Check his channel out, lots of other great stuff.

Most accurate version by far!!
Sound and playing!
Thanks man!!
You Killed the King! That was amazing. Tone, phrasing and accuracy. Top notch well done. 👌
:D :D :D Thanks so much!!
Great job! Love the tone, the new strat and the clean sweep picking.
Thanks Adam! Glad you liked it!
Pure Blackmore sound🙏🏻🙏🏻🎸🎸🎸
Can't be much more accurate than that. Fantastic job on a great song!!
Thanks a lot, James!
Always look forward to your videos. You make the most accurate videos on CZcams highlighting Blackmore's tone and playing techniques. 10/10.
Thanks so much, Robert! :)
You went beast mode in the solo! Absolutely stunning!
Ahahah, thanks Timon! I had no other option lol
Badassery! Awesome playing 🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥
Thanks a lot! 🎸🎸🎸
It would be nice if you actually had a lesson on teaching the solo , as it is really hard to break down each section and learn it without the proper equipment, which I, and most people don't have . I got a call from a music store ( EUWurlitzer) where my 1971 100 watt Super Lead was being serviced , and was asked if Ritchie Blackmore could borrow my head for a show with Rainbow at The Main Act in Lynn Mass as he blew one of his in sound check .Of course I said yes and got all access passes and got to hang with Ritchie & even play his Stratocaster.
I have great pictures from that night.
Thanks

Hi Kevin, that's a great story!!
About the lesson on how to play the solo, I could try playing it slow section by section as I don't know how to add the tabs over the video like my friend Adam does on his channel (dogwithtwobones).
Would love to see you teach it however you can
Amazing tone and playing!
Thanks so much!! 🎸🎸🎸
That was awesome Max !!
Thanks a lot Dave!
Yeah..
this is great stuff..
I wish I had some recording equipment lol
Thanks for sharing again!
I enjoy these vids
Il fratello illegittimo di Blackmore!!
Bravo Max suono centrato..bellissimo!!!
Grazie Mauro!! 🎸🎸🎸
Hi M!! Look like I missed your last vids, I'll have to catch this. Perfect playing and perfect sound as usual!
Jerôme, mon ami! Thank you so much my friend! I've been having some fun with the post MK2 era :))
Felicitaciones Max !! Sacaste notas que nunca les presté atención, y ese dedo pulgar tremendo, jaja, abrazo.
Killer!
Awesome
Thanks!!
Você é o melhor!!! Parabéns!!! Abraço do Brasil. You is the best. Congratulations!!! Hug from Brazil. Viva Rainbow!!!
Obrigado!! 😊😊😊
Woooowwww... Amazing...You play Like Ritchie Blackmore... 👍👍👍😀😀😀❤️❤️
Thank you! I'd wish...no human can play like Ritchie Blackmore... :)
Such a great video. Dogwithtwobones won’t do A Light in the Black (for a great reason), but I gotta hear one of you guys just play that solo lol no lesson or anything, just to hear that performance. Thanks for all you guys do!
Thanks man! That solo is great, love it. The main problem I see is that it’s very long lol. I’ll look for a good backing track first and see how it goes...👍🏻
Oh
Yeah !!
I'm glad you played on the backing track I made 😍
Thanks so much, Noriya-san! :)
Hi my friend, any chances of having one of your backing tracks for "Starstruck"? :)
Just you killed the king Blackers...tone, execution...all perfect indeed
Thank you so much Fabio... :)))
Great job again, Max, as always!!! 10/10. I don't know who are those morons that gave a thumb down... I guess they are either jaleous, or either they just don't like Blackmore :-). The amp sounds great! :-) :-)
LOL, thanks Eric!! 🎸🎸🎸
Nailed it! Will your pedal work that well with Marshall SV20?
Thank you! Yes, I know from people who have that amp that the pedals works well. Cheers, M.
@@mgalbu Definitely on my list for next pedal. I should check on how the customs and added VAT is going to affect the price if shipped to Bulgaria as it might make the price much higher but I definitely love the sound best from all the Blackmore-ish tone in a box videos.
Good work as always. Curious about the cleans for the Marshall Major Build as in clean tones suitable for a jazz gig/studio recordings if one was brave enough to show up with such an amp?
It has beautiful cleans really. The amp was originally designed that way. Even after all the “Blackmore”.mods the cleans are still there, I recorded a test some time ago, send me your email address and I’ll send it to you. Thanks! 🎸🎸🎸
@@mgalbu Will do in a few minutes.
I find the main riff very difficult to nail down. Great job here!
Thanks! The key is using the thumb like Blackmore did :)
@@mgalbu I do! Got Man on the silver mountain nailed, Burn too but this riff from getting the rhythm right is difficult...
Great dedication, research and playing! I am researching Blackmore's monster tone on the live Rainbow On Stage album. Would this similar signal chain be effective in reproducing that tone as well? I am curious about the effect of the Aiwa preamp pedal - is it more of a clean boost, and how does it colour the guitar tone? Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Yes, as with Deep Purple, he pretty much used the same setup live and in the studio with Rainbow. From '73 it was basically a modified Marshall Major with a modified AIWA preamp plus the Schulte Compact Phasing unit for specific songs and passages.
The TP-1011 is not a clean boost, it adds a lot of character to the sound. To the point of being the defining factor between Blackmore's Deep Purple MK2 sound and his very different MK3/Rainbow tone. Amp (and I suspect cabs too) remained the same all through most of the 69/77 period, with the actual differences in sound between both eras being the use of either the modified Hornby Skewes booster or the AIWA preamp. It's really that simple :)
In short, from his early days Blackmore kept a very straightforward setup that could accomodate his live and studio work without too many complications. Let me know if I can be of help in your research! Cheers, M.
@@mgalbu You are the person that I have been looking for - someone who has delved down to this much detail and research over Blackmore's magical tones! Thank you so much!!! And even better that you play his solos with the utmost faithfulness and flair! This is my favourite era of the Blackmore tone czcams.com/video/ZFMQr3qyR0k/video.html - seems his live tone in this era is a tad brighter/(more overdriven as well?) and more scooped compared to the studio recordings - perfect to complement his huge stage presence.
@@KauffeyBean Thanks again for your kind words! I love the Munich ‘77 tone too. I think the differences with his studio sound are likely to be related to the different recording conditions. I’ll try and make a sound sample with his live sound in a future video, it’s an interesting subject! 🎸🎸🎸
@@mgalbu Yes please! And thank you for the wealth of precious information!
Wow, you got it, bro. Are you sure that you? Lol
Thanks! 😃
Hey there ! Whats that Amp Chassis in the background? Do you build Amps? Astonishing playing !
Hi! Thanks so much! Yes, I build a 100W version of the Major that has my take on the mods that Blackmore did to his. I’m using the amp in the chassis for this video 🎸🎸🎸
Are you using the Migas Touch '75s for this video?
Hi Andy, no, these are still the Fender CS69s. A200 and Lay Down Stay Down are the ‘75s.
what kind of capacitor do you use on tone pot? 0,1uf, 0,05uf or 0,022uf?
It’s a 0,1uf but I always have the tone controls on 10, meaning the capacitor is bypassed. It doesn’t make a difference in sound. Cheers, M. 🎸🎸
Yo quiero un Major construído por ti! De qué país eres?
Thanks! I'm in the US
@@mgalbu cuánto vale el amplificador? Con todas las modificaciones? Necesito saber cuánto dinero tengo que juntar como meta 😬?
Hi! I’m interested in the TP1011 pedal. How do I get in touch?
Hi, thanks! Gmail me at mgalbusera285. Cheers, Max
А для чего Ричи использовал магнитофон aiwa?
As a preamp, or booster. Cheers, M.
What String gauge are you using?
10-11-14-26-36-42 I order the strings separately since there's no set with these exact gauges. More importantly, strings must be pure nickel wrap, like they used to have back in those days. Makes a huge difference in sound and feel when compared to modern nickel wound construction strings.
@@mgalbu can you link the string packs? I really don’t know much about gauges.
Is there a European supplier of this pedal ? Living in the UK with the (outrageous) customs and carriage and tax it'd cost me around $355.
I’m afraid not, I make each one to order. I can declare a lower value if that helps. Let me know! Cheers, Max
@@mgalbu I'll contact you on your Reverb site so as to avoid cluttering these pages!
@@digitalchris6681 Cool, you can also write to me directly at mgalbusera285 at gmail 👍🏻
