I can't believe that people complain that you talk too much. You provide so much information, from detailed technical info to historical insight. I am so grateful I stumbled upon your channel. Thank you for sharing so generously!
I was 16 years old when this album was released, and trust me when I say my brain just about exploded! No one in my circle of high school musician friends expected anything like it, even though there were plenty of British precursors around that might have warned us that this could happen. Thanks, as usual, for the excellent lesson! 👍👍👍
Your attention to detail is immaculate. Thanks for not teaching how to play this song incorrectly like 98% of the rest of TH-cam. Best guy to go to for Page tutorials!!!
I remember going through my dad’s LPs and coming across this album, I put it on the turntable, dropped the needle and it blew me away. What an intro! Every time I hear it, it brings me back to that moment. 🙌🏻
Love your channel! The way I was taught the verse riff was the hammer-on on the 7th fret is off the open D string! Not that D on fret 5 of A string, which can tend to resonate if you don’t go to the trouble of muting it. You use the open D later in the riff, but I think it’s there at the beginning too. Page was pretty economical in his playing.
I bought a hard back book of Led Zeppelin that has every song on every album the ever recorded. It has the sheet music and the tabs too. I call it my Led Zeppelin Bible any song you want to know to play it tells you. Whenever I bought it it cost 49 bucks and that was about 4 years ago and now I think it’s over 100. But it is well worth the money.
For early Zep Page tone, I really like the Tele 4 way switching position with both pickups in series. I'm not sure if Page had that mod on his Tele, but it sounds a lot like it. Fat and aggressive, but still pretty bright. When I learned this myself by ear, I always heard it as a hammer-on from A-D on the first part of the verse riff after the big E chord. Haven't played this in a while, thanks for the much needed refresher. Need a Leslie pedal now.
And of course John Paul Jones wrote the bulk of this track. It was his riff and his arrangement. The one that was 'toughest to get across' to the other guys until they 'got it' All of them contributed when all was said and done though. Great Stuff! Love the dissection & analysis
I thought that might ge the case, it has that "bumpy riff" quality to it that he thalked about being a clue to what was his. Black Dog was. Now I suspect nobody's fault but mine might be.
Lotta notes / very busy = JPJ Big, lurching chords = JP per JPJ and how to tell who's riffs are who's Most of who's stuff is Pete's but that's not on topic 😂
Great lesson! Especially those outro runs. Nobody else (I’ve seen) has ever gotten those right. I assume you’re using 9’s. That or you have really strong hands to do those big bends. Thanks!
Played this in a band in 1980 with some LZ heads, we had forty on the song list and a guy that if you closed your eyes you couldnt tell it wasnt Plant, and im not kidding, he quit 3 years later said we were killing him, guess we we were lol, I slid into the D chord from c# every time because you slide from C# all the way up to E on the next riff ...just slide that barre chord ... everything else I played just like you did.
Which effect are you using for the guitar solos. It sounds a bit like a chorus, but I believe that chorus effects weren't really around until 1976. Is it a vibrato effect with the speed of the effect turned up a bit?
It's a leslie speaker emulator. He used a leslie on the record, I use a pedal that mimics the rotating speaker from a leslie. Neo instruments Ventillator II
Mid seventies - 14 year old boy - newly arrived to the US from Colombia S.A - Whah..what is this music I'm hearing ?? I want to play guitar and play all this music . Music class ..teacher teaches 5ths and open chords ...Yeih I'm on my wayyy!! Father buys me an electric guitar from a pawn shop .. well, I mean a plank of wood with strings , so high Malcom Young would have been in heaven with it but, not mee lil fingas ..try finding friends that I can learn from..nope .. they just want to smoke weed and enjoy the music..well so do I but , I really want to play this music.. get my records, cheapy turn table , needle up /needle down .. no one to teach me about pedals or alternate tunings . now an old man with terrible technique and terrible hearing 🤣🤣🤣!!! The music gods are still laughing at me .. they put the fire in me and prevented me from being able to put it out !! why could they have sent a friend like this guy to teach me ! Thank you for everything sir !!!
I really think this part is wrong 16:34 . It's the A minor pentatonic in that position. Position 4?. E G A C D. I've been playing it that way for over 35 years now and it sounds right to me. I hope I haven't got it wrong this whole time? Listen for that C note. It's definitely in there.
Good song, except everyone has covered it. How about Triumph lay it on the line. Fight the good fight. Eagles out on border. UFO Mother Mary. Blue Oyster cult Godzilla, take me away. Supertramp bloody well right. Built to Spill - Carry the Zero. Heavy Metal don felder.

Well... there goes the weekend!!! Thanks for the lesson!
What an excellent lesson. Great work covering many aspects of the song and the guitar playing. Thanks.
I remember going through my dad’s LPs and coming across this album, I put it on the turntable, dropped the needle and it blew me away. What an intro! Every time I hear it, it brings me back to that moment. 🙌🏻

Can you do a lesson on how to play rock bottom by UFO
Yes and certainly the tele sound on that first album.
And of course John Paul Jones wrote the bulk of this track.
It was his riff and his arrangement.
The one that was 'toughest to get across' to the other guys until they 'got it'
All of them contributed when all was said and done though.
Great Stuff!

Literally tried learning this by ear last night. How weird!
They’re listening

Yes 9s

Great video! OK, what is it with these British guitarists and their 2 step bends?
Sweet thx 👍
Is Jimmy Page adding in the 3rd in the Albert King box only during the V chord? The 3rd becomes the b6 over the V chord.
Which effect are you using for the guitar solos. It sounds a bit like a chorus, but I believe that chorus effects weren't really around until 1976. Is it a vibrato effect with the speed of the effect turned up a bit?

Yes! NSU is on my to do list
Recently acquired a new Supro Black Magick Reverb, and it is spot on to the studio album. Except for me playing the guitar. Which kinda sucks.
Good to know, may have to check one out
