  When people ask Jeff Beck or Eric Clapton, I say "Ritchie Blackmore"

  Ritchie is one of the few players whose sound and feel is so iconic and recognizable — you can pick out his sound from amidst a complete jumble of sounds. It is truly sad to see him not being celebrated like many of his less talented contemporaries are today.

  Ritchie is hands down the best guitarist I've EVER heard, and I'm a musician, so that's a LOT! 🥰 But you haven't even heard the best of Ritchie until you listen to Blackmore's Night- he's just on a whole other level than everyone else! Listen to The Storm!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

  No one has his Tone,Sound,Technical feel,Style! He is the God of Guitarist  🎸! Guitarist  try copying  him! Blackmore, Hendrix, Paige, SRV,Beck,Gilmore, Eddie, Clapton are all God's! To me Blackmore  is #1 😊

  Ritchie Blackmore is an icon, always loved the raw emotion in his playing, technically great but never too perfect, emotions flavour and carry his solo's and playing to transcend the mere notes and techniques used.

  I have lost count of the times I have seen Ritchie perform live. He still tops the list of artists I have seen perform multiple times. As a young teen he became my first "guitar hero" when I heard him on "Made in Japan". His playing and his stage presence, really something special. I have had the pleasure and honour of meeting lots of artists over the years, but having been able to shake hands with Ritchie a few times and certainly the time I met him backstage with my wife and my (then 9 year old) daughter at a castle in Germany will always stand out. I still see him and my daughter sitting next to each other on a few steps backstage. Ritchie really is one of a kind. Thank you for this analyses.

  Fun to watch an accomplished guitarist appreciate a guitar hero who just kicks it out of the park with his playing.  Rock guitar and gymnastics have a similar "look at what I can do" energy about them and this was an Olympic performance.

  Ritchie is best guitar player all time, his feeling, ideas and riffs are the best off rock n roll music.
