More quotes by Ritchie Blackmore
Playing a Fender is an art itself. They're always going out of tune.

Ritchie Blackmore
I have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.
Ritchie Blackmore
I was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.
Ritchie Blackmore
Stevie Ray Vaughan was very intense. Maybe that's what caught everybody's attention. As a player, he didn't do anything amazing.
Ritchie Blackmore
I however don't go to clubs to show off and to be seen, and certainly not to make statements. I just want to be able to quietly watch a band.
Ritchie Blackmore

Ritchie Blackmore
I don't see myself as such an important guitarist.
Ritchie Blackmore
A lot of blues guitarists play with only three fingers, and they can't figure out certain runs that require the use of their little fingers. Classical training is good for that.
Ritchie Blackmore
The only way you can get good, unless you're a genius, is to copy. That's the best thing. Just steal.

Ritchie Blackmore
I can never remember what I do even in the studio.
Ritchie Blackmore
I'm not into that Keith Richard trip of having all those guitars in different tunings. I never liked the Rolling Stones much anyway.
Ritchie Blackmore
Learning to play with a big amplifier is like trying to control an elephant.
Ritchie Blackmore
I like leaping around on stage as long as it's done with class. None of this jumping up in the air and doing the splits
Ritchie Blackmore
I can imagine that Rod Stewart likes giving autographs because he's pure showbusiness.
Ritchie Blackmore
When something is not good, it's bad. Period
Ritchie Blackmore
Johnny Winter is one of the best blues players in the world. He's very underrated.
Ritchie Blackmore
Those record companies don't know what's happening at all.
Ritchie Blackmore
I don't put myself on Jeff Beck's level, but I can relate to him when he says he'd rather be working on his car collection than playing the guitar.
