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

More quotes by Ritchie Blackmore
I can imagine that Rod Stewart likes giving autographs because he's pure showbusiness.
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
When something is not good, it's bad. Period
Ritchie Blackmore
Those record companies don't know what's happening at all.
Ritchie Blackmore
I can never remember what I do even in the studio.
Ritchie Blackmore
I have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.
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
Ian Gillan, Roger Glover and I wanted to be a hard rock band - we wanted to play rock and roll only.
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
Johnny Winter is one of the best blues players in the world. He's very underrated.
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 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 don't use the twang bar anymore. It's become too popular.
Ritchie Blackmore
If a ballet dancer falls over, it's knowing how to get out looking clumsy that counts.
Ritchie Blackmore
I was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.
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
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
The only way you can get good, unless you're a genius, is to copy. That's the best thing. Just steal.
