I'd be happy to have a similar breakdown for _"Tea for One"_ off "Presence", which I think is often skipped over because it's in a similar vein as _"Since I've Been Loving You",_ but I think it's an excellent song.
It is one of the greatest songs ever, and definitely the best song Led Zep ever recorded. They never sounded better than on Since I've Been Loving You.
I already agree and have been saying this is the rockinist blues song of all time. Its also one of my top 3 favorite Zep songs ever. Never get tired of hearing it.
When they are playing this in TSRTS film, pay attention during the solo, when the big balloon is shown bouncing around the audience. The lick Page plays is one my all-time favorite blues lick. It just DRIPS off the guitar like honey.
Carl is a magician. He has worked so hard to understand the secret of Led Zep. This is so incredible. As many of you, the song that this in your brain forever once you hear it from the first time.
To answer your question: YES! Yes this is the greatest blues rock song EVER! I have been saying this for a very long time! No other blues song by a rock band comes close-like you said, it is in another stratosphere!!
Had this album when I was 16 or so...went out to the back yard one day, not thinking of a thing, just sitting on my tree swing...and this song came into my head. I went back into the house, put the record on the player, and...whoa. I realized that this was one of the best tracks I had ever heard in my young life - out of the blue, so to speak. Still love it at 61.
Hello and thankyou Carl for your confirmation of what Ii always knew from the moment I first played this album as a budding rock guitarist and singer atr14 years of age.in 1970's UK..I saw them live in their heyday in 1973. Their best song and the best crafted guitar solo of any rock band still chills 54 years on as I try to arrange a version for my band. It is fitting tribute to the master that only now do think I have the skills to pull it off! Your tutorials for all their songs are inciteful and delivered with an obvious passion and love for the people and times in which they lived and worked. I WAS THERE! and so glad that you understand their significance and can share your musical knowledge and talent to help us all.
Another great analysis, this is my all time very favorite Zep song, and agree that it is perhaps Page's best studio solo ever! The only comment is that the importance of Bonham's fills in the final part of the song is understated. Thanks again.
This song, long one of my favorites, has been bringing me to tears for decades. I very much appreciate Mr. Baldasarre’s references to classical music as I’ve often thought of this as piece as having the emotive power of such monumental works as Durufle’s Ubi Caritas, Mozart’s Dies Irae, Stanford’s Beati Quorum Via, and Bach’s Crucifixus. It’s just that powerful. I think it transcends the genre.
haha, yeah. once you notice the squeaking sounds, you can never unhear that again. especially in the beginning seconds of the song. like the screaming sounds of bonham in 'whole lotta love'. they'll always stick out and catch my attention.
I love the context and history you present here. I always felt this was the best Zeppelin song of all time. The guitar solo has the most feeling of frustration, pain, love, and anguish I’ve ever heard. You feel all of it. A true blues masterpiece.
This song is on another level, but so was each member of the band and it comes through from beginning to end. Fantastic breakdown Carl, it makes it even more special learning how it all gets put together. Amazing!
Thanks for sharing my all time favorite band with us. You are a great teacher. you're motivating me to pick up the guitar again and work on the solos. You're playing is just great also you are up there with the eternal genius of Page and his mind blowing music craftmanship it is in fact the greatest blues song of all time it represents the best progresive blues rock.
This song used to scare me, but now I love it, Like what song can embark so many emotions inside you. it's so crazy! Love the breakdown too, so many subtle things u never realize.
Wow, what a tour de force of a song review! I could listen all day! Carl, your love of music and deep technical knowledge, combined with the gems from your research into the historical details and anecdotes provides an utterly engrossing experience. On top of that, you absolutely channel Jimmy in your playing. You've shed such light on one of my lifetime favourite songs. It IS the greatest blues guitar song of all time, and I love it even more now. Thank you!
The best thing for me about videos like this is seeing someone speaking their appreciation of the same particular aspects and points of interest of a song that I notice and appreciate myself. I’m a musician and I fear that non-musicians are deaf to these things.
I am an english speaking, non musical fan of Led Zeppelin. Listening to you explain the music behind one of my favourite songs is like listening to someone talking a foreign language. BUT, I was simply transfixed ! I have just retired and as someone who has always liked listening to music, especially electric guitar, but had absolutely no musical talent whatsoever, your videos are tempting me to go out and buy a guitar and get some lessons.
This music directly affected our teenage minds with actual appreciation of the arts. I remember my friend mimicking "it's a drag, drag, drag, dtag.... ahhh...it makes a drag" and appreciating the true expression. Here's one song I wish Mozart could have heard.
My favorite song of all time. I love the solo and am always amazed that guys so young could come up with such beauty. At the end of the live version on TSRTS Robert says “Jimmy Page, guitar”. I think this is because even he was like “Damn! That was impressive guitar playing”. This was a great breakdown.
This composition is an absolute masterpiece, as was your analysis and explanation and superb feel you gave whilst playing. Everybody on Earth should listen to this song, even if only once in their lifetime. My father was a jazz musician and said to me the only music i like, that you play [on vinyl] is Queen and that slow blues one by Led Zeppelin! That to me, summed up which was the best track, to a seasoned musician's ears. I wish my father was here to watch you break down this piece, he would have loved it. Sorry for the long comment, very emotional song for me, which to this day, i cannot listen to it all the way through. I'm 57 and it still rips my heart out. Thankyou.
One of the things that has always struck me about this song is how up front the drums are, and Plant is almost buried in the mix at times. I still am looking forward to a breakdown of No Quarter. Thanks Carl!
to me Plant sounds his best when he gets buried, swamped by the tide, he pushes through & his voice is distorted thru the maelstrom like thru some kind of feral guitar stomp box...the voice as another instrument
Really awesome. I love hearing your analysis of the chords. I've always been in awe of this song in terms of it living squarely in the blues idiom while simultaneously sounding fresh and innovative.
I'm in a quite ... "emotional" state of mind right now (in a good way) - yes, it's like you said in one of your earlier videos: the difference between hearing a song and listening to a song. I just noticed that for over 30 years now, I wasn't *listening* to "Since I've been" enough (I *heard* it on an almost daily basis). Well, that changed (the "not-listening"-part). Thank you for your giving me more and more insights, I very, very much appreciate it. Oh, and keep your smile and very positive mood in your videos, your vibes are just so great! :)
Wonderful analysis. Hats off to Carl! I purchased the LP the day it was released- I was a senior in high school. Still have and play it often- just played the Page reissued version on my iPhone through my HiFi system… times change, but some things are classic. Really enjoy your LZ videos. Peace.
I remember when I was seventeen and bought the *_Led Zeppelin The Song Remains The Same_* DVD which was the live concert at Madison Square Garden in 1976. The whole thing blew my mind, but _"Since I've Been Loving You"_ gave me chills. I ended up going out and buying an Єpipɧoɳe 𝓛𝓮𝓼 𝓟𝓪𝓾𝓵 just because of that song.
Thank you Carl. Your breakdown was so enlightening . This song has haunted me (in a good way) my whole life. SIBLY has and will be my favorite Led Zeppelin track of all time.
Very very interesting. I was once asked to write an article for a mental health newsletter about 10 years ago. I'm an engineer not a author, but when it was published it just stopped everyone who read it. Even some with degrees considered it probably the finest piece of English literature ever. A couple of months ago I was listening to Since I was Loving You, there was a familiarity to it. I realised my piece had a almost identical 'format' to Since I've Been Loving You. I have spent 2 days days deconstructing both works. I'll type it up as a finished piece over winter. I have found this video absolutely fascinating as I can identify with the content coming from a different perspective. Eg where you talk of an inversion of a chord, I deliberately changed the order of words so even though they still make sense literally they give a different and unique feel. I might even make a TH-cam video that will compliment yours. How the lyrics and overall format work with the chords etc.
Omg I've been working in this song off and on for 6 months, trying to get faster and cleaner, and waiting for this song to get your special treatment. What a treat, THANK YOU!
Thanks Carl for clarifying a few mysteries to this song. In my opinion, this is the best song ever, and arguably the best guitar solo. The texture and emotion that Page puts into this is unequalled. If I can master playing this I would die happy. 🙏🙏🙏
I had been a Zep fan since the fall of '69 but this most soulful of slow blues/rock floored me beginning my freshman year in college. Let me add there were some tremendous songs in the fall of '70!
Thank you for the thought that goes into your content, and thank you for your generous answers to questions I posted on previous uploads (I’m still working on improving my pocket). This channel really is something special. I always feel inspired to play with the ideas presented, just to see where they lead me creatively. All the very best, good sir.
It’s impossible for me to identify one Zeppelin song as my favorite but this is on the short list, along with Tea for One, Stairway, Kashmere, Battle of Evermore, No Quarter…
Once again you nailed it down professor... I always learn some aspects of JP I never knew before.. Because of this series.. Can't thank you enough for this great treasure trove of everything you bring to TH-cam... You ROCK Dude!
Thank you Nick!! I’m so glad you’re liking the content. I know you’re a serious student and if I’m able to please you, I’m on the right path! Blessings my brother! Carl
Led Zeppelin still lives in their music and in our hearts, and may they one day reform, those that remain, to relive a bit of the magic akin to the past.
Great stuff Jimmy did with the chord progression and lead and Robert with his singing, it almost sounds like a Janice I love that organ sound from John and John Bonhams drumming really good
Great analysis. Since I've Been Loving You is often overlooked in the Led Zeppelin popular imagination but it's always been my very favorite. And you are right, all 4 members are at their very best.
Blows me away Carl the way you've basically broke down this classic Led Zep song to it's bare bones giving it a fabulous insight and new appreciation of the band's brilliance. Your tone is absolutely amazing, IMO the perfect hard rock electric guitar sound.
Holy flash Back !!! Nice work ! I'm 13 in '70 and would meet up at a friends house with some other guys to catch the bus to Jr High. This guy had an older brother who not only had LZ III but PG FM stuff. That was beyond me but Since I've Been Loving You brought tears to my eyes. oh, i already and LZ I and II then (thanx KMPX). First concert, LZ, Kezar, '74. A DJ i dug locally (KRQR and all) said Jimmy had trouble with his amps and used something he hadn't used in years and got this in one take. I like to think it was the Supro. To be honest, i prefer the memories :)
I read somewhere that zeppelin ( and page /plant) played this at every show from the first time they played it to their very last show in Germany in 1980. Then page and plant revisited it during their reunion from 1994- 2000ish, and at the o2 in 2007. Which I now know the first performance was on January 7 1970. Ironically this was 17 days before I was born. Your analysis was spot on. I agree with the person who requested an analysis of Tea for One. I would also add I’m gonna crawl from in thru the outdoor. Interestingly page and plant did play tea for one while on tour in the 1990’s. There is a funny video from Japan where the drummer Mike Lee messed up at the end of the intro. They Stopped and laughed . Robert said it was their first attempt at it. They then proceeded to play a spectacular version of it.Thanks for your videos. I’m a huge zeppelin and jimmy page fan.
For me Pages finest solo the groove is ‘ Zeppelin’ even down to the squeaky hi hat !! Thanks Carl for your wonderfully detailed observations on a song I’ve never tired of listening to reading other comments Plants voice and phrasing is exceptional ( Janis Joplin ) with the timing of Bonzo and Jones perhaps I’m biased ( I am ) equals Hendrix Red House Diolch yn Fawr Carl
Nice Carl. I play the backward rake on the F @ 13th fret also. You nailed it nice ! I liked the function substitution chord chart and the distinguishing of the Ab Major with the C minor having 2 notes in common. I love that stuff ! I enjoy watching you break down challenging artists like Jimmy Page. Today I was working on Bohemian Rhapsody and fell I needed to spice up the guitar a bit by learning the piano parts that lead with the chord progression - The G-Bb-Eb to F#-A-Eb to F#-G#-Eb to the Bb Maj chord. Keep up the great work Maestro !

The best broken heart song of all time definitely
Man, it was not a TH-cam video, it was a Masterclass !!! Huge ! Thanks !
Yes! Best blues song. Best rock song. Best song ever!!!
In my mind, maybe the finest LZ song. All 4 members are wonderful and essential. What a collaboration.
I'd be happy to have a similar breakdown for _"Tea for One"_ off "Presence", which I think is often skipped over because it's in a similar vein as _"Since I've Been Loving You",_ but I think it's an excellent song.
I prefer Tea For One...I find Since I’ve Been Loving You a bit histrionic.
I'm in the same camp. I feel like Tea for One is the grown-up, bruised and healed, mature version of SIBLY.
I can't decide between these two both brilliant. and try hard to play the solos.
I prefer TFO honestly. The dynamics on the guitar solo is unbelievable. He's whispering so softly that you have to really pay attention. ❤️
Written in the same key and Page never played exactly the same solo twice live ,he interchanged phrases between the two songs a lot .
The break where Plant sings "I saaaiiiiid I been crryyyyyiiiiinn!" has to be the greatest moment in rock n roll. Thanks for the lesson dude!
It is one of the greatest songs ever, and definitely the best song Led Zep ever recorded. They never sounded better than on Since I've Been Loving You.

Carl is a magician. He has worked so hard to understand the secret of Led Zep. This is so incredible. As many of you, the song that this in your brain forever once you hear it from the first time.
The might be the best song ever written imo…god it’s so damn good. I could listen to it a million times and it would never get old
Just hearing the intro of the song give me goosebumps
It's good to see people showing what they know on Jimmy's playing cause I've just been watching the 1977 live video over and over again.
My favorite Led Zeppelin song, my favorite Jimmy Page guitar solo and my favorite Robert Plant vocal. The perfect package!
That’s all that needs to be said!
Sadly Jeff Beck passed away today. That leaves us with just Jimmy Page. Thank you Carl for documenting the genius of Jimmy Page. One of a kind.
To answer your question: YES! Yes this is the greatest blues rock song EVER! I have been saying this for a very long time! No other blues song by a rock band comes close-like you said, it is in another stratosphere!!
I couldn't agree more
it was 1970 - where in the hell did that solo come from ??
it's like it just dropped from another dimension
Had this album when I was 16 or so...went out to the back yard one day, not thinking of a thing, just sitting on my tree swing...and this song came into my head.

@CarlBaldassarreMusic : THE "GREATEST blues rock song of all time" ...absolutly ! I never get tired of listening to this masterpiece.
Dudes had a knack of creating new sounds and feels for every song...every album.....thats genius....
Still brings me to tears over fifty years after I first heard it. Lots of teenage angst!!!
Me too!

As this is my favorite Zep song...and my favorite Page solo...I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks.
Thank you!
This song, long one of my favorites, has been bringing me to tears for decades. I very much appreciate Mr. Baldasarre’s references to classical music as I’ve often thought of this as piece as having the emotive power of such monumental works as Durufle’s Ubi Caritas, Mozart’s Dies Irae, Stanford’s Beati Quorum Via, and Bach’s Crucifixus. It’s just that powerful. I think it transcends the genre.
Thank you!!
The Song Remains The Same Version still sends shivers down my spine. Squeaky Kick Pedal Pagey could never fix. Amazing video Carl!
haha, yeah. once you notice the squeaking sounds, you can never unhear that again. especially in the beginning seconds of the song. like the screaming sounds of bonham in 'whole lotta love'. they'll always stick out and catch my attention.
It’s them all at their finest!
Thank you!
Fantastic explanation of what made a great song Great! I would love to see you, do. Edgy clip for achilles last and.
"That's my parlour trick". No, your parlour trick is absolutely nailing these breakdowns and this was no exception. Amazing!
Thank you!!!
This is one of those songs that still gives me a chill down my leg.
Me too!
Finally!! Someone calls this what it is! One of the best blues solos and songs ever! Feeling is knowing…

One of my top 5 songs to play on guitar, I just love it. Thanks so much for all the great information and the breakdown. It was excellent.
It's not only a great explanation but your passion sells it more. Ty
I've loved this song since I bought ZePPeLiN lll when it was released. And it just never gets old.
Same!!!
I think the most underrated and overlooked part of the song is the kick drum sound. It just crushes right through your soul! It’s so heavy.
Especially the squeak it makes
When I first heard this in the 70s it blew me away. Especially when he slowed down the lead. It was perfect. Thanks Carl. Totally I agree.

I'm 13 in '70 and would meet up at a friends house with some other guys to catch the bus to Jr High.
This guy had an older brother who not only had LZ III but PG FM stuff.
That was beyond me but Since I've Been Loving You brought tears to my eyes.
oh, i already and LZ I and II then (thanx KMPX). First concert, LZ, Kezar, '74.
A DJ i dug locally (KRQR and all) said Jimmy had trouble with his amps and used something he hadn't used in years and got this in one take. I like to think it was the Supro.
To be honest, i prefer the memories :)
Awesome story! Thank you! I hope you subscribed?!
My favorite zeppelin song
Hey your probably the best guitar TH-camr out there, great videos!
Thanks Adam. I’m not worthy of that, but I give it all I’ve got!
The arpeggiated chords in the third verse behind Plant’s vocals have always been my favorite part of this song
Also love the passion for this song, it oozes out of the video.
No doubt when I saw the title. This is real Mississippi blues.
Lovely breakdown of such a stellar slow blues song! Appreciate all you do, please continue to shine your insight on such a timeless band.
Thank you for breaking down the song. It is one of my favorite songs and a must have on any playlist. It takes you on a musical journey.
Thanks for listening
I love this song. I first learned it at 16, 40 years ago. I still love playing it.
Definitely my favourite Led Zep song, thanks for the details.
My pleasure!
I read somewhere that zeppelin ( and page /plant) played this at every show from the first time they played it to their very last show in Germany in 1980. Then page and plant revisited it during their reunion from 1994- 2000ish, and at the o2 in 2007. Which I now know the first performance was on January 7 1970. Ironically this was 17 days before I was born.
Your analysis was spot on. I agree with the person who requested an analysis of Tea for One. I would also add I’m gonna crawl from in thru the outdoor. Interestingly page and plant did play tea for one while on tour in the 1990’s. There is a funny video from Japan where the drummer Mike Lee messed up at the end of the intro. They Stopped and laughed . Robert said it was their first attempt at it. They then proceeded to play a spectacular version of it.Thanks for your videos. I’m a huge zeppelin and jimmy page fan.
For me Pages finest solo the groove is ‘ Zeppelin’ even down to the squeaky hi hat !! Thanks Carl for your wonderfully detailed observations on a song I’ve never tired of listening to reading other comments Plants voice and phrasing is exceptional ( Janis Joplin ) with the timing of Bonzo and Jones perhaps I’m biased ( I am ) equals Hendrix Red House

Nice Carl. I play the backward rake on the F @ 13th fret also. You nailed it nice ! I liked the function substitution chord chart and the distinguishing of the Ab Major with the C minor having 2 notes in common. I love that stuff ! I enjoy watching you break down challenging artists like Jimmy Page. Today I was working on Bohemian Rhapsody and fell I needed to spice up the guitar a bit by learning the piano parts that lead with the chord progression - The G-Bb-Eb to F#-A-Eb to F#-G#-Eb to the Bb Maj chord. Keep up the great work Maestro !
