This easy guitar lesson teaches children to play Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. This is a great song for children to learn as the song is so distinctive. When the song is played back to kids they can really recognise the song with what they are playing and this motivates the child and increases their enthusiasm.

This song is ideally suited for beginner guitarists. The song is played initially on one string and the moves the student on to playing over two strings.
What I love about the song is that it begins to encourage and teach timing. This is vital to learning and playing the guitar. Timing is something that the student will take with them throughout their guitar journey.
I have recorded this guitar lesson on an acoustic guitar but it can easily be played on an electric guitar so play with either. If you are learning with an electric guitar try adding some distortion to the song to give it that extra kick!
