      You know your stuff!! True on all counts. Can we add his impeccable sense of sartorial style as well? Most people miss how he artistically presents himself dressed as a glorious piece of living art. He had his own style of dress which always looked like he sounded! Textured, flowing and edgy. I’ll have to break out a couple of my Pagey scarves. Maybe a vintage Vera Neumann (I have several). You play how you feel and if you dress uniquely and feel great, you’ll play uniquely great!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!! I’m in early days of this social media business and appreciate if you could subscribe and pass the word by sharing. I’ll do my best not to disappoint!

    Carl, thanks for outlining and breaking down this song. It's almost impossible to comprehend how Page came up with all these exquisite compositions at such a young age. His mastery of blues guitar was just impeccable. A lot people say that Clapton was the greatest white British blues player, I don't know... The more I see Page's songs broken down and analyzed by experienced musicians as yourself, the more fascinating it really is.

    I've listened to Zep's songs so many times, they are burned into my brain...and yet, each time I watch one of your videos, I hear things I haven't heard before. I realize now that it's Zep's light/dark, soft/hard, fast/slow, build/release...that is what has made me so crazy about them my whole life. Not to be melodramatic, but they are humanity in musical form and the seed of humanity is sex, which is the creative force powering the whole thing. I hadn't thought about it this clearly until now, so thank you for making me even MORE crazy about Zep, and understanding more why I am.

    I was never the biggest Zeppelin fan (I'm a Deep Purple person actually) but I've always acknowledged their impact. I'm only now slowly delving into their repertoire and while always knowing many of the classics, I never really got to know the names, including this song. Lyrics are speaking to me right now given the situation I've recently entered into and I'm starting to feel compelled to learn this song myself.

    Nice! short but sweet sampling of another great song by Led Zeppelin . Carl you have opened up another level of how great of a genius Jimmy Page is and was. As a very young man I learned guitar so I knew this band was different right away. Not your typical 2 or 4 chord songs like a pop song . I started to learn Zeppelin songs about 1969 at age 13 from older musicians I hung around. The songs were difficult but I stuck with it and eventually graduated to more difficult songs like The Rain Song with all of it's 30 something chords. A little different from "The House Of the Rising Sun" . I used to jam with various guys and it was great times. Unfortunately as I aged into my late fifties I developed arthritis in my hands and it became too painful to enjoy. But it's channels like yours that let me play vicariously through you and other great teachers of Zeppelin. Thanks for sharing.

    Earlier that year Page acquires Joe Walsh's #2 '59 Les Paul and while touring later part of '69 tour they record between shows and when Zeppelin ll comes out it leaves the debut album in the dust and that small change launched the "Classic"
    Hard Rock and Blues sound into the stratosphere!

  • @cgab12

    Carl, you’ve achieved what I’ve always tried to do when I play Zeppelin, and that is to get inside the mind of Jimmy Page as regards musical structure, which you have done and have articulated superbly. I think Mr. Page himself would agree with your interpretations.

  • @Splattle101
    @Splattle101 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another excellent analysis, thank you. I think another important part the slide solo was the way Page changed his guitar soiund. There's three distinct tones: the first two phrases are played on the neck pickup with the vol. turned low so it's nearly clean; the next phrases (when he goes to the 12th fret) it sounds like the middle position with the neck still low, and the bridge up high; and the last part where it really screams it sounds like he's gone to bridge pickup alone, turned up high to distort. He did this sort of thing a lot. It's very prominent here, but it's also obvious in Since I've Been Loving You. In the live footage of that song you can see him manipulating the controls almost continuously.

    I really enjoyed this breakdown. This is my #1 favorite song of all time and one of my favorite songs to play and I never realized the binary arrangement on the chorus where he switches octaves on the As and Bs. I mean, I play it same way you do, but I just never realized exactly how the arrangement was structured.

    Great breakdown of all the parts and intricacies.

    That neck? I can attest the bold full square fret markers on a Les Paul have been a Carl Baldassarre trademark from the beginning. Great slide work; not easy to control and get that much expression. Yes! I've seen that Segovia clip where he imitates other instruments. Though lengthy, I would say requisite viewing for any aspiring guitarist.

    As someone who’s recently been discovering and rediscovering Led Zeppelin after never having been able to really get into their music for ages, I’m equally thrilled to have found your channel because I’m finding myself having the same exact reflections on the songwriting and especially production genius of Jimmy Page and it’s great to have someone able to articulate them so well. This is currently my favorite song of theirs and I couldn’t agree more: it’s the perfect encapsulation of their music as a whole. It’s all about dynamics and no other track shows it more or better than What Is and What Should Never Be.

  • @kevinbolton5

    Not to forget Zeppelins backup vocals on the early albums .
    There is an isolated vocal for this track and it has some reminiscing tonal quality of the beach boys .
    I would presume Page ,Jones and Bonham contributed.

  • @jeffwisener1378
    @jeffwisener1378 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think your theories on music structure of Led Zeppelin hold a key to why their riffs and leads stand out as so memorable and gratifying even decades later. The idea of Page's leads and riffs creating questions and others answers those questions make them memorable. In addition, all 4 musicians did the same on album and live. So often Bonham would respond to Jimmy's improvisational playing. Likewise Plant used his phrasing of vocals to stimulate direct feedback from the other 3 musicians. This type of free-form creativity is so spontaneous and gratifying to play and listen to and it is no wonder other songs were created during these interplay.
    Numerous famous musicians claim their most popular songs were created quickly, with spontaneous crafting of the song. Led Zeppelin never played in a static mode, always pushing and reinterpreting songs each time they played them. I believe this is a major source to their wide range of musical styles within their music catalog.
    I could be wrong but to me the death of John Bonham wasn't the only reason Plant wanted to quit the band. Along with his death a great deal of the spontaneity of the band left with him. Specifically Page began to try to recreate the magic of the past by trying to play old and new songs exactly like the past and new songs mimicked older songs. Example, tea for one much like since lve been loving you. I believe if Page was as loose and willing to interpret new sounds and songs as in the past, Plant would still be playing with him.

    "Well What's To Be, They Say Wil Be", John Bonham must have been like a Gift to Jimmy Page. Like You, this album hit me like lightening back in the early 70's, my older brother, had
    a Les Paul and an Orange Amp so, Jimmy Page was our Teacher. The light/heavy formula delivered the intensity that was conducive to my high strung demeanor, and obviously
    touched a nerve in countless others, who needed way more "Punch" to their music. Yes, for complexity, Led Zeppelin, for power, Pink Floyd, for solemnity, and Steely Dan, for whimsey.

      Yes. And it’s a very cheeky English sense of humor which I’m sure made the lads crack a smile when it tripped off of moony’s liquored tongue! The name is one of the greatest band names of all time. It works in every sense. Great visual appeal in print. I was always drawn to z’s ( x’s and y’s) as they have such angular visual stopping power! Not too mention the mouthfeel of the sound of the name when you say it. The z’s also sound a little gritty like a guitar distortion pedal! Not to mention the visual imagery of the dirigible. But I’ll leave that for others...thank you so much for commenting!!!

I thought it would be a brief episode, but I’m finding so much to say. So I’m turning over in my mind and writing it out to get the script focused. So much to see I’m that tune. Deceptive cadences, contradictory lyrics, leitmotif and of course the guitar solo which I’ve learned note for note. But I’m still formulating my message. Hang in there with me.

      John Paul Jones was a major part of the success of LZ imho. Of course all 4 were. But next time you listen to this amazing song, pay extra attention to the bass part. I know it's not just me, but JPJ could create bass parts that were so lyrical. I "hear" what he's playing not just musically, it's like bass lyrics coming through. And of course Jimmy did this with his guitar as well, no shade on him or any of the members :)

    • @CarlBaldassarreMusic
      @CarlBaldassarreMusic  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Totally agree! There’s no doubt that JPJ’s musical craft and musicianship was of equal importance. In fact, the back line of Jones and Bonham was so important that Zeppelin would never exist without their magical combination. Thanks for weighing in!!!

    Sorry bro. Led Zeppelin is used as an expression in the UK, which expresses their irony and self effacing nature. If something went down like a Led Zeppelin it means it didn't work very well. A Lead Zeppelin clearly would not fly very well. They were being ironic and self effacing in a UK, English way. Great playing though.

    • @CarlBaldassarreMusic
      @CarlBaldassarreMusic  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I totally got that and the naming story is legend (Peter Grant and Keith Moon quipping about the band in its earliest incarnation). We have the lead balloon version here. I was just adding an ironic, metaphorical twist in retrospect. Thank you for watching so thoroughly. I hope you stay with me and the channel!
