  • so that`s where they all learned it from !

  • But can he play smoke on the water?

  • Like Blackmore's version better.

  • @MrHellcatos I'm sorry then ;)

  • @DarthGoofy I am kidding dude xD

  • @MrHellcatos You obviously know nothing about this man.

  • someone teach him how to play it please :P

  • Yall gotta remember on recent concerts of Deep Purple, Steve travels with them...he started playing with them in 1994. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him and his wanting to take the time to show future generations of guitarists a base starting point. Everyone has their own unique sound..but I give him alot of credit.

  • Sure, it's debatable whether you can call this the "right" way to play the song, but this is in fact the ORIGINAL way to play it. Although I believe Ritchie used less or no vibrato.

  • this riff needs no vibrato
