The best 👌 Mr. Blackmore!!!!!!

[@Al-uv3dn]

This brings back so many childhood memories. It’s my favorite guitar solo. And you’re playing it brilliantly.

[@brocluno01]

Blackmore lead many to the guitar. He was a pioneer who is often passed over. Still a top 10 rock guitarist in my book :-)

[@clintfoard7332]

H. Totally agree with you. Perhaps he is overlooked because he is apparently not a very nice person.

[@elenka.svaliva2]

@@clintfoard7332 it is bull shit. Rumors and journalists cliche. He didn't like be a public person of course, but he wasn't bad person. Also, he didn't act like a typical rock star, he wasn't a mister nice guy like Paul McCartney or so on. He is a pioneer in rock music

[@hhattingh]

@@elenka.svaliva2 Actually no, I can forward multiple interviews with vocalists, and other band members through his career. There is one with Dio, where Donnie made it an absolute rule with any band he played with to NEVER treat their fans less than priority. The reason was he told a story with his time with RB and rainbow that he promised himself to never treat fans the same way. If you dare you're out. Judge for yourself. There are multiple examples from many, many artists that called him cruel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGTEc6Nnf5Z6qrM

[@elenka.svaliva2]

@@hhattingh I watched it too. Nothing there that's proof Ritchie was a bad guy. Who knows may be someday Dio made something's bad for his fans or other people. All rock stars are making something weird.

[@AndalusianIrish]

@@elenka.svaliva2 you don't have to be a nice person to be a pioneer. Ronnie Janes Dio said that he treated Tony Carey from Rainbow very badly.

[@bobwright7415]

Wow! That solo separates the men from the boys. Amazing job replicating it!

[@PauloNascimento-hy7me]

Fantastic. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@malcolmbrewer]

Wow, outstanding

[@donaldyoung9838]

Man I wish I could play like that you are one of my favorite you tube guitar players I love it when you go into detail about your playing thanks

[@MrKapeji]

Oh man I remember buying Made in Japan in the York book and Record exchange about 1973/4, I was in the RAF and took it back to the barrack block where three of us who had a 10 man room to ourselves and were absolute Purple fans had a total blast. Awesome demo of the lick too.

[@sousayes]

You touched my youth! I always love this solo, it’s in memory and it’s time to lear it with you! Great playing!!! Thank you!!!

[@saddle8bag]

So awesome. You even nailed the head movements and facial gestures!

[@argentus3]

Fantastic

[@imannonymous7707]

Ya i respect this guy so much. And i cant believe my eyes...you nail it and then some!

[@frankbarnwell____]

No, I can't play it. That's why I like this channel. You're playing so well. Thank you for sharing, teaching, and all that stuff.

[@albertgarza4278]

To one of the greatest guitar players in the world, thanks a million for the great videos!

[@mywaveinwoodswoodperfumes]

i was looking for your Chanel last few days after i forgot the name of it, glad it’s on my feed again, lovely lessons, i like that you play only one guitar which is strat. thank you 😊

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Deep Purple came out when I was starting High School. Great records, and a great live album.

[@DogwithtwoBones]

Glad to see influential youtubers liek yourself burning up some good old Blackmore. I have my whole channel dedicated to him.

[@sylvainclere3523]

Deep purple quel groupe de légende,Ritchie ce guitariste de génie,toute ma jeunesse...

[@peterforrest6682]

You certainly nail that solo Tom...and thanks for your insight on how to master it. Great channel...

[@davefender1580]

Incredible tone and playing

[@MrFrkuhn]

People usually play the solo of the studio version, but this version from Made in Japan is SO MUCH better! Congratulations on this series, I'm loving all the vídeos!

[@MVos-md3rp]

Lazy is my favorite blues rock tune, with Since Ive Been Loving You second. Nicely explained!

[@MVos-md3rp]

Playing the top creations by top artists of the era cannot be understated!

[@waynejohnson3214]

I FN love RBs playing. He sounds like nobody else. PLEASE do a lesson on No One Came!

[@juliochingaling5824]

Excellent video brother. Sound great

[@TheMNB]

Made in Japan is one of my favorite albums and I usually don’t like live albums. You totally rocked that solo! It’s one of the best on the album.

[@frannyp46]

Mnbe. The sound quality on made in Japan was down to a sound engineer suggesting the band placed microphones in certain places of the stage. It was nearly rejected by the band, but they trusted him and the rest is history.

[@fabiangonzalezchiruchi36]

One thing I like about old guitarists in the 70`s is that they never played a solo in the same way...and this a proof of it.Like Jimmy Page did and also Jimi Hendrix .

[@hijmestoffels5171]

I remember that Deep Purple was frowned upon by fans of ‘progressive’ music. When Machine Head was released in 1972 it got a rather bad review in our local newspaper, De Gooi- en Eemlander. But fifty years later this album stands out as one of the foundations of hard rock with all its awe inspiring guitar playing by mr. Blackmore. Highway Star, Smoke on the Water, Lazy, Space Truckin’, wow!

[@TheAnimeist]

Yeah, Deep Purple was downplayed in a lot of markets. As was Rush. Glad I had friends that introduced me to their music while they were still releasing albums. What a time to be alive, music production with concerts just don't happen anymore.

[@jordanfonque8617]

Nederlandse deep purple fan?

[@petermayonejr.3420]

Great Playing from Blackmore's iconic masterpiece!

[@bighill8272]

I love the little philosophical clip at the end!

[@oscar35575]

Great work Tom. Absolutely fantastic!

[@AndyNyle]

The intro to M in Japan solo has been the toughest part for me. Thanks for breaking it down!

[@rj9724]

Thanks for the video. I could watch you play all day long!

[@paulcooper5748]

Awesome im glad you did one on ritchie a child in time solo also is brilliant.

[@botigerberg8304]

You are a super guitarist !!!

[@nicolastamayo6589]

Made In Japan... Best live performance ever... EVER!

[@davepilgrim5798]

Wow, what a playin man !! Great !! You rocks !!

[@MsMusicman56]

I loved the Machine Head album As a young guitarist trying to learn Lazy, Highway Star and basically all the other songs on the album. So glad you've introduced this song to maybe the younger generation of followers. Richie Blackmore was and is a pioneer.

[@ThisOldGuy3]

I think this one of those leads from classic rock that gets over looked by many. Richie was a beast and every bit deserves to be rated up there with Page, Hendrix, SRV, Clapton and a multitude of others. Now do his 16th Century Greensleeves live version 😎🤘🎸

[@KimTebrok]

Amazing. Deep Purple were rock superstars. The 1st lot from 1969 to early/mid 1970’s.

[@dejanostojic5496]

Awesome friend😌

[@chetyuki]

Thanks for sharing

[@geo.cgeier3435]

Great job ! Looks so fun to play!

[@thomasgood3472]

Blackmore is the best axeman!

[@randydavenport961]

DUDE YOU RULE!!!

[@CGDGCD]

It was a nice surprise that you were working with the live version - that lick after the 16th notes run is so in the pocket. Great playing!

[@tonypurcell1049]

I love this series, BUT you can't just say...... you move your right hand like this.... and your left like this...Lol Richie Blackmore was amazing totally agreed.

[@vallivattam1]

Thats was well explained. Please do Gates of Babylon. It has an exotic lead from Blackmore.

[@stratman9449]

when i went to see (and hear) Deep purple at a concert in Germany in the late 60s they were an absolute blast....and 10000 other ppl at the concert thought so too... Ritchie was one of my inspirations for the guitar....(as was Jimmy Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton) of course.....playable riffs...but great stuff....:-)

[@davidsummerville351]

Great lesson

[@davidtucker2668]

Shredding started with Ritchie!

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

of course not

[@elenka.svaliva2]

@@JulioLeonFandinho yes he's right. In USA may be people thinks differently , but Ritchie is the pioneer.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

@@elenka.svaliva2 shredding existed way before Blackmore... Django Reinhardt was shredding in the 30s, not to mention flamenco players... there were lots of virtuoso guitarists in western swing and bluegrass, etc. etc. so no, definitely no

[@elenka.svaliva2]

@@JulioLeonFandinho what a stupid logic. Then planes were existed in 15th century because Leonardo has drafted it, the historian said.🤭😂

[@angelaguirre938]

Now thats one hell of an intro 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@noahtenshen]

To answer your question--No. But you sure as heck can!

[@oscarferrerbernal3824]

Awesome man, one of my all time favourites solos. I’ll dig into it when i finish with SRV’s Lenny

[@Thx791]

You are an inspiration! You Rock

[@TheAnimeist]

Hell yeah, I can play this note per note. Well air guitar that is. Made In Japan is probably my favorite album.

[@JeremySwiftj]

Many thanks, great breakdown, as ever. Fantastic work, fantastic song, great learnings.

[@profilen5181]

wow fucking AWESOME job covering that made in japan version!!!!!

[@TahoeTelecaster]

Good information and incredible playing!.

[@Romulus980]

Great examples, trying to detect your accent somewhere from Europe...? Do you do any more Ritchie Blackmore riff's/solo...?

[@CorbCorbin]

I was always partial to Space Trucking.

[@snekmeseht]

What an epic solo.

[@MushMagic]

Man, awesome video and your last comment from this guy's mouth about suffering and attachment was excellent !! 👍

[@danloani]

Excellent playing. Made in Japan is one of the best live albums ever.

[@greg77hot]

AWESOME !!!!!!!!

Happy Blackmore-day!

[@564df6g5h4d6f5g4h6d5]

Such incredibly precise feel in your playing. The only other KZbinr who can do it on that level is Tim Pearce, and he’s an LA studio musician.

[@janstan8407]

How come you have never covered or commented on Steve Hackett's guitar work with early Genesis? Take "Music Box", "Firth of Fifth" or "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight"? Amazing work.

[@derpy9800]

Could you do a video on that time Chuck Berry, Keith Richards, and Eric Clapton jam in 1987?

[@ericfurst6091]

From all rock guitarist 60s & 70s, RB was the best (imo).

[@alfiehenshall688]

....meanwhile looking at your guitar playing ....what ! How ! WT.....! Jeeeeez ! How the hell do you do it ? I'm lost for words Thom . Brilliant ! 👍🎸😎

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Starting my day, feeling a bit Lazy and then here comes GP ripping up Highway Star. I do believe I'll drop the needle on Machine Head today. Thanks for kicking it gear.

No! 🎶👀

Awsome! Just looking at it made my hands stiff :D

[@elenka.svaliva2]

Finaly, you did right choice. Despite the fact you did play his solo wrong.🤭 Blackmore is the man. His tone and phrases so good. Singularity playing. If someone is deserving to be name stratocaster master is him.

[@jimmygubbins]

Tbf ritchie played it different everytime so is there a right way 🤷🏻‍♂️ahha

[@elenka.svaliva2]

@@jimmygubbins of course I mean studio version, he playing here his studio solo. So, he played it wrong way.

[@michaelkarlsson5966]

@@elenka.svaliva2 he's playing the "Made in Japan"-solo, there's even a picture of the album cover in the video. :)

[@elenka.svaliva2]

@@michaelkarlsson5966 no. He played the studio version. Note by note, bit wrong position.

[@michaelkarlsson5966]

@@elenka.svaliva2 I won't argue since it's pointless. If you want to believe he's playing the studio solo then it's up to you to believe so. About the position he's playing. Do you mean the fast part? Yes, I always assumed Ritchie played it on the E string, but B string works too. Gets a slightly different tone.

[@PaulMcCartExperience]

Nice job man, try it in open D. I'm pretty sure that open string is a D, on Machine Head anyway.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Really? I didn't know that!

[@paulholmes8885]

Great solo. However l wonder what you can do with this tuning....D,A,D FLAT,G,A,D?

[@warwicksmiley]

While Learning to play this I was working hard on the bends, If not right on this fantastic riff looses it's feel. Your playing here is faultless IMO..

[@andymullarx6365]

Yes

[@gabrielv9346]

what a wonderful tone, what equipment did you use?
