This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

• It illustrates an educational article specifically about the song from which this sample was taken. The article describes multiple aspects of the recording that are demonstrated by the sample, such as assertions in the article's Composition section that describes the guitar riff that is essential to the song.
• It is a sample of less than 30 seconds and no more than 10% of the original recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording or to recreate the original recording.
• It is of a lower quality than the commercially available digital versions of the original recording.
• It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
• This sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.

Use of this excerpt is in good faith, and its inclusion enhances the quality of the article "Smoke on the Water" without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.
