Rainbow's: Weiss Heim - Guitars101

Hey guys, i thought i would do this track as ive been pretty busy with alot of Satch covers latley

I really love this song by Blackmore, just shows once again that his very underrated as a musican and guitarist

Unfortunatley when it comes to Blackmore, ppl always refer him to Smoke on the water or Black Night, or Since you've been gone, alot of ppl don't take a listen to his finer songs

Anyway i try to stick to how Ritchie plays it the best i can, my only fault is just that i wished i had a strat to play this on, sadly it was the V-Amp and Av's custom guitar

(no single coil pickups on it).
Lol i actually get the slide out for the middle parts(as doing them normally sounds pathetic

).
Big thanks to Av , for the backing track

Hope you enjoy it

Beautifully played

You more than did Blackmore justice with this. Great track.

Is that a stock V-Amp tone?

Bahamut · 06-08-2006, 05:09 AM

Its a Brit high gain setting with the drive on, but in honesty m8 i tried my guitar with it and it sounds bland, i think its Av's custom guitar that drags it into being a respectful sound

His guitar has a brilliant sound, just a shame the neck is so bloody chunky

Thanks for listening m8

while not being real familiar with the song i thought your tone sounded good. very blackmore like to me. your playing was great and very enjoyable to listen to. you say you are using Avalon's guitar, what kind of guitar is it?

Bahamut · 06-08-2006, 05:44 AM

Its his own made guitar m8, it has a Fred and Paf Pro pickups on it, thats about much as i know, if you want the details his the man to talk bro

Thanks for listening though

**Avalon** · 06-08-2006, 06:23 AM

Excellent stuff Bro, my guitar seems to turn into a strat when you pick it up lol, you have the Man In Blacks touch

As for my Av-1, its a simular setup to a JS-2000, Fred and Paf Pro at the Bridge and Neck, fixed bridge, Spreziel locking Machine heads, styled like a Steve Morse sig guitar (Ernie Ball Musicman) except purple.
Made completely from scratch 3 years ago come november.
Other then not having a trem and slimming the neck a touch, there is nothing i'd change on it

Another Blackmore fanatic here! He's soooooooo underrated it's unbelievable...

That was nice, enjoyed it a lot, the slide part in particular was "sweet".

I´ve never heard the original, in fact I wouldn´t even associate this tune to DP, but I deffinately heard Blackmore´s playing there, way cool tune!

(like a best of Rainbow).
I really love it though, just screams classic Blackmore
