This song never really got a lot of air play but I consider it the last great song zep did. Its phenomenal, IMO, and like a lot of other songs zep wrote, displays a timeless sophistication that just “takes you there”! I originally had a bit of an issue with the staccato drum section but tolerated it because the rest of the song is so good. That intro grabs you and pulls you in, the guitar layering is so well done, the solo fantastic, and the outro so foreboding. Plants voice wasn’t the greatest but the lyrics were spot on... JPJ and Bonham were fantastic. I’ve learned to play it... now I just need Robert Plant to come to my house and sing along😀 BTW, nice pace on the lesson.
Parris Gjerde I totally agree with you. The average Person just thinks Stairway, but fora guitarist to me this is the song. I think that Page wrote this over a number of years but finally commuting it to tape. You can hear hints of the song in the live version of Dazed and Confused. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Please consider subscribing if you haven’t already done so I always appreciate the support.
@@GuitarMates Ya this song is the sort of thing only Page would do. From that E/F# opening (which to my ear is reminiscent of something a piano player might come up with) bursting into this vibrant living energetic thing for 10+ minutes... inspiring for sure - esp from a writing perspective. Keep up the great work brother. Subscribed.
This is fantastic, maybe the best Zeppelin guitar lesson on TH-cam. It deserves far more likes and comments than it has so far. There are several guys doing Zepp lessons who haven't taken this on - this seems to be the only one. With the separate session on the solo, it comes to almost an hour of help on this epic song. Everyone has their own favorites, but I think with all the different parts that need to be learned and then put together with the solo, it is Page's most involved song to learn - even for someone like me who is a long time hobby player that has been working off and on since the 1970's on Zepp songs (back before TH-cam and tab books, when we had to try to figure all this out by ear).
@@johnpoffenbarger8688 yeah I remember those days Stairway to heaven was one of the first songs I tried to play(1976) I'm still trying to get the lead down😏
Embarrassingly - I only stumbled across this song recently. I am guitar orientated for sure so I fell in love with it! Thanks for an AMAZING lesson! Very clear and well done! I was so surprised to only see 5319 views for a video so well done! Please do more and keep up the great work!
Hi Micah glad you enjoyed the lesson. I guess my marketing skills need to be improved but i am happy that at least %k people have watched it. If you haven't done so please consider subscribing to the channel i always appreciate the support.
Hi Wade you absolutely correct it always made me wonder how long Jimmy was working on the idea of Achilles Last Stand before he finally recorded it. Hope you enjoyed the lesson. Please consider subscribing if you haven’t already done so, I appreciate the support
Thanks for the tutorial. I agree, this might be the greatest hit from LZ! I clearly remember, some 25 years ago I found Presence album in my father's cassette box. He never really listened to it, prefered Queen, Jimi, etc. But I immediately stuck to it, while I was cleaning the huge windows in our house. :-D So, Presence forever!
Hi Jerry, glad you enjoyed the lesson and thanks for the kind words. Hope you have decided to subscribe to the channel. I always appreciate the support
Excellent breakdown of the parts. Only thing at the being, Page never moves his hand. Somehow he plays those pull offs on the D staying in place to play the F# chords.
Hi Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the lessons. If you haven't done so already why not consider subscribing to the channel. I always appreciate the support

4:20 that part there, it is 3rds, right? (I don't know music theory, sorry) Around that time, 1976, Michael Schenker was already around, the song Doctor Doctor comes to mind where he does that in the live performances (dual guitars played as one using 3rds) Do you think Schenker influenced Page somehow around the period? Songs like Lights Out and Rock Bottom were already released at the time I think
No Jimmy is the God. But thanks for the complement. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. If you haven'y done so already please consider subscribing to my channel. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Mr. Skype do you use any software to slow down the music and loop it? I use Transcribe! I'm hearing something different on the opening riff then what you are playing..Doesn't really make much of a difference. It is a very hard riff to play at tempo. I'm sure Page didn't play it the same every time who knows? Give it a listen again slow it down to 50 percent. You will be surprised what you pick up when you slow it down.
Hi Gitaa on some song I use transcribe as you mention. In the case of this song I didn't I just listened and worked out from what I heard. I do agree that you hear all kinds of things when you slow the track down. I will check out what you say. Hope you enjoyed the lesson.
When you play that chord for the night fret to the 7th fret when you get to the seventh fret it should be two strokes. That's the melody. So the 7th fret one stroke the 9th fret 2 strokes. That's the melody Any three notes played in the sequence that's pleasing to the ear Melody
So were you able to look at the video. and see the melody being played.It's funny when I see someone else play the same rhythm, and they only play 2/3 of the melody. I hear the third note of the melody being played deep in my head. With all do respect do you see and hear what I mean. most people can not explain what a Melody is.
I'll bet he wished he could just say the 'notes' instead of explaining tabs'. Tabs were written in guitar rags 'practicing musician' early mid 80s. Learning songs from book with tabs is great in your room. Although explaining tabs takes forever it's way slow. Doesn't matter who it is long process.

This video deserves way more views. Amazing breakdown in a way that is informative but straight to the point, thankyou! I have subscribed :)
I've been playing for 40 years as a rhythm guitarist and I like your teaching ways. Gives me insight how to get that part down. Thx
Hi Dave, thanks for the comment glad you enjoyed my lesson. Let me know how you get on.
Is Jimmy the man or what ? Great breakdown, this is going to keep me up all night, well many nights ...
He was my inspiration to learn the guitar. Enjoy the video

I have been looking for help with this part for 33 years. Good gravy...thank you so much!! SUBSCRIBED
Wade Holloway Yes, listen to the San Francisco part in Earls Court 1975, it has a lot of Achilles’ riffs
That’s what it is just pluck the 1st and 2nd string while playing that scale and on the C note it’s with the 2nd and 3rd frets on the first string
Totally right , so correct dude!
Thanks for the tutorial. I agree, this might be the greatest hit from LZ!
I clearly remember, some 25 years ago I found Presence album in my father's cassette box. He never really listened to it, prefered Queen, Jimi, etc.

Grrrrrreat!!!!!!!
Thanks glad you like it.
Your are fantastic
You've Been a "Very" BiG Help, and very comfortable to listen too ! ThX, ScottyG
Hi Scott glad you found the lesson useful. Thanks for the kind comments.
Great. Opening arpeggio is in an E minor 9 though, not E9. The open G string means it's minor.
Hi Peter, you are correct, slip of the tongue when i was recording. Hope you enjoyed the lesson.
@@GuitarMates Enjoyed it very much. Great lesson, thanks.
this is JUST killer.....great job Geoff.....this is from the Presence album I think....long ass song...nice....
This is great what a classic, thanks!!
Nice Music Man Axis. I have one as well. 1995 model.
That's a hard song
Don't I know it 😅😅
It’s easier to write something like this than copy it. Good work.
Idk mate I wouldn't go that far
El mejor👌
Hi Jimmy, thanks for the kind comment glad you liked the lesson
I can’t find a tutorial for Small Beginnings by Flash.
nice. can you do al esson on led zep-fool in the rain?

Quite possible.
The bits where he slides down are minor triads. First, minor 3rd, 5th. Accompanied by a low E drone.
Love sir
thank you
Bit late but what effects are you using to get this tone?
Chorus + smidge of delay
You are a God

Im mostly a beginner which kinda sucks because this is my favourite zeppelin song but I'm not sure I can play it
Jimmy Page, Jimmy Fucking Page.
Hi Jeff hope you enjoyed the lesson!!
Led Zep lesson with EVH guitar.
Worse that that Ian, my T shirt is from GAP!
Good mechanics - would be good to understand the overall theory though. E drone and Em key? Whats going on with the other chords?
Hi Leon,
That is a great idea for a new lesson. I will put something out shortly.
When you play that chord for the night fret to the 7th fret when you get to the seventh fret it should be two strokes. That's the melody.
So the 7th fret one stroke the 9th fret 2 strokes. That's the melody
Any three notes played in the sequence that's pleasing to the ear Melody

whats the tuning, is it standard?
Pristine yes it is. Hope you enjoy the lesson
@@GuitarMates Great lesson! Thank you! What is the pink band behind the nut called? What does it do?
yeah, no. That riff is physically impossible
I have no idea how he plays it so fast
@@xdef1ne Jimmy Page would speed up the songs tempo when playing live, making it literally impossible to reproduce
@@damianpimpinella977 it ain't impossible my guy, just takes some work to get it down
The riff at 20:13 or the main riff?
The power of herion

i could play this when i was 14 ....jimmy page didnt actually write it until he was 26 ...i think that says quite a lot .
and whats that? lol you’re kidding i know you are
@@tw8454 but i'm not kidding when i say ....you are trolling me
@@TheMichaelseymour …..im asking a legit question. you could play the entire Achilles Last Stand on guitar at 14?
@@tw8454 no...i never tried , FYI , i was doing a parody of a scene in "bad news" ....a spinal tap type show joke .
A zoom in would be nice.
Blurry
I agree that it is a great song but I think it was way too long
It doesn’t even feel long
please, how can zeppelin song be too long?! Too bad they gotta end...
