And Blackmore knew that shredding was more effective in measured doses rather than poured as nauseum until it becomes redundant. He’s technically spot on and yet never cold. It always sounds organic and clean at the same time. And his improvised solos…yes, I’m an always fan.

It's much "easier" to shred on guitar with heavily distorted tone as it masks a lot of imperfections/ the amazing quality of Blackmore was that his tone was closer to clean than it was distorted or overdriven !!!###

I can spot a Blackmore solo after 1,5 seconds. His is instantly recognizable. I will never understand why Highway Star solo ranks no 5 at Guitar World but nobody speaks of the hilarious far mor complex solo of Child in Time. Ritchie penned about 50 hard rock riffs, no other player can reach that, not to speak of his solo playing.

I have been a Ritchie Fan since I was ten. I was at the record store looking for sounds like Steppenwolf. I saw the Cover of In Rock. My sister had Hush on a 45 and thought it was good so I bought In Rock. When I put the album on and heard Ritchie's intro into Speed King I thought this is what a rock guitar was supposed to sound like and I was hooked on Deep Purple and man I blew my speakers on my GE Wildcat stereo. I can hear my parents now. TURN THAT DOWN! It so cool at Ten. People forget that the kids bought the records and also I saw Ritchie do the Desrtuction Solo at California Jam 74. At 15 that was so not parent and wow that was crazy.

@@Trev0r98 Ha! Guaranteed to lure folks into refuting your, baseless claim. You don’t know, that no one in the late 60’s (George Best was in the audience in a bright pink jumper ... that dates it) could play like Blackmore. Steve Vai/Satriani and Malmsteen/Van Halen, probably hadn’t seen/picked up a guitar in 69. While Blackmore has just played a groundbreaking Concerto with a full Orchestra (You haven’t heard his 5 minute improvised solo in that piece ... have you?) at the Albert Hall and was finishing off Deep Purple in Rock (which picked up an industry award 2 years ago due to its trailblazing/timeless/classic status) Every one of the above mentioned guitarists rates/was influenced by him. You didn’t see the footage? Jimi Hendrix didn’t underrate him. He knew and loved his work. Blackmore was playing manically before anyone had heard of Hendrix. I saw Ritchie in 1972 at his peak. I know what I saw and heard and no one else came close. His greatness isn’t in his technique it’s his taste, musicality and music though he is a great player technically.

I happen to think that Blackmore's best solos were on recordings. Whilst in concert he could get sloppy or uninspired but on studio recordings his solo work, as well as song construction, were nothing short of brilliant. His tone and phrasing are uniquely his own. Listen to Stargazer or Burn or Highway Star, I could go on and on and on. But now I will just describe him as he is...The Master!

Is there a more recognisable sounding guitar tone of a player? I don't think so. Is there a more distinct style of playing the guitar ever? I doubt it. You immediately know that it's Blackmore playing? Is there a more haunting and emotive player out there? Nope! Is there an axe player out there who can say as much as Ritchie with so little notes moving you to tears? Nope! Is there a guitarist out there who exploded like Ritchie with raw power and technique filling the place with thousands of notes. Not many! Certainly not before Ritchie. Has any guitarist ever brought such a sense of magicalness, mystery, and etherialness to the music he created? I don't know of one. Blackmore is rock's musical music enigma.

I could see why it was hard for people, even at the level of Steve Vai, to fill the void of the Deep Purple gig when Ritchie left. Even all the little "fun" bits he threw in were so right on. This video just goes to prove how we had the best musicians and contributions to the music industry back in the 60s and 70s. Some artists can come close, but still nowhere near.
