    Yes I was wondering when you’d finish this! I always thought that that mid section never really fit but then listened to it from the perspective of a psychedelia song and 👌

    When I first started playing guitar, I watched your videos and I was like damn, this guy is way too good and I couldn't play anything. My dumbass was trying to learn Black Dog 1 month in and I mean I got the notes, but that's about it lol. Now, 5 months in, I've been able to follow your videos more and more. I've been practicing Ten Years Gone by Led Zeppelin and you go really in depth with that. I've got most of the intro down, it's just transitioning to some of the chords I've never played is hard, but I'm definitely getting better. So far with this video, I'm 3:51 and I can do that perfectly. This song is really fun, so I can't wait to learn a lot of thus song. Also, could you do Cities On Flame With Rock and Roll by them and Stranglehold by Ted Nugent. I will keep watching you all the time, you are the best teacher on UA-cam.

    Wow, this one really hits a nostalgic nerve for me. I remember first discovering this track on a random classic rock compilation cd I had in the late 90's, and must have played it on repeat a dozen times as I drifted off to sleep. For some reason it became my favourite song, and I embarrassingly have the last verse tattooed on my side 🥴
    I learnt this a while back, but it's great to get a refresher on the fill section and of course the solo. Thanks Carl, perhaps Godzilla's in the cards...?!

    For real though, I love the whole section where you get into the solo. It's very meticulous and well done. Also, because I'm terrible at all of this, it gives me a chance to go back and continue to practice the intro and the fills while your solo breakdown plays in the background.
