This will “transpose” the riff into a different key and give you some practice playing on different strings.
This will help you play it so it doesn’t sound like random notes. Look up “Smoke on the Water – Deep Purple” and have a listen so you can become familiar with the riff.
The actual song is played in a different key and utilizes 2 strings at the same time so this is a beginner version. To start off, we’re going to learn this song as a “bass line” or a “single-note riff” on the guitar. We’re going to stay true to that tradition and get you having some fun right off the bat! It’s also known as “the first song you learn on guitar”. The famous riff was played on a Fender Stratocaster by guitar legend, Ritchie Blackmore. “Smoke on the Water” was written and released by Deep Purple in 1972. Smoke On The Water – A Great “First Riff” For A Beginner Guitar Player The last note, pictured with the open center, means it gets 2 beats, completing the bar. The time signature, found on the left, is 4/4, so each black note gets one beat.
Here’s an example of the C Major scale written out in tab with accompanying musical notation. This takes tab a step closer to being “perfect” because a person that has the ability to read music can be hugely assisted with the rhythmic placement of the notes.

In professional music publications, and in the back of guitar magazines, you will often see notes or rhythmic notation in conjunction with tab. (Many beginners are inclined to only use 1 finger for riffs)Ĭaption: Tab may be written as if you’re holding your guitar “upside down and backwards”! Try to find the most “economical” way to place your fingers when reading tab so you utilize ALL your necessary fingers. Tab does not show you which fingers to use – You have to use common sense and your best judgement when placing your fingers on the guitar.The numbers tell you exactly where to put your fingers! The numbers don’t have anything to do with your fingers. The numbers on the lines represent the frets (The frets are the raised metal strips on the fingerboard).It may seem like you’re reading tab like your guitar is “upside down and backwards” The low E string (biggest string) is the bottom line of a tab diagram.Tab tells us the sequence of the song/riff and we read it left to right (just like reading a book!).You can think of the letter “o” for “open” “0” represents playing an open string.( E – A – D – G – B – e) – The capital letters and lowercase letters will help you know which is the “big” string and which is the “little” string.Each line represents each string (6 lines on tab – and there are 6 strings!).Tab shows you exactly what notes/frets to play and in what order to play them – it’s a very powerful tool to have as a guitarist.It’s far from perfect because most tab doesn’t show you which fingers to use or what rhythms to play – but it does tell you what notes to play and in what order!
*Tablature (or “tab” for short) – is a form of musical notation for stringed instruments.

We have a guitar that is set up, in tune, we know the names of the strings – It’s time to rock & roll! I’m going to show you a riff and we’re also going to learn how to read tab. Yours truly! Will Ripley (Campfire Guitar Star) It’s a super easy electric guitar song for beginners. We’re playing a single note, 1-string version of the classic Smoke On The Water by Deep Purple.
