That's one of those things Yngwie won't deny. But it's not really taken from Blackmore per se, as it appears in material from Bach onwards, varying only in degree of prominence.
Nonetheless, Ritchie is certainly a true original.
if you have a look at classical music, you'll find most metal has huge resemblance (musically) in terms of riffs and progressions. thats why S&M went so well
