The fact that I can listen to this video and still think of great examples you didn't choose just demonstrates how astonishingly proflific Blackmore is with guitar riffs.
@Captain Bruh Shut up, all Jimi did was play blues & rock, other than that playing with teeth or on the back or between his leg, he was never the first to do any of this lol
The sheer vol. of his guitar riffs is astounding, even his last Rainbow, stranger in us all, has amazing riffs. Page was great but when LZ broke up it was over, Iommi another master but still prefer RB's work. Just my personal taste of course
The Master of the masters. Pure guitar genius. Amazing amount of riffs and solos of genius. Best known for his riffs but he did incredible solos too. Also a fantastic showman... he had everything.
That is awesome stuff. For part 2 you can squeeze in Hard Loving Man, Flight of the Rat, The Mule, Sail Away, High Ball Shooter, Lady of the Lake, No Time To Lose, Can’t Happen Here, Freedom Fighter, Mid Town Tunnel Vision, Black and White, Fire in the Basement, Cut Runs Deep and Ramshackle Man
For those who are interested, Blacky released a new song with the reincarnated Rainbow with Ronnie Romero as the singer, it's called Waiting for a Sign and I find it quite good, especially the riff...
A very thorough accomplished performance, I enjoyed it very much. It also reflects the utter musicianship of Ritchie Blackmore and his ability to adabt different melodic strains.....
Fanstastic job! Ritchie and Purple are the best. Their music is so different than other artists. You play it very well. We marvel at what Blackmore was able to come up with. Who else can match him riff for riff? Nobody
There are so many awesome blackmore riffs that even a list of 50 isn't enough to fit all of them. There are always gonna be good riffs that are not making the cut
Superb, thanks for sharing that..... the amount of amazing riffs Ritchie as come up with over the years is astounding, the man has been so creative, and this is why he will always be my favourite guitarist.
Soldier of Fortune, Temple of the king, Catch the rainbow, Stone Cold, I surrender, Space Truckin', Spotlight kid, etc, etc, there's so many gems from Ritchie. He's the master.
Blackmore is an icon. Riffs for days. My first 8 track was “Made in Japan”. I was six. I’ve been a fan ever since. Often Blackmore is disrespected by the rock “intelligencia”. He’s numero uno in my book. Long Live Rock n Roll. Long Live Ritchie Blackmore.
Black Night wasn't released on In Rock, but as a single in June 1970 if I remember correctly. However, it was included in the 25th anniversary release of the aforementioned album.
Reading my post 5 months after the fact, I realize that I forgot to mention that you did a great job on those riffs!!! I’ve been a DP fan since I was 12, and In Rock is still my favorite of their albums! It was the second LP that I ever got, in 74! Keep on rockin’!!
Just listened all the way through. You have talent yourself to be able to step into Richie's shoes and play his riffs like the original sounded. Nice tone on your playing also. Well done. Blackmore sure is a masterful musician. I am proud to be able to say I saw them 3 times in Cardiff when those early riffs were hot off the press. Together with Led Zep and Sabbath. Then ELP and early Genesis. What a time to live.!!!
Well done mate superb riffage.. Love that Mandrake Root got in there... My schoolbag in 77 had Blackmore is God written on it.. Still used it for College In 79..got a few strange looks.. Did nt care!!!
It would really be super - if you want - to do a Volume 2 Ritchie Blackmore Riffs!!!!! Thanks in advance very much, and I absolutely love your channel!!!!!!
Blackmore is today so underaded.in the 70ies and 80ies the game was for blackmore, but something happend in the 90ies. It must be said: Clapton, Beck, Page aaaand Blackmore (and Iommi + Gilmour ). For Metal guitar players Blackmores influence was higher than anybody else. Good Job by the way
Thank again for the JOY! Bloody good summary! My guitarist toplist: 1. Blackmore 2. Blackmore 3. At long last Blackmore 4. Blackmore again 5. Mark Knopfler (As a drummer I always start at home "cxovering" - playing to DP hits - Fireball, Flight of the Rat, Bloodsucker, Rat Bat Blue :) These are the best to drum.) Very glad to meet You, a Blackmore appreciator and "understander". (One mistake: Since you been gone: this was a terrible choice of RB - to me.) Anyway I missed Black Masquerade, Spanish Archer. But was glad to listen to Strange kinda Woman. Here is on dums (with a bit Zeppelin's Black Dog:) ua-cam.com/video/ZpFTs976pmc/v-deo.html
Fantastic job! must have been hard setting up backing tracks and learning the order of what to play. One song I would have added and surprised wasn't here is 'Light in the black' from the Rising album. Nonetheless you're awesome!
Ritchie gets overlooked when people review the best riffs of the 70s, other than the habitual nod to Smoke on the Water. This is helping address the balance. Thanks.
Ни один гитарист не может сравниться с Блэкмаром по количеству сольных партий, которые все великолепны. Ну сколько их у Пейджа, у брайна Адамса, у Гарри Мура и у всех остальных... Единственно ещё кого уважаю это Гилмора. Блэкмор гений. Он не повторим. Он самый лучший. Он номер 1....
GOOD JOB!!....Just one or two notes missing from a couple of the solo's.......And , in some cases , a little more emphasis on a couple of the chords wouldn't go amiss. But , as a lifelong Blackmore fanatic , I'd say that was Excellent!
he's not heard by many young folk now. But he's not under-rated by those who become familiar with his stuff. I'm 65 and just met a 27 year old on a tour who told me of Ritchie, a guitarist in "Blackmore's Night" who she really liked. I filled her in on his history, starting with DP then Rainbow. She really loves him now
MrStevecro because young people don’t give a shit about hard rock/metal and guitar any more. I’m a 32 yr old guitarplayer myself, and Blackmore is regarded as one of the best. Not underrated at all
I still think in terms of back in the day he was a bit underrated. He never gets mention with names like Page, Beck, Clapton etc even though he was right there with them.
Very good job ! Not easy to fill all those riffs one after another... I know about twenty DP's songs on guitar but not all of this ! Very nice material for fans like me.
He has so many, but you played some greats. The only riff master that has as many if not more is Toni Iommi. Those 2 guitarist along with Michael Schenker, Frank Marino, and Zakk Wylde are my main influences. No real particular order, but my riffs tend to have more Iommi, and Blackmore style to them.
Great guitar you have there and i´m amazed you played all the songs with the same equipment. To me Ariel was a good final. Love it!...Forgot to mention I´m very impressed of your skills. Wouw
Thank you for the comment, Kenn! I gave my best to dial in the tone that is somewhere in between the eras that can cover it all. The best of all, it's all done with a cheap VST plugin, no real amplifiers and pedals :)
to think it was a battle to get Purple in the rock n roll hall of fame,I wonder if Blackmore has a little black book with a couple of dozen riffs ready to unleash!
paul schofield Generally Americans cant seem to perceive just how great Purple are/were. They generally don’t get it. No one really championed them in the music press in U.K. or USA. Prob’ 90% of what they did achieve was through people actually seeing them live. No rock band bettered them, live IMO.
He is a G minor player. Quite a few are variations of the same thing.. But he hid it well 😉 He has admitted as much himself. My favourite guitarist of all time.

Great composer,the man in black
The fact that I can listen to this video and still think of great examples you didn't choose just demonstrates how astonishingly proflific Blackmore is with guitar riffs.
yup. i missed black masquerade, the battle rages on, a twist in the tale, and everything from slaves and masters, as well as hard lovin' man... oh.
The first two which sprang to my mind were Why Didn't Rosemary and Village On The Sand. But there are tons more.
He's the hardcore Page
@@BrandonScottFox1 Page couldn't carry BLACKMORE ' S guitar case.
haha well dayum :p
blackmore is the best guitarist ever
Definetley he is a GIANT and one of the 5 ABSOLUTE Top Players in Hard Rock !
Deep Purple was ONLY with Blackmore Great ..He is THE ROCK DIVA !
Not true...no such thing...
@Captain Bruh The first wheel is never the best. The first person to paint well wasn’t the best painter ever, either. Try another argument.
@Captain Bruh there's no such thing as being objective with music, everything is subjective.
@Captain Bruh Shut up, all Jimi did was play blues & rock, other than that playing with teeth or on the back or between his leg, he was never the first to do any of this lol
The early Rainbow with Dio and the classic purple line up ...class
The sheer vol. of his guitar riffs is astounding, even his last Rainbow, stranger in us all, has amazing riffs. Page was great but when LZ broke up it was over, Iommi another master but still prefer RB's work. Just my personal taste of course
The Master of the masters. Pure guitar genius. Amazing amount of riffs and solos of genius. Best known for his riffs but he did incredible solos too. Also a fantastic showman... he had everything.
I really can't image a world without In Rock... best studio album ever
buriedverydeep .....and ever .... and ever !
согласен
Led Zep 2 ,Black Sabbath (debut) Deep Purple In Rock the foundation of all what was to become Metal .
A school book for all young guitarists!
Just listening to 50 Amazing riffs with so many still missing is mind bowling, What are Genius Ritchie Blackmore is!🏆🏆🏆
That is awesome stuff. For part 2 you can squeeze in Hard Loving Man, Flight of the Rat, The Mule, Sail Away, High Ball Shooter, Lady of the Lake, No Time To Lose, Can’t Happen Here, Freedom Fighter, Mid Town Tunnel Vision, Black and White, Fire in the Basement, Cut Runs Deep and Ramshackle Man
He is a guitar god. Thanks for the demo...
This was incredible. Ritchie would be proud.
thanks, very kind of you! :)
For those who are interested, Blacky released a new song with the reincarnated Rainbow with Ronnie Romero as the singer, it's called Waiting for a Sign and I find it quite good, especially the riff...
the new Rainbow are total crap and as for the singer - he is useless.
Sixteenth Century Greensleeves is pure gold
RITCHIE BLACKMORE GENIO CREATIVO,.
50 RIFF Y TODOS GENIALES.

Thanks! :)
@Bj D Spot on fella, my thoughts exactly on those three bands
Tony Iommi
Stil I’m sad isn’t a Ritchie creation.
@@jamieokane989 true, but he’s the one that breathed life into it. The Yardbirds’ version sounds like a death march.
Blackmore as a guitarist is hard to beat
this video is an awesome tribute, see how Blackmore is important on the history of rockn`roll.
There are so many awesome blackmore riffs that even a list of 50 isn't enough to fit all of them. There are always gonna be good riffs that are not making the cut
Wow, that was kind of a dream come true to see those riffs played in one sitting.
Great job!
thank you for the kind comment. Cheers!
Superb, thanks for sharing that..... the amount of amazing riffs Ritchie as come up with over the years is astounding, the man has been so creative, and this is why he will always be my favourite guitarist.
thanks! He's amazing even before we get into solos, which are equally as good as the riffs :)
Brilliant
Knocking on your back door- best riff ever
Cover of Ritchie Blackmores Rainbow reboot…looks like Worzel Gummage
Pictures of home is so fucking good
Awesome song, that solo has been on my to-do list for 15 years :)
Best song of Machine Head
Soldier of Fortune, Temple of the king, Catch the rainbow, Stone Cold, I surrender, Space Truckin', Spotlight kid, etc, etc, there's so many gems from Ritchie. He's the master.
surrender is from russ ballard , like since you been gone
Been listening to the stargazer solo on repeat
As a life long fan of Blackmore, you executed each of the rifs to perfection. Well done and thanks for sharing this.
