You're the only person that I'm seeing play the F power cord or Peggio in the courses backwards and I can't tell what's going on because there's so much happening in the song but I've looked at numerous other lessons and even Rick Beato video on the song where he plays along and he does it the way everyone else is doing it and I don't think anyone has a better ear than him but I'm really intrigued by what you are teaching here is correct? EDIT: I just found the isolated guitar track and he's playing at the normal way from the top down not the bottom up on that F major.

[@sjdanthem]

Terrific. I never learned anything but the main riff and I wasn't doing that quite right even.

[@JawTooth]

Awesome!

[@martintorrez25]

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

[@HowardFrischer]

hes so right i know the main riff for the past 33 years and nothing else. hahaha rock-on

[@albert2395]

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.

[@derrickleehenry5974]

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!

[@dstp8418]

I so agree!

[@cowboy7x]

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

[@MAXIMUSMINIMALIST]

Are you serious? There's tons of videos that get it right.

[@cowboy7x]

​@@MAXIMUSMINIMALIST Did you NOT read my comment? Try to comprehended. "SO FAR" and "That I've seen". I didn't watch "TONS". I watched a 'FEW'. Why would I need to watch 'TONS' when I watched a few and felt Justin got it right?

[@burnsZY85]

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

[@pieterprinsloo007]

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

[@KomboAndy]

Wasn't it Beethovens 5th but inverted?

[@suzidownunder]

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

[@clamdigr]

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!!!

[@piotrbalmusic]

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

[@Tommyr]

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

[@moodies72]

perfect for beginners thank you that´s fun

[@rayericphillips]

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

[@MrRontac]

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

[@stevedavis9891]

He shows the entire song, most helpful! Thank you, sir.

[@farmanthor3770]

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

[@osirissalgado6689]

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

[@andrewbeetham6506]

I can do the intro on a acoustic guitar

[@fxftube7949]

Shane 😂😂 epic

[@aldrinthomas4746]

same

[@felixgutierrez993]

👀 I can't TOO HARD

[@westerling8436]

i can make you whistle the tune

[@wailnshred]

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

[@Rick_Cleland]

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

[@stevesmith2514]

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

[@awildsiscoappears1054]

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

[@bigoldnoob]

I was looking for a tutorial, for a couple test we're having home with the wife and kids. Clearest tutorial. Thanks so much sir!

[@MichaelSpratling]

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!

[@thrashheadbanger3056]

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

[@downhill240]

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

[@linodonofrio4214]

Sei un grande Justin!

[@michaelanzelino5068]

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.

[@ibanezguitars4021]

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

[@g4ndalfthegreen01]

Dude your voice is amazing!

[@pw8548]

Thank you Justin ! :)

[@cat416ify]

Thanks Justin. I finally know the whole song.

[@djrtc1]

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.

[@esugumshoe]

Tremendous lesson as always!

[@tikintbomb8194]

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

[@goingbonzo5923]

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

[@Numlocq]

"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.

[@noraadalla]

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

[@sudinstevevai]

Greatest Rock guitar Riff ever!!!

[@mariacorreynamarimutoc9178]

[@jbix909]

Thank you for including the verse riffs.

[@hansbeeksma1841]

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

[@adriankilbourne2163]

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

[@JawTooth]

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.

[@Metalingots]

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. 😉

[@snowbunny1001]

Excellent Lesson!!! 8). Thank you!

[@bruderwurst3493]

Great lesson. Thanks Justin!

[@garyhubbard1973]

[@bushidowarrior4917]

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

[@Steggman]

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

[@manxcats59]

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

[@Moserju]

Hi Justin, great job, thanks for the video!

[@Cickstart]

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.

[@tocadolly2197]

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.

[@superdudeadrian]

Thanks man! Finally learned the song properly

[@asansone57]

well done!

[@JnWayn]

Wow, that count tripped me up but very nicely done

[@brimone1982]

Great, as usual.

[@My.Guitar.Journey]

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

[@sheepflockfilms4517]

I love the sound of that guitar

[@sunwestdata]

best lesson on youtube!!!!

[@jeffblack5435]

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

[@chocobo2743]

great playing and singing! :D

[@Urankar3]

Bravo Justin**************

[@hamidsamadani9382]

Nice. Thanks for showing the verse and chorus. Beautiful guitar. Is that a divot on your 4th ftet.

[@ritchievernon8099]

Very nice singing voice to I might add! 🙏😊🎆

[@Scrufflebag]

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.

[@TheJmccready]

God you can play that, Well done

[@mikemccormick2271]

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

[@MAXIMUSMINIMALIST]

That riff you're showing in the chorus is the bass line. The guitar just hits 2 sustained G power chords. It's a great way to play it though because it spices it up. Also there's an extra note added to the arpeggio towards the end of the last chorus and the outro is alternating between the 3 & 5 fret power chords on the A string a variation of the main riff. Dotti brothers video shows it well.

[@smikemc]

Excellent as always.

[@kingofgodsandgunsking4491]

I'm thinking to do this in high school! Wish me luck!

[@soulmonkey74]

Mitico Giustino!

[@rogers531]

I'm getting it... Keep practisin'

[@ppavlovic38]

Justin you rock regards from Serbia. :)

[@CROSSFIRE19604]

Thanks great tutorial! Classic song!

[@nazaharin]

Amazing. Good technique. Thanks.

[@anuragtiwary]

Justin teachs way better than marty.

[@dougtull4594]

Marty's great, too, but I understand Justin more readily.

[@VarynDEE33t]

There both great, but I feel like Justin’s lessons are more accurate

[@MAXIMUSMINIMALIST]

I like Carl Brown at guitar lessons 365 but I just looked at Marty's lesson for this song and it's terrible he does the opening riff and uses half the guitar neck when even as a beginner I can see in the comments of other videos that he is doing it wrong I don't know why he has more subscribers and views every time I click one of his videos I don't like it at all.

[@braydensnyder7252]

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

[@MichaelCaliri]

Great as always!!

[@terrygore115]

Awesome!

[@autocrow]

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.

[@stevereisdorfer8835]

Great teacher! Easy to learn from a great guitar player that is humble - Thanks!

[@stanley535]

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

[@ayachatskaya7563]

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

[@carloslaffitte4321]

So fire

[@amirulashraafcasa3958]

Always the best 👍

[@TheMikaFreaka]

I appreciate this! Perfect for a newbie!

[@andys9337]

Very good!!!

[@pjmoreau]

very well done! thx

[@ahitcher]

Thanks mate!

[@satchfan2010]

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