DUHN DUHN DUHN, DAH DUHN

(dun dun dun dun dun)

Here it is, the easiest-to-play and most recognizable rock and roll riff of all time: the opening riff to Smoke on the Water. Turns out, you can play it on your 3-string Open G GDG cigar box guitar with just one finger.

If you only learn one song on the cigar box guitar, it should probably be this one. In a short video, Ben “C. B. Gitty” Baker walks you through just how easy it is to play this classic rock and roll anthem.
