How to play "Smoke On The Water" in a guitar store, and NOT be kicked out :) (Video cover)

@Kasper this is so cool :slight_smile:

I’ve picked-up Smoke on The Water only last month (still consolidating Grade 2 here), and decided to give the solo a try - it did not seem thaaaat hard to begin with. Was I mistaken, LOL …

Anyways, finally yesterday I was able to train my fingers all the way to the last part, so at least I have the mechanics of the whole solo down - although I’m cheating a bit by replacing some of the more challenging bends. And as far as tempo, I can play it fairly accurate at 70-80%, but beyond that I tend to mess up the faster sections. Goas is to be AVOYP-ready in another month or so.

Anyway, LOADS of fun playing it, I think that’s the very 1st “real solo” that I managed to get under my fingers (cue the badge: achievement unlocked!)

Thanks for sharing, I’m playing it often studying your fingering and piking-up hints.
