    I started playing this song when I was 15 back in 1977 & I have all but forgot about it when my wife of 30+ yrs heard me listening to this & said you know that's the song you use to warm up with everytime you picked up a guitar & just smiled that she could remember something like this. So in other words thanks for giving me a new found reason to learn it all over again. You F-----g Rock Man!

Good thing we can't see your face as you would probably constantly be thanked at all hours of the day, any place you might happen to be, by your incredibly lucky and grateful students. Hopefully, we are all happy to donate whatever we can...Thanks, man. (Edwin)

    One night out of the blue I nailed figuring this one out note for note by myself without the recording to listen to, or having heard it in at least a year. I love it when that happens! Just shows how much we focus on Pages playing. Me since age 12 in 1977. Three months later I got my first guitar. 200 bucks for a nice original condition 1964 Gibson LG-0 [zero] All mahogany parlor size acoustic guitar. The absolute perfect instrument for beginners. Sounds more intimate than it's _spruce wood_ counterpart LG-0 guitar (which my mom has had since 1957-58'). Who knows though. My older brother is an accomplished bluegrass flatpicker and began 5-6 years before me on that spruce LG-0. He taught me bluegrass in my first two years, and I gravitated toward baroque styles. The tone of the mahogany parlor size guitar with steel strings is so beautiful, more like you are gypsy with a lute in the forest. So playing anything sophisticated sounds as though it is being written under your fingers for the first time. Great for inspiring every player! I can testify as to the importance of BEGINNING your journey into music with a great instrument! Either LG-0 fits that bill more than a big dreadnought acoustic any day!

A couple of years back my dad was visiting my/his grand kids and while he was down I played this song, near flawless, as he watched it with amazement and pride.

    This song is just some of the proof of why led Zeppelin is so under appreciated. Their complexity is only rivaled by some jazz and classical music. In my opinion they are the greatest band ever and shouldn't be label as metal

    • @OMGWTFLOLSMH
      @OMGWTFLOLSMH 8 років тому +8

      Who ever said Led Zeppelin was under appreciated, and how is this song proof of that? Makes no sense. They are rooted in blues (with a sprinkling of folk) and are considered to be one of the best rock & roll bands by pretty much every critic known to man. My 80 year old father even enjoys some of their acoustic music and he detests rock & roll.

If you are a beginner, go to Marty Schwartz's channel, he will slowly show every fret picking pattern, After you get enough down, then comeback to this channel when your ready. He doesn't waste time with "put ring finger on 3rd string fourth fret" he shows his technique but you should already know your chords and scales and your instrument before your ready to learn the way S&P teaches

    Thank you for showing others the way to produce tutorials that provide a comfortable "fit" for the majority of players out there, the Intermediate players. We've made it past the Beginner stage many years ago and have climbed as far as our time, ability and desire will take us. Even though I'm a paid professional and have been doing this for over 40 years, I never broke through that self-imposed ceiling as far as my playing goes. You have inspired me to take my playing to the next level even though my venues don't require it. I've been thinking of adding an acoustic set to my shows, so I need to step up my game.
    I remember staying up all night learning this song when I got the album when it hit the record stores in '73. I've always thought that this song is the most easily recognizable song to learn to play...if it's done properly and thoroughly. And Sir, you've nailed every nuance of the song, as played in a solo performance.
    I was at a party one night and the girl that lived there handed me her brand new guitar that her parents bought for her birthday and she didn't know how to play. Someone told her that I could play, so I picked it up and played that song. It blew everyone away, including her. Two years later, to the day, we were married and I played that song at our wedding. I've played it ever since for her for 40 years...and she never gets tired of hearing it!
    You are an excellent teacher, very methodical, fluent, well-spoken, talented, and provide a detailed, well-lit/framed/clothed, time-saving, well-planned and well-structured lesson. I am going to recommend my son learn from your videos. I am new to this. How do I donate? Please continue this marvelous work! You are a true gift for everyone. And thank you again for sharing your gift with us. I'm sure you have thousands of followers and well-wishers.

    @hazor777 10 років тому +25

    One of Zeppelin's and Jimmy Page's best works, IMO. The imagery this song evokes is a lot akin to the scene in The Song Remains The Same where the camera stalks up behind Jimmy Page , sitting outside on a beautiful country day , beside a lagoon....playing a hurdy gurdy (of all instruments - maybe a borrow from Donovan ?). Plant's lyrics describe a playful loving attitude towards a woman of his affection who has taken precedence over all the past loves and lusts. It's distinct in it's opening - setting a feeling , progressing into a "high" of elation, and ending with a sense of being very fond of that person it was written with in mind (i.e. the ending droning notes..). The bridge odd timing begging for a little jig dancing.... I have always loved this song, can you tell? haha....

    One of the great things about hearing a great song like this played on the radio and my own sound system hundreds of times, counting is not necessary. If you have the song in your head, you will know the timing. That, I think allows for more feeling and less mechanical rigidity that goes with counting things out. Great vid ... once again. You seem to pick all the best songs to cover.

    Best and most accurate lesson. Also the only one that plays it in time... the timing is so tricky.

    This is the first Zepp song I learned in it's entirety (acoustic parts, anyway) and have been performing it for years and this still helped clear up a few things regarding timing and that little run coming out of the solo. Thank you so much!!

    i learned this by ear a long while ago. i always played that part with the Bm6 by holding a Cadd9 then removing my middle finger from the 5th string and moving my first finger to the 5th string second fret then sliding first finger 5th string to the first fret and then sliding down to the 3rd fret. Great lesson. I'm going to play it this way for a while and see how it feels.

    Dude, I've been trying to figure out what's happening between your 21 second Mark and your 25 second mark, and just couldn't get it. I knew I was close, but not quite there. Seeing that was like entering the pearly gates. I had the rest of the song down. Just didn't quite have the ear to figure that last bit out. Thank you so much for your lessons. You're a legend out here in UA-cam land. God's blessings upon you.

    • @majorreen

      Absolutely agree. I've been struggling with that for 20 plus years, and once you see it demonstrated and then play it yourself, you can't put the guitar down. Such a beautiful sounding chord(s).

  • @diegoleyva2726
    @diegoleyva2726 7 років тому

    This was one of the first songs I began learning, took me like a month of finger pain and hours of playing till I felt somewhat happy with how it sounded.. but in the end I acquired some very useful techniques like the hammer-on, pull-offs, slides and given the tricky rhythm in this song I was also able to get used to following weird patterns. All thanks to the detail in explanation. To be honest a month sounds like a lot at first, but when I started I never thought I could make "over the hills and far away" sound like it did after a month..

    I've played Led Zeppelin for years,you'd be fun to play guitar with,one thing I found about the timing tricks was Bonham and Jimmy had a connection,as the song gains and changes timing you'll notice Bohnam plays just a hair ahead of Jimmy,but it was to allow Bonzo to stagger,a jazz truck if you put a meter on it you'll hear it! Other times Jimmy plays in front of Bonzo,it was extremely difficult to dupe these shudders and timing tricks, I was privileged to be produced by Terry Manning he ghost produced much of 4; all of 3 and is credited as the sound engineer! I'm happy to see another JPP guy! Met Jimbo once when my drummer died! thanks ,Larry VINCENT

    Watched a lot of these video lessons and compared them the other videos of the the same lesson/song and I gotta say, after hearing yours these other ones don't even compare! The sound is not authentic and true to the original recording as you get here. Keep em coming! Thanks!

  • @michaelyork4554
    @michaelyork4554 4 роки тому

    The speed up is the best part when you're playing, you can feel the intensity rising and it takes all my will not to start swinging the neck around. Thank You Jimmy Paige, and You Sir.
    I also love the staccato notes, and the crisp hard alternate strums, I suppose this song is all about not getting too carried away when you play and then get sloppy! OK I'll shut up and play now

    Anyway, thanks for teaching these amazing, awesome songs, riffs, tones, and playing. I've learned more from you in 3 months then I've learned in the last 28 years. You're the best I've ever heard and best ive seen.

    Thanks for posting...this single song inspired me to want to learn how to play guitar. Friend played it and I thought it sounded so cool so he taught me how. It wasn't easy but I remember practicing a lil everyday. Here I am almost 40 years later still playing and I'm pretty good.

    That little lick that changes for the first time when the vocoals come in; when you slide from the G 3rd fret to the D, 7th fret. That's a tricky one. Took me a while to get the timing right. But once you got it, it's so sweet. Nice job on this tune.

    I noticed that on your strumming, what you show and the way you play it are different. You show down, down, up ,down.......but you play down, up, down, up. Great lesson BTW, very accurate. I'd never be able to learn this song without your efforts.
