In this guitar lesson, we explore one of the most famous riffs in British rock history: Black Night by Deep Purple. This track is a definitive example of the blues-influenced hard rock sound that Ritchie Blackmore helped pioneer, and we are breaking down exactly how to play the main riff with the correct timing and feel.

We’ve just released a brand-new episode in our Decade Discovery series, and this time we’re diving straight into the roots of rock ’n’ roll. James and George unpack the timeless riffs and iconic guitar pioneers of the 1950s — including Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, and Carl Perkins — and show why their music still shapes guitarists today.

We break down essential songs from the decade such as That’ll Be The Day, Jailhouse Rock, Rumble, Raunchy, Rebel Rouser, Smokestack Lightning, Walk The Line and What I’d Say. We also explore the techniques behind them: 7th-chord rhythm work, minor pentatonic phrasing, walking bass lines, early rock ’n’ roll lead playing, and the gritty attitude of players like Link Wray.

The episode opens with a jam on Rumble and ends with a nod to Santo & Johnny’s Sleepwalk — all while focusing on what modern guitarists can learn from 1950s tone, style, and groove.
