Raise your hand if Ritchie Blackmore’s guitar riff on Deep Purple’s “Smoke On The Water” inspired you to play guitar -- or to at least try. Or maybe the four-note blues scale melody launched you into a gyrating, sizzling, melt-your-face air-guitar solo.
Yeah, I thought there would be a sea of hands.
Those of you who didn’t raise your hands are just too cowardly to admit it.
