Ritchie Blackmore talking about his collection of the most valuable guitars, Stratocasters and acoustic ones, very rare video, very interesting information High quality DVD-Rip
Ritche Blackmore is brilliant and the way he talks about his guitars on this video is very special.He found his Shangri La with Candys Night,and he does whst he loves to do.Isn't that wonderful ? I think it is !
Ritchie's humour is so dark it's awesome. This is what made him come off as an asshole to past band mates and such, but it's also part of his charm. I'm laughing watching him and his daughter interact in this video.
You know, after all is said and done, I think Richie might have came out at the top of the Rock guitar world. Defined a sound in the Rock world, a steady career all his life, healthy, has his song rights, he still has the lifestyle (cars, guitars, private jets), and still keeps his anonymity. Hardly a boring moment in his musical career, moving from cutting edge Rock ..all the way to Medieval music. He's continually doing what he loves. And, he's married to Candice! The only 'drug' he needs! Seriously, there are not many that can say they had all that in one lifetime :)
@@lanenordgren7641 any regrets ? I just can not stand the sound of single coil pickups....I have never played a Telecaster w/Humbuckers and would really like to see how Fender stacks up w/'em.......IMO, GIBSON's are the STANDARD when it comes to guitars. RB copied Hendrix and it is why RB switched...and then, Hendrix switched to GIBSONs towards the end due to too much STATIC in his tone....Hendrix went to a '67 Flying V Standard and a '63 SG CUSTOM, both are TOTAL BAD-A$$ GUITARS ! w/non static tone !
I can only hope that when I'm Ritchie's age, I can look so good, and have such a beauitful wife. And still play the guitar so amazingly. I just hope he makes many more albums before....
@@otnoirhc watch the end of california jam. They are not cheap copies. They are all new fenders. In 1974 nobody was making cheap copies that looked anything like that
A-200 and catch the rainbow need to be played almost weekly since the 70's.... So many works of art way ahead of their time listening to today's music. Thank you for all the offerings of a few lifetimes. Thought the middle pickup was out on his strats? maybe that was just for a time...
what a legend.....I just love this musical artist for his obvious musical brilliance. Blackmore also exposes the pathetic aspects of guitar heroes and ridiculous egos in the rock and roll industry. His wife Candice is fantastic and just lovely - great musician in her own right. Lots of Deep Purple and Rainbow fans and other individuals in the music industry have been a little bitter and vindictive in their judgement of Blackmore's shift away from his early years. this says more about them than it says about Ritchie. Keep up the great musical journey you are on. loving it
+Peter Kan An interesting take on him. Ritchie refuses to allow anyone to tell him what to do. Like most anyone who has enjoyed his work, I'm very familiar with DP and Rainbow. I'm going to dig into Blackmore's Night, and absorb what he did with that...style of music.He's an all-time great that, for whatever reason, is roundly ignored by his contemporaries in England - Page, Beck, and Clapton. I have no idea why that is the case. I've yet to find any comments from either of those three on Blackmore. Why is that? In any event, Blackmore deserves a place among the pinnacle of the great influential guitarists from England.
Ritchie Blackmore ~ The Super 🌟 Star of a guitarist and known for his awesome songs of Rock 'n Roll ~Always will be remembered for his great performances !
@@bryanmannoia8410 He probably had/has a few more somewhere which are not worth being mentioned. Also at least years ago he had a warehouse where the old Marshall´s were stocked, etc.
@@oopsydaizi3s824 Lol. I got your reference . saw an interview a while ago where Ritchie said he was gonna hire some Swedish guys for beating up Ian Gillan in a dark alley
I love the way his fingers move when he plays its a type of structured fluidity that effortlessly blends fire and air into a harmonic convergence of oh what the hell am I talking about lol
I like all of it. When I was a kid these actors came into our school, and played medieval music, and I enjoyed it. Then when I was in my 20s I ended up buying a 62 reissue polar white strat. One day I will buy a banjo or mandolin. I don't know why some people try to pigeonhole others when there are so many great types of music to enjoy, and experiment with.
Il chitarrista rock anni 70 più grande di tutti! Adoro Ritchie Blackmore, tutto il suo repertorio con i Deep Purple, i Rainbow.....un musicista geniale e speciale per me.....lui è importantissimo per me, gli voglio bene come se lo conoscessi....buona vita Ritchie.....e grazie Moopha per aver pubblicato questo video. Ciao
Ritchie your cats gravitate to that room because you don't clip your guitar strings off at the ends ... they like to play with the springy ends.... clip them off and breathe my friend.
I seen Blackie's first guitar during the in rock album ES-335 go for sale Christy's had a lucky guy from Connecticut for 20k. His x in Germany needed money. So low key that a guitarist of his magnitude only pledged to 20K. It boggles the mind.
Awsome one piece strat. Richie always my favorite guitarist. The only guitars I would love to have sighn my stratocaster. Rock on richie. Rainbow deep purple. I've been to many shows. Deep purple my favorite band all time.
I actually strapped on and briefly strummed the Fender Stratocaster that Ritchie played at Edinburgh Odeon 1972. It was all white and for years I had a photo of him playing it all dressed in black that night that I took from front of stage but it didn't survive the years. Me and a mate helped the roadies pack up the gear after the gig and as it was still just proped up against summit I asked if it would be okay to strap it on. I was only 16 and couldnt afford a real Fender Strat myself so you can imagine what a moment that was. My mate took a few photos but without any more flash bulbs they were just a messy blurr and not worth keeping. Anyway I remember he had hit that guitar of the P.A. at the end a few times but it wasnt broken. I bet I was thinking, at that age, damn I cant even afford such a guitar and he,s happy trying to break it. Just trivia but I still remember the concert and the before and after.
Very happy that I jumped at the chance to buy one of my heroes signature Fender Stratocaster when I did it's the most beautiful and sexiest thing I've ever seen
i sat beside her at a deep purple gig in scotland just before he left. i spoke to her a number of times and she was just snooty thought she was better than everyone....still pretty i should add...
Look, still has the old tag on, never even played it. You've just bought it? Don't touch it, no-one We'll I wasn't going to touch it, I was just pointing at it. Well, don't point! It can't be played, never. I mean I've never eve.. Can I look at it? No. no. That's it, you've seen enough of that one.
I have been in that room on Long Island. For anyone that tries to say this man is an asshole, or grumpy, or mean all I got to say is you're confused, however I can see him losing patience with a musician who is not truly in it for the music first. .
When the dust settles, I feel there will be a realisation of just how important Ritchie’s contribution to rock guitar music was and is.
Was there ever any doubt?
-No, I'm not.
-Yes, you are. Be good now.
I cannot believe that some guy just thought that it would be a good idea to change Ritchie Blackmore's neck without asking.
Richie's first guitar is surely much older than Candice, Ha-Ha-Ha!!
Hilarious!!
Yes that’s for sure
Another reason Ritchie is God. 😆
He is a lucky man but really she's very lucky also
Probably the same age; the bullet truss rods and first Deep Purple album came out in 1971, the year she was born.
Cool to see Ritchie so accessible and being so humane. Candice, ya done good!

Richie is a strange guy but one helluva guitarist.I have been a fan of his since I was a Kid during the deep purple days.
He's the reason I got my first electric guitar.
Me too
And me too
Blackmore is the guy who interested me in switching from a Gibson to the strat 40 + years ago.
Same

Ritchie to me the best guitarist ever!
100% agree.
Oh my God Ritchie's wife is just Adorable!
🙄
Did you notice any guitars?, What guitars?
They seem so happy and content, Richie is 100% genius.
A brilliant musician and guitar player.

Sit Ritchie....speak Ritchie...tell them about your guitar Ritchie.....What are you doing Ritchie??...Stop choking me Ritchie!!!
+MyworstEnemy That's just because the camera is there...
LOOOL :D
Yeah well when your damn near 75 and nailing some young trim like that, it takes presidence I suppose.
Lol
'At Home with The Blackmores'... what a great reality show that would be.
@Peter Marshall... I would watch that. Probably would be alot better, than the reality show, The Osboures had. lol
Lots of scenes of Richie with a strap-on up his ass.
I know this goes without saying but, damn what a great player.
Very sweet, inviting us into their home....Thanks Ritchie & Candace
Yep!
Where's your Deep Purple guitars Ritchie? "Smashed em'"
Some were stolen, also at least one was smashed as well, yes.
obviously smashed on Ian's head by the way.
@@Picato75 I though all the guitars that he smashed where cheap of brand copies.
@@otnoirhc watch the end of california jam. They are not cheap copies. They are all new fenders. In 1974 nobody was making cheap copies that looked anything like that
I am a big Blackmore fan and saw him live in Denver a long time ago, awesome show.
Kentucky Woman guitar solo still my all time favourite. Absolutely BRILLIANT.
No one makes guitar playing look so easy as ritchie and Jeff beck
Seriously awesome !! Probably the most I've ever seen Ritchie Talk lol

Page said of Blackmore's playing abilities "I can't touch Blackmore".
@@rklewis2 maybe he´s a die hard of Ian Gillan !
No it doesn't, it sez more about Candace and her Yoyo-NoNo influence over RB !
@@rklewis2 Except Candace !
Candice is the best thing that ever happened to Richie. She completes him. Bless them both !!
I 100 percent agree!!!!!
Yep!
Excellent body, nice neck, sound hole, and a head stock that'll blow your socks off.
Banjo you are talking about the guitar right?
@@banjopink4409 hahahahahaha
Ritchie Blackmore ~ The Super 🌟 Star of a guitarist and known for his awesome songs of Rock 'n Roll ~Always will be remembered for his great performances !
A surprisingly small amount of guitars
that's what I was going to say. I can't believe I have more guitars than Ritchie. ah well, he plays like no one else.
Ryan Thompson Guitarist I don't count the aucustics, so yeah. Got more myself even.
I reckon these are just the ones he put in shot for the video, I highly doubt that's his entire collection
@@drexlspivey5828 He always had a Gibson 330 (or 335 maybe?) and I doubt he got rid of it.
@@bryanmannoia8410
He probably had/has a few more somewhere which are not worth being mentioned.
Also at least years ago he had a warehouse where the old Marshall´s were stocked, etc.
I'm willing to bet Ritchie has many more guitars in storage.
And the man who “fixed” Ritchies scalloped guitar fretboard was never heard from again.
I heard he was attacked in an alley by some Swedish guys
@@oopsydaizi3s824 Lol. I got your reference . saw an interview a while ago where Ritchie said he was gonna hire some Swedish guys for beating up Ian Gillan in a dark alley
Dude is on a whole other level as an artist & birthed the #1 beginner riff on guitar with Smoke On The Water!
I love Mr. Blackmore’s playing, but his sarcasm is unrivaled.
I love the way his fingers move when he plays its a type of structured fluidity that effortlessly blends fire and air into a harmonic convergence of oh what the hell am I talking about lol
Richie is a great composer for all time!

Bravo Mister Blackmore!!!
Thenk YOU for MUSIK!!!

Precious vidéo and great gift from Ritchie and his wife, félicitation, thank you
Taking my first and only guitar lessons more than 40y ago I would have loved having Ritchie as a teacher🤩😄
i don't think i've ever seen Ritchie this happy in interviews, you can really see he's in love and happy with Candice
Perfect woman for Ritchie, Psychologically match!
Bayu Mahardhika so sad to see a rock god in this state of whippage. Shame.
Nobody touches guitar like Richie Blackmore!
I mean NOBODY!
So sweet seeing these two together while Ritchies explaining all the thingies.
He needs to invest into some guitar stands
"Most 12 strings are usually unplayable because the action is so high, as you know"
Whether you like Ritchie or not he at least tells it honestly.
Very interesting. yeah ,thank you Ritchie
Richie saw you live back door tour in 80s. Awesome show and you played amazing that night. Cheers, James.
Wow, just now seeing this? Where the he!! Have I been? Love this guitar hero.
Only Richie Blackmore would tell Fender, "When you build my signature strat make it completely different than you would a strat."
Much respect to Ritchie Blackmore..the true professional, in every way..
🎸👌🙏🎶
Thanks Richie, I enjoyed that 😊👍❤️
When he picked up the mandolin i could feel a spinal tap moment coming on ...
Ritchie your cats gravitate to that room because you don't clip your guitar strings off at the ends ... they like to play with the springy ends.... clip them off and breathe my friend.
*Brilliant as always !
She remind me of young Stevie Nicks
She looks rather more like a singer called Lynsey De Paul from the '70's.
She looks as though she could have been Candice's mother.
Except she wasn't.
We all came to see just that one Strat.
@Mon Station Those old white guitars tend to yellow over time
I seen Blackie's first guitar during the in rock album ES-335 go for sale Christy's had a lucky guy from Connecticut for 20k. His x in Germany needed money. So low key that a guitarist of his magnitude only pledged to 20K. It boggles the mind.
I Love both of them.
And he actually made this like 20 years after the release of 'This is Spinal Tap'. The irony - oooh, the irony..
Awsome one piece strat. Richie always my favorite guitarist. The only guitars I would love to have sighn my stratocaster. Rock on richie. Rainbow deep purple. I've been to many shows. Deep purple my favorite band all time.
The black strat at the end looks like an early 60's one. I'm guessing 62. It's probably the only "real vintage" strat he has.
great interview! Love those Fenders.
Me encanta y enternece la atención y la admiración de Candice. Sin duda sus ojos irradian no solo amor sino una gran admiración por el maestro.
say what you want about him, you can tell he's a real guy
+Rory Garth with such a woman at one's side, who wouldn't be ?
I've not once thought of him as a hologram.
yes I like this ,,,very good info
He looks like a good man for her. Great video!
whatever instrument he plays...he plays amazingly well❤
I like how all his guitars look like used instruments that someone actually plays regularly.

no matter how old or legendary you are, when you talk about your guitars you talk like an euphoric boy playing his toys.
Ritchie is a guitarist Trail Blazers.
In the Rock world he is The Best.

The man is whipped
Sweet video!!! Very inspiring
How amazingly beautiful she is :)
i sat beside her at a deep purple gig in scotland just before he left. i spoke to her a number of times and she was just snooty thought she was better than everyone....still pretty i should add...
Meh....
just pretty? she's hot as fuck. let's be honest.
@@spiritualcramp8000 true, she is very hot, even after 50 :D Ritchie knew what to do
Witches... Oh, look at the time. I must run....
3:09 Genius...
Ritchie and his daughter as so cute!
God the action is soooo high on the first guitar!!
I love R.B!!!!
Still, this video is so much Spinal Tap…in a good way!!!❤
Look, still has the old tag on, never even played it.
You've just bought it?
Don't touch it, no-one
We'll I wasn't going to touch it, I was just pointing at it.
Well, don't point! It can't be played, never.
I mean I've never eve..
Can I look at it?
No. no. That's it, you've seen enough of that one.
Don't point, even.
Can I have a look at it?
No -you have seen enough of that one.
Yeah, total fuckin arse ! I couldn't hang with that Guy for 5 minutes....
Overzealous fret man! That's too kind.
I have been in that room on Long Island.
For anyone that tries to say this man is an asshole, or grumpy, or mean all I got to say is you're confused, however I can see him losing patience with a musician who is not truly in it for the music first. .
I really love u both
👍
Really cool !
Richie is still in good shape looking good having a beautiful wife Candice and his fingers is still like thunders..........
You da man ! Nice collection no doubt many with a story. 🤘
No guitar hangers or stands! lol!
Candice's voice is angelic.
Even a guitar hero has to answer to his boss! :P
Haha...his sense of humor about the metal he put on the guitar head.
Razzy Hass
Thought it might be a cigarette holder.
@@clownpocket i've heard that ritchie doesn't smoke
All those priceless guitar..
Super cool 😎
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶✨⭐️
Can't believe Ritchie's oldest guitar was ruined by a tech. How did that tech not know what a scalloped neck was?
100% he was fired after that.
Personally I'm more impressed by Candices collection of witches. Ritchie being the primary one.
When your guitars are older than your wife... don't expect too much.
