Hey bro, nice vid!
You got the the timing and the notes down good man.
However, a few small things that you might want to listen more closely to
to really nail it blackmore-style.
1.) The vibrato. Blackmore’s vibrato, especially on this tune, is a bit faster and even slightly off-pitch compared to yours.
2.) The small micro-bends that he does throughout. For example, in the beginning of the solo, when you bend the C (13th fret B-string) up to the D. That is suposed to be a pre-bend. Right now, you can hear the bend going up, then down. Practise playing the target note D, then right afterwards, pre-bend and hit the string, until you nail your pre-bends to perfect pitch.
3.) When you have released your prebended D down to C and then play the Bb, you’re supposed to make a very fast, 1/4 bend upon landing on that Bb, before hitting the G on the G-string.
4.) there are also some other places where you hold the notes out a bit too much, where they’re supposed to be more staccato, and stuff like that.
If you listen closely to the album-solo, you start to pick up these small details of his playing. This might seem like nitty gritty stuff, but it is in the end just these small details that makes the difference between actually mimicking his stylistic idiosyncrasies.
Don’t take this as negative feedback bro, rather as constructive criticism.I have yet to see ANYONE on YouTube actually nail this solo with all the details there, and your version is just as good as any out there atm.
