It’s also interesting to note that Ritchie Blackmore played this lick without using a pick, so he played it with his fingers. Watch me play it, and also watch the original, to really get a feel for it. The most important part of learning this intro is getting the rhythm and timing right. You’ll need to get used to it at first, but it’ll become easy with practice. If you’re not familiar with double stops, the technique refers to playing 2 strings at the same time. So we’ll start out with the ever-popular intro riff, which consists of 4 double stops. If you are at the level where you can already play that solo, then you probably won’t even need to be watching this lesson anyhow.
You’ll also hear a long solo in the original recording, but we won’t be learning that in this lesson, since this is meant to be a beginner’s tutorial. You can play it on the acoustic as well, but you won’t get that distorted rock feel unfortunatelyīesides the intro riff, our guitar lesson on Smoke on the Water will also teach you how to play the verse, and the chorus, both of which are simple. Oh, sorry acoustic guitarists, but this song isn’t really suitable for the acoustic. It’s one of those riffs you can show off to people after playing guitar for about 1 week 🙂 If you are into the electric guitar and are a beginner, you’ll love this riff: it’s easy, quick, sounds great, and everyone will know it. The intro riff to Smoke on the Water is most likely one of the first riffs 90% of guitarists learn to play. With our guitar tutorial on Smoke on the Water, you will learn these guitar skills:
