Ian Melrose Smoke On The Water

Ian Melrose plays an Avalon L325C fingerstyle guitar and uses DR Strings Sometimes it’s fun to do something people don’t expect, to revel in something a bit “over the top” and simply enjoy J. One day I was idly playing around on the guitar and found myself doing the iconic opening riff of “Smoke on the Water”, and a friend thought it was somehow cool, so – surprised - I continued and weeks later this version was ready. Add to that playing around in the studio with my good friend and sound wizard/engineer
