If your trying to pick the notes/melody I suggest singing each note out slowly and figure it out that way.

:example

Jin__gle Bells

sing "jin" and hold the note and try and find that note on your guitar while humming or singing the note...you will know when you hit that note on the guitar.

This is a good way of learning lead to guitar if the notes are not to complicated.

Also remember that the note your looking for may already be the one your playing...in jingle bells the first 3 notes are the same i think.

Good luck

The rest of smoke on the water is pretty much basic power chords (minus the solo)...G F C and maybe a A#/Bb or something like that(just guessing)

Also the power chords may be picked at times...example below of power chord and how the chord can be picked instead of strumed.

Hope that helps a bit.
