As Phenomenal as Ritchie was, he always gave his fellow Guitar Bro's a fair compliment. Even though he became the most imitated, and, influential guitarist of all time. He never gave bad blood to his competitors. Who he simple thought as, guitar brothers. The way we should all roll.
There are always similar discussions going on. Blackmore is an unique player, mostly what he ve done live with Purple and later Rainbow Shows that he S a special one. Other may be great, but the Man in Black is a class of his own, his acting, character, playing..
I agree. Complementary and otherwise. Jeff is a great, great guitarist, but he is not a multi-dimensional musician like Jimmy Page is. Blackmore is right.
I'm a Wes Montgomery lovin' kind of guy. The guy I've been most impressed with is Ritchie Blackmore, he did things on the guitar Hendrix could never do, not even close. Go watch & LISTEN to some old videos,....YIKES ! Blackmore kills !
Ritchie has always been complimentary about Jeff's guitar playing, and I think he picked up one or two tricks from him, particularly when it came to use of feedback and the whammy bar. The same is also true of David Gilmour, Alex Lifeson and Steve Vai amongst others. Beck has been hugely influential on other guitar players.
I'm sure ritchie picked up some tricks from jeff, but i dont think that its the whammy bar since jeff didnt really pick up a strat until the mid 70s? And even with the strat, jeff uses the tremolo very softly whereas blackmore had customized tremoloarms because the standard ones would constantly break due to him using the tremolo in such an extreme fashion
@@tobsixi6702 Jeff was using a strat on the Beat Club performance with Cozy Powell in 1972, although most of the footage seems to have disappeared from RUclips. At one point in the performance he leans back against his stack and uses the whammy bar to manipulate the feedback in the same way as Blackmore does in the live versions of Space Truckin' from around the same time. I can't honestly say who was the first to do this, but Blackmore did tone done his use of the bar in later years to something more subtle, although never in the way Jeff and the others I mentioned do it. ruclips.net/video/vb5GagBpA5s/видео.html
@@tobsixi6702 oh yeah. Richie had his style. He was developed at the time. Richie was playing Gibsons to back b4 Purple & some of the early Purple. 335 . it is weird seeing him w/ something other than a strat! Richie was saying it is harder playing a Strat than a Gibson( scale length). Jimi influenced most of those guys tho. Clapton. Page ,Beck Richie all had a style tho by then
Not really. Saw him once and he was boring as hell. I'll take Hendrix, Blackmore, Rory Gallagher and Alvin Lee over him any day. Page was boring also. Pete Townshend once said Page wasn't very good LIVE because he "always" played stoned......
Ritchie Blackmore is misunderstood and underrated. Ritchie always says his Jeff favorite. Hendrix Van Halen and Ritchie Blackmore. Page is just more famous Blackmore can write his own songs and keep a band focused produce a sing beginning to end. Blackmore can do all oh BTW what a slide guitarist 🎸 😉 👏 Blackmore love him hate him he is top 5 minimum in the world and you know it. Especially us musicians know what he's doing and why. He leaves space don't shread every second his playing is perfect reminds me of a Lazer. Think what you will he's a pioneer and influences millions and don't care what you think of him.
Yes, absolutely! Ritchie Blackmore is one of the greatest innovators of rock guitar. His solo on "Highway Star" is just as amazing as Eddie Van Halen's "Eruption" and then "Smoke on the Water" is one of the biggest Rock 'N' Roll anthem. Blackmore influenced many other greatest guitar players and has lots of fans all over the world!
Richie was my idol when i started out i saw deep purple about 11 times here in los angeles starting with in rock lp got of school got a job fot a strat a marshall and have been going ever sence no body sounds like richie
@@mariannwatt2678 could not agree more my friend. I was lucky enough to see Deep Purple (mrk 2 & 3) Led Zeppelin and my 2nd favorite Black Sabbath (mrk 1 & 2) in there glory days. Deep Purple was better live just was better. They're always threw a twist and excitement. My opinion Jon Lord rip is top 3 in the world with Wakeman Emerson easley just a gentlemen. No bravado just shocking and earth quaking Hammond B3 in your face lol love Jon Lord. Ian Pace top 3 or 5 in the world. Roger Glover top 10 bass player producer of Nazareth Rory Gallagher Elf Rainbow Judas Priest and others. Ian Gillian at that time best in the world 1 rock singers in the world child in time. In Rock is my number 1 lp of all time. Why metal and Black Sabbath also metal. Zeppelin not so much more blues and earth shocking and bit over rated in that regard. Ritchie Blackmore to me number 3 of all time just think he's that good catch him on good night when his strat no humming and whoever the band you got is following his lead look out. 🌩 lightning a force of nature pure clean hell. Lazer intense and focus. He's is an iconic and very underrated. Seen all Rainbow bands including in 78 with Dio and Cozy Powell David Stone Bob Daisly well you had a super group. We can go all day about how great Dio and Powell rip 🙏 are. That be another subject for days. Ritchie Blackmore is one of God's gifts to the world of rock. So many want to be him like a kid from Sweden that can't sing but can shread. So many tried to copy him but only one Blackmore in this world. Thanks for you comment and glad you see his brilliance as I do I feel alone sometimes I don't care I'm a musician also and we know what we hear and the balls and techniques Blackmore has in his pinky alone lol have great day rock on 🤘
@@barryrammer7906 yep youre right you and i have the same taste in bands as a young boy growing up with my guitar in LA i got to see them all cheers j watt axehammer band
@@mariannwatt2678 agreed my friend I feel very strongly about Blackmore. Eddie believe it or not idolized Ritchie to point of harassment lol he'd call Ritchie in the middle of the night drunk and tell him how much he loved him. Ritchie say Eddie with the British accent call me later hang up on him lol true story's. What Eddie did with the hammer on deal was brought to the light of day ever modern guitarist uses it to the point of stupidity. He was credited to bringing to main steam even tho few dabbled in it first who cares. Eddie is brilliant player. Now Hendrix he started it all no more said. Blackmore started neoclassical style that's why he get my vote for 3 in the world. His playing speaks volumes for its self. If you don't go be a Page fan boy that's the easy answer. You can say that no one will challenge you. Yes Page is brilliant but live I seen him at Madison Square Garden he was sloppy and looked out of it. Now Jones Paul Jones was in full control looking at Pagey change here do that jimmy with looking at him every change lol Bonzo Jones what a tight rythem section flawless 👌 Robert was awesome also had his shit together and boy what a poser lol girls loved him everything a good front man can be awesome singer had full control. 👏 Page was the weak link or I expected more because we seen Deep Purple first he going to blow Ritchie Blackmore's ass off. No the opposite happened in our view. We were disappointed and either he was drugged up drunk to the point of no return. I don't know but the other 3 flawless especially Jones and Bonzo. Just me on an and few if us on an island 🏝 😉 but we are on the right island. Cheers my brother and rock on 🤘
@Coogan Yes technically Beck and Page are better, and I love them both. But Blackmore's intensity, control, melodic phrasing, articulation tone and feel are more pleasing to my ears.
Hendrix mentioned to Billy Gibbons (when the Moving Sidewalks toured with Jimi) about an album he was listening to that blew him away, Jeff Beck's "Truth." Mike Bloomfield claims "Beck's Bolero" had an impact on Jimi.
I read somewhere that Billy said Hendrix played that record over and over trying to figure out Becks sounds/techniques. Hendrix actually did a tribute to Beck as well as playing on stage with him in NY...
Great GREAT story my friend...That Jeff beck quote about the rainbow album title was brilliant!!!. I didnt knew that. Blow by blow and Beck-Ola are amazing albums. Mr Kar my greetings for you!!!!
yeah what ever. Blackmore recorded the YardBirds song, "Still I'm Sad" and made it his own. Blackmore did something there Page and Beck did not notice. when you play B minor over F# you get Phrigian, then Blackmore's slide playing and flashy open strings brought it all together. Even Yngwie can't touch Blackmore on SLIDE GUITAR!
@@tiborzkarate1 I like Blackmoore over Page too and I love Gillian,Dio,Bonnet and Turner's singing over Page. And Ian Paice is an awesome drummer. But John Bonham is indeed the greatest rock drummer bar none! A lot of Zep'songs had some bonehead riffs but some of that folk stuff like Going to California, Battle of Evermore, When the Levy breaks. Some of that stuff is killer!
Now here is where it gets strange: Jimmy Page is adamant that he never even MET Ritchie, let alone played with him (author Jerry Bloom spoke to Jimmy and confirms this)! I am a huge Ritchie fanatic (favorite guitarist of all time, have all his albums/ cd/dvds, etc), but I sense either a wind-up or something perhaps based on a kernel of truth (i.e. Trident-era Beck was in a Joe Meek session and Blackmore was merely present). There ARE photos of Ritchie and Jeff together (with drummer Cozy Powell, who played with both [which you have in the video]), but these are circa 1979-1980, not 1965ish. On another note- it seems there is zero doubt that Blackmore twice opened for Eric Clapton in the 1960's AND Clapton saw a Rainbow show in 1981 [all documented in interviews with others], yet, to my knowledge, Clapton has never once mentioned Ritchie and no films or photos show them together. I always found that strange.
I find that weird… They lived almost in the same town and hung out in the same clubs. They both knew Jim Sullivan very well and worked in the same studios. I think Clapton, Beck and Page had this private club and the media latched on to those three since the Yardbirds. Also, Blackmore always bad mouthing people rubbed a lot of elites the wrong way.
@@thetruthhurts6652 Ritchie just wrote yesterday: "First met Jeff Beck around 64-65 and it was a session where we were both playing guitars and Jimmy Page was producing. I couldn’t believe how incredible he was, not only with his technique but his sound too. I became a fan of his ever since. He could reach up into the stars and make magic with his playing. His choice of notes were always absolutely perfect. This whole thing is a shock. We shall always remember Jeff as the best rock and roll player." I suspect the truth is on Ritchie’s side AND Page is correct that the two never formally met in the traditional sense. For example, I have been a part of in-person work projects involving people from other departments who I never formally met, yet (especially if one became famous) I could later claim that “we worked together.” ZERO doubt that Blackmore and Beck met- in addition to the 1979 photos of the two of them together (with Powell), Beck mentions him in a 1975 interview as knowing him back in the early 1960's.
Jimmy met Ritchie over at Mr. crowley's house I'm Scottland. Ritchie wanted to buy the house Jimmy bought it first. They had lunch exchanged fake pleasantries and moved on. That's a fact and well documented. One Ritchie best friends was Bonzo. They hang out a lot. So Jimmy is bring wierd.
Ritchie said "I've never heard of you" like he had already a big name himself. He put himself superior to Jeff and the next time he saw Jeff, Jeff paid him back. Ritchie didn't get that.
I think you missed the in between the lines inflection: I have never heard of you (although I should have because you are a very good guitar player and you should be famous).... do you get it now?
If Blackmore said it with a smile then the inflection was meant (typical UK sense of humour) Beck said the same again probably with a smile. There is nothing untoward or sinister or anything bad meant. I practice this type of humour all the time...
Ritchie never said a bad word about a few people. I know one thing he loved Jeff Beck as we do. Jeff is special Ritchie actually more famous than Jeff. Page more famous than Blackmore. Don't mean the Beck and Blackmore are not better. I think those 2 are. Just me I love Page too just sloppy guitarist especially on his Les Paul days. They play like butter. A strat is a bitch to play you earn ever note and with a stack of amps they hum. I'm a musician 36 years trust me Les Paul's are beutiful heavey play like butter. But the necks on them warp on tour and the intonenation goes out your cooked. Little secret for so you better have back ups.
I heard in an interview from Blackmore himself how he use to get in trouble for looking out the window at school... Then later he said how on meeting Bob Dylan, Dylan said to Blackmore, "Hey, who the hell are you?" Ritchie said he said nothing to Dylan turned and walked away and continued to look out the window...
I never heard that one I know he loved Bob's song writing ability. Ritchie said he can write a song about anything and there good. He's never out of material kinda like when he had poor Joe Lynn Turner he said Joe had a magic bag of words for any song. I never heard him say a bad word about those 2 ever. Amazing thanks for the info so Bob gaft Ritchie off well Ritchie done the same to others. Lol
I always felt that Ritchie Blackmore was underrated. Just the album Machine Head spoke volumes of his hard hitting and soulful creativity on the lead-work on that album much less the albums that followed...
PAge was right when he said that Blackmore came from classical guitar tuition, meanwhile himself and many others came from the blues. and jeff Beck in the 60's was playing a sort of boogie woogie of his own.
The reason Page didn't speak of Blackmore much was that Page wanted to spearhead the dark spin on the blues by melding in Moorish influences and so did Ritchie. Page almost got there but Blackmore took it further and more completely as evidenced by live performances of Catch the Rainbow in the Dio period. Nobody has ever made the blues darker and more dreary than Ritchie and it pissed Page off. Beck admired that in Blackmore and Clapton knew Ritchie was a fierce player but found him too intense to relate too.
Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Hendrix all had different strengths in the world of rock guitar. No one can be, or do everything. Add to that Pete Townsend and John Fogerty, Lennon, McCartney and Harrison.
My friend you left out Ritchie Blackmore I don't know if your a musician or fan. I'm both Blackmore is early same breath as the guys you mentioned. Have great day awesome list.
@@barryrammer7906 I left him out because I never listened to him, or Deep Purple. Thus, I was in no position to make a judgement. The guitarists I mentioned though really created that whole mid to late sixties rock sound, and made huge contributions to song writing. It was not meant to be a complete list, but just a casual comment. On the other hand, I can't think of notable guitarists that I've excluded, that fall into that category.
@@thetruthhurts6652 No offence, but you assume I have time for this, or interest? Deep Purple never interested me. Besides, I'm busy with too many other things these days. Cheers.
I don't know about Jeff Beck not being able to write a sing. His covers were so original, it was like a brand new song. He didn't steal song credits like other guitarists.
Blackmore beat clapton up. Page is the better Songwriter but in case of soloing Blackmore is by far the better man. Beck is a other thing, he has a unique style but blackmore is much more technical
You are joking right, Blackmore more technical??? I love Ritchie but sorry, Beck has constantly innovated and his control of the whammy bar is godlike. Do you know Beck’s music, because if you did, you wouldn’t make such a comment, just listen to Blow by Blow for example?
Deep Purple was opening for Jimi Hendrix Experience in the US..........Ritchie basically was always better than Beck and Page technically or writing songs.
I'm pretty sure that somewhere in that conversation, when they said, "we need to do something about this GUY...", the n-word fell in there. It was that time and a commonality among British and American musicians of the time. They all were upset, to say the very least.... This guy just comes out of the clouds and sweeps aside like so much dust, right under the rug.
Jimi ha inventto il chitarrismo moderno, un nuovo modo di stare sul palco, pazzo, sensuale, accattivante ... da qui la sua grandezza ... ma tecnicamente non era affatto una cima ...
Io reputo Blackmore anni luce avanti a tutti e due , nonostante sempre snobbato da una certa stampa di regime ... Page ridicolo tecnicamente, Beck mi fa venire il latte alle palle ...
To bad he is a legend a pioneer and and one of the best guitarist God ever put in this world. Do you mean as a person I get that or as a guitarist ? If so why ? If you have a moment no hate here just want to understand why people hate him ? I'm not a fan boy a professional musician for 37 years. Just curious respectfully asking thank you if you answer have a great say.
@@neddobrijevic3183 really ? I think you are on a island 🏝. Let me respectfully ask you this ? So technically speaking you think he's overrated. I'm a professional musician lead vocals guitar and bass guitar. I opened up for national acts in arenas aquite a few times. I am dont dare think I was good as the bands we opened for. We did our best to blow there doors off. They Sabotage your sound wont let you use your own sound man light etc. Just making a point what your up against on the food chain when your up and coming. Not successful that why im talking to you now lol. You know these bands names leave at that. I respectfully disagree with you if speaking technically. He started neoclassical music snake charmer scale all musicians use today. In his prime the fastest lead guitarist in the world. He learned to leave space his credited to be the first shredder. All I can say is Jimmy Hendrix said to Eric Clapton when seeing Deep Purple backing up (remember what I told you about opening up) Cream in Mark 1 " Hendrix said who is this guy meaning (Ritchie Blackmore) Eric? He just blew your doors off." One of Hendrix favorite guitarist in the world is Ritchie Blackmore and Billy Gibbons of ZZ top. They asked Hendrix who's the best guitarist in the world he said ask Ritchie Blackmore and Billy Gibbons That's good enough for me. Also Eddie Van Halens favorite guitarist is Ritchie Blackmore. Also hundreds of others. I just picked two you can't deny there greatness as rock guitarist. Rock on 🤘 my brother. I also see you use Richie instead of Ritchie Blackmore his stage name is this personal?
LOL! I swear that is what I always felt about Page? I can picture him living in the studio trying to Perfect every sound on every incredible Zeppelin album, as they ALL were, Wile his guitars get dusty... Unlike a Beck, Blackmore, Clapton etc. who I'd be willing to bet have never went a day in there lives with a guitar in their hands? Page is just different in that way & its always show in live performances sadly 😟 But I'd never change a thing as I still believe Page is the GOAT Overall in all the incredible body of work & influence that dwarfs the others IMO.

From what I read Ritchie and Page were more rivals. Zep were the top dogs but Purple were always nipping at their heels!
True, Ritchie even admits Deep Purple became more heavy after hearing Led Zeppelin.

I couldn’t believe how incredible he was, not only with his technique but his sound too. I became a fan of his ever since. He could reach up into the stars and make magic with his playing. His choice of notes were always absolutely perfect. This whole thing is a shock. We shall always remember Jeff as the best rock and roll player." I suspect the truth is on Ritchie’s side AND Page is correct that the two never formally met in the traditional sense. For example, I have been a part of in-person work projects involving people from other departments who I never formally met, yet (especially if one became famous) I could later claim that “we worked together.” ZERO doubt that Blackmore and Beck met- in addition to the 1979 photos of the two of them together (with Powell), Beck mentions him in a 1975 interview as knowing him back in the early 1960's.
Maybe Jimmy Page doesn't remember people he has met well. I think what can be said that they didn't have lot of contact even if they met.
Jimmy met Ritchie over at Mr. crowley's house I'm Scottland. Ritchie wanted to buy the house Jimmy bought it first. They had lunch exchanged fake pleasantries and moved on. That's a fact and well documented. One Ritchie best friends was Bonzo. They hang out a lot. So Jimmy is bring wierd.
Ritchie said "I've never heard of you" like he had already a big name himself. He put himself superior to Jeff and the next time he saw Jeff, Jeff paid him back. Ritchie didn't get that.
I think you missed the in between the lines inflection: I have never heard of you (although I should have because you are a very good guitar player and you should be famous).... do you get it now?
I reckon Blackmore would of known exactly what was going on next time he met him.
If Blackmore said it with a smile then the inflection was meant (typical UK sense of humour) Beck said the same again probably with a smile. There is nothing untoward or sinister or anything bad meant. I practice this type of humour all the time...
Ritchie never said a bad word about a few people. I know one thing he loved Jeff Beck as we do. Jeff is special Ritchie actually more famous than Jeff. Page more famous than Blackmore. Don't mean the Beck and Blackmore are not better. I think those 2 are. Just me I love Page too just sloppy guitarist especially on his Les Paul days. They play like butter. A strat is a bitch to play you earn ever note and with a stack of amps they hum. I'm a musician 36 years trust me Les Paul's are beutiful heavey play like butter. But the necks on them warp on tour and the intonenation goes out your cooked. Little secret for so you better have back ups.

Right On !! Now you're talking!!!
if you've been playing guitar for any length of time you know jeff was the guy.
I heard in an interview from Blackmore himself how he use to get in trouble for looking out the window at school...
Then later he said how on meeting Bob Dylan, Dylan said to Blackmore, "Hey, who the hell are you?"
Ritchie said he said nothing to Dylan turned and walked away and continued to look out the window...
I never heard that one I know he loved Bob's song writing ability. Ritchie said he can write a song about anything and there good. He's never out of material kinda like when he had poor Joe Lynn Turner he said Joe had a magic bag of words for any song. I never heard him say a bad word about those 2 ever. Amazing thanks for the info so Bob gaft Ritchie off well Ritchie done the same to others. Lol
@@barryrammer7906 Ritchie talks Dylan ruclips.net/video/aZw7e8Ynm2Y/видео.html
I always felt that Ritchie Blackmore was underrated. Just the album Machine Head spoke volumes of his hard hitting and soulful creativity on the lead-work on that album much less the albums that followed...
PAge was right when he said that Blackmore came from classical guitar tuition, meanwhile himself and many others came from the blues. and jeff Beck in the 60's was playing a sort of boogie woogie of his own.
I would add - - - you have to play with 3 balls---a guitar, a songwriter, and a singer. Like Hendrix.
The reason Page didn't speak of Blackmore much was that Page wanted to spearhead the dark spin on the blues by melding in Moorish influences and so did Ritchie. Page almost got there but Blackmore took it further and more completely as evidenced by live performances of Catch the Rainbow in the Dio period. Nobody has ever made the blues darker and more dreary than Ritchie and it pissed Page off. Beck admired that in Blackmore and Clapton knew Ritchie was a fierce player but found him too intense to relate too.
Cada quien es mejor en lo que hace, ninguno es peor, Beck no hará cosas estilo Blackmore y viceversa. Disfrutar de su música.
Good vids Dude!
Big thanks!
Ritchie los coge a todos y los liquida
Ritchie el mejor guitar de la historia los demás a barrer el piso
BLACKMORE UN GRANDE GENIO FORSE NESSUNO COME LUI.
Esatto fratello !
Grande
Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Hendrix all had different strengths in the world of rock guitar.
No one can be, or do everything.
Add to that Pete Townsend and John Fogerty, Lennon, McCartney and Harrison.
My friend you left out Ritchie Blackmore I don't know if your a musician or fan. I'm both Blackmore is early same breath as the guys you mentioned. Have great day awesome list.
@@barryrammer7906 I left him out because I never listened to him, or Deep Purple.
Thus, I was in no position to make a judgement.
The guitarists I mentioned though really created that whole mid to late sixties rock sound, and made huge contributions to song writing.
It was not meant to be a complete list, but just a casual comment. On the other hand, I can't think of notable guitarists that I've excluded, that fall into that category.
@@russellparratt9859 You should listen to everything Blackmore did from In Rock to Down to Earth. Then you can move forward from that.
@@thetruthhurts6652 No offence, but you assume I have time for this, or interest?
Deep Purple never interested me.
Besides, I'm busy with too many other things these days.
Cheers.
@@russellparratt9859 no offence taken. Frankly I dont give two sh|t$ lol
3.30 is that John Bonham on drums ?
no...Carmine Appice..... from the BBA era !!!
I don't know about Jeff Beck not being able to write a sing. His covers were so original, it was like a brand new song. He didn't steal song credits like other guitarists.
Never liked Becks style , great musician but flavor was as good as EVH or Richie Blackmoore 👍
Blackmore beat clapton up. Page is the better Songwriter but in case of soloing Blackmore is by far the better man. Beck is a other thing, he has a unique style but blackmore is much more technical
You are joking right, Blackmore more technical??? I love Ritchie but sorry, Beck has constantly innovated and his control of the whammy bar is godlike. Do you know Beck’s music, because if you did, you wouldn’t make such a comment, just listen to Blow by Blow for example?
Exactly! All the greats bow down to Beck, he is on a whole other level...
Blackmore's solo in Child in Time studio is one of the best ever. I don't know 1 solo by Jeff Beck. I don't really like him.
Then you should try listening to his music.... He is the best rock guitarist that ever lived...
@@johnnybird7593 I saw Robin Trower live. Also Carlos Santana. I prefer to listen to them. It's a matter of taste.
Deep Purple was opening for Jimi Hendrix Experience in the US..........Ritchie basically was always better than Beck and Page technically or writing songs.
Deep Purple never opened for Jimi Hendrix
@@bartrobinson2103 Correct I mixed it up. Deep Purple open for Cream in US tour.
@@tiborzkarate1i think Blackmore is better than Clapton all day long. But nowhere near Beck, he says that himself...😂
I'm pretty sure that somewhere in that conversation, when they said, "we need to do something about this GUY...", the n-word fell in there. It was that time and a commonality among British and American musicians of the time. They all were upset, to say the very least.... This guy just comes out of the clouds and sweeps aside like so much dust, right under the rug.
How do you know. Stop assuming the worst in people. You were not there you don't know what a stupid comment.
Blackmore, Clapton,??? Hendrix Is the best ever, loved when I heard Jimmy asked Clapton to come up and tune his guitar. Class.
its Jimi
Jimi ha inventto il chitarrismo moderno, un nuovo modo di stare sul palco, pazzo, sensuale, accattivante ... da qui la sua grandezza ... ma tecnicamente non era affatto una cima ...
So Ritchie and Back made a pact and killed Hendrix....they had a motiv!
Blackmore better that Beck &Page
Blackmore
Io reputo Blackmore anni luce avanti a tutti e due , nonostante sempre snobbato da una certa stampa di regime ... Page ridicolo tecnicamente, Beck mi fa venire il latte alle palle ...
Hendrix, Blackmore, Page in that order.
Ritchie el guitarrista más grande de la historia coge a esos tres y los destroza
ritchie dérange beaucoup de guitariste de l'époque , ils ne le mentionnent pas car en fait ils sont incapable de faire ce qu'il fait
I never liked Ritchie blackmore
To bad he is a legend a pioneer and and one of the best guitarist God ever put in this world. Do you mean as a person I get that or as a guitarist ? If so why ? If you have a moment no hate here just want to understand why people hate him ? I'm not a fan boy a professional musician for 37 years. Just curious respectfully asking thank you if you answer have a great say.
I.never heard any.music I liked
I don't like Richard Blackmore overrated guitar player always has been
@@neddobrijevic3183 really ? I think you are on a island 🏝. Let me respectfully ask you this ? So technically speaking you think he's overrated. I'm a professional musician lead vocals guitar and bass guitar. I opened up for national acts in arenas aquite a few times. I am dont dare think I was good as the bands we opened for. We did our best to blow there doors off. They Sabotage your sound wont let you use your own sound man light etc. Just making a point what your up against on the food chain when your up and coming. Not successful that why im talking to you now lol. You know these bands names leave at that. I respectfully disagree with you if speaking technically. He started neoclassical music snake charmer scale all musicians use today. In his prime the fastest lead guitarist in the world. He learned to leave space his credited to be the first shredder. All I can say is Jimmy Hendrix said to Eric Clapton when seeing Deep Purple backing up (remember what I told you about opening up) Cream in Mark 1 " Hendrix said who is this guy meaning (Ritchie Blackmore) Eric? He just blew your doors off." One of Hendrix favorite guitarist in the world is Ritchie Blackmore and Billy Gibbons of ZZ top. They asked Hendrix who's the best guitarist in the world he said ask Ritchie Blackmore and Billy Gibbons That's good enough for me. Also Eddie Van Halens favorite guitarist is Ritchie Blackmore. Also hundreds of others. I just picked two you can't deny there greatness as rock guitarist. Rock on 🤘 my brother. I also see you use Richie instead of Ritchie Blackmore his stage name is this personal?
@@barryrammer7906 no they asked Hendrix who's the greatest guitar and he said ask Rory Gallagher and Hendrix influence is the blues
LOL! I swear that is what I always felt about Page? I can picture him living in the studio trying to Perfect every sound on every incredible Zeppelin album, as they ALL were, Wile his guitars get dusty... Unlike a Beck, Blackmore, Clapton etc. who I'd be willing to bet have never went a day in there lives with a guitar in their hands? Page is just different in that way & its always show in live performances sadly 😟 But I'd never change a thing as I still believe Page is the GOAT Overall in all the incredible body of work & influence that dwarfs the others IMO.
