I've entered my guitar journey 2 months ago. I have watched many videos, I admit I learned something. BUT YOU in 2 weeks have tought me SO MUCH MORE! Your personality, mood, good cheer, just make one want to love music more! I have a practice routine, I keep a time slot for noodling, jamming to a backing track, and just plain old learning. I see you have been at this for a chunk of your life, and I must say Mr. Justin, what a great service to the world you give. God Bless You!
Justin is the best. For an alternative view (and some different lessons ) check out Marty Music. He's different, of course but good. He also brings in his teacher for some lessons. No disrespect to Justin, just more knowledge is better, no?
Great lesson. On the start of the main riff, I think Jimmy does a very slight bend on the 5th string and 5th fret (D note) and plays together with and open D (4th) string. It gives the D note a slight dissonance to emphasize it.
The riffy part - you need to hit the D on the fifth string and the open D on the fourth string together or simultaneously. As you do that, you bend upward the D note on the fifth string (so the open D on the fourth string can ring out) and vibrato the D on the fifth string.
excellent but if you bend that first D a little and match it with the open D, it souns more like the led zep 2 version. it gives it that weir sound. love your sg sound
Best one I have heard yet. PDG. I found my own way of strumming the chord that sounds just as good with less hand movement. It's up and down and you select which notes to play. Also must use a little damping with your right hand on the bridge. You just play the individual notes kind of up and down. Hard to explain but it sounds really good. You can hear the picking direction when you listen carefully.
You absolutely NAILED the tone for this one. It’s so iconic, yet so many people can’t get it right(and not a Vox solid state amp in sight). There’s all kinds of debate on what guitar and pick up is used but I think you have answered those questions:it was his Les Paul, on the bridge PU and reverb with a pre-delay.
Studio version sounds like bridge pickup..Live it's always Middle. There is footage of it on TSRTS and one sees Jimmy adjusting the Neck Vol control during the riff... Same with Rock and Roll live . Main body of song is middle position.
That “2nd part” is the difficult part so I’m glad you shared your version. I’ve had some other songs with difficult parts and I find that if I start and finish on the same notes and always hit those root notes, it’ll be ok.
I like how you put the 1 or 2 rhythm punches on the low E & A strings, power chords, between the lead lick phrases. Haven’t seen that on any tutorials before. Okay so maybe they were overdubs by Jimmy, but they certainly effective here. You are not the average guy. I like that. Thanks for the great opening demo.
Another great lesson from Justin. The amazing Joe walsh on his lesson Les paul set up. Explains how he finally worked out what jimi was playing on the intro to this song. On the A string 5th fret bend sharp and play the open D string at the same time to get that sound! followed with the E power chord.
I seen a video where joe walsh show'd how to push the a string 5th fret up a hair to allow a distant d note between it and the open d string on the main riff. Sounds gorgeous.
Justin, another great lesson! I’ve spent the past 3 days focused on this song and Hey Joe (another great lesson by you!). So much overlap but such different sounds. Thanks for breaking down this solo (as well as the one on Hey Joe). Always enjoy your lessons and your teaching style.
Great information and lesson! I’ve watched several lessons on this song but yours has been the most informative and enjoyable one yet. I just wish that I could play a fraction as well as you can but I am practicing every day and trying real hard.
Yep, almost everyone I've watched misses it. Only a handful hear it and play it. Such a crucial element to get that huge sound of the riff as Jimmy intended
The trouble is mostly they're just repeating what somebody else is telling them...that person may or may not be wrong but life's too short in my opinion!
just have watched the first 5 minutes and have to say... that again this is a stellar lesson 👍 that the sound you have dialed in is perfect for this song imo 👍 ...ok I'll go on now with the lesson :)
On the original recording the guitar tracks are obviously layered so you might hear 2 or more layers at anyone time not just one. On the Rock Band ogg multi track for example you have stems for main, solo and guitar overdubs which consists of mainly strange effects used underneath the main track. Its well known Pagie used both Les Paul and a Telecaster on recordings so you have more than one tone variation its not all one single guitar track this come over clear when you listen to the Rock Band ogg and the mixdowns (Various versions are out there I have 3 including one called showcase) more so than when you listen to the actual album ! I'm using Adams Studio Monitors and the multi track stems and various mixdowns sound incredible.
Thank you for all you do Justin. I sit back and learn from you without saying anything. Absolutely not a better guy to learn from than you. Happy new Year to ya!
Hey Justin, Is that a authentic 61 SG or a custom shop replica? Great Tutorial, a dive in Soundeffects and how to not overdue them. A little here and a little there to get the dirty Sound.❤

Hi Justin been watching you for about 3 years now, I really like your teaching style and have learned alot from you . I was wondering if you would consider doing some more Elliot Smith songs. I really liked your previous Elliot Smith lessons. Thanks for another great year of teaching guitar and giving people the gift of music!
Jimmy used a small Supro Amp with no effects that was completely overdriven. As an aside, Jimmy wasn’t always 100% accurate on a lot of his speed stuff. That was a part of his style.
dude ...that was bad ass.... u r da man! thanks justin....ur o.k. . Ill call Page for ya and see if the album is down strokes or alt. picking ...no worries mate.

Started with Justin 2 years ago, can confirm!
Wish I had a teacher like him 30+ years ago, when I was stuck with piano in music school...
Thank you! Wishing you all the very best. Cheers.
Well said! 👍👍👍

@@raiderjohnthemadbomber8666 Sure, whatever rocks your world.
Thing is when you go on talking you are giving a ton of knowledge, I really appreciate hearing the wisdom.
Great lesson. On the start of the main riff, I think Jimmy does a very slight bend on the 5th string and 5th fret (D note) and plays together with and open D (4th) string.
It gives the D note a slight dissonance to emphasize it.
You’re absolutely right. In fact, I’d say that’s what makes the riff so special. Well done.
It may sound minor but you're so right, that little bend is so much of the feel of the riff.
You’re absolutely right,it’s subtle but it’s definitely there and things are never quite as simple as they first seem with Mr Page are they.
I came to the comment section to see if someone caught this. 90% don't plays this riff correct.
The riffy part - you need to hit the D on the fifth string and the open D on the fourth string together or simultaneously. As you do that, you bend upward the D note on the fifth string (so the open D on the fourth string can ring out) and vibrato the D on the fifth string.
what this guy said!
The Phil X tip
Agree
Exactly. This video is how not to play it.
Correct. Steve Stevens does a good demo of this and it makes all the difference
I really appreciate your thoughts throughout this lesson, please never feel like it's not appreciated. Great lesson, thanks so much for sharing.
I honestly just love the solo of Whole Lotta Love!
I'll start out with a thank you, and i'd like to add that your general aura in passing on the information is just enthusiastically spot on. Alex D
excellent but if you bend that first D a little and match it with the open D, it souns more like the led zep 2 version. it gives it that weir sound. love your sg sound
What a great guitar instructor!
thank you :)
Amazing timing! Literally went looking for Whole Lotta Love lesson this morning, and this turns up on my TH-cam feed!

Also must use a little damping with your right hand on the bridge. You just play the individual notes kind of up and down. Hard to explain but it sounds really good. You can hear the picking direction when you listen carefully.
Great lesson. It was so inspiring that I couldn't resist, I had to grab my guitar and start playing/learning. Thanks Justin!!!
You absolutely NAILED the tone for this one. It’s so iconic, yet so many people can’t get it right(and not a Vox solid state amp in sight). There’s all kinds of debate on what guitar and pick up is used but I think you have answered those questions:it was his Les Paul, on the bridge PU and reverb with a pre-delay.

thanks justin for your teaching style honest and very enjoyable
I broke a string getting bend crazy! Fun lesson Subscribed!
I love your channel. I owe most of what I learnt on guitar to you.
That “2nd part” is the difficult part so I’m glad you shared your version. I’ve had some other songs with difficult parts and I find that if I start and finish on the same notes and always hit those root notes, it’ll be ok.
Hearing that solo played slowly sounds great in itself. Cheers Justin
Rockin' in the New Year with a classic from my college days.
Sounds great.....Happy new year Justin.
I like how you put the 1 or 2 rhythm punches on the low E & A strings, power chords, between the lead lick phrases. Haven’t seen that on any tutorials before.

On the A string 5th fret bend sharp and play the open D string at the same time to get that sound! followed with the E power chord.
Exactly! It’s the key ingredient that makes the riff so memorable.
Loved your explanation on the second lick of the solo
Justin- always guaranteed accurate lessons from you! Love it!
I seen a video where joe walsh show'd how to push the a string 5th fret up a hair to allow a distant d note between it and the open d string on the main riff. Sounds gorgeous.
SUPER STRONG - FANTASTIC LESSON!

You are just the best Justin!!! Sat pm check in on you tube and your lesson came up first!!
not only a great teacher, but a great guitar player!!!
The tone on riff sounds right on
Great practical lesson for a gigging player. Well done. 🎸
Phenomenal lesson. Nailed a very tricky solo.
loved the lesson as always Justin. cheers!!
Thank you! :)
Oh yeah. I'm gonna learn some Led Zeppelin now. Thanks for all your lessons.
Nice: Just starting out on electric' that just noched up my enthusiasm by 20 noches. GREAT SOUND.
Such a good choice Justin. Sounds great. I'll have fun learning that riff. Haven't been practicing for a while. Need to get back into it.
Thank you and Happy New Year!
What a lovely SG!!!
Intro was so fantastic that I had to watch whole lesson. Thanks.
When I was 15 this was the first song my Mom wanted me to learn. Decades later, perhaps I'll finally do it a small bit of justice. Thanks!!
Bravissimo Justin, thanks for this lesson, the main lick has so much energy! Ciao da Milano
🙏 Which better way for starting a new brand year ! 🔥 Oh Yeaaaaaaaaah... Life bless you, Justin 😉
The BB box is very useful in the solo.
You are so wonderful for teaching us..
Justin happy new year and thank you for this and all the other amazing things gs you do. Here's hoping we hear you sing more next year!
Fantastic lesson
Don't forget the bend on the A string on the main riff that gets the jet sound
Yep, almost everyone I've watched misses it. Only a handful hear it and play it. Such a crucial element to get that huge sound of the riff as Jimmy intended
Thank you! you got me rocking on tis one. its a lot simpler than it sounds. thanks to you now I can impress some friends lol
Thank you for the lesson . I think I got it down. was big achievement for me .
Great song to choose Justin and wow, that SG is something else
Great job Justin.
Thank you for making the videos possible to download 🙏
Happy New Year Justin...rock on!
Thank you Justin
That was really great
Stay safe
Excellent! However it highlights how important the bass and drums were without forgetting those hellacious vocals
Nice to see the SG back in action :) Thanks so much for the lesson
Great lesson, of course the expert air guitar players will knit pick.
The trouble is mostly they're just repeating what somebody else is telling them...that person may or may not be wrong but life's too short in my opinion!
just have watched the first 5 minutes and have to say...
that again this is a stellar lesson 👍
that the sound you have dialed in is perfect for this song imo 👍
...ok I'll go on now with the lesson :)
Great lesson! Thanks Justin 🍀
Happy new year
Nice lesson Thanks for sharing!
I wish there was a lesson about that crazy riff jimmy page played at the end of the live version
havent watched the lesson yet, But Know it will be good, Happy new year Justin cheers
Happy new year!
Man this is such a great lesson
Don’t worry, you’re the master 🙏🏼
Finally you play something bad ass.
GRANDE JUSTIN🎸
Can't think of a more cool song to learn on a New Year's Eve or New Year's Day! 👍👍👍
Great song and great lesson. Thanks.
Er hat den Groove im Blut.Hut ab 👏💪♥️👊🇩🇪

he hasn't replied in all these months so I guess probably won't.
Great Guirar teacher

More zeppelin please!

The alternate picking sounds exactly, if you listen to it slowed down it can be heard
