}} "Smoke on the Water" is a song by the English rock band Deep Purple. It was first released on their 1972 album ''Machine Head''. In 2004, the song was ranked number 434 on ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time,〔 ranked number 4 in ''Total Guitar'' magazine's Greatest Guitar Riffs Ever,〔 and in March 2005, ''Q'' magazine placed "Smoke on the Water" at number 12 in its list of the 100 greatest guitar tracks.〔 ==Composition== "Smoke on the Water" is known for and recognizable by its central theme, developed by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. It is a four-note blues scale melody in G, harmonised in parallel inverted fifths. The riff, played on a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar by Blackmore, is later joined by hi-hat and distorted organ, then drums, then electric bass parts before the start of Ian Gillan's vocal. Jon Lord doubles the guitar part on a Hammond C3 organ played through a distorted Marshall amp, creating a tone very similar to that of the guitar. Blackmore usually plays the main riff using a finger pluck or occasionally a plectrum upstroke (to accentuate the tonic). The song order is intro(riff)-verse-chorus-riff-verse-chorus-riff-guitar solo-riff-verse-chorus-riff-organ solo. The first solo is performed on guitar by Ritchie Blackmore, and the second and final solo is performed on an organ by Jon Lord until the song fades out. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Smoke on the Water」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
