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.

More quotes by Ritchie Blackmore
I can never remember what I do even in the studio.
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
Ian Gillan, Roger Glover and I wanted to be a hard rock band - we wanted to play rock and roll only.
Ritchie Blackmore
If you can play well in the studio, you can play well on stage.
Ritchie Blackmore
Learning to play with a big amplifier is like trying to control an elephant.
Ritchie Blackmore
When something is not good, it's bad. Period
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 was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.
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
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 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
The cello is such a melancholy instrument, such an isolated, miserable instrument.
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
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
Those record companies don't know what's happening at all.
Ritchie Blackmore
I can imagine that Rod Stewart likes giving autographs because he's pure showbusiness.
Ritchie Blackmore
When you're around someone good, your own standards are raised.
Ritchie Blackmore
I have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.
Ritchie Blackmore
If a ballet dancer falls over, it's knowing how to get out looking clumsy that counts.
Ritchie Blackmore
I don't use the twang bar anymore. It's become too popular.
Ritchie Blackmore
