All time classic rock tune to learn on the guitar. Our son was learning to play years ago, and invited a friend (steve)over to help. They were upstairs playing while my wife and I sat downstairs in the living room reading, when I caught the faint sound of Smoke on the Water (they were not plugged in). So putting my book aside I went upstairs to see how things were going. Steve imediately oppologized for the interuption, I asked them if the amps worked. Yes, but Steve was not allowed to play plugged in at home. I told him I grew up in a house-hold where a band practiced in the basement every weekend, plug in, crank it up, and play it. I went back downstairs to read, Man that is such a great guitar only song!

In my youth, I lived within 8 miles of the Ontario Motor Speedway. We could hear the concert from our farm and many of my buddies attended Cal Jam II. Basil thanks for bring back a forgotten memory.
