so many great Rock players of 60's/70's and what sets them apart was their creativity and writing ability, something that today's technical wizard/shredders DO NOT HAVE.
~~ Jeff Beck often said that for guitar players - "the guitar is your voice" - which is why so much of his material was without any vocalist - and when he did covers of Beatles songs - his lead guitar was doing the vocal melody part of the song - but it sounded completely natural - something most guitar players could not do ..
look, theyre all astounding but you would have to say beck is possibly the greatest and the first to push progressive electric guitar in that the early 60's
~~ 1964 was middle of Clapton's run with Yardbirds - I'm sure Blackmore heard them with Eric - but Richie has never been one to give much praise to Clapton ..
@@billyz5088 He has recently, though. In the tales from the tavern- series on his own channel, he's spoken very warmly about Cream and Clapton. Also, it's no secret that Lazy was inspired by Steppin' Out off of the Beano album.
Can't argue with Blackmore's top 3 with Beck at #1. There are many amazing rock guitarists and music is subjective with people having different preferences in terms of musical tastes, so there are lots of great players to choose from. No wrong answers if your top three is different. However, Beck, Hendrix and Van Halen were so influential on guitar playing back in their era and beyond. Decades later their impact is still felt.
Wow - I've Never heard him speak-well of any other guitarist. Always came-off as Jealous . . . and-a-Hater (even though he is really good) ??? Guy even said: "Never one to give compliments lightly" about Blackmore.
The only fact about admire more Beck that's make deserve more respect on Blackmore because anybody talks about Hammett when he's a overrated guitar player and even today that guy can't play right a melody :" i saw him playing ,"The Final Countdwon melody" and he sound too bad like a kid trying the guitar for a third time. Blackmore , Hendrix,Beck and Robin Trower.
These old school guitarists definitely had electric dynamism and got things going, however the bar has been raised since by guys like Per Nilsson, Tony McAlpine, Ron Bumblefoot Thai, Matteo Mancuso and many others. No doubt about it.
This appears to be poor and boring content exclusively produced with the help of AI by presumably lazy individuals leveraging other people’s fame and click bait techniques, blending historical events and facts with rather questionable and unproven statements… quite annoying to hear and see and not really worth of any attention.
Page was around in 1966 playing second fiddle to Jeff Beck in The Yardbirds, strange he didn't cause a sensation or have other guitarists including Beck reevaluating their careers as a certain unknown American did when he arrived in England later that same year.
talent wise - the opposite is kind of true - they are both great riff-masters - but Page could often be a sloppy player - esp. on lead breaks - Blackmore much more precise and always in control ..
Blackmore would play rings around Page, even when Page was at his best in the very early seventies. What Page had, though, that Blackmore lacked completely, was studio knowledge. Blackmore hated being in the studio, whilst Page was the diamentral opposite; he was even one of the best record producers of the entire 1970s (Led Zeppelin's fourth studio album is one of the best produced rock albums of all time). If you compare the two bands, Led Zeppelin could excell in the studio, thanks to Page's allmost genius-level skills there, whilst Deep Purple were dependent on having a good day whilst they were in, but excelled like crazy on stage. Cue the Zeppelin mafia posting a veritable flame war of comments in five... four... three... two... 😜
I can't think of one memorable Iommi solo. Ozzy had to wait until he found Randy Rhoads for a decent solo. Ritchie is light years ahead of Iommi as far as guitar solos go...Iron Man, War Pigs, Paranoid...hahahaha
@@G.O.P. They ruled but Iommi was not a virtuoso. I am drawing a blank thinking of a decent solo...maybe something off "Heaven & Hell" or "Mob Rules" is his best
With *creative melodies* and unique sound *Ritchie Blackmore* is the king of the guitar riffs and solo parts
Iommi is 👑

Brian may Martin barre garry Moore dave gilmore alvin Lee Rory Gallagher the list goes on!.
B.B.King, Albert King, buddy guy, Srv, Robin trower and on and on
Ronnie Pickering !!!
Mr. Blackmore has all the skills. His ability to captivate the audience is on the same level as the other guitarists discussed in this video. ✌️✌️
Blackmore said too that Beck couldn't write memorable songs and that's one of the reason why I prefer Ritchie.
I always felt that Ritchie had complete control of his guitar. The guy is just faultless.
look, theyre all astounding but you would have to say beck is possibly the greatest and the first to push progressive electric guitar in that the early 60's
What about Rory Gallagher
Great to see O'l Sour Puss saying something *nice* lol about time!
Smile once in a while Ritchie 😊
Sloppy jimmy
He do but not so much.
His face would break.
Agree with Blackmore completely, these three are truly the three greatest.
And Blackmore is sadly the only one still with us…. 😢
Shapes of Things was released in 1966.
I caught that too.

Machine Gun Hendrix and Echoes Pink Floyd for me.
Two of my favourites as well. Child in Time off of Made in Japan would be a third.
@@Innerspace100 Made in Japan got that album 👍
O.k it's not guitar talk but where did he buy his new hair, it looks better than in the 70's. Looks good.
5:51
5:55
6:15
I couldn’t disagree more
4:06 What do you think Jimi was angry about?
I wondered that, probably Noel Redding saying something dumb....
Ok with Ritchie Blackmore Jeff Beck is number one and by far, the guitarist of guitarists... but don't forget Alvin Lee and Leslie West
Beck was a guitarist for guitarists. Blackmore wrote riffs for the world.
I agree. Beck #1, EVH, Blackmore, Page, Hendrix. Top 5 Hendrix 5 due to short career.
🎸
Come On Itchie
Get The MK lll Line Up
Going….We Want To
Hear The Burn 🔥
Album Live Just One
More Time F@%#
Eddie van Halen always told stories with his guitar playing? Not when he was shredding, he didn't.
Yes he did, he told the story of a hamster running at very high speed on a little wheel
Rory Gallagher was a magical guitar player sadly missed and the late great Gary Moore.
Wow - I've Never heard him speak-well of any other guitarist. Always came-off as Jealous . . . and-a-Hater (even though he is really good) ??? Guy even said: "Never one to give compliments lightly" about Blackmore.
Page !! 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
E Rory Gallagher???
One of the taurus ever
Hammer- ons go back to Segovia at least.
Jimmy Page should top the list.
All these men were Great, but to me. RANDY RHOADES is my Favorite, he is still Beloved by Many

The master the WIZARD none other than JIMMY PAGE
Not in this video
Groupie

Page was better than Hendrix!

No
Hendrix is very overrated, but he did only have a 3 year career....who knows what he would have done had he lived
Nah
No
I always thought Blackmore was a poor man’s Jimmy Page.
Haha yes to he an with the wire hair
And now es THE WIG
to he
talent wise - the opposite is kind of true - they are both great riff-masters - but Page could often be a sloppy player - esp. on lead breaks - Blackmore much more precise and always in control ..
Blackmore was way better than page.
You know what thought did ?
Followed a shit cart and thought it was a wedding 😬

Tony Iommi has of thousand riffs. I believe him a tremendous influence. But Ritchie had smoke on the water.
I can't think of one memorable Iommi solo. Ozzy had to wait until he found Randy Rhoads for a decent solo. Ritchie is light years ahead of Iommi as far as guitar solos go...Iron Man, War Pigs, Paranoid...hahahaha
@@pulsarlights2825 in the seventies those two masters ruled!. Just like VH and RRhoads did in the eighties!.
