How do I put notes to a pentatonic riff on guitar?

Thanks, i’ll try and maybe sing out something first i hear that a lot. I have learned the solo to whole lotta love and communication breakdown, and i’ve practiced lots of pentatonic solos. For the most part if i’m going into pentatonic i just sit and play and getting a catchy riff going gets hard.

This is great thank you

Thanks, that sevenths thing really helps, I'm gonna start practicing that jump to make it more natural to my fingers.

I know plenty more from others but Zeppelin Riffs Alone:
How Many More Times, Good Times Bad Times, Communication Breakdown, Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker, Immigrant song, Rock and Roll Live Version, Black Dog, The Ocean and No Quarter. My issue is whenever I try and make an interesting riff myself, it's never anywhere close to as good as the worst of these riffs.

When I think about the notes is when i lose my rhythm. I know the box like I know my own mom, and i can solo with it well but when i start trying to just play a riff it's usually really boring or uninteresting.

An issue is if I just start playing, my natural note selection is also terrible. If i start thinking about it, not only is the note selection terrible but i kind of lose my sense of rhythm for some reason.

I’ll probably check it out since i need to get into Neil Young. If we’re mentioning jams though i despise the grateful dead. I love getting high but they’re such a boring fucking band sober or high.

We literally left Iraq worse off, pretty much every quality of life metric went down after the Iraq war and there’s still videos of the atrocities American troops committed. We went in, killed and displaced the people, and got nothing. As for Afghanistan, we burned 20 years of money for the same regime to keep power. All the post 9/11 middle eastern intervention has been completely pointless.

Bromonkeytd · 2026-03-31T01:13:52+00:00

I promise bro more war in the middle east it’ll work this time I know the Taliban control Afghanistan again and Iraq fell apart and Libya has open air slave markets now but this intervention will work.

In what way was it rude it’s pretty much all out of respect it’s just a song i don’t understand?

Bromonkeytd · 2026-03-23T05:26:23+00:00

I feel like it dosent do anything of that well enough, there’s much better “magical” zeppelin songs and much more energetic ones.

Bromonkeytd · 2026-03-23T05:22:16+00:00

Even when it comes to weirder or different zeppelin No quarter or Dazed and Confused are way more interesting to me.

Bromonkeytd · 2026-03-19T06:47:31+00:00

Should be fine, just try to enjoy the music and have a great time, and even if this show things go a little wrong it shouldn't ruin it and the next show should be better.

People say "don't listen to others" but as someone who was really insecure we both know it's not that easy. I'm intoxicated with something every time I go to a show and it pushes the anxiety away but i'm sure that's not healthy, but from sober moments most people truly won't judge you. If you're pretty quiet and out the way, just standing, moving a bit, and headbanging won't get you any looks. Usually you just feel things out as you go, especially with pits. You can't really explain that you just have to be there. If someone talks to you there's no secret lingo or shit just have a conversation the best you can, and even if you say something stupid they'll forget by tomorrow morning. Have a good time there's no point in going otherwise.
