I was glancing around a few tab sites and found that there is a near infinite number of ways to play these songs. I, personally, have been playing them like this:


Smoke On The Water:
|---------------------------|e
|---------------------------|
|0-3-5-0-3-65-0-3-5-3-0|
|0-3-5-0-3-65-0-3-5-3-0|
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|E

Iron Man:
|----------------------------------|e
|----------------------------------|
|----------------------------------|
|----------------------------------|
|0-3-5-7-7-9p8h9p8h9-5-5-7-7|
|----------------------------------|E

What ways did you learn it?

I've never heard the first song, but Iron Man is best played in Power Chords like this:

e|-------------------------------------------------------
B|-------------------------------------------------------
G|-------------------------------------------------------
D|-4--7--7-9-9--12/11-12/11-12--9-9-7-9-9----
A|-4--7--7-9-9--12/11-12/11-12--9-9-7-9-9----
E|-------------------------------------------------------

I'm pretty sure the tabs you have up there are wrong, though. I tried playing it, doesn't sound right at all =x

He's actually closer to the Randy Rhoads way of playing it then the Iomi way. Yours is closer to the way Iomi played it, but still not quite there. I was recording a video, but my camera steals the sole of every battery that it gets near, so it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Oh, I forgot to mention that you should look up "Dream on" by Aerosmith. That's a fairly easy song that would be good for a beginner/intermediate to learn in order to clean up their dexterity with their fingers, because of the strange chord shapes. It's also a well known song that not everybody plays on the guitar, but it's definitely a guitar based, and driven song.

EDIT: Er.. that sounded like it was directed at Shamrock, but I meant it for Mathew

The Smoke on the Water tab you have is perfect (at least for that section), however Iron Man is more like
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|--5--7--7s9-9--12s11-12s11-12s11-7--7--9--9-|
A|--3--5--5s7-7--10s9---10s9--10s9--5--5--7--7-|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

It starts with a B5 not a C5, in the beginning. Everything else is good.

Those tabs look pretty good but I can't try them out. I refuse to play either of those because those are the two songs that every guitar player knows.

Iron Man starts out on the 7th fret of the low E string and goes up from there. Tony Iommi almost always plays all the powerchords on the Low E string, if possible. He's said in many many interviews.

You're right, that was kind of stupid. Playing it the way I posted would make the song in a major key, which just isn't right. xP

if you really need a tab to figure either song out, seriously, take lessons.
Smoke on the Water is like what like 4 chords?
