Riffster Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Can't say that ever saw him playing one, Ritchie was one of the first guitar players that got my attention. The keyboard intro is loner than 1 minute but the rest is guitar improvisation crazyness with a hint of Christmas.

Mr. Natural Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Izz, you really need to listen to Deep Purple's Machine Head LP. It is great stuff, especially the cut "Lazy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Very cool. Is it just me, or is the video about 2 seconds ahead of the audio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 O.O that was so cool' date=' i never heard deep purple before *coughnubI had heard OF them, but this was a real treat, ty Duuuude! How can you avoid hearing them if you only just flip by classic rock radio stations? I'll bet you've heard them quite a few times and even know some of their songs but don't realize it. Like Mr. Natural said, check out Machine Head. [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Arcadius Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Thanks a lot for posting this Stiffhand! Blackmore is one of the main reasons I pick-up the guitar. Deep Purple is one of the bands that shaped modern rock as we know it... BTW, John Lord is IMHO the best keyboard player in the Rock genre ever! did you see those fingers...?

Riffster Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 He is great and so is J. Lord, when I initially got into Ritchie's playing in the early 80's he was already leading the second encarnation of Rainbow. I alwasy loved his sense of melody and how he can put the simplest riffs next to the most intricately beautiful leads. I'll tell you something, a lot of famous guitarists based their style on pentatonics, Ritchie is a different breed. Izzy, Ritchie's work is great with either Deep Purple or Rainbow definitely check them out. Ritchie's stage antics are great to watch, I enjoy them because before youtube.com I never saw this stuff.
