One more try Ritchie Blackmore and Deep Purple This is one guitarist who just keeps on evolving. Loved his work with Deep Purple and Rainbow but with Blackmores Night he has taken his playing to a new level. His acoustic work and the feeling that he puts into the music is brilliant. If any of you know of other players that achieve the same result with renaissance styles of music please let me know.   Talajuha Username: Talajuha Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Thursday, June 14, 2007 - 5:10 pm:    With links more than you want to know http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritchie_Blackmore Juha   Silverstrings Username: Silverstrings Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Thursday, June 14, 2007 - 9:01 pm:    Thank you Juha.

I seemed to have gravitaed towards the same style as his during his rainbow years. Perhaps it was a combination of my other infulences that he had as well that resulted in this similarity. He used the gypsy snke charmer scale that i used as well. Hes great!   Agr Username: Agr Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Friday, September 28, 2007 - 2:37 pm:    I must have missed this thread. Blackmore was one of my favorites back when I was teaching in the 70s. I used Deep Purple's Machine Head album as a way to deviate away from the normal pentatonic stuff. Ritchie really was creative in his style of solos. I'm still looking for a deal on a scalloped neck guitar so that I can mimick him closer...but from what I hear...once you go scalloped you never go back.   Zenday Username: Zenday Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Friday, September 28, 2007 - 10:34 pm:    Yea ive heard that myself. In an interview ritchie said that the main reason was that when he bended his strings up the string would fight and release itself from his fingers and with the scallope he is able to keep it up there.. also its quicker on his runs
