I have an article about Ritchie Blackmore. In that article, I mention this very song.

For all the jokes about it, very few people can actually play the song properly and completely.

Really? Its like the most common guitar riff I've ever heard, how do you play it properly?

Scroll down... It gets delightfully complicated.

Blackmore would be what I call the father, or close to it, of neo-classical metal.

Well that looks wonderfully complicated. I think it'll be fun to play eventually.
