Both are fantastic guitar players, but Ritchie invented this timeless Guitar riffs.

Morse is a great guitarist ... technical, skilled. Guitar hero! Blackmore is virtuous, eccentric, unique ... Guitar Genius!!!

Steve Morse has tech in the game. Ritchie Blackmore's soul sings in his guitar. That's why Steve Morse plays hard. And Ritchie Blackmore plays as easily as he paints a picture. Of course, Ritchie Blackmore is an unrivaled guitar genius.

steve es un buen guitarista muy talentoso pero richie es simplemente un genio irremplasable irrepetible el mejor.

Blackmore is Genius

Blackmore forever!!!!

The point people forget is that Ritchie wrote all this stuff. It’s incredible composition.

Ritchie’s playing is always memorable and recognizable and sets him apart from anyone else

Each has a character that cannot be replaced by one another. Salute to Steve Morse, although not his guitar style, he still plays Richie's style to please the audience.

Ritchie Blackmore🎸👍✨

Forever Ritchie simply the BEST

ritchie is so fantastic, immediately recognisably with just a single note - greatest rock guitarist ever!!!

Ritchie is king of rock history. Ritchie forever..

Риччи гениален в своём амплуа , нет слов !

Mr.Ritchie never can't beat....because his soul is real classic....

Ritchie Blackmore & Steve Morse are guitar virtuosos, Morse has maximum technique, but he learned from Ritchie, and it was Blackmore who composed the tune. Teacher and student, respect for both!

Playing is not the game .. the important matter is who composed this masterpiece RITCHIE BLACKMORE

Steve has always been a fantastic guitar player and rightly claims his spot to be one among the very best. To compare him with Ritchie, specially in a historic riff that Ritchie wrote in out of place. Many of great guitarists can play any Blackmore wrote flawlesly but none can ever replace Blackmore's sound. There is no substitude for originality.

Nadie toca mejor que Ritchie Blackmore, es el mejor!!!

Ritchie's variations on his own masterpiece are Always great too!!

The BEST FIVE of hard rock ever: Blackmore - Gillan - Paice - Glover - Lord

Blackmore forever!!!! He was pure magic!!!

To join a band as a guitarist after Blackmore, good courage! Morse is very self-confident person.

Ritchie 👍

Ричи непревзойденный!!! Моя любовь с ранней юности, вот уже на протяжении 45 лет...

There’s alway a sense of danger when Ritchie plays

Morse es un pedazo de guitarra con una tecnica increible pero Blackmore es unico inigualable la esencia de la improvisacion el mejor !!

Richie blackmore es único inigualable inimitable y no se puede hacer comparaciones con el respeto que se merece Steve Morse gran guitarrista pero Richie blackmore es fuera de serie 🇬🇧🤘

BLACKMORE!!!!!!!

👍🇬🇧❤BLACKMORE

SIN DESMERECER A STEVE ,BLACKMORE ES EL MAYOR CREADOR DE RIFFS Y SOLOS DE LA HISTORIA!!!

Ritchie Blackmore é o melhor guitarrista do rock de todos os tempos.

Blackmore was a genius when he was in the mood. He wasn't always like this.

Blackmore it's from another planet....

Ричи Блекмор лучший, без него уже не тот DP, Морс конечно техничный гитарист и хорошо выполняет свою работу в группе🎸😎

Any other guitarist you might not recognize at some point , but Ritchie never ! He is simply the greatest of all time since the existence of rock and no one will ever surpass him ...

Ritchie Blackmore is a pioneer of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. This man, along with a couple of 5-6 other great mucisians of his era, moved music many steps forward. Therefore thia comparison is unfair for both those two gentlemen.

Конечно же, Великий, что тут обсуждать) 👍👍👍💜

Richie composites are beyond words its Magical!!!!

Ritchie Blackmore fazia isso parecer ser fácil e natural, não tem como comparar.

Richie 🤟

Повторить стиль Блэкмора, может только сам Блэкмор. Стив Морс тоже отличный гитарист. А вообще то, глупо сравнивать. Only Blackmore himself can repeat Blackmore's style. Steve Morse is also a great guitarist. In general, it's silly to compare.

No hay comparación, Blackmore es un virtuoso, el mejor en mi opinión

Ritchie always in my heart there's no like Ritchie in the rock classic world...he created so many songs so many melodies and so many solo And all them we can sing ..my favorite guitarist ever no eny ather

Нельзя сравнивать гения с сильным технарём...Блэкмор гений....даже просто по вкусности звука слышно.....

THEY CAN'T JUST BE COMPARED, THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LEVELS. RITCHIE IS A GOD

Ritchie WAS the band. Nobody, not even Steve Morse whom I absolutely dig, can never, ever replace him. His Highway Star guitar solo is hands down the best kick ass solo ever recorded in history of rock. It never gets old. It kicks my ass each time I play DP

Incomparable!! Blackmore a lifetime... The touch of ritchie no one will ever have it!!

Blackmore, no doubt ! but not easy for Steve Morse to be always compared with such a genius.

Blackmore is always searching for tones... not just running up & down the fingerboard

You know, from a guitar playing aspect, both men are excellent. Steve is younger so currently, he would be the superior technical player right now. But now we get to the part that all Deep Purple fans care about the most. Ritchie created and composed all the classic / iconic material that makes Deep Purple what they are and the stuff Steve makes a great living off of today.

Steve is a good guitarist, he plays like a apassionate man who deserved more time to stay with the band and carry on, but Ritchie is a man from another world.

I like how Richie looked at the singer thinking, why are you singing my solo?

Блекмор создал риф High way star, а Морс его просто сыграл.

Steve Morse was incredible in the Dixie Dregs. He is playing with arthritis in his wrist now. That's why he has to play more from the elbow now.

I have been heavily in to Deep Purple and Ritchie since the early days. Shades of Deep Purple, Book of Taliesin etc. I bought Come Hell or High Water on VHS. It was a PAINFUL watch. Seeing a band you loved for over 20 years falling apart. It was obvious Ritchie had 'left' in his own mind. He was going through the motions, when he deigned to reappear on stage when he chose to. However it was Jon Lord who gave the ultimate accolade in the interview. He said to Steve Morse; " Don.t try to fill 'Blackers' shoes; nobody could. Bring your own shoes".

Запредельно великолепно! Незабываемо, вечно!

Всё как у Пушкина, - "Стив Морс - это Сальери, а дядя Черномор, он Моцарт"

Ричи гений и не превзойденный талант

Para mi, sin lugar a dudas, me quedo con el Maestro Blackmore 🎸🎶🎵🎼

Ричи не напрягается,само летит)))

Blackmore is a legend ! It's another level ! I liked 👍 excellent misicians!

Ritchie is great. his guitar play is dangerous.

Ritchie always steps up to the plate and gets the job done on the studio albums, but sometimes in a live performances there can be a lot of b.s.

Steve just tries to repeat what Blackmore invented 5 decades ago. I can't compare anyone in this world to Ritchie, I grew up listening his playings.

They are guitarists from different time periods. People can play like that now but No one could do what Ritchie did way back then. According to Brian May

Ritchie is brilliant to say the least. Glad to say that he got out of Purple and formed the most excellent Blackmore's Night with Candice!

Такое чувство что Steve Morse не играет Highway star а играет кавер на Highway star .. Слушается именно так

Two different guitarists, both great in their own right.

Любое повторение,...всегда будет только "повторением"....Блекмор-это явление,которого уже никогда не будет!..p.s. Скрипка "Страдивари" всегда лучше её "копии".

NÃO TEM COMPARAÇÃO!!! BLACKMORE É GÊNIO.

They really seemed to have fun with Steve. I think Jon really liked trading leads with him and improvising. Purpendicular was a really great album. Ritchie, not afraid of going into uncharted territory, yet when he applied discipline the results were unique and timeless. Ritchie liked to fire band members but I think he was right. Purple was supposed to be Roundabout with members coming and going. That’s really what happened. Turnover brought In Rock, Burn and even Come Taste the Band. Later, Purpendicular. Some of their best work. The dynamics of long lived bands are pretty interesting.

This is BLACKMORE's solo, he invented it, and therefore put his soul there. STEVE simply replayed the finished material, to which he added his unnecessary guitar whistles. RITCHIE - PET ! 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🍷🍾🇺🇦 .

RITCHIE GOD OF GUITAR

Оба великие музыканты,остальное не столь важно,дело вкуса кто кому близок по душе.👍♥️👏

С приходом Морса в Пепл, я бы назвал группу Стив Морс, и группа Deep Purple. Я ни в коем случае не принижаю талант и виртуозность этого замечательного гитариста, но если я на концерт Пепл, то я хочу слушать их произведения максимально приближенные к оригиналу. Если к новому клавишнику претензий нет, ибо он играет свои партии один в один как Лорд ( и по звуку и по содержанию), то Морс играет исключительно свою музыку. Уж если ты работаешь в таком легендарном коллективе, то уж будь так любезен играть один в один, как играл Блекмор. А то как то мне не в кайф слушать любимую мной, и я думаю очень многими, Дым над водой, с дикими запилами которые абсолютно не в кассу, которыми просто уродует песню Морс. Есть, конечно же, более виртуозные гитаристы чем Блекмор. Но дело в том, что такой как Блекмор только один. И это сам Блекмор. А остальные просто виртуозные гитаристы. А Блекмор просто обычный Гений. И не надо его ни с кем сравнивать. Просто не надо, и всё......

Непонятно, как сравнивать. Морс из концерта в концерт профессионально и тщательно воспроизводит студийный блэкморовский вариант (с очень малой вариацией в конце). У самого же Блэкмора нет двух одинаковых исполнений, это его принцип. Он абсолютно свободен в том, что сам сотворил. Формальная техника у Морса, что ни говори, как минимум не хуже блэкморовской. Но эта свобода Ричи, этот полёт...

Ritchie is incomparable

Blackmore is the true and only God on strings, it is that simple. Nothing compares, period.

I rarely connect as I am logged on in my real name, but... I love both these guitarists and have been fortunate enough to work with both. This is an unfair comparison. Steve is replicating one of Ritchie's solos, which others can do to the note, but the comparison should be with one of Steve's compositions such as Cruise Control. They are both great! However, Ritchie is my all-time favorite guitarist and composer, because it's the style of music I love the most. Gary Moore right there also. My good friend Steve Morse or k just as fine a guitarist and composer, so just prefer Richie's style of music, and at that style he is the greater ever! I was once mixing an Yngwie track at Cherokee Studios in LA late one night when one of the new, hot guitarists (intentionally withholding his name) barged in, pointed at Yngwie on the back and road to me "you're gonna wanna work with me, I can play all of his solos" I looked back at Yngwie who said "yes, but can you play any of your own?" And there you have it! Thanks for reading this long ramble and rock on all of you great fans!

Blackmore is so important for the true sound of Deep Purple that I like. I saw him a few times in Rainbow, Deep purple (even in 93) and in Blackmore's night. Morse is a very good guitarist, but for me in Deep Purple his tone does not fit what most of the MK2 songs require. Once I saw him with the band performing concerto. There was no click for me. The whole show I missed Ritchies sound. After that concert I decided to never see Purple live again, even though they brought in Ronnie Dio for the show. But to be honest, it is a silly comparisson. Ritchie left the band in 93, Morse is their current guitarist and in their newer albums he is alright. Purple is a different band now. Blackmore is one of the greatest, most influencial guitarists ever, Steve Morse is just a very good one. No comparisson

Морс хороший, а БЛЭКМОР - ЛУЧШИЙ!

Everyone has its own voice like fingerprints. It’s well compared , Forty years been into it , Our favourites can be recognised in hundreds . Blackmore , Gilmore , Scorpions, Gary Moore Malmsteen and many more . It’s the music in background of lives always playing . Thanks for these wonderful moments to listen these two together . ,

Супер класс. 👍👍👍👍Это нужно слушать бесконечно.. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

No comparison.... Morse is a great guitarist.. Richie is pure genious.. trully gifted composer.. he has the greatest arrangements.. Richie Django Reinhardt and Eddie Van Halen play whatever they feel and it sounds great.

No hay comparación alguna. .Richie.. y nada más!

Ritchie Blackmore... ❤️👍🏼

Thanks for sharing with us I love it

Морс достоин уважения . 👍 Ричи Гений вне рамок и времени

Both of then: AMAZING!! 👏👏👏👏👏 👏👏👏👏👏

Both have incredible and unique styles.

It's not fair to compare Steve and Ritchie based on a song that Ritchie wrote. Both of them are unique in their own way.

Ritchie plays with such fluidity and sense of ease. Steve seems to fight the guitar - picking the strings with terrific force. I'll take Ritchie's playing all week long and twice on Sunday.

I have never nor will ever be okay with Steve covering Ritchie's music, Steve does not have the right feeling about his technique to properly sell Ritchie's music to me, but that said, I love the music Steve writes with these guys it takes them to very cool place, his work with Dixie Dregs and The Steve Morse Band was all masterful compositions and high level straight up guitar Badassery, you don't win Best All around Guitar Player 5/6 years in a row by luck or accident he is truly one the gods. However so is Ritchie Blackmore, and Ritchie is a stand alone guitar player, I love Ritchie and he was/is so important to the world of guitar and always will be. So if the question here is "is Steve Morse better at playing Ritchie Blackmores music than Ritchie "? The answer is "absolutely not" no more than Ritchie would be at playing Steve's music, they both have their own voice and speak very differently and have powers all their own, I was 10 when "Machine Head" came out and I first learned of Ritchie Blackmore and Deep Purple, they defined "cool" and Ritchie's guitar playing changed my young life as did Jimmy page and Tony Iommi, I was a senior in high school in 1980 when I first heard "Dregs Of The Earth" and again my life changed, being a young guitar player by that time I thought I'd just heard the guitar of God most definitely intensified just a wee bit by bong hits of Colombian gold 😎 but, I had never heard anyone like him before and he immediately became a guitar hero. These guys both have something very special that has made the world of guitar unique powerful and exciting for me and I am happy for a world which both reign over us mere mortals✌🏼️

Both are great .

Их нельзя Сравнивать!!! Два Выдающихся Гитариста! Каждый-Гений Гитарного,Исполнительского Искусства! Браво Каждому!!!

Blackmore is magic!

Blackmore always - more menace and sheer virtuosity shines through The underlying personality issues between him and IG add to its splendour

both versions are great in their way, but Ritchie is the original Sound. He always delivered the unexpected and guitarists among you know that his playing live is nearly uncoverable, because it often is often delivered in expressionistic playing, meaning that he often does the wildest things with his guitar. He was someone who always delivered his great skills in improvising, technique and phrasing amongside with the wild ride a rock'n'roll gig should be.

They're both good guitarists, but really, the voice-over has to go.
