Best Smoke on the Water solo tutorial out there. You included the subtleties that define Blackmore's magic - sounds good, sounds right.

I ABSOLUTELY love how the pickguard on your guitar merges with the green screen, what a vivid scene

[joe]

The green pickguard picking up the greenscreen effect was added greatness!

Great tone and great lesson as well Sir! I am a Strat lover and green is my fav so your special Strat is a beautiful thing to me. Thank you for taking the time to zero in on the correct dynamics and phrasings of these classic solo's and sharing with us. At 60 I'm really enjoying these and my wife is like"how are you learning these so quickly all of a sudden, did you make a deal with the devil?". Haha!

First off I want to thank you for that. Second aside from being a very gifted guitarist you also are a brilliant teacher. I'm a novice guitarist but when I try to learn for me what seems like a complex solo even if I don't get it I find I learn many things along the way. I bought that album back in 73. That was my first 33. Thanks again brother.

Omg, hope you make more of these, they are awesome!

[tomflynn]

Dude, you play the solo better than anyone I've heard! Excellent!

[speedotto]

You have done a stellar job on this. It is rare when a lesson talks about the importance of individual notes length of play etc. very good. it really helps

I know this is an old video. But let me tell you. This is my absolute favorite guitar lesson channel

[BryanEddy]

A great lead should be able to be sung...this one is forever.

[Donn]

AHA! I knew you got the green pickguard so you could key it out and add clouds and flames! Awesome looking vid Dave. Top notch playing too.... So many riffs I used to know... Thanks for the lesson bro \m/

[jfljfl]

Great job. Great tuto easy to catch and follow👍

[wannapg]

Very good lesson! You're very accurate with his lead. You nailed it note for note.

[siralleycat]

Thank you. Unlike some other videos, your tab is raised slightly so when you hit pause to practice it, you can still see it. Nice job.

[spidgeb]

Really good lesson. The instruction on the technique nuance is very helpful, including the "how to do this without a whammy bar" tip. You're a great teacher and player. Many thinks!

[dickdastardly]

Freak you should start a class on how to make a guitar lesson video THE RIGHT WAY for almost every other YouTuber who does guitar lessons on here. Seriously your video lessons are straight forward and to the point and clearly explained WITHOUT all the unnecessary B.S and showing off by showing a particular part then for no reason whatsoever start doing some blazing fast scale or pentatonic run or fiddle fruck with a out of tune guitar 10 times in the video.

[rlogue]

I am liking the heck out of that Strat! Nice guitar and video!

great job this is one of the very best solos of all time !

[ADIKTIVESOUNDS]

Way to go Davey. Nice lesson.
Love the sound.

[jbastin]

Such a Killer Solo...Thank you so much PDX Man !!!
