It's the acoustic qualities of the Dano's masonite body + the microphonic sound of the cheap pickups. For some reason the combination works. All they were trying to do was make a cheap guitar for the Sears catalog and stumbled upon a desirable tone.
The tuning is in DADGAD which is an Indian influenced tuning, and danelectro was the first to create electric sitars out of its lipstick pickups so combine the playing style and tone and it suits perfectly.
The reason why Jimmy Page is my favourite: it is not so much the hard rock riffs, although I do love them as much as I love some Hendrix and Pink Floyd stuff. The main reason why Page is my favourite artist is because of songs like White Summer, Black Mountain Side, The Rain Song, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, etc... all of his acoustic tunes. He is truly a genius. Nice cover, btw! Played excellently with the Danelectro! Gotta love those lipstick pickups.
Page's Black Mountainside is a pretty straight cover of Bert Jansch's Wild Mountainside, and White Summer seems similar to Davey Graham's She Moved Through the Fair. th-cam.com/video/CYABfZ7HMhM/w-d-xo.html. They aren't really Page originals.
I remember being 14, and my dad showing me an led zeppelin dvd, This song came on. Fell in love with Jimmy Page right on the spot. Nice work my man. love it.
I was 10 and it was my older sister.back in 69. She had a guitar in one hand and a big fat splif in the other. I was into zeplin. This song stuck out in peticular. Genious all the acoustic stuff. And that big bad sound, led zeplin dropped the bomb with LZ1 then 2 then.............history
Right outta the water! The incredibly intricate travis picking, the flawless dynamics, the subtle inflections, the intensity, the feel, the organic guitar tone... simply a masterpiece!
Awesome job, you perfectly captured the spirit and essence of this truly amazing song. A great challenge for any guitar player, and you nailed it. Thanks!
Fantastic cover! One of the best I've heard of this song. I'm sure Jimmy would be proud. It was a nice treat to hear a piece from Swan Song used as a bridge.
therehastobeme great knowledge of zepp's performances, man! In your opinion, what guitar did page use for recording "Achilles last stand"? I know that jimmy used les paul on stage, but for overlaying multiple guitar on the track, he must have used a thiner sounding guitar...
Just came across this … I think of all the hours I put into Black Mountain Side . I can only imagine how much practice you put into this one … well done.
Great playing and awesome musical approach to this piece! You really developed a truly remarcable confidence in performing! Keep up with the nice grooves, man!
Great! camera angle using the Fish bowl view and wondrous playing on the your Danelectro DC 59 and your done the original well done version on this jimmy page theme justice. Lets have more material from you regarding jimmy page instrumentals
I was curious how much a Danelectro was, and I was surprised that they go for about as much as a MIM strat, or epiphone. Apparently from the reviews I have read, you get quite the tone machine for the price. I might try this on my baja tele, with some power booster. Your cover was pretty rad, I enjoyed it.
Ya man, killer! There sure is a lot of guitar to learn in this so I can totally see the work ya put in! Loved the little bit of swan song/midnight moonlight in there too! 🎸
Jimmy is the best all around player, acoustic, 12 string acoustic and electric and all the different turnings sometimes live he can be a little sloppy on solos but it still sound great.
This is great and you can tell you put a lot of practice into it. Can I make a suggestion on technique? I'm been playing and teaching for 35+ years and noticed you tend to pull down on the lower strings during bends. Generally it's a better idea to push up on the lower three strings to make sure you're not going to run out of room. I see this a lot in people that were self-taught. Just something to consider. Great job!
Francisco Escalante Gutierrez Hmm, it was a while ago, but I think I was using my little 10watt fender solid state amp on the clean channel - every knob cranked to 11...
+Big Swarm I haven't looked it up or even tried to play this song yet. So I'm totally guessing here! As John Wallent mentioned above, JP used DADGAD for this song while take advantage of the 0-2-4 pattern. To me this sounds like it puts the song in the key of D. If you strum all strings in DADGAD while only fretting the 2nd fret of the the 3rd string, you get DADAAD. Notice you have 2 notes here, the D & A, which are the I and V intervals of the major (or minor) D chord (if you know your intervals). Basically you get your D power chord notes, the D & A. Having deduced this info, I'm assuming the song uses the D major scale. Why major, because it sounds happy to me (I could be wrong here, but I haven't tried to play the song yet to make sure). Try to play the D major scale on a your guitar with standard tuning while playing the song in the background and see if it matches. It should. N.B. I'm still learning music theory and am in no way an expert on the topic. If someone with greater knowledge could chime-in and maybe correct me if I'm wrong, it would be much appreciated.
+Thierry Mattea Hi, I'm a prospective music geek student :) Yes, put simply, it's D major. However, *it's not your typical kind of major scale!* The use of C notes (dominant 7th note, if wanna be fancy) instead of a C# means that he is using notes from the D *Mixolydian* scale/mode. At sections such as 0:30, 3:55, 10:30, he uses a slightly different set of notes from the Mixolydian scale. Here we have Eb being used instead of E, and we have Bb being used instead of a B. This means that he is now using notes from the D *Phrygian Dominant* scale/mode. This is your typical cool middle-eastern sounding scale. Those are the two most used scales throughout. However, of course there are exceptions where he does occasionally borrow notes from outside of these scales here and there. For example, look at 3:35. Here he uses the minor 3rd (F) as opposed to the major 3rd (F#) note - creates a slightly country bluesy feel I think :) and Also, 6:48 is pretty much the standard major scale (Which is also known as the Ionian mode, btw). If this kind of stuff interests you, I recommend you look up the Modes of music. There are 7 main modes, Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Aeolian, Mixolydian, Lydian and Lochrian. I found that understanding them is incredibly useful for ALL areas of music, especially as a guitarist. Start from those 7 modes then expand :) It is quite advanced music stuff though, so maybe not for beginners. But go for it if you want!
Freljil Hungi VERY interesting indeed! Certainly goes way beyond my novice skill level in understanding of music theory. I wish I had focused more on the art of the language of music in my younger days in oppose to trying to figure out how to play solely by ear! Sure, I'm aware of the various scale modes as to their existence, but I'm still at the stage of trying to learn my scale and chord structures, intervals, harmonics, etc... An overwhelming task at times for someone my age! Though confident I will get their one day. Thank you Freljil for the highly informative input and the inspiration to toil on!

I wonder why White Summer sounds _just right_ on these Danelectro lipstick pickups.
I always loved that tone from the dano!

@@DougZbikowski yes- 👏🏻😁
That's why I own a couple of the "catalog" guitars!😉

Page is in the Top 5 of all time: Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Frank Marino, Eric Clapton, Jimi Page......you can fight over the rest. MZ

@@wbertie2604 Thank you! I love learning!
Agree but bron yr aur is my favorite
My thoughts exactly!
I remember being 14, and my dad showing me an led zeppelin dvd, This song came on. Fell in love with Jimmy Page right on the spot. Nice work my man. love it.
+Colin Looker That's funny because the same thing happened with me but I think I was 8
I was going to comment on how awesome this is...then I saw I already had. Really proves my point from 3 years ago. Will ring true forever!
Same there! We have some awesome dads :D I think i was 5 or 6. I remember that I felt love right away hearing this song.
I was 10 and it was my older sister.back in 69. She had a guitar in one hand and a big fat splif in the other. I was into zeplin. This song stuck out in peticular. Genious all the acoustic stuff. And that big bad sound, led zeplin dropped the bomb with LZ1 then 2 then.............history
finally some1 covered zeppelin tunes with a danelectro
It's a yard birds tune I can tell you are a true fan
@@rickyjiggens2180 lmaooooo
Only thing missing are Bonham's drums in the background.
Yes.. I was thinking the same.
My dream is to play this masterpiece 🤯
Hows it comin?
Yeah, going on what john said, have you got it yet ?
@@haydnmcdonnell2397 I still don't think it is possible to play for humans
@ the timing is a bit wonky at times but its not that hard imo, like most stuff from page
DADGAD tuning
More than a cover version, an interpretation. Salute!
This is an absolute masterclass
Right outta the water! The incredibly intricate travis picking, the flawless dynamics, the subtle inflections, the intensity, the feel, the organic guitar tone... simply a masterpiece!
Just found this and have to say you are FUCKING AMAZING! Saw Jimmy do this at least 4 times live and it is still on of my favorites.
Awesome job, you perfectly captured the spirit and essence of this truly amazing song. A great challenge for any guitar player, and you nailed it. Thanks!
Fantastic cover! One of the best I've heard of this song. I'm sure Jimmy would be proud. It was a nice treat to hear a piece from Swan Song used as a bridge.
Jimmy used WSBMS for his lead in to Kashmir 1977 1979 and 1980 live performances
therehastobeme great knowledge of zepp's performances, man!
In your opinion, what guitar did page use for recording "Achilles last stand"?
I know that jimmy used les paul on stage, but for overlaying multiple guitar on the track, he must have used a thiner sounding guitar...
@@leaveyofairarmy185 He layered his Tele, and Les Pauls. He also used the danelectro for some
He also played this at RAH in 1969
This also has a snippet of 'Swan Song' which became 'Midnight Moonlight' in the 80's
PLEASE DO A HOW TO PLAY IN THAT
Re-tune your guitar to DADGAD tuning. It's a modal tuning used for celtic, indian and arabic music. Page called it CIA tuning in the 70's.
@@chrishorton615 CIA? Why 😂
Chris Horton any specific scales he runs along in this song?
@@SeamusFries CIA is the acronym for Celtic, Indian and Arabic
@@SeamusFries (C)eltic. (I)ndian. (A)rabic.
I can’t believe how spot on this is....amazing!!!!
Just came across this … I think of all the hours I put into Black Mountain Side . I can only imagine how much practice you put into this one … well done.
that guitar looks familiar too - well done!
I think your fast vibrato really adds a lot to this song. Jimmy would be proud!
Everyone always would ask guitar players: 'Can you play Stairway To Heaven?' - 😐
Hehee! Great job love White Summer ☺!
Awesome tune.Fantastic rendition.Well done.
Badass cover - always wanted to learn this and am gonna go for it finally.
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Great quote of Midnight moonlight, and great cover ! Thanks for all :-)
well done man! i warms my heart to see young guys playin' Jimmy!
I'm blown away
Wow..
Great playing and awesome musical approach to this piece!
You really developed a truly remarcable confidence in performing!
Keep up with the nice grooves, man!
Great! camera angle using the Fish bowl view and wondrous playing on the your Danelectro DC 59 and your done the original well done version on this jimmy page theme justice. Lets have more material from you regarding jimmy page instrumentals
Quite incredible, great tone and acoustics in that room are pretty nice
Always loved that piece. Good job.
awesome, i wish play this song like you some day!!
This is tight 🤘 liked and subscribed
Very nice---great interpretation--good choices and many thanks for posting!!
Something about those Dano’s. Great playing sir.
Beautiful ❤

I saw one today 1/10/2020 in a pawn shop.....Gator Skin Heaven Hawk. $329.00. Not counting 20 percent off of this price during this month of January.
5:23
That slide is beautiful!
With some Midnihgt moonlight in there around 8:00?
That is really well done!
One last thing : I wonder if Jimmy saw it, and your right hand is amazing :-)
Sounds like the original recording minus Bonzo's drums...
Sounds just like Page. Great job
It even looks like Jimmy’s hands! You are exquisite!
this is phenomenal!!
Great control!
Such a fun tuning to play, must be a blast playing this on a Danelectro tho. Nice job!
Excellent. It’s a shame you didn’t have Bonzo backing you
Man, you even look like Page a bit. very good job. very authentic sound
Page is a cat difficult to copy. Very, very well done. You did it.
Just Amazing. Are you sure you were not there in 1969 in person.
Amazing
Ya man, killer! There sure is a lot of guitar to learn in this so I can totally see the work ya put in! Loved the little bit of swan song/midnight moonlight in there too! 🎸
Awesome job 👍
Most excellent Bro!
you nailed it bro.
Great job!
Thank you !
Jimmy is the best all around player, acoustic, 12 string acoustic and electric and all the different turnings sometimes live he can be a little sloppy on solos but it still sound great.
Great 😊 improvisation thanks 🙏
Jimmy Page would approve
Nailed it.
This is great and you can tell you put a lot of practice into it.

...there is a time and a place for either/or--up or down, I'd say he's doing just fine the way he's doing it now.
Beautiful :)
you got it !
really good!
Made that Danelectro sing!
+walman16 I try my best! need to get a proper fender tube amp or a vox to really make her sing though.
+Siegfried Kaufmann White Summer takes a lot practice just to get it right or least most of it
Wow
Wonderful!
This is amazing, do you have tabs for it?
1:51 wow this is beautiful
KILLER!!!
BRAVO!!!!!!!
This is amazing. Im trying to learn it myself. How or wear did you learn it?
Bravo!
Pretty fucking badass. Good job man.
Nice cover. Very good!
killed it
Holy shit you’re incredible
The part at 2:26 gets me everytime that slide man 😍
damn good playing.
Amp settings pls and it’s tuned in DGCGCD?
Francisco Escalante Gutierrez Hmm, it was a while ago, but I think I was using my little 10watt fender solid state amp on the clean channel - every knob cranked to 11...
And yes, DADGAD
Well Played Sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EXCELENTE!!!
How did you get that sound?? It sounds like Sitar...
Very nice job indeed.
+Lukestar1991 Thank you kind sir!
Bonus points if you can slide Kashmir after this
please, teach us
Has this been sent to Jimmy Page?
This video needs to be sent to Jimmy Page - b 4 - it can't b
Where did you get that Danelectro?

lmao... can see the curve of the earth in your top string from 1 metre
what gauge strings are you using ? :)
Awesomeee tab pls
what scale is used on this song?, in what key? plz tell me exactly, im a beginner.
It's tuned to DADGAD, messing around with the 0-2-4 patterns will get you similar stuff to the intro
+John Wallent oh ya, i get it, the guitar is tuned on dadgad, but what kind of scale he uses to play it?

Nice job. But it's a bit slow.

Sounds so GOOD.!!!!
