Well, now I know I'm not the only one who's frustrated with all the BAD/wrong tablature out there! Funny you should mention the solo. That's what I'm working on now. I actually found a really GOOD, accurate tutorial and tabs for that, after a bit of searching. And this video by Justin is the best one on KZread for the basic riff and rhythm guitar parts. I'm about to send out a link to this, for all my Rock 101 students.

That's not the Richie does but the patters the same diffirent key.

I think that Justin beats most other tutors, with his timing and counting the beats!😊 You can know the chords, individual notes, etc. But if the timing is off, it won't sound right.

I like how you perform the song before you teach it. I believe it really helps with the lesson on listening to how it supposed to sound. Ace job!

I so agree!

"Probably the most played guitar riff of all time" I think what you mean to say is "The most commonly incorrectly played riff of all time" FYI - This is 100% the correct way to play it.

So far, the only teacher that I've seen on youtube that actually has it right! Good job Justin!

My friend in Cannock was a plumbers assistant and an amazing guitar player. His school friend was Ritchie Blackmore. He taught Ritchie how to play guitar. Now I'm in a band and Im learning this number. Great tutorial

My first guitar lesson was in 1980, the instructor asked me what I'd like to learn, "Eruption", I said. His reply? "Hmmmmm, how about Smoke on the Water for now". Forty years later I've decided to play the rest of the song, and thanks to this video, found a better way to play the main riff too. Thank you!!!

This is the only'how to' version that sounds like the real thing. Well done Justin

perfect for beginners thank you that´s fun

Dude, you are a legend, every song I’ve learnt on your channel get the pubs rocking, and your versions are accurate. First time Blackmore was recorded on tv playing this he played with his back to the audience...as if to hide what he was playing. Apparently he experimented with Bach when he stumbled across this

Wasn't it Beethovens 5th but inverted?

Its refreshing to see this song being played the right way. :) How about doing highway star?

@9:36 I've been playing for Years (even with my fingers) and that's something I almost find impossible to do.

Justin .. I enjoy your videos so much .. I`ve learned Sultans Of Swing and now Smoke On The Water ... You have a great teaching ability and talent ... many thanks

THANK YOU!!!! for going beyond just the main riff.

I can do the intro on a acoustic guitar

If you can do it on one kind of guitar, you can do it on the other.

How can 3 people thumb this down??? He's the best teacher on the web IMHO.

As I was commenting on people giving up you addressed the issue. My grandson who was learning guitar I tried starting him on this song so I taught him the opening chords. He kind of got it down, and seemed really interested in continuing. I went, and bought him a 25 watt Fender combo amp, and gave him one of my guitars a Schecter with Zakk Wilde EMG pickups. One week later, he quit, because girl's became more interesting to him. I'm thinking about arm wrestling him, and winner gets to own the guitar, and amp. 😉

Awesome lesson. After all these years, I finally learned the whole song. Thank you.

Dude, you done hooked me up again... you are so right... that's probably the first song I learned how to play 45 years ago but only got the main riff... thank you for all you do!

I totally agree with how all techniques will "rub off" on your playing. Great lesson Justin!

Man Ritchie is an awsome guitar player.And Justin is an awsome teacher.Because of Ritchie I learned how to play fourths.

Always a good place to learn a song. Accurate, and fun to play. And Justin always gives good advice on futher listening. He leaves others in the dust.

I've watched a ton of your videos, and only this song shows you have a beautiful singing voice

my youngest student wants to play this seems I've been doing it wrong for ages.. Thanks!!!.

Me too. Every time I see a how to video for guitar I always find out there were a few notes that I didn't do right. I started way before there was an internet.

WOW The best Person in the world plays the best riff in the world!!! You'r great Justin...

I'm thinking about starting a band and just playing Smoke on the Water - repeatedly. I think it'll go over big! World Tours - The "Smoke" Tour - etc.

At our local music store, there was a note in the practise booth saying if you played that riff, you owed the employees a crate of beers :)

this guy knows how to teach the song the right way!!

thank you!!! now i know what i was doing wrong!! lol...btw .. like that base thing too.....some times i just hate being a beginner.

Thanks Justin. I finally know the whole song.

I had read years ago that Ritchie Blackmore used a Gibson to record SOTW for the studio version. Cool you used one to! Thanks for the lesson.

I noticed your fret board is seriously grooved dude. love touch!

Greatest Rock guitar Riff ever!!!

I just saw a lesson with Steve Morse explaining how to play this riff the ''right' way. He played it exactly like Justin!

loved it thank you so much.you are an incredible teacher your video was truly the only one i could understand

Thanks Justin

Just a tip for anyone curious if you use your thumb to play the bass it's a good alternative

Dude your voice is amazing!

Thanks for this lesson sir. The merits goes to you.

best on the tube nice mate

Thank you for including the verse riffs.

Hey, I was wondering if someone could tab out the second riff for me (the one that starts at 7:30), just having a little trouble understanding that part, thanks

Hey Justin - are those frets scalloped or something? The second, fourth, and sixth frets seem to have a deep impression between the 1st and 2nd, and 3rd and 4th strings.

Yeah I noticed that too, they look like indentations.

Hope you don't mind me saying but it would have been helpful showing your right hand technique on the added bass part at the end.. that said great lesson as always.. I have learnt more from you then anyone else Ty.

THANK YOU.. THANK YOU.... THANK YOU !!!

The Bass trick is awesome. (Im just starting out so this'll be a nice one to learn).

Thank you so much, i think that your video is the best on KZread not just for people that can Play guitar but also for begginer like me

Just out of curiosity and to try to figure out how to sing the vocals and fit in..as you said said it was G power chord x5 down F power chord x1 played up.. incidentally yours is the only one I found that used that technique ..it isn't always x5 .. because you can't fit in the vocals sometimes it's played x8..G..then x1 F..that's what I found anyway..but again Ty yours is way ahead of six other videos Inc Sage..and even your pal Marty..sorry Marty.. between the pair of you I at 65 yes am now on stage at my open mic ..with bands playing my own compositions..plus covers Inc this..so massive ty..take a bow guys..

thanks Justin

I love the sound of that guitar

I like this lesson. It seems to be the only legit one out there!

As soon as you learn the 1st riff, be sure to go down to the local guitar store and play it for everyone there.

Great, as usual.

Just watched a live clip of this song. Flicked this lesson on and it's in a different tuning.

Great video Justin. Thanks! I just got my first electric guitar, so of course I have to learn this song. The first time it felt so difficult. But it becomes easier quite fast.

your amazing. i just got a new electric guitar yesterday. but i dont think i can ever be as great as you

Thanks man! Finally learned the song properly

Your very descriptive and easy to follow. Thx for the lesson.

hey Justin, how bout some amp setting tips?thanks for all your lessons!

well done!

Thank you Justin ! :)

очень понравилось. Спасибо за разбор. Couldn't find Russian version how to play it. Thank you =)

Amazing. Good technique. Thanks.

Nice lesson . I have been wanting to learn the main song structure for years. Ace lesson as usual .

That was fun. Thank you Justin 😊

It would be nice to see your picking hand. Do you pick up on the F chord? I got a huge blister on my RH ring finger. lol. This is the best lesson for the song I have found.

Tremendous lesson as always!

I'm getting it... Keep practisin'

Thanks Justin. Great teacher keep up the good work .Thanks for taking the time to teach us this song and the many others.

просто русский коментарий.продолжайте.

One has to have a vast repitoir of jazz chord progressions consisting of sus5s and aug5s, get a degree in Jazz Improvization, and be able to playe every western instrument just to understand the first note of smoke on the water

Another great lesson from a top tutor keep it up justin !!!!!!

Good on you Justin, your a bloody legend mate.

Great lesson. Thanks Justin!

best lesson on youtube!!!!

great playing and singing! :D

The guitar is mostly left and J's voice is almost exclusively right in order to hear him talk/sing a bit more easily.

Hey Justin, great lesson. Thanks! I'm gonna try it.

This is the third video in a row on how to play this song. Every one shows different frets strings and techniques. How is that even possible. All three sound the same too

my hero

Awesome thanks. And how do you play the chord progression when the solo starts?

Wow, that count tripped me up but very nicely done

Justin you rock regards from Serbia. :)

What a wonderful tutorial, Thank you Justin : I have subbscribed now !!

Hey Justin, how about you play this song using power chords? Like the main riff: G major, B flat major, C major G major, B flat major, C sharp major, C major G major, B flat major, C major B flat major, G major What's your thought about that?

@OdaKa

Bad and wrong and harder than the proper way to do it

Wish it would also show how to use the plucking hand to play two strings at a time ;)

Sei un grande Justin!

people dont realize how hard the actual bass guitar is for this song, try learning it for a real challenge. after trying to learn the bass for this and the song "lazy" that guy is so underrated.

Omw to a nearest guitar store!

Thanks great tutorial! Classic song!

God you can play that, Well done

thanks Justin!

Thanks! A very good teaching skills!

Gut rübergebracht...
