Shnate McDuanus Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Deep Purple's "Maybe I'm A Leo," from the classic Machine Head. The song is just so groovy and muscular--that riff is thick and funky as all hell...it's also not hard to play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFs2Nn3qKw8 Neat solo in this one, too. This one's live from a 1972 concert. I'll admit, I love every Deep Purple line-up (even the short-lived Mark I), but I'll always be a MK II fan first and foremost. Can't get much better than Gillian, Blackmore, Glover, Lord and Paice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 i tell ya...after mr moore mr blackmore is my fave ever player Awesome. He's quickly catching up in my lists again. It's like I have this ladder system...depending on what mood I'm in, my favorite guitarist changes. These "moods" turn into "phases" which last several weeks, months or even years. Not going to lie, Blackmore's been pretty much at the top for at least two weeks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Nice. "Maybe I'm a Leo" is one of my favorite songs off of one of my favorite albums. Just for fun... Gov't Mule does it pretty well too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueGGx8ORGq8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 And...it's official! Ritchie Blackmore has replaced Jimmy Page, Rory Gallagher, Alvin Lee, Johnny Winter, Hubert Sumlin, Jimi Hendrix, and everyone else. Good job on becoming my favorite guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore... In ways, it's really like he bridged the gap between the blues-rock players and the shredders, because he does some classical-flavored phrases (although in a few interviews I've read and heard from him, he intimated that it was Jon Lord who infused most of the classical-inspired touches into Deep Purple's music, which is a sentiment I can definitely recognize as valid,) but he still has the wild, reckless edge of the garage-rock, blues-rock and psychedelic-rock era. So, you know, he has that real virtuosic touch and he pulls from a pretty wide range of influences, but he's nowhere near as clinical or predictable as some of the neoclassical players (I'm lookin' at you, Yngwie,) who really have great chops, but aren't anywhere near as interesting to listen to. Can't forget that he had a great band to work with, either--Jon Lord in particular, who played a really fantastic organ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of the early seventies 8 track days, Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
