I'm not into that Keith Richard trip of having all those guitars in different tunings. I never liked the Rolling Stones much anyway.

More quotes by Ritchie Blackmore
I had given up the guitar between '75 and '78. I completely lost interest. I was sick of hearing other guitar players and I was tired of my tunes.
Ritchie Blackmore
I don't see myself as such an important guitarist.
Ritchie Blackmore
I see someone like John Williams, the classical player, and the amount of discipline and the natural ability that man has is so frightening. That requires so much natural talent. And I think my talent came from just practising, and I feel a bit intimidated when I see players that good.
Ritchie Blackmore
I found the blues too limiting, and classical was too disciplined.
Ritchie Blackmore
I was impressed by Hendrix. Not so much by his playing, as his attitude - he wasn't a great player, but everything else about him was brilliant.
Ritchie Blackmore
I was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.
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 turn on some jazz guitarist, and he won't do a thing for me, if he's not playing electrically. But Jeff Beck's great to listen to.
Ritchie Blackmore
I'm very moved by Renaissance music, but I still love to play hard rock - though only if it's sophisticated and has some thought behind it.
Ritchie Blackmore
I don't use the twang bar anymore. It's become too popular.
Ritchie Blackmore
Learning to play with a big amplifier is like trying to control an elephant.
Ritchie Blackmore
In my early days, I never used finger vibrato at all. I originally carved my reputation as one of the 'fast' guitar players.
Ritchie Blackmore
When you're around someone good, your own standards are raised.
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.
Ritchie Blackmore
Johnny Winter is one of the best blues players in the world. He's very underrated.
Ritchie Blackmore
Ian Gillan, Roger Glover and I wanted to be a hard rock band - we wanted to play rock and roll only.
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
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
When you're recording, if you're not really clean in your playing, it sounds like a mess.
Ritchie Blackmore
Playing a Fender is an art itself. They're always going out of tune.
Ritchie Blackmore
