Anyway here it is in its glorious entirety, love to see some other Blackmore stuff up here (hint, hint). P.S. Never, ever play this in a guitar store! P.P.S. Remember to finger pick the riff, Blackmore is said to be pissed off that everyone plays it as chords. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smoke on The Water - Deep Purple (Blackmore - Gillan - Glover - Lord - Paice) >From - Guitar For The Practicing Musician - December 1990 Key - Rythym Symbols (above the bar): Q - Quarter note E - Eighth note etc. g - Grace notes . - Dotted note - - Tied note xR - Rest of duration x Notes grouped within square brackets with a three above are played as triplets.
