i found a lot of ways to play smoke on the water so here is some of them :


First Way:

easiest way

|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|---O-3-5--0-3-6-5--0-3-5-3-0---------------|

the second way i found out on accident but they
all sound the same though.

Way 2:


|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-----3-5-----3-6-5-----3-5-3---------------|
|---5------5---------5--------5-------------|



the next one sounds awesome with a bass acompaniment so i'll
put that in too.

way 3:


guitar:
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|--5-8-10---5-8-11-10----5-8-10-8-5---------|
|--5-8-10---5-8-11-10----5-8-10-8-5---------|
|-------------------------------------------|

bass:
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|--O-3-5---O-3-6-5----O-3-5-3-O-------------|

now if you have 3 people with guitars (1 bass and 2 electric or acustic)
you can play it this way

way 4:
guitar (1):
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|

|--5-8-10---5-8-11-10----5-8-10-8-5---------|
|-------------------------------------------|

guitar (2):
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|------3-5-----3-6-5-----3-5-3--------------|
|---5--3-5--5--3-6-5--5--3-5-3--5-----------|
|---5-------5---------5---------5-----------|

bass (3):
|-------------------------------------------|
