My '23 version(cover) of the classic Led Zepp' guitar powerhouse that is "Black Dog" originally released way back in 1971. Led Zeppelin, one of my all time fave rock bands discovered in the glorious summer of '76 ... actually a mate had nicked the double cassette "Physical Graffiti" from a well known chain store and we listened to it so many times in the town square under the hot sun of '76. That album woke me up musically from the tamer pop glam in the charts at the time. Glory Days!
So this was a bitch to get right as it has so many weird tempo and time changes. Apparently, a deliberate ploy of the band to make it harder to copy. Still that is what the musical grid and note fractions are for. That and modern recording techniques allow for more trial and error takes. (But in the days of tape, for sure harder). I am particularly happy with my drum track here. yes, it's midi programmed but I studied the original track / drum score a lot to get the fills and grooves as close as I could. Onward....
