Hello Ralleliciouz, I'm actually thinking about making next part of that lesson, but don't actually know when it will be ready. Also thank your all positive feedback.
- Ralleliciouz2nd September 2008
kuba this is amazing!! absoulutely one of my new favorites:)
but there is one negative thing i think ( because it sounds so good)
when it pasts the 26th second, and you start bending, it sounds like something wild is going to happen but then the lesson ends... so i hope you will make a new lesson, starting from the point where this one ends... Cheers, keep up the good work!!

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 - Matt231st September 2008

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!
