Check out my Led Zeppelin playlist! • Led Zeppelin
Being one of Led Zeppelin's most recognizable songs, "Black Dog" is a great example of taking a seemingly simple riff and warping into into something incredibly unique. "Black Dog" just seems to ebb and flow throughout the different sections.
The unusual rhythm for the song was accomplished by drummer John Bonham keeping count for the band by clicking his drumsticks together during the quite sections. If you turn it up loud enough you can actually hear it on the original recording. Partly because of this unique feel "Black Dog" has long been a Led Zeppelin fan favorite.
Jimmy Page's rhythm parts are almost like solos in themselves with the way he continuously creates rhythmic single note lines throughout the song. The signature main riff was actually credited to John Paul Jones, but Jimmy Page seems to take it and run with it. His solo during the outro section of the song uses a TON of signature Jimmy Page licks including rapid pentatonics and smooth oblique bends.
"Black Dog" is truly a masterpiece of classic rock and pure signature Led Zeppelin throughout. Good luck! #blackdogguitarlesson #ledzeppelin #guitarcovers
Lesson Taught by: Carl Brown

When you nail a song so hard it has to be removed for copyright

[@MrPlatinumfan]

beat me to it lol

[@antsolution]

I like him better than Marty. Marty is too complicated, Carl is one of the best guides

[@calebbohrer3757]

Oscar Matthews I like that he’s more thorough. Marty in my opinion is the better teacher for beginners, but Carl goes a bit faster and teaches more in depth lessons. Love and use both tho

[@brettbush7491]

@@calebbohrer3757 perfectly aggreed I'm sure we all started with Marty amdoved to him as we progressed more into guitar

[@daleweymark9476]

I agree marty is great don’t get me wrong! I think most people start with Marty and move to Carl. Carl can definitely play more songs too and harder ones.. and play them more accurate... I just joined Carl’s premium membership ok so glad I did! Well worth the small amount of money

[@nickcarneiro9990]

Nah I think it’s because Marty is aimed more for beginners and Carl is for like intermediate people that want to learn their favorite songs, I started with Marty and moved on to Carl as the years went on and I bet many people have too. They are both great 👍

[@johnlennonade5869]

These videos I takes notes on I may watch these videos 3 or 4 times just to make sure I’ll got everything

[@comradetossletoucher344]

I just wanna keep playing that opening riff over and over again haha

[@sebsimidian7866]

I literally played it for an hour straight lol

[@gamerjc2701]

What fool is giving these lessons a "thumbs down "?Anyone just watching for the first time ,THIS GUY IS FANTASTIC and the multiple camera angles make this an excellent guide!

[@abhichanshrestha9302]

They are not fool. Its just their game to play.. hahaha

[@steeler3258]

Right?? He’s the best out there

[@yellowzoiid]

Can you do more Led Zeppelin? You're the only guitar teacher I watch.

[@unwinsis]

The thing about Jimmy's riffs is they're so fun and easy to play, but when you watch footage of a live show, your just thinking wtf?, how does he put all those accents and character on each note. he actually puts a fair bit of vibrato into the opening riff and i'm just like where does he find the time to squeeze in vibrato?

[@OmnipotentO]

unwinsis this is so goddam true. I can play these notes and it sounds only vaguely like it's supposed to. I'm mad. I'm going to rage quit guitar.

[@davecarrick2194]

[@SantoshKumar-wl7yb]

Yes it was. Recorded in 2012, hope it helps👍🏻

[@wesbranchfield]

Can you Please do a lesson for the solo in Heartbreaker???

[@family-accountemail9111]

He did and I was over the moon, if we had KZbin 30 yr ago when I was 16 I could been a contender

[@steelcantuna]

I'm gonna tell my mommy on jimmy page for him deleting this intro. He must now suffer for his sins. He shall cry out for mercy, where there shall be NO mercy.

[@brianbianco7316]

Thanks for doing some Zeppelin Carl! More please.

[@geraldbrown2875]

Great lesson , I know you usually play it through initially before you break it down. Does KZbin take it upon themselves to delete it due to copyright legalities, and why is it ok to cover someone else's song? 🇨🇦

[@giovanniftonin1455]

Gerald Brown Morning

[@theflyluciano7877]

If you think about it it means that you're lesson is so good that it sounded like the original and that it was removed for copyright. Dude you are amazing

[@theyapsta]

Thanks for that very clear explanation. I liked the bonus harmony bit and the chorus variation options. I have to work everything out with some kind of pulse to the right hand or it doesn't make sense rhythmically. The timing on the recording is tricky as you mention and I did struggle with this when I tried to work it out by ear many years ago. In particular I found the timing of the repeats on the 2nd part of the riff in E (B,D,Eb,E, B D E) hard to pick up. I found that using accented alternate picking helps. The 1st time starting on an upstroke on the B to accent the downstroke on the D... up on Eb... accent down on E.. etc. 2nd Time start on a downstroke with the count on B... up on D... down on Eb.. up on E...etc. 3rd time start on upstroke again.... 4th and final time start on accented down on the B and it comes out nicely in time on the A riff. Another thing I do is utilise the open D and 2nd fret E on the D string rather than D and E on 5th and 7th fret A string in the decending bit of the A riff. It gets your hand into the open A position nicely using open D rather than the fretted "steps" down the A string which don't feel natural to me. My 2 cents worth anyway. Thanks again for your video.

[@benfrizzell1244]

YAY, I was waiting for you to get this video back!

[@iconintuitive8523]

2:54 opening riff

[@saariosman3066]

Tq so much bro ❤

[@Prince_Oli]

Zeppelin is the greatest rock and roll band of all time. Pink Floyd, Sabbath and The Doors ain’t far off either.

[@andrewm7903]

Carl, you're teaching these songs and yet the demo parts are getting removed? There shouldn't be a copyright placed on certain parts of your videos.

[@anthonyangelis1094]

This lesson really helped me Carl in refining these riffs-You showed me a new way to nail that C chord using the fifth fret

[@insanebrain213]

Lol "G string"

[@ibanezprestigeboy]

Led Zeppelin sucks for the copy right strike on an obvious lesson.

[@notoriousv.i.g.6980]

Thanks Carl, another great lesson. Now its time for part 2!

[@bholaguptagzp]

I like your guitar tutorials every , songs seem easier than before

[@graysaw]

Then you find JamesJames and he plays all the nuances of a song, he has an amazing ear

That's bullshit having to remove the beginning, like the real thing hasn't been played a billion times on the effin radio and everywhere else!!😡😡 I think Page would think it's stupid....

[@gerrypendry8592]

I too grab that 5rh note with my middle finger instead of rolling my ring finger. I feel vindicated, and slightly less sucky.

[@billjoyce5525]

Carl is very good agreed, Marty is good too, sometimes I get lost following him though

[@MangoNinja333]

I'm not stupid. And you're good at playing the guitar. Maybe I'm not interested in being "ready for this song" but holy mother of God I want to learn so I'm going to keep watching this video. Please don't play the whole sequence after every note you teach because it makes me feel slowwwwww lmao

[@stephanelacroixguitar6364]

Cool riff! :)

I like them both I get something different from Both

[@jeffreyhell5070]

this guy is great the only critique I have is I like to see them play it in real time first then break it down

[@procrastinator6902]

Did you miss the big text across the screen explaining why that wasn't done?
