Members budalash Posted January 5, 2013 Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 ...what a character. I've been drinking Jack all night playing along to the stuff that made me pick up the guitar almost 20 years ago. I absolutely love everything about this guy and he's about the only living guitar player I'd like to have a beer with. OK, and Allan Holdsworth too... ps Impossible to switch from neck to bridge in A gypsy's kiss (2:14-2:34) but OK, he overdubbed it and they never played it live. I finally gave up after 1 hour of trying. The licks are not difficult but the position switch was driving me crazy. And then, in the spirit of George Constanza I gave up...Because I'm a quitter...I come from a line of quitters...pps My apologies if I come across a bit crazy, it's the booze Cheers everyone!

Members onelife Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I love Blackmore's playing too - very soulful. I actually studied his style by recording Deep Purple albums on an open reel machine and playing them back at half speed. check out the funky syncopated bits at the start of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AL73LYo64A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members black blade Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 The cat rules. To this day I still get a kick out of listening to DP and Rainbow albums because the guy was so damn amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Flatspotter Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I was a huge Deep Purple fan in high school in the '70s. I still listen to Made In Japan regularly. It's one of the best live albums ever recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Yngtchie Blacksteen Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 My favourite rock guitarist, managed to push Hendrix off that throne once I realized how much more I studied those Made in Japan licks than any Hendrix song. Last night I realized how cool the guitar work on "You Can't Do It Right (With the One You Love)", nice funky riff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members onelife Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 The things that I like the most about Ritchie's playing are the same things that Yngwie left out when he tried to clone him - soulfullness and the underlying blues feel.

Members Yngtchie Blacksteen Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I think you're way off, onelife. Yngwie sounds totally different from Blackmore, and one of the things that makes his playing stand out from most other technical '80s marvels is his soulfulness and the underlying blues feel. Yngwie copied Blackmore's moves and the odd riff, but has a very different approach to lead playing. I hear more Ulrich Roth than Blackmore in his lines, and he's still far from being a clone of either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right - please let me try and explain it better with this example.Here is a pretty lame euro-pop tune by Ritchie and his wife but when he comes in with the solo, I get shivers up my back - I don't get anything like that at all from Yngwie. Although I respect him as a player, his music does not move me in the way that Ritchie's does. (solo about two and a half min in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
