Ok this video has restored my faith in humanity! And put a huge smile on my face. Thanks for posting it!

My son was there and Jeff is a good friend and my son's teacher!!

I was there with my Ibanez X-series. Historic!

The reason Smoke is chosen is because it's so distinctive; there's no other riff like it, and it's easy enough for a beginner to play, hence - lots of people can get together to play it. Note how it takes amusical genius to come up with something that's so simple yet no-one ever thought of before? BTW- did the Guiness record book people check that all these people could actually play it? It's not just the main riff that has to be played y'know.

i was there and that was the official cords of smoke on the water i dont know about everyone else but a lot of people only knew how to play the riff i knew how to play the whole thing

We are having a go at the world record here in Adelaide Australia on the 23rd November 2007.. and its the same song..smoke on the water.. it kicks off the Guitar Festival which is happening that weekend... I sure hope we sound as good as the people in KC. We are only allowed to have accoustic guitars tho.. Love, Peace and Harmony BluzStringer

im proud to say that i live in kc and that was wasome

so many guitars

So many guitars......so great!!!!

You had to bring your own small battery amp. I like this video the best from the others, btw, because I spotted my daughter in it. She was 8 at the time. I'm sorry now I didn't play. Even I can play THAT song! It was a lot of fun but had to be rushed out for a ballgame. Some people hung out in the parking lot and jammed. People were honking their car horns to the riff of SOTW.

AWESOME!!!

cool record!

Congrats !!! But the best score in the World is 1881 guitars playing together "Hey Joe" and other songs... We set it 1st of May 2007 in Wroclaw Guitar City - Poland during the 5th Thanks Jimi Festival - you can find an amazin' documentary video on KZread

do they do this every year? or will they do it this year in 08 i would love to go to that

they showed me!

there was kid next ot me playing behind his back

Every few years I look up this and other videos of the event looking for myself, do you know how hard it is to find yourself wearing the same white shirt that everybody else has on?..... I was in the left Outfield, but I still can't find me after all these years

Better quality anywhere?

i was man i played a black and wite electric i was on cnn

Look @ point 6:06. There is a guy rocking out on a ukulele!!!

i expected it to be louder

well...thats not what Marco Friggati of Guiness said...he said we will be in the 2009 edition. Go figure.

qba - has Voltar been portained?

at one point you can see me

4:44 looks like slash from GNR

Indeed-after all, most bands today have problems with -one- guitar.

wat row were u in i was in first row

awsome ǝldɹnd dǝǝp

I don't know why some people are saying they didn't break the world record. You can see it at the Guinness site I believe for largest ensemble and certificates were issued from Guinness. Who is going to beat it so we can get it back? Next time time I'm not going to be shy and play and won't be wearing a speedo and an Am. flag cape or Slash gear or horns or any of that silly stuff. You guys are hilarious though!!!

I think its kinda risky carrying a guitar on ur back when you know the only thing thats carring it is the strap. my friend did that once, and his Ibanez was no more.....

cool :)

you coulda discribed the guitar almost every one is in white

SOTW is also a coverd riff of a classic song, Blackmore just turned the riff into a rock riff. So that make's both of the riffs stolen :P .

I found my kiddo, Shae, at 6:00, hee hee, cute!

@Kloiterra the guy with the strange hat ? o.O ^^

Sadly, I think the only reason this sounds so smooth is because they were unplugged and all you can hear is the actual band playing. I'm not even sure all of them could really play the song, hopefully they made some kind of selection or casting to make sure they all did. Still, kinda disappointed, I was wishing to actually hear all the guitars. Not saying they'd play bad or anything, but if they were plugged it wouldn't be smooth for the simple fact sound gets delayed for players in the back.

16830 fingers playing! time for Godzilla!

thank goodness they didnt film in the back lolz

now rekord is for Los Angeles, but tomorrow wil returns to Wrocław :D

haha that's me at 3:12.

2:59

how did they prove that they were all playing. even if they were all plugged in you wouldnt be able to tell

if u combine a leather strap and some strap locks your guitar wil be just fine thats what i did my guitar never fall of my back again

@nemeckaly hmmm mot........ alotand yea we know we as americasn that we are way to fat

paranoid!!!!! or seek and destroy!!!

nope you're right, we didn't "BRAKE" the world record, we just broke the world record. There's a difference. Get your English straight or don't speak it at all.

all of them were not really playing smoke on the water, at least not correct..

Nope.

alot of fakers between them tho

meh come on they needed a bunch of guitarists, not good guitarists, in that case they couldve played something harder

Definitely, Blackmore would kill himself, if he ever watched this fraug...
