    Dad Rock

    As a kid, Dave Hill was introduced to Led Zeppelin by his dad. He quickly learned how to play the song on guitar, but never quite got the hang of the solo. Decades later, his dad learned the song, too, and gave Dave the opportunity to finally rock the solo and melt faces -- but the arrangement was a little unexpected.
