    I thought you were serious. I really love Blackmore's playing on the
first
couple of DP LP's. Again, it could be his vibrato that hooked me. A perfect
example is the DP song Lazy, he's got incredible touch and vibrato much like
Jeff Beck(Richard Lloyd's main influence by the way). It's very simple to
compare, you compare vocalists, drummers, cars, sexes, wines, why not
guitarists?
