That solo starts off with a couple unison bends followed by a couple of stock blues licks.Īfter those licks we encounter a tricky slide lick that goes up and down the fretboard very quickly.
#OCEAN LED ZEPLIN HOW TO#
In the second video lesson I will demonstrate how to play the entire main guitar solo. This section requires you to play mostly double-stops but shouldn't be too much of a challenge. I try to simplify it a bit in the lesson in order to combine the most essential parts of the harmony on one guitar yet retain the sound of the recorded version as close as possible. The only other part found in the 1st video lesson is the harmony guitar part. Remember, the first note of the hammer-on is simply a ghost note and you should just barely hear it.įrom there we have the verse section which contains mostly simple major chords played in a very simple right hand rhythmic pattern. Make sure you pay close attention to the quick hammer-ons at the beginning of the riff.
Most of the riff is based around an A minor pentatonic scale along with the C major arpeggio.
That opening riff is the main riff used throughout the entire song as well. The opening riff is instantly recognizable by just about every rock music fan on the planet. In the first lesson video I will demonstrate how to play all the riffs and chords found within "The Ocean". Even the solos remain quite simple without any major technical hurdles.
Learning how to play The Ocean shouldn't be too difficult for any intermediate level guitarist or above. In these lessons I will demonstrate of how to play Led Zeppelin's "The Ocean" from their Houses of the Holy album.
