    In this lesson we are going to take a look at the main riff to Led Zeppelin's version of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You".
    Using an arpeggiated picking pattern in A minor, this opening riff of Jimmy Page's arrangement of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" creates a very haunting yet beautiful sound.
    In this Babe I'm Gonna Leave You guitar lesson I will show you how to play that gorgeous descending arpeggiated picking intro and verse note-for-note.
    Pay close attention to letting the top melody notes ring for as long as possible. Especially the melody notes held with the first finger. It is a good exercise in coordination if you can keep your first finger down between the chord changes in which it holds the last melody note..
    In addition to those frethand challenges, there is also quite a bit of string skipping in the picking hand. At the beginning of the lesson I do talk about how I approach arpeggiated picking on the guitar. I feel that this method is the most economical and the most comfortable in the long run. However, if you have never played in this way it might be a little awkward in the beginning. But if you always approach your picking patterns in this way you will eventually play every cross string arpeggiated pattern this way without thinking about it.
    So take your time when attempting to put all of this together. Once again it is about letting those notes ring out for as long as possible, especially the top melody notes!
    If you want to learn the entire song simply help me get this video 600 UA-cam likes and after it meets that goal I will then teach the entire song note-for-note.
    OK I will see you guys back here with the full song lesson soon. In the meantime make sure you master this awesome riff first. #babeimgonnaleaveyouguitarlesson #ledzeppelin #guitarcovers

    Can I just say as a pro guitarist with 50 years of experience, that you're truly a great no nonsense teacher, and by far the best I've seen on here. I play in a covers band (still) and I just watch your videos a couple of times and I'm away... saves SO much time when I need to cover a song quickly! Most others, (and I have to say the US 'teachers' are by far the worst!) give their entire life story and hours of nonsense before they do what you want to see, and then usually disappointingly. You SIr hit the nail on the head every time and I now just search out to see if you cover the song I need first. Thank you! Cracked Rain Song in 20/30 minutes, god knows how long it would have taken me to work it out!

      I used Marty at first and he was super helpful as a beginner, but once I started to get better I started using him more than Marty because he is more accurate on the lessons and he usually does the full song. Both are great it’s just that I think Carl is better for intermediate to advanced while Marty is more simple with his tutorials and is better for beginners.

    I have seen a lot of other tutorial videos on this particular song and I just wanted to share with you that you do the best job at explaining it in my opinion . I have always loved this song out of all the Zeppelin songs the most but was never playing it completely proper as I was never playing the melody along with the chords , I was playing the correct chords but it sounds so much better adding the melody. Thanks for doing a great job explaining it.

    Since I've been learning to play songs on UA-cam, I've learned from several of your videos. My only gripes are that you don't always say the chord that is being played/arpeggiated and you don't repeat which fret on which string, so I have to go back a lot. Frustrating at times but you are a great teacher.

    Carl, I've been playing since 1966 and I've got to say that you are amazingly talented. The only comment that I have is that perhaps you could start your videos with a complete run through of the lesson at full speed before breaking it down. Those of us who can catch on quickly would benefit from that.
    Cheers!

      You'd think UA-cam would tag that ad to to a search word like "beginner guitar" or "easy guitar" because this is not a song a novice would/should attempt without a solid foundation of chord shapes and fretboard theory. Just my opinion I guess, not being disparaging towards people just starting out.

    Anyone have any tips for getting the note right with your thumb on the 1st fret of the E string?

      you kinda just have to stretch your thumb until it just presses the string enough, dont worry about getting your whole thumb over it if you cant. Do hand stretching exercises before every practice session each day, if you dont already. Other than that its just about having large hands i guess. If you still cant do it after that, then just use your first finger to bar the 1st fret.

    Awesome lesson. Though after your words "and your thumb is going..." I said out loud "no, my thumb is not going there", as I play classical guitar and can not accept that style of playing,even if it is used in original composition 😊
