Catch The Rainbow "3 ways"


"Catch The Rainbow 3 ways" by Deep Purple is a guitar-focused piece that offers players three distinct approaches to the same material, making it a versatile study tool for electric guitarists. Exploring different techniques, tones, or arrangements within a single song helps players broaden their vocabulary and adaptability on the instrument. Its multi-version format makes it particularly valuable for intermediate players looking to expand beyond a single fixed interpretation.

  • Learning a song three different ways builds fretboard flexibility and reinforces how small changes in approach affect tone and feel.
  • Deep Purple are known for blending hard rock riffs with melodic phrasing, offering guitarists a range of techniques to explore.
  • Practicing multiple versions of the same song is an effective method for internalizing chord shapes, scales, and dynamics simultaneously.

The most iconic electric guitar ever made. Its three single-coil pickups, contoured body and versatile tone make it the go-to for blues, rock, funk and everything in between. Players from Hendrix to Gilmour to Clapton built their sound on it.

Marshall JCM800
Amp

Marshall JCM800

The definitive rock amp of the 1980s. The JCM800's single-channel, all-tube design produces a natural, harmonically rich overdrive at high volumes. Every hard rock and metal guitar sound from that era ran through one of these.

Pedal

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah

The most recognised wah pedal on the planet. The Cry Baby's vocal frequency sweep gave Hendrix, Clapton and Kirk Hammett their signature lead voices. Rock, funk, metal - no pedalboard is complete without one.
