Cause I’m kind of like Han Solo always stroking my own wookie

But if I go to hell then I hope I burn well
I’ll spend my days with J.F.K., Marvin Gaye,

And Webster yea Emmanuel Lewis cause he’s the anti-christ

Original Deep Purple Smoke On The Water online:

Lyrics Deep Purple Smoke On The Water:
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn’t have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky, smoke on the water

They burned down the gamblin’ house,
It died with an awful sound
and Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky, smoke on the water

We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we’ll never forget
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky, smoke on the water

Master Class by Steve Vai:

• Joe Satriani – Guitar Lesson (master class)
• Angus Young (AC/DC) – Guitar Lesson

In this article is a short description of Greg’s master class. He tells about his fast playing technique: “The thing I wanna talk about is a couple of concepts I use for playing fast, mostly. And the first thing is… You probably noticed that I use my first finger to clap down two and more strings”. He explains how to play fast on guitar in easy way.
Also Greg Howe describes a pull-off technique and tells about guitar leeks. A famous guitarist tells about how he does arpeggio on guitar, guitar hammer-on and two handed tapping. Greg says very honestly and simple. And makes visitors of his master class understand that every technique needs training and seems uncomfortable at first. A very interesting information is about right way of sliding.
So, watch this video and learn more about guitars.

Anyway make the E note and then play the first open string. Do not wait that the sound should be the same (as it written on many websites and books). The sound could be a similar but not identical. What is the most important – is a frequency of the sound. If your string is not tuned – you will hear a sound as it “swims on the waves”. Guitar sound does not coincide with E note. It vibrates. We must get rid of the vibration. Try stretch or low the string. As we closer to the right note – the “waves” will become more slow (if we’ll go wrong way, then the “waves” will be frequence). And when we’ll get E note, “waves” will disappear. E note and first string will be played in unison.
Then we have to do the same with the rest of strings. You must remember this table:

To tune the second string: we play the open first string and second string at the fifth fret.
To tune the third string: we play the open second string and third string at the fourth fret.
To tune the fourth string: we play the open third string and fourth string at the fifth fret.
To tune the fifth string: we play the open fourth string and fifth string at the fifth fret.
To tune the sixth string: we play the open fifth string and sixth string at the fifth fret.

Do not forget that the third string tuning is different, and not similar with tuning of the rest strings!

I hope you understand how to tune a guitar.

Now a little about how to write and read notes.

There are a notes from the song Smoke On The Water by Deep Purple. To read them you need to know how to write each note.

Sharp and flat notes are indicated by symbols near notes (# – Sharps, b – Flats):

(Flat, Sharp and Natural)
Natural symbol cancels previous accidentals and represents the unaltered pitch of a note.

If the notes are written one above one you need to play two notes at the same time.

Respectively, if you see three notes one above one you need to play three notes at the same time. Ect.

Duration of the notes depends on how they are written:

(Whole note is the longest and Sixteenth note is the shortest)

Table with all notes of the guitar you can see on the page The table of notes on guitar fingerboard (All notes on guitar)

How to combine notes with your guitar see on this picture (click to open full image):

He worked with Mick Jagger as a lead guitarist in 1988 and as a lead guitarist of Deep Purple in 1994.
In 1996 Joe founded the band G3.

Joe Satriani guitar lesson:

Text of master class by Joe Satriani:
Satriani about Satch Boogie:
“With Satch Boogie we have a very traditional style playing guitar: lot of pushing, lot of pulling. And not to modern now but somebody other stuff is with a two handed tapping. But the other thing that’s probably a little bit more transperian about that song Satch Boogie. Is a first part here is just like a jazz swing band playing. Just like it was a saxophone’s playing. And it’s build of a regular blues progression in the key of A. But the middle section with a two handed tapping is really a completely different kind of composition. Because it uses a Pitch Axis Theory. And what I’m doing is I’m keeping one tonal centre which is A and I’m taking different chords.
That particular style of composing goes back to nineteen hundred and you wouldn’t call it new. But I suppose sticking it together with Blues & Swing and modern guitar style – then becomes, what I would call a modern hybrid.”

Satriani about Flying in Blue Dream:
“On the opposite side of it we have the song “Flying in Blue Dream” which instead of it be in one tonal centre and the keys shifting around it. I take a melody that based in a Lydian mode and whatever chord I go to – it becomes the new Lydian mode. Just the opposite of Pitch Axis – keys just move around. Your ear hears it always as it been a Pitch Axis in a key of C. But actually if you look at the piece of manuscript it’s just seems to be the same key and it’s moving over different base notes. Of course a guitar style is a lot of Hammer-On and Pull-Off sounds. Instead of picking each note, instead of playing where you pushing and pulling it like in a blues song, I’m actually… It involves Hammering and pulling on more than you picking. Together with feedback in a Lydian modes moving around it creates an entirely different effect. You know, this is particular style that I’ve been working on the last two decades. Involves understanding Blues, R&B and jazz on one hand and the other hand you have to understand Western European harmony for the last few hundred years. Understanding diatonic scales, diatonic modes, all the world of scales. We only listen to about 17 of numbers among nearly thousands of different permutations of the 12 tones that we work on. And what I’m trying to do – is put all this together.”

Satriani about Midnight:
“What I did many years ago – I wrote a piece of music that was base entirely on some chords that I like. And then I took a melody in a chords and put them into a two handed technique. But I played it more like Chopin piece where the timing would fluctuate as the song called “Midnight”. It’s not really as hard as you think. What you mentally get passed the idea that you’re not good and a strong at all and you have to find the notes everywhere. Then something else starts to work inside of you and you start to see where everything is. But I got to say there’s one thing that you need to know – when you try to explore some more difficult parts about music on the guitar – you have to know where every note is on the guitar. After that every time you look on it you see a familiar roadmap. And almost anything could be put together if you spend enough time.”

Satriani about House Full of Bullets:
“This one has a special little trick. I took a normal suspension resolution that exists on the top part of your chords. And I decided to write a chord progression where that never happened but I put it (and it’s necessary if you want people to listen to a piece of music for a long time. You have to have a question and an answer, a tension and the resolution) in the bass and then all other notes on the top could stay in a state of suspension. I hate it, but this thing happens over and over again – this thing that happens when you take a tension resolution out of the treble and you put it in the bass – is that this feeling of suspension alous the melody or improvisation to also visit many different places and almost change a direction of the sound of the melody or improvisation. Because they have this freedom. Because the third in this case – the major third or the minor third – is never expressed. You don’t know what it is, unless I played it. And I can avoid it and leave you wondering what’s happening. Or I can play different ones over and over again.”

Original AC DC Jailbreak online:

Lyrics AC DC Jailbreak:
There was a friend of mine on murder
And the judge’s gavel fell
Jury found him guilty
Gave him sixteen years in hell
He said “I ain’t spending my life here
I ain’t living alone
Ain’t breaking no rocks on the chain gang
I’m breakin’ out and headin’ home

Gonna make a jailbreak
And I’m lookin’ towards the sky
I’m gonna make a jailbreak
Oh, how I wish that I could fly

All in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
Got to be free

Jailbreak, let me out of here
Jailbreak, sixteen years
Jailbreak, had more than I can take
Jailbreak, yeah”

He said he’d seen his lady being fooled with
By another man
She was down and he was up
He had a gun in his hand
Bullets started flying everywhere
And people started to scream
Big man lying on the ground
With a hole in his body
Where his life had been
But it was -

All in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
I got to be free

Jailbreak, jailbreak
I got to break out
Out of here

Heartbeats they were racin’
Freedom he was chasin’
Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing
But he made it out
With a bullet in his back
