    • ]]>     Released by Deep Purple in 1972, the classic song, “Smoke on the Water” can be found on their album entitled Machine Head.

    When the song was originally recorded, the band did not think it would be a hit. It was not until it was released in the United States as a single, a full year after the album was released, that it became popular.

    According to a report in the London Times newspaper, Ritchie Blackmore was not very comfortable when he presented the song to his fellow band members because it was such a simple tune for a guitarist with his skills to come up with.

    At the end of this post I’ve also included a backing track that you can use to jam along with. A fairly easy song to learn. Enjoy!
