Jimmy is in touch with things no one should seek. Heroin. Truck with demons. Remove those things. There are really old musics from the Celts that are like this song. Then there is his raw talent and heritage. Then there is the time and place where it was written. All of these things come into play. A person living in modern day Syria could not make up a place like Rivendell. The flavor would be all wrong.
Dear Mr. Shanahan, I am 65 years old. I heard Jimmy Page play that version of it in Seattle in 1970. It has been in my mind almost every day of my life. That being the only live recording since Blueberry Hill, I never figured out the tuning, much less the actual fingerlings. After 45 years of thinking and listening to it, and it being my favorite guitar solo, Little Martha being second and easy to play, well, I broke down when I saw this, never thought I'd be able to ever play Bron yr aur. I have shared this with my still living guitar friends, and they are all knocked out, some never even hearing it at all on Physical Graffiti. I am now terribly disabled, unable to even walk for more than 5 minutes. So for a shut in this hit me hard, I am still learning it from you and am almost there. When I tried to explain the harmonics part, no-one really got me. Now they know I wasn't kidding. After 45 years of talking about it, here it is. THANK YOU, Sir. I have had a huge life, and now that I am unable to be involved with most of life, well, this puts a cap on it. SJ
This song touch the soul like nothing else Ive ever heard, just completely beautiful from the first note to the last. This will be played at my funeral. Jimmy Page is incredible and is my alltime favorite guitarist.
i cant believe... when you play that harmonics as Jimmy Page did in that beautiful live version of BRON YR AUR. Probably BEST COVER of this song. congratulations
Absolutely Beautiful!!! The Cliche' "Music to My Ears" is literally so true when hearing this Amazing Song written by the Great Jimmy Page! Perfect cover of The Most Beautiful Guitar Instrumental ever.
@@DougShanahanMusic Those harmonic picks ive been battling with for years & i ws doing it wrong :D NO ONE on You Tube covers the harmonic picks m8 & i could try all day & not nail it once ,in fact the ONLY version with picks on You Tube - is the live show from 1975 i think ,Kudos m8 its awesome
Just beautiful! I never heard this particular version before. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written and you performed it beautifully ❤
Really well done! One of very favorite pieces of music ever written. Will be played at my funeral. I hope Jimmy has seen this at some point. Quite certain he’d be impressed.
I am so glad this older version is coming to light once again. I've only heard it once or twice before and I absolutely love it. A beautiful cover version. Thank you!
Ok .. I have been so addicted to this guitar solo piece by JP that I am listening this in a loop for last one year. Yet more I listen to this the more beautiful it gets and very calming and a bit of tense feeling that keeps you loving this guitar artwork. And hands down Doug, you have played it so beautifully that You got a huge huge respect of mine. You're a legend.
An extraordinary cover - you make it look almost effortless. Perfect tone, timing, dynamics, the additional sections sound like they've always been there, in short, a masterful performance. It's enough to make you believe that given enough time and practice, an ordinary human being could play it! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Simply the best cover I’ve ever seen. Masterfully played. This is my favorite guitar solo of all time…and you nailed it. Simply awesome! I hope to one day learn to play this. I’m just getting started with guitar lessons, and this here is my ultimate goal. Thank you for sharing this.
Only a few people really acknowledge the harmonics part and for me, that was the magic there, I've seen a different version of it and by far this is the perfect replica! 2022 and still listening to it!
Love this song and the tuning ...learned it years ago 😅 my friend chucky was like how the fluff 😅that was by ear😮then i relearned it in the corect tuning😂🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸☮️♾️😎
So Beautiful!!! Just one of the most amazing sounds and songs that I want to hear... Just So Beautiful! Thank you Jimmie Page... and Thank you Doug Shanahan!!! God Bless you!
Absolutely wonderful Doug! Just like Steve Buffington... I thought about this song so many times, years, decades... thinking it would be like HEAVEN playing it... to _master it_ ... thought that it would be some nearly impossible piece to play... sounded like 2 guitars??? took me about 40 years to get it together and learn how to play it--- by a chance flipping through a guitar magazine one day at the grocery store... *_THERE IT WAS. BRON-YR-AUR TAB STARING ME IN THE FACE_* Tabbed by Wolf Marshall. I just stood there and stared at in sort of a Dazed and Confused state... I had stumbled upon the proverbial Pot of Gold. A mere mortal holding _the_ tab in his hands, and took it home all for the measly price of the magazine. Best thing I ever did. No more excuses!! It's a super-accurate TAB, and I play along with the studio recording note-for-note. It's got a slick backward arpeggio in one spot, and a few other neat nuances that you won't believe are there until you play along just like Jimmy. Thanks so much to Doug for the elusive harmonic part tutorial, too!!! Gotta get that up to speed and add it to the studio recording. I can BREATHE DEEPLY now!!! I will get a video up on TH-cam of me playing the studio recorded version, and if anyone is interested, I can show them how to play it via FaceTime, etc.
Wow. Great story. Thank you. I'm glad it helped. I had a similar experience as well. I remember trying to learn it when I first started out and was doing it in standard tuning because I didn't know it was in a different tuning. Years ago I found the tab online. Then I came across the live version with the harmonics and worked it out. I'd love to see your version of it when it's done.
@@DougShanahanMusic Which tabs did you use? There are so many different versions online. Is there any chance you've put together tabs for your current version?
@@jwoodbury85 I really don't remember which tabs I used. I found some years ago online and they were accurate. It might have been from a guitar magazine. This one looks ok: www dot guitaretab dot com/l/led-zeppelin/10193.html (version 1). As far as the version I played, I figured that extra part out from the 1970 version (I link to that video in the description.) I have another video up as a tutorial of just that section because a few people asked for it. Hope this helps.
Beautiful absolutely beautiful I remember this acoustic piece when I was a kid around 12 years old in 1970 but then it was put on the album Physical Graffiti which was released in 1975 until this day I love this acoustic piece
🎶"..Do you hear what I hear?"🎶 I'm humble-shocked, at what I just listened-to and watched being played. You are amazingly-gifted, I bow-down. I have loved that 'spiritual feeling' solo, since I was a Child. (; I closed my eyes, and dare-not think, I was listening-to "James Patrick Page", it didn't work. In fact, I've never heard better. You're the "King" of, 'Control & Melodious'. Why are you, hiding in the shadows?🤔You must be a session player? You are a Master-Musician, for sure. I still have the chills. I had to wipe-away a tear. Thanks for playing-it forward, you are a humanitarian. Stay well, in these trying' times. 🇨🇦✌🏻🎶🎸♥️✨🌍💫
Great cover! I LOVE the addition you put in with the harmonics!!! I'm re-learning this one (again) but with some additions of my own now. Thanks for the inspiration!
The music is mesmerizing and takes me to a beautiful place I've created, my peaceful home by the ocean. Absolutely stunning. Thank you! Wishing you Peace, Harmony and Love.
@@DougShanahanMusic You are most welcome. I think I am not alone saying this (writing) Please post more videos displaying that amazing talent of yours. Classical, folk whatever... You have a talent that very, very few have.
Perfection, I love the part of the movie the Song Remains the Same when they're in the car heading towards Madison Square Garden and this song is playing, it's one of my favorite Zep tunes and you executed it to perfection, I tip my hat to you! Thanks so much for sharing.
Beautifully done, Doug! My 24 year old son plays guitar, and I introduced him to this song. He’s currently learning this song using your vid. 🤙 Real music lives!
Yes! This is exactly what I need. I've been trying to learn this song for weeks, but the differences among TH-cam tutorials thwart my progress. Your demo is an invaluable resource -- a Rosetta Stone. It's the perfect visual aid because you play the song the way I hear Jimmy Page did. Thank you!
This song tops the list of my favorite fingerpicking tune. My favorite of all time, really beautiful song! Jimmy Page is a genius. Ive learned to play it from all the lessons on youtube. I still cant play it at full speed. Never heard this version. My fav
Best cover I have ever heard. I would have thought it was actually JP himself if I was blindfolded…but then we never see a face in the vid. Lol Amazing!

How in the hell does someone sit down and come up with a song like this, not in my dreams could I come up with something so good.
Them British musicians were something else

Prob sitting on a hill in the fields experimenting with tuning. Also page is just a guitar god.
I would imagine by studying the playing of Bert Jansch and Davy Graham, amongst others. It IS good.
@@leftyzappa, dude, Page created this years before he began the heroin. Wrong answer!

Steve Buffington wow what a comment!!!
Steve: Your still young, what happened to you?
Please please post ur vid it don't matter. In my book, the ONLY failure in life is... Not even trying.
wonderful that this song has brought you some joy, as it does to all who hear it
This song touch the soul like nothing else Ive ever heard, just completely beautiful from the first note to the last. This will be played at my funeral. Jimmy Page is incredible and is my alltime favorite guitarist.
One year later and I still get shivers listening to this. Thank you for this experience!
Been watchin covers of Bron Yr Aur since youtube was created . . . THIS is the BEST yet . . . excellent execution, timing, flow, texture!
Thank you.
The Shut Up And Play tutorial guy has a pretty good version of this. Maybe even closer.
@@neiloshodges2816 s'how I learned it. Now I"m trying to incorporate Dougs harmonic in. Love this version.
Simply amazing! Wow!
@@neiloshodges2816 That version is also incorrect…the key to playing it correctly is to use a thumbpick and bare fingers as Page did.
Everyone's already said it, but that missing bridge--outstanding. Great job, you nailed it.
i cant believe... when you play that harmonics as Jimmy Page did in that beautiful live version of BRON YR AUR. Probably BEST COVER of this song. congratulations
oh man that blew me away,no one plays it that way they stick to the PG version
@@mcfcguvnors I made this version 11 years ago: th-cam.com/video/isSaPPUKq50/w-d-xo.html
Bravo Doug! I was lucky enough to see Mr Page at the height of his powers from a few feet away in 1973. Thank you
🌹Beautiful. I've been a LedZepHead for 50 years and this is my most beloved, no electricity needed.
💐Thanks for sharing.
Haunting. Mesmerizing. Beautiful. Always sends me to an other worldly place. Great cover.
I really can’t get over how beautiful this is
it really is.
Got three weeks to learn this for my stepdaughters wedding ……best version imaginable !!!!😅
Absolutely Beautiful!!! The Cliche' "Music to My Ears" is literally so true when hearing this Amazing Song written by the Great Jimmy Page! Perfect cover of The Most Beautiful Guitar Instrumental ever.
Thank you
Jimmy's rendition of this song, L.A. Forum, 1970- 09-04,changed my life when I first heard it. Bootleg Vinyl Lives...Oh Jimmy!
The best cover on this tune;fluid and with clean harmonics.
I love this acoustic song and “That’s The Way.” Dude, the harmonics at 1:03 blew me away! Thanks for sharing.
ive played that back about 90 times n ive nearly got it,ive played it my way for 20 years its hard 2 break habits but fuck it sounds so cool
I’m still listening to this years later. It’s the best version of this song I’ve ever heard. Very well done.
This and the rain song two of the best acoustic songs by PAGE 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸☮️♾️😎
Excellent. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed.
Thanks for sharing your excellent cover of this masterpiece
Just about the best cover of anything I've ever seen. Love it!
Thank you. Required lots of takes to get a good one.
@@DougShanahanMusic Those harmonic picks ive been battling with for years & i ws doing it wrong :D NO ONE on You Tube covers the harmonic picks m8 & i could try all day & not nail it once ,in fact the ONLY version with picks on You Tube - is the live show from 1975 i think ,Kudos m8 its awesome
@@mcfcguvnors thank you.

Wow. Captured perfectly! Just wow.
Thanks
Truly timeless classic 🥺
Really well done! One of very favorite pieces of music ever written. Will be played at my funeral. I hope Jimmy has seen this at some point. Quite certain he’d be impressed.
Thank you.
my first impression was: the song is playing in the backround, but then I realize, that you play it by yourself. Great Cover
Thanks
Best cover of this song, which I have just loved since I was a 70's kid. Haunting, hypnotic & relaxing. Dude throughs in some nice touches
Prob the best cover I’ve seen of any led zep piece
Thanks.
nice little extra in there and you really got the squeak too! Great job
Thanks
This is up the their with "reqium for john hurt" by John Fahey. Both in the same tuning aswell.
Depression-desperation-Despair, interweaved with hope-peace-happiness.
Beautiful, clean, crisp, job. Thank you for posting it, well done.
Thank you.
Just wow. Man that was an incredible rendition and I’m so glad I got to see this. Thank you sir.
Thank you.

Beautiful, one of my favorites. I just want to play this video on loop.
The use of harmonics mid-song is a true testament to your skills! Sounds identical to original. Beautiful.

One of my favorites guitar fingerpicking melodies. Thumps up! It’s often this melody that i play with my guitar as a fingers warmup.
