Deep Purple 'Burn' Isolated Guitar Track

Original Ritchie Blackmore's guitar track

[georgem]

I was a kid, in one week saw Rush then Rainbow. After Rush I was amazed how Alex Lifeson played, the PW record note for note, perfect. Then I saw Ritchie, opened my eyes to a different world, improvisation in a monster way. What a week for a young kid. Today Blackmore still my fav.

67 years young here. Still my favorite guitarist the man can make you feel his playing.

It's cool that you can hear Blackmore switching between the neck and bridge pickups constantly.

How many millions of guitar players started out because of Mr.Blackmore, he was truly a Master!!!!

I understand the comment here should be about Ritchie but Jon Lord's synth countermelody during the hammond solo is a stroke of genius. RIP Big Man!

Among all guitar players, to me Blackmore is the best. His riffs are amazing; he rarely plays power chords. His sense of harmony is very high. Every song he created usually has 3 main parts: a very singable riff; the quiet part he plays with the vocals / keyboard, and the solo. Even if he plays quietly when vocals or Jon Lord plays, he still has beautiful lines that combine very well with the song. Regarding his tone, he has way less distortion than I thought. And that makes his style even better.

What I find really interesting is how little distortion he's really using.

This guy is the ultimate guitar hero. Up there in the Top 5 of all time.

Amazing precision and simplicity when in the background. Not filling the song with overwhelming power chords or nonsense noise just to show off. This is a master properly handling his tool.

[Gruntle]

What i love about this is there are so many little imperfections in his playing, yet it sounds so perfect.

First heard Burn as a 13-year old on Live in London, and was so impressed I decided the whole town (Stornoway) had to hear it so I put the hi-fi speakers on the windowsill and turned the volume to 11.

Burn, Man On The Siler Mountain, Smoke On The Water, All Night Long, damn, Ritchie knew how to make magic from that G chord position

[JawTooth]

I love isolated tracks. This is what I imagine my guitar sounds like to my wife. She may not agree : (

[joeystratman]

Ritchie Blackmore is a genius! The guitar parts he recorded are an essential for the tune, orchestrating melodies etc. in coordination with keyboardist Jon Lord and the rest of the band. Great stuff!

[pbc]

Blackmore sometimes "criminally" underrated altough he actually one of the best guitarist in this planet.

[yellingelk]

What a unique tone he had. So trebly and thin on its own.. yet when mixed in with the band... it sounded meaty as hell and really cut through!

[JG-noiz]

John Lord really added to his perceived sound.

[ВалентинЛузин-че]

У Ритчи не просто запилы - а красивая лид гитара, с красивым запоминающим соло ! Вот высочайший класс Короля хардроковой гитары.

[pleun]

Playing a guitar is one inventing riffs like he did is divine, he is not human and not from this universe ☝️ this solo and Highway star are my favorites ❤❤❤

One of the best rock songs ever. Great composition, wonderful arrangement and instrumental features, fantastic vocals. And the only song I know with a constant drum solo inmidst the verses :). Burn was the first LP I owned many, many years ago. And I will love it until my last days.
