Nothing cooler than this in the Dew Mans book:

The Dew Man is right again :thu:

Numero Uno as far as I'm concerned.

Check out the early version of a sweep arpeggio near the beginning of the solo :)

I spent hours and hours and hours trying to learn the solo in this:



it's perfect Blackmore... melodic, flash and with some unexpected twists and turns.

I learned the riff to that song yesterday, for some reason I never learned it even though I love the song.

Oh yeah. And Stargazer is great too.

I quite liked this as well..from the last Rainbow album with Doogie White on vocals...just great guitar playing from Ritchie, the sweep arpeggio stuff at the end is just so tasteful :love:...unlike many people who use that technique.

Stargazer is awesome! :love:

Really, Blackmore is the reason I fell in love with Stratocasters. When I was about 15/16, I just wanted to be him. Still working on it :grin:

And, this is my 999th post. :embarrassed: :love: :facepalm:

I had an epiphany back in 1990, I said to myself "a lot of my favorite guitar players like Blackmore, Jeff Beck, Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, SRV etc play strats. Why don't I have one?"

So I bought a Strat, I think I'm going to play my Strat now.
 
Here's one more, this is probably my favorite Rainbow song, even though it started out as a Deep Purple song. Blackmore was always killing it on this one:

I love that version of "Mistreated"..just beautiful guitar. This is one of my favourites from the Joe Lynn Turner era...a pretty straight ahead melodic rock song, very catchy and with a very well phrased guitar solo..all that staccato picking stuff Ritchie does sounds so cool and it's a very evocative solo imo:



Mark, could we have a Ritchie Blackmore sub-forum?

:embarrassed:
