Great lesson! Too many of these just say “put your ring finger on the third fret, etc.,” without any context. Explaining how this fits in to the fifth position of the A minor blues scale makes it much easier to remember and play.
Gotta love the old classic's. Still kickin ass in today's world. I learned to play that riff and most of the rest of it back in my twenties, and I'm 59 now. But still just as good now as it was back then. Cool video. Thanks for sharing Nick. G.
Hello Nick, Someday I really would like to meet you and jam. I am a 69 year old bass player that was in three Zeppelin tribute bands, White Summer, Led it Out & Kashmir. Stay safe and well and keep Rocking. Signed John Gregory Zepbass from Munster Indiana.
Sorry bro, but you're off a bit, BUT in your defense I have seen NO ONE on here that can play Heartbreaker or the solo on Highway Star. Some get close and I enjoy them, but you can't teach it if you can't play it. Sorry Mate.
Great lesson but.. why the continual regression into appeals to idiocy? Learning to play electric guitar by ear does not mean anyone is a dozen IQ points short of a hundred. It would be far easier if you showed the staff notation while playing along with the explanation and then it would be completely 110% visually unambiguous that the riff's notes are the same as the pentatonic scale and/or directly based on the ascending pattern of the scale. Showing the staff would make staff notation less scary to those artificially trained to dislike it, maybe even invite them to learn to read staff for studying great melodies. The "forest gump' attitude is kind of funny, but.. not a good role model for anyone, especially beginning players, very especially not young beginning players. It continues to show electric guitar and electric guitar players in a bad light.
More classic Zep' from Nick Bowcott! What's your favorite Jimmy Page riff? ⚡

I just spent 11 minutes watching a lesson of a riff I can learn in 30 seconds, and I regret nothing. Nick makes everything super fun.
anyone who can teach me guitar and make me laugh is a-ok in my book! love your lessons!
Nailed the riff and the tone, Nick!
Always good to see uncle Nick, 🤟🏻
I love that riff. And that guitar solo is just KILLER!
Hey Nick, would you please teach the entire song?
Nice nod to Beneath, Between and Behind in the intro.
