RITCHIE BLACKMORE's 26 GREATEST Guitar Techniques!

Real briefly I also recognize that little bit of a lick of that Jerry Rafferty song too Baker Street was that you had that little bit of via whisper sweet pic too but there’s a little similarity there I’m really digging this video man. Thank you so much for sharing. It sounds awesome. You’re coming through loud and clear distract sounds good. Even with the loose wiggle bar lol hey thank you so much.

Thank you I love your attention to detail. With Smoke on The Water Riff Ritchie definitely strokes up and down alternatively; this can be heard in his playing and gives the riff a more powerful and contrasting sound. With the strokes going up on the two strings gives a the sound a 'brighter' treble sound which contrasts with the darker meatier sound when playing the same two strings in a down position...🎸🎸🎸

Inverted fifth...parallel fourths...potato...potatoe.

Great video man, definitely will be using a lot of this stuff soon! Respect

Great pickup on the slow bends.It's exactly what makes his first solo on the studio version of Lazy sound so sassy, especially when he does the same bends in doubles and fours. You're absolutely right that it is easy to rush the bends when the solo is up tempo. Good job, Mike...even though I am just seeing this now. Heh heh.

Arpeggio bends reminds me of metallica harmony solos when theyre kinda slower

Whenever someone underestimates him, tell them that he wrote the main riff from Smoke On The Water

Ritchie was one of the first with a special adjustment for the tremolo. 2 tunes up an down without loosing the tuning

super work! so much learning! thanks

Bend and vibrato at the same time.. what called is that? Sorry my english and hoping u understand what i mean sir ..thank you..😊

Thanks for talking about my favorite guitarist of all time. Ritchie's the master for me, without him there will be no Neoclassical rock/metal and maybe Yngwie might work in McDonald's 😂

Forgive me, but a quick point on the "inverted "5ths." If you invert a 5th, it becomes a 4th because all inversions add up to 9. I see how it can be useful to focus on the high note for the melody, but if you expand the idea you can add a low 8ve repeat & you've got your power chord/5 chord. Just to help if it confuses anyone.

I'm all about your great video... Thank you sir. I just got my fender signature to brothe.r Hats off to you. Keep the blessings coming

Blackmore, a petulant, childish, narcissistic genius.

Can anyone tell me what is classical triad please

Fantastic tutorial .CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!!!You have brought light into darkness .Thank you very much

You better Play flute in the lue

From my ear and the vids I've seen Blackmore's iconic tremolo picking solo is played w/o the planted index on the fifth fret? He plays the open e note

Has there been doubt he's bad ass? Who hasn't he influenced?

This guy would've been great in any genre the little bit of blues he played left you wanting more he is on the Mt Rushmore

Richie is the master of rock, yeah there's Page who came up with some of rocks greatest riffs but that fucker just can't play in time plus he's a rude twat to boot as I found after saying only 'hello Jim' to which he said, 'oh here we go, another photo wanted on a phone'...i wanted to say fuck off dude, you ain't Richie Blackmore, Van Halen or Frank Marino... But I kept schtum. Anyway, talking guitar greats, Richie is the apitamy of guitar end of... 😊

Great video man! really appreciate the time put in, Blackmore is quite the guitarist, and you've clearly spent plenty of time looking at his playing. Love your work.

Lose the humbucker and effects. Blackmore played pristine, clean and loud. A few of the techniques you demonstrated were modified by EVH and is now known as tapping.c# is the easiest note to get to feed back in the style you were. I learned of this while learning "Let it roll" by UFO. Schenker was a total badass back then. He wasn't the same after a few years into MSG.

Never in doubt

1 Style Missing

Richie Blackmore's California Jam 1974

Rory Gallagher techniques when 🥺

What is the effects chain on this?

His greatest technique.....?.... Getting frustrated and throwing the guitar down and walking off stage like a little bitch...😅😆🤪💩

Are you using an octave pedal of some sort by any chance? Kinda sounds like it in the arpeggio bends
.great lesson btw.. Ty

I recently saw of video of Ritchie playing Smoke on the Water with UPSTROKES with a plectrum ... that seems to be the secret to the sound to my ear.

Such an epic video

Where the Ritchie Blackmore influence is most visible in my playing is my tendency towards inverted power chords, as well as my arranging

I started out trying to emulate Ritchie Blackmore around 1973. After I heard Toni Iommi though everything changed. 😏

Don't guys like Hendrix also do arpeggio bends? Say something like 14 on the G string, 13 on the B and 15 with a full step bend on the high E.

El Mejor guitarrista ever

VERY VERY HELPFUL........THANK YOU

Ritchie has a best timing and fantastic feeling, which impossible to teach.

Alright wtf this dude has literally done a video on every single one of my heroes...haha I love it.

He was before my time but I’m here now I had Eddie and randy to start my musical journey so that’s my excuse for missing out on Blackmore

Thanks, that was brilliant.

Question: I that a Strat Deluxe Model? No string trees, like mine.

You forgot the trem arm, Blackmore used it heavily, he really wanged away at it.

That run down, with the open strings, he plays 12-11-0-0 then 11-10-0-0 etc

Accenting that first note has made you a genius in my book...a lightbulb just went off in my head, it makes perfect sense, after decades. Thanks so much man.

Thank you for this video. I have been playing bass and guitar for many years now, not to a very technical level at all, I’ve never properly learnt the scales, and like to play whatever sounds good. There are some things in here that I feel I do when just playing about especially the long bends and the fifth chords ,as you put it, think I will try to learn
a bit more theory again because of this video. This video is great, thank you so much. I first got into guitar because of Hendrix and over the years have grown to love Ritchie’s playing and sound. Love how they both use the tremolo so much.
Thank you really enjoyed this. Feel like I’m rambling but why not Blackmore is amazing.

Ritchie is a guitar god!

Ritchie is my fav Rainbow!
