Hi guys, this is how to play a whole lot of love by Led Zeppelin. Absolutely classic riff, it's been voted one of the best riffs of all time in numerous surveys. Very short, very repetitive but also very fast so it's kind of deceptively tricky just to try and get the speed of the thing. But very short, definitely have a go at this one. Do remember to subscribe if you do like this lesson and check out andiguitar.co.uk For loads more simple riffs like this that you can play and let's get you in for a close up to show you how to play a whole lot of love. Okay guys, so this riff has two pretty obvious components. We have this little riff and then a par-muted power chord. And the first part of the riff is your third finger at seven fret on the thickest E string. And then our first finger is at fifth fret on the fifth string. So sixth string to fifth string with your picking hand, third finger to first finger. And they happen quite fast after each other. And then there's a pause on that first finger and then it happens again. So altogether. For notes really. Picking hand, I'm doing everything on a down pick for now. And I don't see any reason to kind of vary from that. It's definitely trying to get the rhythm of it that will be the trickiest thing for you. And having your fingers kind of hovering over where the frets where they're going to end up. So I'm on impressing one finger down at a time. But we keep your fingers over those certain notes and certain frets. And that's how we get it sounding nice and smooth. Not lifting off one finger until the next one happens. And then we slide your first finger up two frets to seventh fret on the A string. And we play a normal power chord. And just doing a power chord on just the two strings. So standard power chord shape but no need for your little finger. And we also play the thickest E string as well. So we've got open string, then string five, and then string four with your third finger. And that together would be... That's the sound we're after. Now we're only going to press down these notes on the beat. So one, two, three, and a four, and a four, and a... on that beat. And then straight away. Sometimes I find it more comfortable to do a power chord with my little finger down that rhythm. Presents itself. So just these... So you can hear what's happening on the string five and four, the strings that you've got your fingers on. So press down, then stay on the strings but relax. And we immediately get that kind of rhythm to it. With a little bit of palm muting on just the thickest E string. The sound that kind of makes your windows rattle if you have your amp on high enough and you're doing it properly. Just all and down one, and the other two, and the other two. Combines those two. And we have that part of the riff. So that's definitely something that you want to get totally separate. Before you put the two together, and when we do put the two together, nice and slow. So you can hear I am sliding from five to seven to move positions. And I am adding a slide when I start off the riff. Just for a bit of flavour, for a bit of phrasing basically. Very much optional. You don't have to do it every time as well if you are doing it. Nice and slow one last time. One, two, three, and three. And that's how to play a whole lot of love.
