Matt231st September 2008Great lesson Kuba.
What guitar and neck pu are you using they sound great?- Kuba Szafran1st September 2008
Hello Matt23. First guitar is 83' Tokai Breezysound (it belongs to me friend) - I don't know exactly what neck pickup sits there, but I guess it's a stock one. Second guitar I used is 75' Ibanez Stratocaster and I have there following pickups: bridge - DiMarzio Fast Track 2, Middle and Neck - Schaller single coils, don't know exact models.
Take care,
Kuba - Kuba Szafran1st September 2008

- Ralleliciouz2nd September 2008
kuba this is amazing!! absoulutely one of my new favorites:)
but there is one negative thing i think (because it sound so cool)..
when it pasts the 26th secound when you start bending it sounds like something wild is going to happen but then the lesson ends.. so i hope you will make another lesson where it starts from that point where you ended this lesson:)
hope my english make sence:) Cheers, keep up the good work

Hello GMC! This is my first lesson at GMC, but I hope it isn't the last one :). Today we're going to look closer at style of Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple era. Note that at the moment Ritchie is playing in his band called Blackmore's Night. Blackmore's Night is totally different from Deep Purple, as they're playing Renaissance music.
Main techniques that are used in this solo are:
-alternate picking
-pull-offs
-some slides
-a bit of bending
Chords progression of this lesson is pretty simple: G5 B5 G5 almost all the time except ending: there we have G5 B5 C5 G5
We are going to use notes from g blues scale or g minor pentatonic with some exceptions. Also one tritone appears. Technically wise this lesson should be no problem for intermediate players. I provided couple of backing tracks (original tempo of this lesson is 75 bpm). If you have any questions, don't hesitate asking me! I will do my best to help you.
Hope you like this lesson,
Good luck & see you!
Kuba Szafran
