More quotes by Ritchie Blackmore
When you're around someone good, your own standards are raised.
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 have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.
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.

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

Ritchie Blackmore
When something is not good, it's bad. Period
Ritchie Blackmore
When you're recording, if you're not really clean in your playing, it sounds like a mess.
Ritchie Blackmore
I can never remember what I do even in the studio.
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
Learning to play with a big amplifier is like trying to control an elephant.
Ritchie Blackmore
One of the reasons I took up the guitar was I didn't want to speak to anybody. I really felt uncomfortable speaking to people, so I took the guitar up so I could hide behind it. I'm not comfortable explaining things, because my brain doesn't work that way.
