Why Ritchie Blackmore Kick Ass

[@albertfernandez9934]

Excellent !

[@mryhdy6266]

Nice work, mate. Kind of ironic, I started playing metal like Ozzy and stuff, and now many years later I developed a liking for this sort of thing. Your video is very helpful.

[@christophejames4634]

Keith Richards said : « Everybody wanted to be Elvis...I wanted to be Scotty Moore. ». You know the rest.

[@1980bwc]

Man, much respect to you for making this video to highlight Scotty's talent. He's pretty much a hometown boy here in Southwest Tennessee, right along with Carl Perkins and Elvis. We are very proud of them all. Just seems Scotty and Carl don"t get their due respect as much as they should for what they did to change popular music forever. I haven't had a chance to look through all your videos yet to see if you've done one of these videos about Carl. If not, I would love to see you do one pretty soon. Thanks again for showing some of these licks, and playing them extremely well to boot! I'm subscribing! Have a good one Brother. (Bryan, Jackson TN)

Thanks Bryan? I am glad you liked the video brother, greetings from Ireland!

I can only be amazed at your talent and simple explanations that make these videos a compulsive watch and more important for me a big learn. Please keep them coming and many thanks

Great video, Thom! You really bring life to the music with your astute explanations and expert analysis, not to mention your virtuoso playing. Thanks.

Well done. Huge Elvis music fan and breaking down “train,” BONUS!!!

[@John_Sharrock]

It's an absolute joy to watch and listen to your videos.Your playing is beyond belief and so effortless.IMHO this was the best Elvis period in his whole career,for me,once the 60's arrived it was just a pale shadow of the 50's stuff...I could listen to you playing this kinda stuff all day long..Thank you.

[@RamRud]

Dude, where have you been all my guitar playing life? How incredibly refreshing it is to watch you play and how inspirational! I've been playing along and learning how to play chordal solos thanks to you!

[@trinityflow]

Excellent lesson! Thanks for sharing.

[@alfgwahigain5544]

I just discovered your channel, and this is the first video I watched, and I've subscribed. This was a fantastic, concise lesson, and it will give me hours of stuff to practice. Without Scotty Moore and his great rhythm section, I don't know if Elvis would've been the immediate sensation that he was. To me that early stuff is his best. Also, what I love about the stuff you chose and this style of playing is that there's so much melody, and, even if it's not someone's style of music, this is such valuable information for anyone in a band with two guitar players. And learning how to play melodies with these simple chords opens a world that is just endless. Thanks - great stuff!

[@bryanmckenzie1089]

I really enjoy watching your videos, Great Job!

[@Geotubest]

[@sdwest4010]

Guitar Pilgrim, I was 13 in 1955 when I first heard Scotty Moore play Mystery Train and it changed my life. I wrote to Scotty a few years before he died to request a signed copy of his book, and told him that I believed that it was he and not Elvis that created the Big Bang that was Rock & Roll. Without Scotty, what would have EP become? Through his caregiver, Gail, I learned that he was quite pleased to hear this. You are do his playing style the best I have ever heard, and I've heard a lot of players tell about his influence. You made this old man smile one more time.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

That's great to hear brother, I had the same experience when I was a young boy listening to the beatles and of course Elvis, those brilliant licks by Scotty, his guitarplaying whenever I hear it puts a huge smile on my face as well! Best to you!

[@herbert9241]

SD West - A word I'm not given to squander: cool. It's very cool that at such a young age you were tuned-in enough to pay proper acknowledgement to a proper sporting hero. (All of my absolute, genuine heroes are musicians over and above athletes.)

[@stevew9748]

wow, what an inspirational video. thank you very much. i loved the old elvis songs.

[@1rwjwith]

Scotty was working without a prior template for Rock N Roll, he WAS one of the originators. He was coming from Chet Atkins, Merle Travis and Jazz guitarists, not really blues players. Thanksgreat job!

[@1badhaircut]

💯 that’s the difference,he made the connection to rock/pop that tied it together when Leo Fender was changing the sound of guitars / amps to distortion / sustain - players added echo and effects but this is the bones right here. The Brits ran with it

[@alansturgess1324]

Undoubtedly THE best analysis of a guitarist's style that I've ever watched - full of both enthusiasm and superb demo snippets. Thumbs up, subscribed, bell rung. I've always loved Scotty's playing. You did him full justice with this analysis. Will now check your channel to see which other of my favourites you've talked about - probably unlikely to find Lonnie Mack (been a HUGE fan ever since '63) but there are sure to be others. Great job.

It's really amazing the way you dissect styles, music, the history of music through decades and so on... When I was 13 my music preference started with melodic punk rock (90s). But now I bought a guitar, I want to play it in a way that enjoy myself, and I discovering the need to master a broader spectrum of styles. And through your channel I'm discovering the roots of what I like... Because through these videos is very simple to see what you need, what techniques and tricks really matters, who do that for the first time... Priceless. Really congrats for your channel and the fresh, emotional style of your videos.

[@jazzybeeff]

I fall in this channel. Man, these names are of course the greatest but how you play well all of these different guitarist’s work! The best guitar channel on KZbin i believe. Cinematography and storytelling are great too. And these guitar tones…spectacular! Keep going please! Thank you.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
