I've known both guitarists for a long time. However, now I've decided to study them closer. I've listened to several songs by both, but I am no expert yet. What I would like is, a couple of people to write a few sentences about Page and Blackmore's respective styles and trademarks. Also, you could include it if there are any special song which pretty much sums up their style.
Well, basically, tell me a little about how they differ from each other.

I can't wait to start buying their albums!

- Oh, and by the way, I've got a version of Smoke on the water, but when I heard the song on the radio, the solo was different... longer? Are there several versions of this song? I think I preferred the song with the longer solo. And no, I don't think any of the versions was live.
