MR. RITCHIE BLACKMORE

[@joelombrdo]

Ritchie is the greatest rock guitarist of all time.

[@RobertoFetth]

😢❤ Google 6😊😊

[@Deeppurple-iv5ds]

The greatest of all time... To an unparalleled melody and a cleanliness of the sound that not to any other guitarist..

[@richardgeisler7664]

Truly I say, Ritchie does not need guitar, the guitar needs Mr. Ritchie Blackmore

[@kurtsherrick2066]

I want to thank Ritchie's Dad for buying him a guitar and sending him to lessons. I can't imagine had never listened to Mr. Blackmore.

[@user-hk5ju8ef2f]

Thank you Ritchie for all your music done since 1968 . I was 7 y old when I heard your Guitar for the first time . Now I m 63 y young :))) I can’t get enough of your specific guitar sound and technique

[@lightning1396]

Even when Ritchie plays fast you can still here every note.

[@kurtsherrick2066]

How Ritchie is not considered the greatest all around guitarist in the World is Beyond me. He is brilliant also Acoustically. No one has the body of work Ritchie has done. In all that work he has never repeated anything. He has the best tone ever and when he feels like it possibly with Hendrix the best performer ever to be on stage period.

[@Fuxerz]

People are stupid 🙄 that's how. Top 3 on the world easily. Ritchie Blackmore is a guitar god.

[@ricardoblackmore5731]

Ritchie it's a Master, a genius, for me one of the Best guitarrist of the world, thanks God that we discovered and enjoy when he lives.

A guitarist that knows how to shred music not just scales. Absolutely the greatest guitarist to ever walk the planet

[@mike67able]

Yeah Ritchie is my favourite..

[@brucefranklin6295]

You nailed it.He doesn't just do scales up and down the neck.He searches for different notes every night.He was at the peak of his technical abilities in this video. I preferred his tone and some of his playing in the 70's,but there is no doubt that technically he is better here.Pretty great!

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

agreed. very like Buddy Guy in he knows how to play it loud then soft, play it fast then slow, knows how to trade off with other players, ie Jon Lord. He also one of the few (like Jeff Beck) who can start a solo, go off on a ten-minute tangent, then at the end bring it right back to where he left it and finish the piece. And I like how he just kind of floats his hand behind the neck delicately "tapping" the notes he wants to play that's kind artful to watch! Truly the most amazing and entertaining guitar player we shall ever witness.

Ritchie definitely plays the 12 notes differently than all others.

Blackmore es Rock!!! Su sonido es muy orgánico y hace que todo pareciera fácil y sólo él lo puede hacer sonar bien. Hay miles de covers de guitarristas profesionales tocando sus solos, algunos famosos y no tienen el mismo sabor.

There are many Top-Guitarists - Al di Meola, Eddie van Halen, Santana, Mclaughin, Knopfler, Page or - of course - Jimi Hendrix. For my ears and my taste of music Ritchie wears the crown!

[@alanturner5688]

Very well said

[@euanelliott3613]

He is a gifted musician, quite brilliant technically but damaged by a father who never praised him as a child. When Purple played Jon's Concerto in 1969, Ritchie didn't want to do it, but he played the best parts by far, and when you consider that his demanding father was in the Albert Hall that night, it perhaps explains why this highly sensitive man played his best. He didn't do it for Jon, he was playing to his father.
