Bring It On Home

[xan.]

I want to learn this riff from this Led Zeppelin song "Bring It On Home". I dont really under stand the tab though. The part I dont understand how to play is 2b4r2p1. If anyone could make a video of that little riff I would really appreciate or just explain to me. I know b - bend and r- it says on the tab from where I got release bend to indicated fret.

they're saying to:

play the 2. bend it up so it's the same note as if you were playing the 4. bring it back down so that it sounds like you're playing the 2 again. then pull off to the 1.

so the 2b4r2 will all be done on the same string and same fret. basically you'll just bend it really hard then bring it back down.

then the pull off (incase you weren't sure) means you'll have a finger on the 1 and another finger on the 2 and you'll pull the finger from the 2 off so that the string rings w/o you having to strum it.

it's the exact same for the 7b9r7p6

I hate Jimmy Page!!! Bending a full step on the second fret = ( My little fingers just aren't strong enough to get it to sound good, i can do like 3/4 of a step.

he seriously is an asshole for that. i'll bet he did it and was like "those little punk kids will never be able to do this"
