Chordplay - The Chords Of Deep Purple

[@ollid.5590]

Blackmore w/ Purple was such an interesting combination, especially his interplay w/ Jon Lord. The lesson covers important essential, well done!!!!!!! By far the best YT channel for guitarists. David rules!!!!

[@Chewwy153qt]

David: "Goes something like this" and proceeds to nail it. Now if you really want to hear "something like that" I'll invite you to my house!

[@anthonybags2626]

😂😂😂

[@billwarkentin3630]

Great Chordplay, David!! I'm 62 and grew up on Deep Purple, Zep, etc. Saw Ritchie 4 times in concert between Deep Purple and Rainbow. He is an awesome live performer! Thank-you for this lesson!!!!

[@RH-vl2wy]

Maybe a part 2, or a 3???? The worst part of this video is the fact I can only give it a thumbs up once!!!! It deserves many more!!!!

[@MrBluesgtr68]

How I started playing guitar was watching Rainbow playing a live concert on MTV(remember those days?) and seeing Ritchie ripping it up and saying that's who I want to play like and then got into DP when they reformed back in 84 and was hooked ever since.

[@odgeUK]

Brilliant. The padding out of the chords on Highway Star is a really useful tip for cover bands who don't have a keyboard player too.

[@garyh.238]

Great lesson! A very nice overview of some classic Ritchie Blackmore riffs & chords. Looking forward to Part 2 of Ritchie, and some more Tommy Bolin! Thanks

[@cravertom]

Aawesome Vid! personally I think Deep purple and Ritchie Blackmore get overlooked when people talk about bands that moved the ball forward...Definately a great "Guitar Rock Band" ....

[@DogwithtwoBones]

Great lesson David as always! I don't play everything the same as you but enjoy your analysis of Blackmore every time. In case you've never seen my channel I am almost exclusively doing Blackmore stuff.

[@daosnet]

Ritchie is such an underrated guitar player these days, but he was so influential to guitar players who grew up in the 70s-90s. One of his best songs was Gypsies Kiss. For me, there is no Deep Purple without Ritchie.

[@alexcastro7339]

Dude, your channel is awesome... Like the way you dig into the guitarists styles, instead of just showing how to play one certain song 😎

[@KajHeGeHaggman]

You lessons and your playing are always great, but this time I especially loved your sound on Woman From Tokyo. I had forgotten how great that riff is and sounds!

[@batmaniac66]

THANKS!!! Love Purple and Rainbow music.

[@frankiedonofrio5438]

Another awesome Lesson!!!!

[@waynegram8907]

Requesting Ritchie Blackmore Phrygian Dominant and Harmonic minor lick lessons

[@dangolguitartech]

Haven’t even watch the video and I’ve already given it a thumbs up because I know it’s gonna be great! Blackmore is a great player and very interesting to listen to, so combined with your teaching style this is a no fail lesson. Thanks, Dave!

[@jimg50]

Great insight and a great lesson ! Thank you !

[@crisprtalk6963]

Saw 'em with Joan Jett, maybe 85 or so. Loved watching and hearing Jon Lord play!

[@kevmet84]

Aside from the whole deal being a cool one to watch no less than a few more times to say the least, the 'Knocking...' tune how you played it is the closest per the tonality. Like it. Rock on! And if You can toss Bolin into a mix episode in the future that would be cool stuff as well.

[@chillidogkev]

That was an absolutely fabulous lesson David and the tone of your Strat completely nailed it all together. Very informative as always and highly enjoyable.

[@nick326697]

Brilliant as always. Thanks!

[@strivingx67]

Saw them on the Perfect Strangers tour. One of my fave ever concerts! They were so good!

[@markkasick]

So did I, not the same MK2.

[@Irishmule169]

I see where Mick Mars got all his riffs from..straight outta Blackmore !! Also @ 17:58 That’s the best part of rock music man , it may of initially been written by Mr.Blackmore but you make it sound better to you.. that’s how some cover songs are better than the original tune !! Just found your channel , you got yourself a new subscriber.. love my Strats too !!!

[@fearlessfrankie6479]

I love Ritchie! As usual you could spend an hour or more on DP alone!! Thanks again David !!

[@Hyster27]

The solo from Rainbow's I surrender, is a stunner, would love to see you take a look at that.

[@jperryfan]

Stone Cold too! Killer solo

[@mikeodonnell4781]

Really diggin how diverse this channel is! Good job man

[@strat-xq5oy]

Knocking at your back door. your are spot on Mr blackmore was/is very minimal in his use of chords. i have always played burn the same as you too. another great episode thanks for sharing.

[@bertgetner9397]

Great episode. I think the interplay with Jon Lord on organ really made the signature sound. The guitar and organ make a huge sound. The intro to Smoke on the water is a classic example.

[@Vidfavne]

Steve Morse is great, amazing, monumental. But Richie Blackmore is Deep Purple IMO. Unfair? Yes. But that's the way the cookie crumbles.

[@Chewwy153qt]

I commend him for staying true to Richie's solos but he is a guitar player's guitar player if you know what I mean.

[@TheMentalblockrock]

Steve Morse, technically a GREAT PLAYER, but Blackmoore gave us so many great classic Riffs- not just in DP, but Rainbow as well.

[@jaapdevreugd]

Great lesson!

[@markarita3]

EXCELLENT! Love Deep Purple.

[@mannymedina4396]

Bravo.......bravo!!!!!!!!!👍🤘👏👏👏👏👏😎

[@professorhamamoto]

Excellent historical background combined with meticulously studied and artfully rendered demos. Nicely produced, including the sound. How did Blackmore get that distinctive vibrato of his?

[@JD-vj4go]

This is cool. Never really listened to Deep Purple much but I'm a huge Blackmore fan from the first three Rainbow albums. Dio and Blackmore were a killer team.

[@stephenallpress3166]

Really enjoyed the lesson and fantastic tone, you should have more subscribers for sure, one of my favourite youtube channels for guitar, keep up the great work 🤘👊

[@markgeorge2069]

More Deep Purple please!😊

[@tudorlasus]

wasted sunsets has a really really interesting chord combination and the solo is strunctured perfectly on it. just like the voice. great video!

[@dvs60]

I had not too long ago been working on Knockin and your way makes so much more sense than the one I had found. Thanks!

[@awittypilot8961]

Deep purple made so many great tunes I know it's hard to pick their best. ANY and every new guitar player (at least in my era) strummed out smoke on the water. But Hush and Lazy might be their best. Blackmore was a pompous ass or Rainbow might have been as big....Stone Cold, Power and Jealous lover were some of my favorite rock tunes ever. So many bands go nowhere once someone thinks the band is them (Cars, Grand Funk etc) and not a team effort. I think it probably takes all the fun out of the music...at least for me. Thanks for all your efforts and knowledge. I watch em

[@v2saatana]

Great tones! What pickups are in your strat?

[@joe_brooks_music]

I always wonder what amp and pickups you use in your Strat

[@kbelbeisi]

Ritchie can come up with the best riffs and rhythm ideas, but then reverts back to lines based on octaves, as if he has no more ideas. And then he says he gets bored by playing rhythm guitar. Great lead guitarist. One of my favorites.

[@stevejohnson2284]

I would be very interested to see you revisit deep purple and expand to some rainbow definitely. Love your channel always a pleasure to watch.

[@kjmg65]

Wasted Sunsets will always be my favorite

[@MRX2099]

Another favorite of mine, some Jason Becker would be nice...

[@jamessator5564]

Very cool episode David! How about chord play of REO SPEEDWAGON ? Gary Richrath!

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

gotta give it up for that berringer amp...sounds great .although i think you could make a potato sound like a "heaven delivered" symphony though Dave .....you are a motivator and a KILLER guitar player.....kicked my 57 year old ass into learning more riffs

[@watchshowandtell7138]

Hi David, are you planning to provide a tab for this lesson? Thank you

[@blacksabbath1022]

I remember getting a Ritchie Blackmore guitar lesson book with backing tracks on a cd in the late 90's. Loved that thing and loved to mess with friends who would ask if I knew Smoke on the water so I'd rip into the verse riff and solo ignoring the intro lol.

[@Sam-qc6sz]

I'm trying to learn the solo It's definitely no 0-3-5 that's for sure ahah

[@Johnny1.0]

Awesome!

[@darkman237]

You should check out Blackmore's Night as well.

[@TomGrubbe]

90% of Richie Blackmore's hit songs were in the key of G. Totally unique part of his playing and his personality.

[@billyclub56]

G Wiz!!

[@darlenemcmillan5802]

You have a good ear. I checked with "guitar for the practising musician, March 1986 edition" and they have knocking at your back door written the same way as you thought it was to be played. Again, good ear.

[@jammin9962]

I will never forget the laser drawn Beethoven dude on the screen grabbing his head the point the stick at Ritchie like get the f.... out here during his screaming lead. Then Ritchie start playing Beethoven again dude smiles and conducts till Ritchie takes of again. Lol friggin awesome

[@dalekim8586]

Great info

[@kennopalus]

Can you go over the solo from the song " Dream Chaser " from the Straight. Between The Eyes album

[@elenka.svaliva2]

Bu the way Knocking at your back door main riff was played with slide. Position 7 fret.

[@anthonyjames9711]

You definitely got your work cut out for you Dave, so much ground to cover with Blackmore alone. Good shout out to Tommy Bolin also.

[@chrischarles1468]

Speaking of Tommy how about a Chordplay of Teaser and Private Eyes please, please,please ...

[@christopherprim1973]

Yeah, that's the trinity. Riff Rock Origins. The Bolin 'Van Halen remindy riff' is from LZ's Rock and Roll, but in a different rhythm. Your Knockin interpretation sounds right.

[@elenka.svaliva2]

Nice video. But try to play mandrake root riff with forth. Ritchie played it this way. You see the difference. Thanks.

[@stevet.4974]

Another great lesson. Mandrake Root was a great choice, I guess I had to see you play it to fully realize what a crusher that is.That tune came before their golden time... easy to overlook. The Tommy Bolin album... I think I listened to it like 3 times and never went back. I'm reakizing that's a mistake though, I think I had a inherent bias against the album because it just seemed a continuation of Purple getting away from hard rock. I liked Spectrum a lot so I'm going to check it out again. I want to punch myself in the face for never realizing the C note on the G chord in Woman from Tokyo.... I was doing an F bass note with my thumb thinking I was cool but instaed.. completely ridiculous. I was listening to Purple from '74 in London like a bootleg I don't know what it is but Holy Schnikers Blackmore is just ripping on his leads... FAST freakin walls of notes.... Now THAT I would like to know how hes doing it... if you get a chance check that out.... you know what I'm talking about. Check out his solo from Lay Down Stay Down as an example. He ruled back then... no one could touch him in least in regards to the raw fast soloing. There's so many elements all together and it comes at you like a supercomputer barfing information.

[@1kroz1]

Can you do "Ted the mechanic"?

[@timothyholmes4588]

great video David. your right the Trinity did reshape rock n roll .

[@watchshowandtell7138]

David could you provide the notation/tab in Patreon for this lesson? Cheers

[@crisprtalk6963]

Killer!!

[@obiem9319]

Looks like Bolin and Blackmore were influenced by Hendrix's Foxy Lady, Fire and Spanish Castle Magic.

[@guitarfan84]

chords from Rainbow next pls, Dave!

[@Stratamania]

Do a search for "Deep Purple - Knocking At Your Back Door (Live)" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYabhY1mZdB0sLs you can see the position for the riff. Also notice towards the end when it is played with slide it stays in fourths throughout the riff.

[@musicproductionvideos5019]

How about Chords of Uli Roth?!

[@sotirios6882]

Hey Dave, I sensed a Deep Purple vibe. Great minds think alike don't we 😃. Great in depth lesson as always👍 ROCK ON.🎸 P.S. Who is that mini me on top of your amp? DLR?

[@ericfurst6091]

IMO, Ritchie Blackmore was the best rock guitarist from the end 60s-70s.

[@ToneChaser79]

Brewster is the Bob Ross of rock guitar

[@Longhorn.Rock_Roll61]

Ive seen interview s with Richie they pretty much got there style from Jimi.

[@markgeorge2069]

More DP, for me please

[@billyclub56]

Richie gets a call from Fender... We'd like to make a signature model for you...... =You're pretty good

[@semilivesixstringstrumist5595]

Deep purple is the color of Royalty. Another Tavistock band.

[@thetruthhurts6652]

There used to be a European website which listed the best musicians determined by voters. All the Deep Purple members were in the top 5 in vocals and every instrument except for Glover. Purple is huge in Europe, Asia and South America. They lost traction in America because Americans don’t like heavy Hammond organs in their hard rock music and they are not much into progressive music.

[@robertmckenzie2789]

Purple where Bach meets Robert Johnson

[@mitchdoud9727]

T Rex ............Marc Bolan......

[@davidbaron8330]

I love Ritchie, but he never uses "fat" chords, or tries to make his rhythms sound bigger (as you say, because he always has keys in the band). He uses the root 1 instead of the root 6 (i.e. no barring). He doesn't even like playing rhythm guitar beyond his diad 4th riffs. For Tommy, Dealer's cool, but would have loved to have seen Gettin' Tighter. Hotter/funkier IMO.

[@RyanMaziarz]

Yeah I noticed this too - I transcribed/learned Highway Star pretty in depth a couple years ago for a show I played in and that prechorus is for sure just the simple Am7 x055xx shape - it's the organ that's adding the other color notes. The ascending blues thing after it is all single notes on the A string pulling off to open for the pickup beats too. Isolated track here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoLTkIGCnJaGfKs

[@markgeorge2069]

More DP for me please
