Which famous rock guitarist is in the picture?

Richard Hugh Blackmore (born 14 April 1945) is an English guitarist and songwriter. He was one of the founding members of Deep Purple in 1968, playing jam-style hard rock music that mixed guitar riffs and organ sounds. Blackmore is prolific in creating guitar riffs and is often noted for his classically influenced solos.

Blackmore quit the Deep Purple to front a new group, Rainbow. The band's debut album, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, was released in 1975.

In 1997 Blackmore, with his girlfriend Candice Night as vocalist, formed the traditional folk rock group Blackmore's Night. From about 1995, they were already working on their debut album Shadow of the Moon (1997).

In subsequent albums, particularly Fires at Midnight (2001) which featured the Bob Dylan cover "The Times They Are a Changin'," there was occasionally an increased incorporation of electric guitar into the music, whilst maintaining a folk rock direction. A live album, Past Times with Good Company was released in 2002. After the next studio album's release, an official compilation album Beyond the Sunset: The Romantic Collection was released in 2004, featuring music from the four studio albums. A Christmas-themed holiday album, Winter Carols was released in 2006. Through numerous personnel changes, the backing musicians have totalled 26 persons.
