Deep Purple
In the pantheon of rock guitarists, few names evoke as much reverence, controversy, and intrigue as Ritchie Blackmore. As the founding axe-slinger behind Deep Purple and Rainbow, and the elusive force behind Blackmore’s Night, his legacy is as complex as his playing — mercurial, brilliant, and utterly unique. He is, in a word, untouchable. And yet, for all his accomplishments, Blackmore remains one of the most inspiring and threatening figures to ever strap on a Stratocaster.
