Clip [here](http://guitarsquid.com/Latest/ever-covered-qblack-dogq-and-put-it-on-youtube-you-might-be-in-this-video.html). [Kutiman](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kutiman) (wiki link) is this guy who takes “found” clips on youtube and edits them into a single piece of music. In this case, he samples the hundreds of clips out there of folks performing Zep’s song Black Dog. Really fascinating and fun - hope you enjoy. ---

I about choked when I saw the clip of a group playing _that_ song in a church 😛 Also noted this bit on the page containing the video: “… the power of this well-crafted song and Jimmy Page’s timeless licks…” I suppose the writer may have been referring to the guitar solo, but it’s worth noting that the main riff of this song, as well as most Zep songs based on a distinctive riff, was the work of John Paul Jones. I don’t have a link at hand, but I read an interview where JPP said he came up with most of those “riff-based” songs, while Page was responsible for most of the chord-based, bluesy songs. _sigh_ Bass player always gets overlooked… ---

Headbanging Grover + mouthful of soda = laptop troubles.
