50 Ritchie Blackmore Riffs Played Back-to-Back

[@zckls]

The fact that I can listen to this video and still think of great examples you didn't choose just demonstrates how astonishingly proflific Blackmore is with guitar riffs.

[@showmasterd]

yup. i missed black masquerade, the battle rages on, a twist in the tale, and everything from slaves and masters, as well as hard lovin' man... oh.

[@zckls]

The first two which sprang to my mind were Why Didn't Rosemary and Village On The Sand. But there are tons more.

[@AKnatta]

The Master of the masters. Pure guitar genius. Amazing amount of riffs and solos of genius. Best known for his riffs but he did incredible solos too. Also a fantastic showman... he had everything.

[@The5Edie]

A school book for all young guitarists!

[@MK-md3jb]

The sheer vol. of his guitar riffs is astounding, even his last Rainbow, stranger in us all, has amazing riffs. Page was great but when LZ broke up it was over, Iommi another master but still prefer RB's work. Just my personal taste of course

[@shonen_arcade]

blackmore is the best guitarist ever

[@ThrashRoC]

Definetley he is a GIANT and one of the 5 ABSOLUTE Top Players in Hard Rock ! Deep Purple was ONLY with Blackmore Great ..He is THE ROCK DIVA !

[@lawrence1960]

Not true...no such thing...

[@The11thEye]

@Captain Bruh The first wheel is never the best. The first person to paint well wasn’t the best painter ever, either. Try another argument.

[@latos0235]

@Captain Bruh there's no such thing as being objective with music, everything is subjective.

[@aungmyatkaung4293]

@Captain Bruh Shut up, all Jimi did was play blues & rock, other than that playing with teeth or on the back or between his leg, he was never the first to do any of this lol

[@thetruthhurts6652]

That is awesome stuff. For part 2 you can squeeze in Hard Loving Man, Flight of the Rat, The Mule, Sail Away, High Ball Shooter, Lady of the Lake, No Time To Lose, Can’t Happen Here, Freedom Fighter, Mid Town Tunnel Vision, Black and White, Fire in the Basement, Cut Runs Deep and Ramshackle Man

[@cutwater1965]

He is a guitar god. Thanks for the demo...

[@sergejmiladinovic1181]

For those who are interested, Blacky released a new song with the reincarnated Rainbow with Ronnie Romero as the singer, it's called Waiting for a Sign and I find it quite good, especially the riff...

[@steviemacmuttley]

the new Rainbow are total crap and as for the singer - he is useless.

[@martindoherty6855]

That is just stunning. The nearest thing to Blackmore I have seen on KZbin

[@austinjohnston5176]

This was incredible. Ritchie would be proud.

[@Diy-fever]

thanks, very kind of you! :)

[@repetitivemotion]

Fanstastic job! Ritchie and Purple are the best. Their music is so different than other artists. You play it very well. We marvel at what Blackmore was able to come up with. Who else can match him riff for riff? Nobody

[@Diy-fever]

Thanks! :)

[@Minseito]

@Bj D Spot on fella, my thoughts exactly on those three bands

[@jamieokane989]

Tony Iommi

[@jamieokane989]

Stil I’m sad isn’t a Ritchie creation.

[@repetitivemotion]

@@jamieokane989 true, but he’s the one that breathed life into it. The Yardbirds’ version sounds like a death march.

Wow, that was kind of a dream come true to see those riffs played in one sitting. Great job!

Blackmore as a guitarist is hard to beat

[@sbgaming5006]

Superb, thanks for sharing that..... the amount of amazing riffs Ritchie as come up with over the years is astounding, the man has been so creative, and this is why he will always be my favourite guitarist.

[@Diy-fever]

thanks! He's amazing even before we get into solos, which are equally as good as the riffs :)

Man, I had forgotten how many great riffs he had and also how many great solos.

[@latos0235]

There are so many awesome blackmore riffs that even a list of 50 isn't enough to fit all of them. There are always gonna be good riffs that are not making the cut

[@Romulus980]

A very thorough accomplished performance, I enjoyed it very much. It also reflects the utter musicianship of Ritchie Blackmore and his ability to adabt different melodic strains.....

[@plj471]

Just listened all the way through. You have talent yourself to be able to step into Richie's shoes and play his riffs like the original sounded. Nice tone on your playing also. Well done. Blackmore sure is a masterful musician. I am proud to be able to say I saw them 3 times in Cardiff when those early riffs were hot off the press. Together with Led Zep and Sabbath. Then ELP and early Genesis. What a time to live.!!!

[@hugq14]

Black Night wasn't released on In Rock, but as a single in June 1970 if I remember correctly. However, it was included in the 25th anniversary release of the aforementioned album.

[@Diy-fever]

correct

[@hugq14]

Reading my post 5 months after the fact, I realize that I forgot to mention that you did a great job on those riffs!!! I’ve been a DP fan since I was 12, and In Rock is still my favorite of their albums! It was the second LP that I ever got, in 74! Keep on rockin’!!

Blackmore is an icon. Riffs for days. My first 8 track was “Made in Japan”. I was six. I’ve been a fan ever since. Often Blackmore is disrespected by the rock “intelligencia”. He’s numero uno in my book. Long Live Rock n Roll. Long Live Ritchie Blackmore.

[@MrStevecro]

he's not heard by many young folk now. But he's not under-rated by those who become familiar with his stuff. I'm 65 and just met a 27 year old on a tour who told me of Ritchie, a guitarist in "Blackmore's Night" who she really liked. I filled her in on his history, starting with DP then Rainbow. She really loves him now

[@LOLLYPOPPE]

MrStevecro because young people don’t give a shit about hard rock/metal and guitar any more. I’m a 32 yr old guitarplayer myself, and Blackmore is regarded as one of the best. Not underrated at all
