Ritchie Blackmore
Ritchie Blackmore, who is a highly accomplished guitarist and composer, is a co-founder of Deep Purple. The hard-punching of single guitar notes combines his free-flowing jam style of playing with softer, almost pipe organ sounds to produce a sound that has not even been duplicated. Now 75, for his fantastic riffs and his classically inspired solos, he is widely praised.
