Deep Purple "Smoke on the Water" solo by Gretchen Menn 

Such a clean rendition, I love it ! And that little smile of yours, after the solo, when you go back to "the mother of all riffs", simply irresistible. I bet Ritchie wrote "Lost in Hollywood" after he went there and couldn't find you :))))

You play with so much ease and grace.. I am in awe!!

Te felicito Gretchen buenisimo...!!! / I congratulate you, Gretchen, great ... !!!

Wonderfull, Richie Blackmore's got so much soul in his playing, your playing hits the jackpot!

LOVE IT !!

Wunderbar Gretchen!

I love it, she is fantastic.

you're awesome!

The absolute elegance. You`re the best, G.!!

Love your work Gretchen. I hope you're able to visit Australia one day.

Yeah man...from a great album. Had it on for dinner music the other night. Some killer songs on that release. Keep rocking GM \m/

Very nice video, thanks for posting this video. I'm lucky enough to have seen Ritchie Blackmore twice. Once with Rainbow and once with Deep Purple

Que surpresa um "deep puple". Ótimo! Parabens!

I play this but you are really good 😊

Outstanding!

Gretchen, you have intrigued me for some time now, I personally think you are awesome, and as a guitar player myself, I love the Led Zep stuff you do as well :-) :-) Keep rocking girl... Note: I hope you DO put out the new tapping harmonic mystical musical idea you came up with on that blue L.P.!!! Don't waste time and put out your own stuff, more people need to hear and see your personal original music...

After hearing a few of your Deep Purple solos I'd love to see you do a forgotten Deep Purple song 1990's King of Dreams it's actually really cool. You're awesome Gretchen.

I'm really impressed! Fantastic hand work!!

That smile at 1.06 when she knows she nailed it.

Oh those sweet bends :-) well done!

Eres una guitarrista extraordinaria GRETCHEN . Thanks for sharing . A big hug from SEVILLA ( ESPAÑA ).

great ! after years i cant play them !!

Gretchen you are a star and so talented sure played this real well

gaaaaaah you're killing me! your renditions of these Ritchie solos are so awesome! i hope you have a blast at camp :D

You're so talented. Thanks for the video. you look good playing it

Very clear!

Oh the bend from 18:00 to19:00 with the emotion added to it and the smile at the end are just some of the highlights in this also perfect video. I don't know man for me there's only Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Wayne Gretzky and the beautiful and talented Gretchovsky! ; ) Warmest wishes.

Nicely played. 👍🌹✌

That's really awesome your tone and personal signature on the timeless classic.

Very Nice....That's a tough one in term's of playing it like Ritchie's approach and feel. you nailed it. tone was spot on too.\m/

I watched your video for Dazed and Confused. I'm amazed at how you nailed the intro, and worked the violin bow. I always critique a Zeppelin tune for some reason, and you got it spot-on. Keep on rocking, pretty lady.

Bela execução... parabéns!!!

Супер !!!

you have a much more delicate touch to the notes .i am very impressed with your skills .

you might be the most beautiful guitar player on youtube, and not just beautiful, it sounds really good. yeah this song is not so difficult but it's a masterpiece

Very good ❤️👍

Sensacional quitarrista , me encanta su estilo.

awesome..take a good care..

Sounding Great!

Perhaps one of his most tasteful solos, vastly underrated. Nicely done. dare I say it but probably a better job than Steve did at the Hall of Fame performance. I teach this to some of my younger students now. One of Blackmore's greatest assets was his feel for the right note to play. You've nailed it. Wish I was going to that camp.

The steps of the fingers ars beautiful to hear and wearer is beautiful.

DP Forever...all of the MK's. Great playing here

Gretchen is from another Universe!!! I saw Deep Purple live at "THE PIT" in Albuquerque...1983. I've never been the same since!!! "Smoke on the water... And fire in the sky!!!"

WOW THIS SONG IS OVER THE TOP WHEN YOU GOT THE RIGHT GUITAR TUNED

Cute and clean version :) Bravo!

I want you to play it in Japan. A splendid guitar.

Excellent solo!

Is a delight to the ears, exquisite song

Very Nice.

love listen greattt

Nice to see such an exquisitely beautiful woman playing guitar, equally nice to see you are not putting everything on show, only your talent and your beautiful face! ❤🎸

FIrst of all - nice touch with the FZ shirt for this song... Second, Yes a FZ shirt!!

Super

excelente el solo de guitarra que hiciste

I salute you. You are one of the few playing it right with UPSTROKES. Even the present day Purple guitarist plays it wrong

@Gretchen Menn : Hey being a old school heavy metal devotee i gotta say ur guitar solo on Highway star & Smoke on the water is nearly perfect to Blackmore. Can you please do a guitar solo on War pigs, Iron man & Had of doom by Black Sabbath? I am subscribing to ur channel in hope that u will do it! Thanks keep rockin Gretchen \m/

Awesome!!!!!

Great Stuff!!!

Gretchen is very fine, a delicate woman playing hard rock The princess of the dreams

Gretchen The Great.

Articulate -- excellent, great clarity to the fingerwork. RB tends to flow and smooth some of those notes in a way that is harder to 'see' but enjoyable on the ear. You clearly can do it either way...as others have asked -- an instructional vid showing how and then flowing into 'this is how RB then pulls it off' would be really valuable to many players. Music for ever...thank you.

u're a doll!

ANCHA ZUMAJ.!!!🎸🎼🎵👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

👍💕👏😍😊

ชอบครับ จังหวะ ฝึกอย่างไร ง่าย ๆบ้างครับ จ ช พ

This is awesome! #SmokeSerenadaSchool

And to think I thought you were just the female Jimmy Page. For those of you that do not know, the lovely and talented Ms Menn plays in the tribute band Zepparella and is always "spot on". Everyone check them out! Any chance you ladies will ever be coming to Central Texas?

Music Love

Nice! In every way.

great

tres belle interpretation

Well done!

멋지다 so cool

I will never again bitch about my hands being too small for a 25.5 scale neck. Gretchen looks so relaxed and at ease when she plays.

Super!✌️

Dream woman! :-)

Super!!!

There is no video of interviews about you like how you start, did you attend music school and so on?

Очень красивая девушка!!! По поводу игры ничего не могу сказать, поскольку я сам не умею играть на гитаре, но мне кажется, что играет она ох...тельно!!!
