Deep Purple Hard Rock

Burn - Famous Riffs

"Burn" by Deep Purple is one of the most iconic riffs in hard rock history, showcasing the band's signature blend of heavy guitar and classical influences. Deep Purple, formed in London in 1968, were pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock alongside Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Learning the famous riff from "Burn" is a rite of passage for electric guitarists, offering a masterclass in driving rhythm, powerful tone, and the raw energy that defined early 1970s British hard rock.

  • Deep Purple were listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as the world's loudest band.
  • The 'Burn' riff is built around a distinctive minor-key pattern that blends blues and classical influences.
  • Deep Purple are considered pioneers of heavy metal, shifting to a heavier sound with their 1970 album Deep Purple in Rock.
