Pulling off an awesome air guitar performance heavily depends on your source material and this classic not only gives you ample opportunity to do fancy stuff with your hands — like pretending you’re a left-handed player, for one — but also to make awesome faces during the bit when the guitar goes all, “widdly-widdly-weeeeaurrggh!”
Pretty much anything Jimmy Page touched would work just as well, but the massive riffage on “Black Dog” makes it the most obvious choice from the Zep catalog. Plus, you don’t have to wear a shirt.
Motorhead “Ace of Spades”
It might help to grow a handlebar mustache but the guitar parts on this song are so gnarly in and of themselves that no further embellishments are necessary. Just get on-stage and let it rip.
Guns N’ Roses “Sweet Child O’ Mine”
Aerosmith “Walk This Way”
