to do so. I’ve also watched a recent interview of JS where he simply said, Ritchie is a league of his own - precisely the point you raised, with the kind of limitations that musicians of that era had, everything Ritchie did was purely him - not aided by technology. Another highly underrated player of that era is John McLaughlin, who more or less invented guitar based jazz-fusion.
@@daosnet Ritchie knows how to play dramatic guitar while still letting the notes 'breathe' - ie by leaving the right amount of space between notes and by running and tapering the notes the right way. IMO, the masterful use of space and weighting is the mark of a good musician who feels what s/he's doing. Mark Knopfler, Andy Latimer and Elmer Bernstein are a few more great examples.
Great pick Fil. You always make me smile.
Good pick and Live. Always blows me away ever since I acquired that Finyl Vinyl cassette. Ritchie won't disappoint his fans.
Great job Fil! Blackmore, the man, the legend
