  • Solo acoustic arrangement of a classic song from Led Zeppelin's debut album. Trimmed an almost 7-min. song down to less than 4-min., but tried to retain all the variations. Couldn't figure out a way to insert any of the fantastic embellishments on a single guitar, so added some noodling at the end.
    Martin 000-28
    Prototype Mojo soundhole pickup
    Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD interface
    Reaper DAW and several plug-ins (PhoenixVerb for base reverb, Native Instruments Raum for reverb blooms, etc.)
    Full disclosure - the audio and video recordings were done separately. That is, I first recorded the audio and then made the video of myself playing along with that. Yeah, I know - it's cheating...

    VERY nice!! Excellent job!! This song takes me back to when I was VERY young. Whenever my parents were out of the house for an extended period, my oldest brother (either when he was alone or with a houseful of partying friends) would have Led Zeppelin I in the mix of records hitting the turntable. My brother sadly lost his life 2 days after Christmas in 2014 to a bullet to his heart, but he lives on every time I hear the music he loved so much.

    Page said this song, NOT Stairway or any other, comes closest in his mind to what Zepp's sound was really all about.

    Fantastic cover, beautifully played; that palm tap between 12 and 14 fret it's great it generates a harmonic sound as in the very end. What a classic song. 🎸❤

    I saw Page do this at the Seattle Aqua Theatre in May of 1969... It was spooky what he did. He was still trading between his Tele and Les Paul from song to song, but when he went Les Paul for this song, his embellishments sent chills up my spine. I'll never forget it. I also saw him play Bron-Y-Aur live at the Seattle Colosseum in 1970, and that also was spine tingling. I mention this as you do a wonderful version. His live version that night had him hitting harmonics in a middle section not on the recorded version. Doug Shanahan is the only player I've seen do this part correctly, and maybe the only one to try it that I've seen on UA-cam. My compliments on your playing still stand, of course. Thank you.

    Perhaps maybe simply power chords here (with a shuffling E bass note)? I used to do it this way.
