Riff #19: Black Dog - Led Zeppelin (Songs Guitar Lesson RF-019) How to play

I love this riff but I really struggled with the syncopated bit when I was learning it as a teenager, so I have included that section as well as the main riff in this guitar lessons. It's super cool but you will probably want to practice it at a slower speed to get it right - see the transcribing area of my web site for more info on that and the Transcribe! program.

Yes it sounds like JP played it on a Les Paul, but I'm just loving my Tele so much at the moment I can't keep my hands off her :)

Taught by Justin Sandercoe.

[JustinSandercoeSongs]

Justin you are the hero. I follow you now since a year or so and from time by time when I want to learn a special song, I browse your videos. I just want to drop a big complement here and greetings from germany. This Video is again a great help. I believe in some years my guitar playing will be so much improved just because people like you are helping and sharing so much. Thank you very much dude! Your lessons are just awesome!

[eronzero]

Good day sir,

Would kind enough to share your amp setting for this riff.?

Btw, nicely done.! I also wanna thank you for your under the bridge lesson. After several months of focusing to that lesson, i had a tremendous improvement in my guitar playing.

Whenever i got tired of practicing and when i was about to quit, i always watch that video and

seeing you how you easily play it, motivated me to keep on practicing then finally nailed it.!

my sincere thanks to you sir.!

@Nicky282820 dude..the alternate picking (both directions) will multiply ur playing speed X2 .. true that it's hard at the beginning; but will make your hand pick more comfortably and easy in the future ....I'm like u..I've been practicing for months only, believe it or not..I learned this riff without the pick(hand picking)..when I learned it with the pick, at first I struggled but then ,, it was super cool..the sound was so much better !

Killer Tele Justin!

[Nicky282820]

Thank you so much Justin, I will definitely be donating when I can. Possibly a stupid question, but I've only been learning for a couple of months, why does the direction of picking matter? Is it to help with timing? or is there actually a sound difference?

Thanks again :)

Justin, i love your videos, they are the best, but can issue you a challenge, can you try and do a lesson on gallows pole by led zeppelin? if so that would be amazing, anyways thanks for the amazing lesson, ill be sure to stay tuned in! Whiteskull
