The man behind the mind-blowing medley is Andrea Boccarusso, known for recreating famous guitar riffs on his YouTube channel.
The next instalment in his online series sees him run through an array of the legendary band’s classic tracks, including ‘Good Times Bad Times’, ‘Black Dog’, ‘Stairway to Heaven’ and ‘In the Evening’.
Switching back and forth between acoustic and electric guitars (sometimes playing both at once), Boccarusso plays brief instrumental versions of beloved tracks such as ‘Trampled Under Foot’, ‘Dancing Days’, ‘No Quarter’, ‘Gallows Pole’, ‘When the Levee Breaks’, ‘Dazed and Confused’ and ‘In My Time of Dying’.
