Similarly, I came across Deep Purple when I was 14 in 1978. Strange Kind of Woman and Woman From Tokyo just blew my socks off. Then Child in Time, Fireball, Smoke on the Water etc. finished the job

Im 63 first heard Black Night on the radio WOW AWESOME sound later my brother brought home some albums by DP , that a friend at his work place send listen but when he was out i listened to Made in japen with head phones on , OMG im hooked Ritchie was AWESOME , later brother told that he was in to Purple really, , but his girlfriend later his wife was she got my to gigs ,Rainbow, Rush, Yes, later 76 DP TOMMY BOLIN im a massive follow of all things BOLIN

For me Ritchie is the ultimate guitarist. He speaks through his guitar. Lazy, child in time, highway star and so on .. His is the most unique style i have ever listened to. God gave rock and roll to us and gave Ritchie to know what guitar is.❤

Ok with Blackmore . . . But Ian Paice is so much better that Bonham! more groove and feeling . . . .Like Neil Peart with another combo and background! Le meilleur batteur est Keith. . . . Keith Moon !

Musicien professionnel mais guitariste classique de formation, j'ai découvert vers l'âge de 13 ans, Ritchie Blackmore qui m'a dévoilé la magie du son de la guitare électrique. En terme de son, d'expressivité et d'inventivité, Blackmore restera toujours pour moi la référence absolue. Autant, si ce n'est plus, qu'un Hendrix, Gilmour, Page, etc. Ritchie Blackmore a inspiré nombre de guitaristes célèbres dont un certain Van Halen par exemple !

Ritchie is the best out there because his compositions were great always telling a story and always catching your feelings not just throwing in a solo just to impress with his skills like others. And also his solos were so many and so different in all his career not just one or two songs!

[@agamemnon9918]

Well said, i am surprised there are people (two only) in this comment section saying that his solos were all blues and weren't varied, the man was a proto-shredder, he played some bluesy solos, more exotic solos like Gates of Babylon and Stargazer, used slides, used tremolo picking, used the whammy bar, he also knew slowing down and playing melodically. Well said, it's one of the biggest reasons why i like RB.

Ritchie for me will always be number 1. He’s has and still does inspire people and he still writes beautiful music. I always laugh when people talk about speed as if that’s the measure of a great guitarist. So many of the guitarist that play fast don’t have accuracy. I’ve slowed down these guitarist and the amount of wrong notes and miss timings is unbelievable but their speed hides it. Ritchie is one of if not the most accurate guitarist ever. He’s also the most instinctive guitarist I’ve ever heard. His impro is a testimony to that.

[@kurtsherrick2066]

As you know Ritchie was the original speed guitarist but he was clean. Ian Anderson nailed it on the head. It is Ritchie understood the importance of the silence in between the notes. Ritchie is still searching for those perfect notes. In his search he has put out more original music than anyone else in the business. He is pushing 60 years of creativity and all the old bands that are still together play their songs from their Era. Ritchie is still playing and creating. I watch His and Candace's first Pod Cast a couple of weeks ago of them at home during the Corona Pandemic Shutdown. Richie was pretty much shit faced. Probably the only reason Candace got him to do it. Ritchie half drunk was playing beautifully left handed. A viewer asked while Candace read the question. The question was why was Ritchie playing left handed. Ritchie said it was because he was drinking. The man was funny. I am happy for Ritchie. He has a lady that loves him no matter what Ritchie wakes up in the morning or afternoon. They keep each other entertained and I love Blackmore's Night. Some of his Acoustical Work is mind boggling. I think Candace will be with Ritchie as long as his liver last. I enjoyed your comment.

Brilliant brilliant guitar player,sweep picking,eastern and classical scales before the wannabees in the 80,s. Without being colloquial ,there was a certain resonance with European guitar players like Ritchie,Roth,Shenker,Malmsteen which i think belongs to the music they were surrounded by growing,both melodic pop and classical,eastern European overtones. American guitar players were primarily brought up from the blues hence the penatonic and primarily western scales,equally important but VERY different. Richie was way way ahead of his time and was by far the most articulate guitar player of the the English new wave,despite Page being my favorite due to Zeppelin having the best vehicle for songwriting. However in my top ten guitar solos Richie is number one,i could never imagine anyone else coming up with the solos from Stargazer,Babylon,Highway et yet i could easily imagine Blackmore emulating and creating context solos from Clapton Beck and Page. Very special talent and underestimated,sorry just a long winded opinion!!!

Grazie di essere venuto al mondo Richie,semplicemente il migliore ti ascolto da quando avevo 12 anni,ne ho 59!!!! E ancora mi emoziono...grazie ancora,lunga vita al maestro....

One of my personal favourites is his lead work on 'Strange Kind of Woman' .

[@ВикторЗуенков-ы4ц]

ВЕЛИКИЙ Ritchie,браво!Таких виртуозов и музыкантов не будет еще лет сто!

[@mikeriesco6174]

The chord changes in Gates of Babylon are astonishing. And to be able to solo over that...

[@markmusic5303]

Yes, really maestral

[@BSIII]

And he improvised it. I dont think he sat down to work solos out. Gates of Babylon solo is ridiculous.

[@Turquoise636]

David Stone tells the story of making that song, he wrote the middle section and Ritchie found it hard to improvise over it at first, and they had like six takes to finish the solo.

[@jeffmayton8275]

My ears love this guitar work...One thing that is special to me is there are no wasted notes, and the timing is amazing.

В 6 треке уже в 21 веке я врубился что РБВ сделали лезгинку и прославили на века Кавказ , Рич знал про СССР его разминка пальцев бывало и народные мелодии разных народов играл

[@yuriy_k5]

В 70-е у на в каждой школе, ПТУ, институте и т.д. была своя группа и не одна. Так вот при приеме в группу были требования: если соло-гитаритст то как Блэкмор, если барабанщик то как Пэйс. Про Цеппелинов конечно тоже знали, но ни Пэйдж ни Бонэм никогда не упоминались. Все таки музыка DP была более популярна, более драйвова. Народ сам выбирал лучших, в СССР никто не спорил кто на первом месте - DP однозначно!

[@spinozacelt]

Legendary player.One of the last of the truly great,large than life,70's musos.the guitar tone itself is to die for.As Steve Lukather put it "Ritchie Blackmore was such an advanced musician.Way ahead of his time."

[@kellymcdonald1895]

I gotta admit, I was getting a little mistyeyed listening to all of those memories! Thank you

[@sergioarguello4681]

Ritchie Blackmore es el Dios de la guitarra, nadie lo pudo superar ni lo superarán. Su creatividad, armonías, ritmo, melodía, complejidad y técnica son únicas. Tiene más de 10 dedos y en su rebeldía se refleja su angustia y bronca por no ser reconocido como el mejor.

[@Luckysevenization]

Vieja... quedate piola y no hace falta rescatarse... Acá los sudamericanos sabemos bien el peso del Maestro de viola eléctrica... Ritchie la descose a la viola y eso todos lo sabemos. Abrazo desde el Paraguay, loco.

[@richardkammerer]

Ritchie is the best, I know nobody with solos so melodic like him

[@markoukanovic5075]

Every Ritchie's solo has its own music story,or as someone said once,its own pin code.

[@GraffitiPhysical]

The greatest rock guitar player of all time imho. His body of work is so diverse and interesting that if there was one guitarist's body of work that I had to listen to everyday it would be Ritchie Blackmore's. Interestingly he confirmed in an interview that a lot of is melodic influences he got from eastern European music which he listened to through short waive radio. Mix that with neo classical and blues well than you've got something very spicy call RB style. Thank you so much for your music.

[@theletterh9485]

I love Blackmore but objectively Jimmy page was more diverse. He had folk, blues, hard rock, Celtic influence (over the hills and far away), middle eastern (Black mountain slide and white summer live performances and Kashmir ), classical (no quarter) , rockabilly (boogie with Stu, rock and roll) and probably more I can't think of

Да, мелодика не повторима и узнаваема. Отдельное спасибо звукооператорам пёплов и рэинбоу акцентировавшим громкостью на сольных партиях Блэкмора. Значительно более 40 лет с трепетом воспринимаю его творчество, включая акустические партии.
