Below is the tab to the electric solo in "Smoke On The Water". I have put in the fingering for both hands. Feel free to experiment and change some thing if you need to. But, if you are having trouble gettng something to work for you, I would suggest working with my fingering a bit first.

I have recorded the solo along with a drum and bass track to give you an idea of what it sounds like. But, I certainly suggest you stude Richie Blackmores original recording with Deep Purple for the real deal. I have also made a video explaining how to approach the first fast lick in this solo, and put some sitll photos of critical moves in that lick below.

As always, apply all THE PRINCIPLES and all your knowledge of correct practice. Good luck.
