| | | | Rolling Stone's List of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time: Encyclopedia II - Ritchie Blackmore - The First Deep Purple Years 1968-1975 He co-founded the hard rock group Deep Purple in 1968 with Rod Evans (vocals), Nick Simper (bass), Jon Lord (keyboards), and Ian Paice (drums).

The band's next studio album, "In Rock," revolutionized the band's sound, turning it in an uncompromisingly hard rock direction. Blackmore's dramatic guitar riffs, Jon Lord's classically inspired, high-p ...

| | | | Rolling Stone's List of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time: Encyclopedia II - Jerry Garcia - Career with the Grateful Dead On the Grateful Dead’s first, self-titled LP (released in March 1967), Jerry’s guitar work displayed the speed of the fingers of his left hand and also a great deal of musical energy, but it was also clear that he had not yet developed a broad range of guitar-playing concepts.
