  1. Probably the most popular Guitar Riff of them all...... or is it that Led Zeppelin song.....? No, it's this one by Deep Purple!
  2. Have a listen to the original recording... it's a great rock track.
  3. Use a plectrum and play the middle two strings firmly.
  4. Try playing the riff with the thumb & index finger of plectrum hand - pinch the strings.
