Love your enthusiasm for Led Zeppelin. Thank you for taking the time to teach these songs. I hated Zeppelin for most of my life, then a few years ago, I finally sat down and unpacked their music. I was such a fool for not getting into them sooner.
Not to worry, Pete Townshend has still not come around.
@@JohnnyArtPavlou oooooh, sick burn, LOL
@@bws1971 I love Pete, but I think it’s kind of silly when it comes to Led Zeppelin. Maybe by now he has changed his mind about them. Anyway, he likes the guys. It’s just that it seems he was not able to connect with her music. I know that sometimes a thing… You can respect a band without necessarily being a fan of their music.
It goes without saying that Led Zeppelin is/are/were extraordinary.
@@JohnnyArtPavlou I feel that way about some bands too
I've always loved their music. Sadly. I never really appreciated it until I picked up the guitar.
I've seen lots of lessons for this song, and this is without a doubt the most complete one. Master!
Yay!!
Yes! Genius !!!
Absolutely agree. Phenomenal lesson, great enthusiasm. Thank you sir.
That commentary about the Qunital chord was fantastic. Great way to break it all down. Jimmy's emotional, bendy, "weepy" playing in this track perfectly fits the theme of the song, and also the mood of the band at this specific point in time in their history.
Zeppelin.....the original heavy metal band...the original hair band....the band that every other band in the history of bands aspired to be.....they were simply the best of all time.
Jimmys mastery of scales is what sets him apart, many times completely changing to another scale and still making it fit seamlessly. I think people get confused thinking it’s sloppy but it’s not, he was always pushing the envelope, while he did miss a note here and there it was amazing how far he could push it
Amen!
That is so true. I have seen enough live Zeppelin to confirm. Page is a guitar wizard!!
Presence is the weirdest album they had with that strange cover photo but they made great songs from that session.. Bonham's drums sound the best on that also ,you can hear every tap from his kit ,......
It really is a very Bonham record. He beats the hell out of everyone on this one.
Wrong.
You obviously weren't born.
The weirdO is YOU.
Nothing strange about that photo.
It entertained the people of 76.
We were ready for this in 76.
We are lucky to have an instructor with the passion and ability you have , great job on all the videos I've seen
Aw. That’s so kind!
Thank you for noticing and revealing the Mystery Chord. I saw Jimmy with the Black Crowes in NYC and first heard it then and knew it was deliberate. It was striking to hear it live. Great analysis.
What allowed all this to work was the harmonic space that JPJ created for Jimmy. Jonesy has great ears, when Jimmy took a left turn Jonesy knew how follow and support him. They were always listening to each other. As a guitar player, I am a huge Jimmy Page fan, I love his work... but JPJ is the magic dust, the secret sauce, the foundation that allowed for all this improv to work. How about covering some JPJ in a future video?
It is difficult to notice from solely a LZ perspective, but JPJ probably had more influence on the style and direction than all other members. When you listen to the Crooked Vultures album it becomes blatantly apparent.
@@richardclark. Agree with the first part. Not a huge fan of TCV so I can’t comment because I haven’t listened.
Bonzo really followed Page, not JPJ, and quite often Jones was holding the tune together. Especially on live versions of this tune, Bonham beat the hell out of everyone and REALLY challenged Page.
What about John Bonham? He was equally talented.
Fantastic lesson of a really great Zeppelin song. The mystery chord is great, never figured that one out. Can't wait to start using it. Great solo breakdown too, of course.
Thanks!
Not true.
Sounds nothing like the original recording.
Unbelievable breakdown and tutorial on one of my favorite Zeppelin songs (actually one of my favorite songs from anyone). This is SUCH an insightful and understandable lesson. Amazing work, Carl!! Thank you!
OK, I've got to also add: your analysis and instruction on the nuances in the performances is the BEST I've ever seen in any instructional work. You've de-mystified so many of the little subtleties that I've always loved in the performance of this song.
Thank you so much. I’m so happy you enjoyed the video!!
Probably one of my favourite LZ songs. Thank you for posting
Amazing as always.
This is brilliant! Thank you!!
Love this stuff Carl, can't wait to get this one down.
Great video 👍
The man is back in town!
Great job - Great song. Thank you!
Thanks for this. My favorite song off of Presence. I love that start and stop rhythm thing they have going on in it.
This is spot on. You really nailed it, including the variations. Great stuff!
Good God I love this song. Carl, thank you yet again!
Just incredible. Your lessons are very inspiring. Always makes me want to pick up the guitar and get to it! Thank you.
Brilliant breakdown! I find myself drumming with the guitar phrases while I listen to this. 😊
You are so good at this-what a true expert you are!
My favorite Zeppelin song! Thanks for the break down, very interesting.
Awesome guitar class 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Keep it coming with the awesome Led Zeppelin songs.
Wow Carl! Your passion comes out in your tutorial! Thanks from a massive Zeppelin fan.
Thank you, great video!
Great job Carl. That tone is amazing!
The Mystery Chord... I recognized it right away from Dazed and Confused (live MSG '73). Great lesson - thanks, Carl!
I recognised it from the pyramids
Very cool and fun piece 😁
Thankyou Carl I found that very helpful. Your playing is masterful. Great advice for me too. Best wishes
Carl, I love it when you pull up on that last chord. That is such a monster.
I love your Zepp vids. You always demonstrate the little stuff and adding the little cues and subtle pull-offs and bends has elevated my playing! I never realized how much Page bends his way into his notes before watching your vids and now I do it all the time because the bends make it all sound so much better. Thank you!
Great run through! Subbed
Finally, the mystery chord from the live version is revealed! I’ve been a Zep nut since the 80s, love your inspired lessons on Page. Keep up the great work! 🙏
Great video. Great advice.
This is one of my favorites, nice job!
Thank you!
Thank you for making your videos. I enjoy all of them
Thank you for saying so!!
Another great break down of the great Jimmy Page. I hope that one day you get to jam with him, Carl. Love your work and his.
Man that would be ridiculous!
From what I've heard, Jimmy rarely ever plays guitar anymore, which is really sad, if true.
really like this song and you do it justice carl
From one huge Zeppelin fan to another - live the content and way present it. They were such a captivating band, all the more reason why we’re still listening and talking about them today.
Your tone is spot on, brother. Respect!
muhmuhmuhnkey on my back....great breakdown Carl...lots of "goodies" here! thanks again
Really cool! 😊
A couple of minutes into the video, I wondered whether you would talk about "that chord" I'd heard on the live Zep recordings from 1979 and 1980. And then, yes- the Mystery Chord! Very nice indeed.
I'm not a guitarist but I love the care and intelligence you put into your analysis of Page's work. Of course all of this highlights how careful and brilliant a guitarist Page was.
What a great episode! Thank you for educating us on the brilliance of Jimmy. ✌️
Thank you!!
What a great lesson and analysis of a great song. Love the mystery chord!! Thank so much and love the way you break songs down...seems like you are having a great time.
Incredible as always - love this song.
Presence didn't do a lot for me but this song rocks and is my favorite on the album.
@@sungear I was the same way but you have to let really give that album a chance to soak in. There is some incredible visual energy created that goes along with the music and can just take you there and get you lost. On Night Flight, when Plant wistfully says he remembers a picture of the lady with her baby, you know that smile. We all know that smile! And JPJs organ lifts us up with that thought while Page sneaks in just enough to get you ready for the major chord changes that drop you on top of that hill. And they do it over and over again. Three times in that song alone.
Solid work
Top Notch - excellent breakdown. I always learn something 👍
Thanks pal!!!!!
Nice vid well done 👍
Hi Carl….. so glad to see another video, they are great. Love to see more LZ content. Your breakdowns, feel and knowledge of their songs are second to none.
Thank you!
Thanks Carl, pagey is always doing a little trickier things than most. ✌️😊
I've always liked this song. And, I like Zeppelin's version most.
I really appreciate the effort and enthusiasm you put into this. Hope you're doing well.
Nice to see u really enjoying to teach us... your smile gives you away
Aw! Thank you! I do love sharing my passion!
Another fun and uniquely insightful lesson!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've never been as comfortable or happy in classic rock bands as I wish, but improvisational forms like jazz, oh yes! Perhaps that's one reason I keep coming back to JP/Zepp- always taking chances live (Here's to the 70's!). So very contrasting to the perfect 'in the can' jewels of captured timelessness that are each album/tracks. Those just get better through the years. At this point after a recent NDE, I'm just grateful for such things in my life...Thanks Carl for your continuing genius efforts...
This epi was cool.. it reminded me of things id forgotten.. Especially the part about chord inversions.. That alone is gold... I also remember getting those page triplets together... It's still a part of my everyday rep.. The drums on this song must have influenced Alex VH a lot... Sounds like a lot of what he went after on the VH2 LP . I remember Presence and Physical Graffiti being bold records for zep... This was a dynamite breakdown... Always dug this tune and this album.. Awesome content as always...
Thanks buddy!
Well, we might also call it a gibi…😉
Cool ended in 1978.
Hey Carl!
What a lesson man!!!
I was missing these Led Zeppelin's master classes!
Even more when you teach some music theory that fits the music.
Looking forward for the next one. 😁
Brilliant 👏
More of this please ❤️
Carl, you sound amazing! Love your deconstruction of this tune and the live versions of NFBM contain some Epic Bonham/Page battles!!!!
Dude, You SLAY! 🤘🏻Subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
Carl, fantastic breakdown of this amazing song..Presence is one of my favorites..For Your Life is incredible... ❤️ 🎸
Me too. Presence is its own universe! It’s like nothing else! It’s extremely difficult material to cover!! Page was especially nuanced on this album.
Very well done Carl! I really enjoyed this a lot! The best song on that album & in a fabulous way , you brought out the Jimmy & the Page beautifully !!
Wrong.
Stop wasting our time.
Isn't it amazing how bands today can't be as original or as creative as the incredible CLASSIC rock bands. 😁
Great stuff Dude !😁👍🏻
I think you’re absolute correct. And thank you!
Great lesson!
Glad you liked it!
Beautiful Les Paul !!!
Awesome Zeppelin song for guitar parts that sound great and are fun to play.
Very well presented here !!!
Thank you!!
Watching this brilliant lesson/analysis of one of Led Zeppelin's heaviest songs, it struck me Carl just how much Page expressed his creative artistic energy through the guitar and Led Zeppelin's music by as you say "playing for the moment". The general structure of the recorded studio version is there but the beauty of when they performed live was the spontaneity and the way Jimmy in particular mixed it up.
You articulated this perfectly on this song.
Love your work!
Thank you so much!
Carl keeping the Zep legacy alive. I think he loves Zeppelin almost as much a I do. Presence is a brilliant an much underrated album.
Exceptional lesson!! Subscribed. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thank you for telling me!
This is a real workout!
Love Led Zeppelin!
great job appreciate it
I appreciate you!
Between Carl and Sped I'm in Zepp Heaven, Thanks!
Thanks very much for this - I’ll definitely be giving this one a go and very glad to have a new song to focus on (after 4 years of ‘self-teaching’……). It’s all too easy to get stuck in a rut of playing the same ones over and over, especially after a long day at work. Very glad to see your subscription numbers going up and up - well deserved.
Thank you!!
Awesome brother from Warren 😎
i stagered a moment when we left "Nobodys fault but yours" and entered Guitarfretlessonworld of "inversions".....but i regained balance and moved on.....haa....🙂
love it Carl.....carry on....!!
another very good rock song actually....Jimmy is sooo good.....
Pure mad genius 😁
Thank you Carl!! It is so gratifying to hear someone break down, for us mortals, Jimmy's amazing guitar work!!!! I grew up in the 60's-70's and upon hearing LZ 1 I knew life was changing for the better. Jimmy is a master of 'texture'. He covers the entire range from soft acoustic ; intro to 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave you', .. to blistering, gut wrenching, balls out, pyrotechnics: solo to 'Communication Breakdown', or the iconic solo of 'Stairway to Heaven'. A solo which 51 years later (Arrgh!) still brings goosebumps. I don't know about others, but i grew increasingly disappointed after LZ IV. What i do know is I was there when each album came out. I have listened to them so many times but I never fail to be enthralled by these albums. Jimmy is not only a master guitar player technically but a composer with few peers. Like so many bands LZ 'peaked' and then began a slow slide downward. The only band who didn't was the Beatles - they slid down and then finished brilliantly with Abbey Road. I am grateful to you Carl for providing brilliant insight into Jimmy's playing. Again. THANK YOU CARL!!
Thank you!!!
Wow this was amazing. You should do more Zeppelin lessons!
Check out my channel and subscribe. Lots of Zep content up already!! Let me know what you think!
"...throat and girth" What a great description of a chord! Great video once again Carl. Thanks
Tutti
With some of the online tabs I’ve seen, there seems to be scant correlation to what I’m actually hearing on the record - this is great breakdown of it.
Thanks.
You a genius Carl.
A gem of a song, with so many great variations. Even though I'm not a musician and most of the technical stuff goes over my head, you explain it so well Carl, and illustrate it so well, I kind of understand much better what I'm hearing. I'd love to hear you do a deconstruction of Ten Years Gone, which is one of my favourite Zep songs.
On the bucket list!
This is fabulous Carl!! As is your jacket and necklace! I do hear the studio version as all bends, live he does the slides up to the E and B notes yep.
Thank you for all that acknowledgment!!
Like the intro & main riff .
Excellent lesson, Carl! I recently tried to learn this song by ear but I think I was playing a few parts wrong. Keep on keeping Zeppelin going!
I’d love to see you cover For Your Life. It’s one of my favorite Zeppelin songs but it sounds like the guitar riffs are weird, for lack of a better term. Anyway, thanks!
It has been quite a while since I've hear the word Zytgyst used in the correct context as well. Thanks for n the double fifths chord.
Great lesson man.
Yay! A fellow word lover! I love words as much as I love musical notes!
The music of my youth, since I started to learn the guitar a few years ago in my early 50's I have rediscovered my love for Led Zeppelin when you listen to them now understanding more about music you appreciate how great Led Zeppelin are Jimmy Page came out will many delicious riffs that well never die, even today young players are discovering Led Zeppelin, and other great artist of that time, I find tone wise having a PAF based humbuckers on Les Paul or Les Paul type like I have gets that tone, great lesson Carl, love your channel,
Thank you soo much!
You da man when it comes to Zep
Sir Carl- amazing. Your best LedZ video so far. The breakdown and masterful execution put a smile on my face. I got to see LedZ live twice once upon a time. I hope you and Mr. Page could sit down together some day and compare notes….now that would be interesting. Best regards from ATX.
That would be amazing!
One of my fave solos, def a guitar Lp
would love for you to break down sick again
Another go to solo.
His drunken monk staggering intro lick is just amazing
He uses that chord in the song remains the same movie, during the jam in Dazed and Confused… thanks 32 mystery solved for me today!!!!
Thanks for doing this. It's just great. I've been playing this song for decades... Most probably wrong... But... Watching you play the 'mystery chord' made me smile like a Cheshire Cat. I've never quite got that... And like you said... He never played the same thing more than twice the same live. Cheers 👍
I was glad to be able to sort through this track!
The appreciation you have for music really comes through in your teaching. Comparing Jimmy Page to a painter (short/wide brushstrokes) is so appropriate! It dispels the whole "Jimmy Page is a sloppy guitar player" trend in one master stroke :D
I'll never let my dad forget that he turned down free tickets to Led Zeppelin in the early 70s. He was born in 1945 so as someone who grew up listening to the hits of the 50s on the radio and then coming to love the Beatles and Stones during the 60s, Led Zeppelin - to him - sounded like heavy metal.
Oh heck yeah you got Jimmy’s vibe. He was always very spontaneous, a wreck less immensely exciting driver of solos and riffs. Tasteful too for rock, the resolves, com 7, etc. tasteful. One huge guitar study/ lesson he is and an enjoyable one. I learned guitar from him firstly and mostly. The Superhype Zeppelin Complete music book and Clapton Layla songbook w solo transcriptions, absorbed it like a sponge. This too was an old blues song, but the Presence version is nothing like the ol blues number. Jimmy new the blues well, Guitar Boogie, Page,Clapton, Beck, great blues record.My training record ya know. Then I got into the older stuff it of curiosity and interest, Robert Johnson, Muddy…..even Johnny Winter. Jazz was important, I always felt rock players got their taste from jazz, blue notes…etc chromatic, 1/4 bends…ya know
The mystery chord was a cool nugget.
I first explored that chord shape as a way to re-create the sound of a C add 9. (Or SUS2)
The cool thing about it is that it is move-able and has pretty much that same "vibe" as a C add 9.
