Guitarists: Learn How to Play Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog” Guitar Riff in Two Minutes in GuitarControl.com Online Video
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 17, 2013 -- In another of its popular online guitar lessons, GuitarControl.com’s seven-string siren Alejandra Mesliuk teaches the thundering Jimmy Page riff. She points out that it employs the A minor pentatonic scale almost entirely in the fifth position. The second part of the line features a clever time shift.
The Argentinean string wizard first plays the piece at its regular tempo, then at about half speed. Next, in a very tight close-up, she demonstrates the riff very slowly, one note at a time.
Beginners should start slowly, using a metronome to stay in time and gradually build up speed. Printable notation and tabs accompany the lesson.
Hear more of this plectrum prodigy on recordings by the progressive metal band Inventio and on her own projects, which include full helpings of her sweeping, string-skipping and tapping expertise.
