[D]
[G]
[A] Hi, today I'm going to teach you a little bit about Smoke on [Ab] the Water, the famous riff,
but on guitar.
The actual riff is done on a bass, [G] or you can do it with the guitar on
two [A] strings, but I'm going to show you an easy bass line on guitar for the riff.
[B] Okay?
You start off with [E] an open 6th string, okay?
[B] Then on the 3rd fret, it's all on the 6th
string, okay?
On the [G] 3rd fret, nice.
And then you go to the 5th fret, [A] [Em] okay?
So from here,
[A] [E] okay?
And then it's open again, then to the [B] 6th, sorry, then to the 3rd, so [G] then to the
6th fret, [Bb] then back to the 5th, [Am] and then [Em] open, okay?
So from there it is, okay?
And then
[A] back on the 3rd [G] fret, then 5th, [A] [G] then 3rd, and then open, [Em] and that's it, okay?
So, [B] quite
all together, it's like this,
[Em] [A] [Em] okay?
Sometimes I like to do an extra one at the end of an
open, so it sounds like this.
[A] [Em] And that's basically it [B] for the riff of Smoke On The [E] Water.
