Ok, I've never seen anybody post this eighther, and it plagued me
until I finally (hopefully) figured it out this summer..


E:------------------------5-
B:------------------3^4^5---
G:------------2---2---------
D:--------2-4---4-----------
A:--0-3^4-------------------
E:--------------------------


Incidentally, Page uses this lick at the beggining of his accompanied
solo on 'Heartbreaker'.

Most of the rest of the solo to Black Dog is fairly straight forward..
