1. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to talk about what makes a guitar player great, regardless of how you personally feel about their style, sound whatever.....how about inspiring a generation of guitar players that have further gone on to inspire even more.

most people know this song but have no idea who sings it...



Ritchie defines neo-classical rock music. No ritchie no yngwie, no randy rhoads... no los gauchos de acero.



When he was younger I liked his song writing and riffs.........but my god he got sloppy and lazy , especially live, later on......I saw him three times with Rainbow in the 80sand his solos were just god awful. He pretty much sleep walked through the shows. I'll focus on him circa Smoke On The Water...yes, that's the Richie I will try to remember...... wink
