Smoke on the Water guitar solo │Sean Boothe

Me playing another classic guitar solo by the legendary Ritchie Blackmore. Backing track also by me. Please see half speed version if you want to learn it!

Wait... Smoke on the water has more than just that riff?

[AdvancedMarketingGro]

You had me fooled for a second, I thought the backing track was the original for a second. Great cover! Well done!

This is one of the most deceptively difficult solo ever, and this is the first video I found that gets it exactly right!

[AsTheSeasonsGray]

I think you're the only person on youtube who actually changed to the bridge pickup for that last descending bit. Thank you; it sounds so much better this way.

[generalkenobi]

Umm. This is not the smoke on the water solo. I'm afraid you're mistaken, good sir. The actual solo is only 3 notes long.

[shahidshahzad]

one of the best solos ever in the history rock music

[grahamblack]

Damn that was good!! This song is iconic for the riff, but the solo is a total classic and you played it beautifully.

[duanegreene]

This guy nailed it. You want those clear tones and authenticity in a cover of the solo IMO. Good job!

[guybossyns]

wow the best on the net !..verry clean playing !!

[willyanjs]

This is, by now, my favorite rock solo! I mean "by now" because, I don't know if it happens to you, but, from times to times, my taste for music changes... But anyway, this solo is fantastic!

[chocodiledundee]

The level of taste of Ritchie Blackmore is from another real .... I’ve heard this song almost every day for the past 40 years and I still get high listening to this solo .... well done you play on different places that I do but sounds awesome

[williammorris]

That was absolutely brilliant! The feel of this solo is much harder to get than it looks, but you nailed it!

[fenylmecc]

since this song is known for it's riff, the solo is underrated. but I love the solo so much

[rubinprince]

it's fun to think that this very song started many peoples guitar adventure and that there is such a cool solo to it that u can learn when u have become better, this song is so good bc of this it's like milestones in a song.

[kevinkinnu]

One of the best guitar solos ever played perfectly

[Keeping-It-Real-]

Good job man, I've been playing for a little over a year. And I can see my weakness's in the song when I watch your timing, bends, vibrato. I can play right along but my stops and vibrato show my inexperience. Makes me want to work harder!!!!

[fightBfree]

wow, perfect tone perfect execution bravo

[vrstovsek]

And that's how it's played. Very good!

[Allguitarinfo]

My man..Solid ...love it. Millions of people probably play that riff but I bet you not many have taken the time to learn the lead part and it's one of the baddest coolest guitar solos ever well done dude

[Kuhlyedascope]

awesome job dude these videos are really helpful for experience players trying to get nail certain licks thanx
