Thanks for posting! I’ve always loved playing this one even if it’s so simple and repetitive. I was actually surprised when I found out how easy it was to play.
those x's are dead notes... where you pluck the string with your right hand the same as normal, but lift your left hand slightly off the frets/fretboard so it does not vibrate freely and makes a percussive thud as a result.
If you watch their "official video", he's plucking. But the video appears to be just random cuts of them playing other then Robert Plant's singing so it might not even be him playing Whole Lotta Love at that moment.
I watched a rare video of JPJ explaining how he played this. Instead of A7, he player open E and A7 at the same time on the studio recording. And he said he used a pick. So there's that lol
that doesn't make any sense, so basically you're saying he played a power chord with a pick? on the bass? Just play it how you want or use my video as a guideline and don't get hung up on trying to replicate the exact tone, settings, etc from some studio recording 50+ years ago.
@@Brand73 I'm just telling you what I saw on the video. It was definitely JPJ and it was definitely him explaining in great detail what he did in the studio all those years ago. I'm not looking to beef. The video is out there.
@@Brand73 And yes, your version is helpful, for sure and I appreciate it. But it's easy to master and I thought you might enjoy hearing what JPJ had to say about how he plays it.
I try to avoid using a pick as much as possible. I find it much more natural to play without one. Please note that just because the bassist may have used a pick on the original song doesn't mean I will do the same.
@Brand73 th-cam.com/video/fIQMktyP90s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6Jkf7MwWjXe36in3 The kids who are starting off will lose the original art form from how it was played it its original. We are losing the art form of playing rock. It's Sickeing

❤💫
What do the “X’s” represent? I’m new to that type of bass tab. Please explain, thanks

@@Brand73 thanks, I’ll just have to practice that. Any resources for that style?
try playing the open E string in place of the “X”s
Brilliant. 😊
thanks!
Really cool way to play it with the dead notes. Nice 👍
thanks for watching!
Didn't JPJ played this with a pick?

I can imagine there were some instances where he didn’t have a pick and JPJ improvised
thanks for this, what a great groove.
thanks!

JPJ is my favorite!
Is it Yamaha RBX170 ?
Bass I am using is Yamaha TRBX174EW www.musiciansfriend.com/bass/yamaha-trbx174ew-mango-wood-4-string-electric-bass-guitar
Why no pick on this one? I thought that’s what he did

easiest JPJ line?
Wrong.... use a pick🙄🙄🙄🙄
you can use a pick, I don't want to 😛

The kids who use a pick will get ridiculed for using a pick, so we can't win either way.
So true😔
At least I sent you a cool video anyways 😎
Охренеть! Я могу играть как Джон Пол Джонс!)))
