No matter how I try I cannot hear this piece as starting on the downbeat of 1. To me, I hear it starting on the and of 4 ...that's how I've listened to it for 45+ years and I can't get it to switch ,... it's damned annoying! needs a click or drum track :)
The absolute best guitar teacher on UA-cam. You have made me sound like Jimmy Page. I can’t believe how good I sound. It’s a great piece of music for getting your chops together. Not in a million years would I have thought I would be able to play this masterpiece. But now I can. It took me a few weeks but I got it. Thank you. Wow.
Wonderful fun .. I met Bert at a small gig in Edinburgh .. I had been working to meet a Train to London Deadline & got there for the last half of the set & was lucky enough to be able to stand in the side area where I could see up close .. Enthralling .. & after the show I offered to buy him a Drink .. He was very nice about it but he put one of his big hands on my shoulder & said softly to my ear " do you see those two gorgeous girls at the Bar ? To which I nodded yes & he said well they have already asked me to join them & I don't need you cramping my style " .. What could I say ? Bye Bert . Lol I had been ready with lots of questions on strings choice & recording etc but .. Like so many many musicians if you ask them what 1st got them interested ? The answer is often " to meet girls " .. Wishing you & yours all the best stay safe & keep on being the coolest of the How to play sites . Best Content miles ahead of so many others . Bye
Excellent tutorial. This song has been on my "impossible" list for 40 years. I just learned it in 2 days thanks to this video. On behalf of all the struggling guitarists in the world, I thank you.
@@ajs8725its really easy to learn from tabs,try ultimate guitar tabs website. Every note is represented by a number,0= an open string,1= the first fret,2=the second fret,3=third fret & so on. Each string EADGBE You will see the number on let's say a D you will see D=0 G=2 B=3 E=2 0232. You will know what I mean when you start. I'm learning dan c Holloway's songs from his tabs. Get tabs & listen to the song, Any tricky bits just learn the finger pattern slowly until you can play it to speed & away you go again,hope you have fun
I find it interesting that this particular tune played in DADGAD makes the guitar sound similar to a 12 string. I suppose the A, and the D being compounded by the octaves would lend to this sound. Another excellent tutorial. Thank you for posting!
Everybody has a favorite teacher on YT. I'm not one to readily dote on YT guitar instructors, but I do make an exception in your case. Your performance of this number at the beginning of the video is flawless and rivals JP's if not better. Your method of teaching is incredibly clear, concise, straight forward and professional. I love the fact that you cater to the intermediate to advanced players like myself without explaining which fret on which string to place every finger for every single chord. And finally, your conversational eloquence is a breath of fresh air. You are by far the go to channel every time I need to learn a tune without rival. The only time I go somewhere else is if you don't happen to include a particular song or instrumental on your list. Thank you again... and again!
Hi Andy. Heard you're not doing too great at the moment. Hope to have you back in the saddle soon. You are a fine teacher and such pleasant company of an evening when the family are away to bed and I can get my guitar out. Wishing you good health sir. Oh and I made a donation too yesterday. Everyone should if they are getting something from these tutorials. C'mon loyal subscribers! If Andy can't work just now he can't earn so I'm sure even the smallest of donations would be welcome
I "learned" this when I was about 17 from the tab in a Led Zeppelin song book. The tab included advice from Jimmy Page but it was incomplete and hard as hell to get from tablature. Over the years it has faded so I'm thrilled to find you have covered it. I have just finished Bron-Yr-Aur (still working on the rough patches and was hoping for Black Mountain Side and here it is. I upped my donation amount! Thank you! (Now I'm going to ask you to look at Chicago Transit Authority for you next video - hidden gems: Listen, I'm A Man, South California Purples.) Carry on!
You've got the best Zeppelin tutorials hands down. Great thing about you is that you breakdown the entire song down to the last element and build it ground up there from.
Same. In my rather isolated world as a teenager with classical musician parents listening to Led Zeppelin, I didn’t even know that DADGAD existed. 😅 So I basically decided that this tune was just somewhere so beyond my abilities that I may as well not even try. Much later I learned about open tunings and it seemed maybe a possibility. But this lesson is a godsend.
Okay, my last obsession was Bron-Yr-Aur and got that one done. Now this is my new obsession. Thanks for this tutorial. I think I need to do this one next.
At the end, when you commented about struggling with measures 12-14, I felt so validated! That part took me forever. I finally got it when I really paid attention to the musical notation. It's so helpful to have that with the tabs! This is such a fun piece of music. Thx, Andy, as always, for such a stellar tutorial.
I know this channel and your website are designed to monetize your musical skill and passion and that is fine but what makes your stuff so special is that you cannot monetize your clear generosity and respect to other lovers of the music that you play and that is why we appreciate you. Just saying you know.
These are by FAR the most consistent and accurate transcriptions/ lessons on You Tube. Hands down! Some sites MAY have a little more accuracy here n there...BUT only in a specific genre and really inaudible to most people. It's all opinion anyways. It amazes me how "right" everything sounds with each lesson. I dont even question anything here at this point....usually blows away any other "version". This is the FIRST place I look for accuracy. Always informative and quite frankly amazes me every time I find a lesson. Keep up the good work!
I said it last year and I'll say it again. A BIG THAAAAAANK YOU. You do such amazing working and it's amazing how you share this. No BS no "look at me" no endless pointless talking. Thank you
Thank you for doing this lesson! What a great song, and as always, you do a great job teaching. Please never stop doing your lessons. Rock on brother. 🎸🎼
FINALLY!!!! Somebody showing us how to play this!!!!! FINALLY!! Isn't any worthy video on UA-cam showing how to play this tune. THANK YOU BROTHER,! Thank you
This is the BEST cover of this song; I can hear everything accurately reproducing what Jimmy Page actually plays. Thank you for this video/tutorial! I use a thumbtack - but your plectrum and fingers sound just spot-on. I'll have to work on this. Thanks to the great Bert Jansch as well.
As always, flawless execution and clear/concise explanation...thank you! Only thing I am missing is the section of frenzied pulloffs that would occur at about the 2:14 mark.
I'm floored by this song, always had skipped past it as a teen b/c no lyrics, just now seeing how beautiful and complex it is after having a go at That's the Way and following the recommendation to this page. Like someone said earlier, what a great way to get your chops together!!! Page gets short shrift from younger guitar aficionados for not being Van Halen and for playing sloppy in shows some times. The dude was versatile, and could produce and compose!
this is such a fun tune to play. it has a way of becoming an entity unto itself when you really get that little groove going. such a great piece, and i love watching others perform their interpretation of it so much. thanks again sir, you are without question a fabulous teacher, and a very talented young man to boot!
okay....you surely know what a huge fan I am of your work here. years of learning matierial by the old skool method of drop needle or press play on cassette or CD, listen, try to play, repeat..has led to my having learned a lot of stuff wrong. every once in a while, I've learned something so wrong--that the correct way does not sound right to my ear and it seems this section is one of them. @6:48, that second section with the sliding chords. I've always played it starting with (going to try to use your terminology) 3A and 2e and then sliding up to 5A and 4e (I also usually have the b string fretted at both the 3rd and 5th fret, making for a 3 string chord at both places and may or may not sound that string out until sliding up to 5th position). For all I know I could have that baked in to my memory from having also enjoyed listening to Bert Jansch's Black Waterside? I do not know if it is an accurate memory of either or any version or just one of my many examples of having "heard it wrong"? if anyone has truly researched "the correct" way to play any song, it would be you. you are always super accurate.
Fantastic as always. This will be a real discipline test for me. Although there are some people here who learned it in a few days, it would definitely take me weeks because I’d have to spend a lot of time on each individual section. That said I was working on the main riff, and , could see the improvement after some constant effort. You have an amazing gift, Andy. Cheers.
Wow, I learned to play this in 1970 when this album play on nearly every airwaves and record player (turntable Haha) in the country. Andy, never saw anyone else cover or teach it.... too cool !
Thanks for all these tutorials, it makes even songs like this seem possible for a bad intermediate player like me. I've spent the last few weeks trying each art (for only an hour every few days) and it's the middle part I struggle with. Think it's time for a break.
17 years ago I was at a guitar seminar where John Renbourn (another Pentangle alumnus) was the guest instructor. I remember him playing a cassette tape of Davey Graham (the guy who wrote Anji and popularized DADGAD tuning). One of the tunes Davey played sounded a lot like Black Mountain Side, so I assumed Jimmy Page might have got it from him... Is a wonderful tune! Thanks for the very clear explanation of how it's played.
@@gregshirley-jeffersonboule6258 The OP says Jansch played it in drop D but page played it DADGAD down a half note. He also says that Al Stewart (Year of the Cat) taught it to page during a studio session. I don't know what year the Davey Graham recording Renbourn had was recorded. My impression was that it was early. We could ask Mr. Renbourn but you'd need a medium. I know something about music, but don't claim to know everything (or remotely close to it).
This is great, I really appreciate you taking the time to add this to an already great collection of songs to play. I'm glad that you made it a point that the tuning is in DADGAD down another half step. Sometimes I wonder if Jimmy slowed the tape down on purpose just like "No Quater" He plays it in the key of D when live, and on the record, it's C#. Anyway, it's important to get the tunings right on all Zep tunes that way no one can say, "That doesn't sound right." You nailed it once again! Thanks, Andy.
Dear God, I love ya, the hours of joy you bring to me, you have no idea. You are my favorite guitar coach in the world, even if the shit you play is far above my pay grade even though I've dabbled for 40 yrs, lololo. I'm actually a drummer, but I'm also a strummer and a singer, and I don't know of ANYBODY on UA-cam as talented as you. Peace from Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. On a canal, on a big lake.😇
Great lesson and love your joy in the licks - I believe there is a pinched top E 5th fret in unison with the open G in the last part of the second figure. Pinkie finger is right there and it initiates descending line (5-4-2-0). This is also apparent on the recording though it is muted (hybrid picking I noticed does that). I play the Bert Jansch version and the note is in his version also.
You’re completely right about the timing. I didn’t realize the exact moments I was going out of time of until I played it with the record! After the first part it gets really weird because it changes the main lick from being on beat (or off beat, how ever you perceive it) to the opposite during the first variation of part 2 (6:22), and then changes back to normal after the second variation of part 2 (13:03). Lesson is practice with a metronome fellas!
Incredible lesson, been trying to figure this out for years, tough tune timing and feel wise, interesting to compare to Bert Jansch, his timing seems all over the place to me...but still incredibly effective
Would you consider doing a short video on the basics of Page’s hybrid picking on his take of “White Summer”. I’ve tried for quite some time to find materials (vids) other than TABS to play but am coming up short. Even a 5 min vid explaining the common pattern he plays in his opening of the song would be a fantastic help
Hola...mi nombre es Claudio Estay, y soy de Santiago de Chile y te siguo desde hace 2 años y he aprendido mucho de lo que has mostrado, te felicito...tienes una gran tecnica y gran sonido..
Another testimony to your incredible teaching abilities ! Please throw a hint to which model Taylor's you use for your videos, I know they differ but inquiring musical minds want to know. Like me !! Another Bravissimo my brother.
Fantastic job dude. With your expertise I would love a tutorial on “windy and warm” by Doc Watson. I’d be much in debt to you for that one. Nonetheless, hope you’re doing well. Thank you for all you do. I’ve learned so much from you and your channel

Pinkie finger is right there and it initiates descending line (5-4-2-0). This is also apparent on the recording though it is muted (hybrid picking I noticed does that). I play the Bert Jansch version and the note is in his version also.
This is great! You are a communicative instructor and i appreciate your channel.
Great sound and easy to follow tutorial. What guitar are you using?
This has been so helpful. Thank you.
amazing Tutorial !! that will keep me busy for a long time!
thank you!
Beautiful, inspiring playing. Thank you!
I figured this out on my own and now I see all my mistakes- thank you
You’re completely right about the timing. I didn’t realize the exact moments I was going out of time of until I played it with the record!
After the first part it gets really weird because it changes the main lick from being on beat (or off beat, how ever you perceive it) to the opposite during the first variation of part 2 (6:22), and then changes back to normal after the second variation of part 2 (13:03). Lesson is practice with a metronome fellas!
You're the man...simple!
very good best I've seen on the patchy youchoob. kind of learnt this years ago, kind of gave up. there's a lot to remember
I knew you would eventually do this Andy
Nothing but the beast
3:26 and 4:27 just making a reference point so can practice the main part over several times! Thx
Incredible lesson, been trying to figure this out for years, tough tune timing and feel wise, interesting to compare to Bert Jansch, his timing seems all over the place to me...but still incredibly effective
Absolutely incredible as always!
Now I can finally climb that black mountain. Thank you.
Get this guy to a million subs come on
Oh man! Thank you for this. Can’t wait to learn it.
Fantastic playing, great tune. Thanks
Would you consider doing a short video on the basics of Page’s hybrid picking on his take of “White Summer”. I’ve tried for quite some time to find materials (vids) other than TABS to play but am coming up short. Even a 5 min vid explaining the common pattern he plays in his opening of the song would be a fantastic help
Hola...mi nombre es Claudio Estay, y soy de Santiago de Chile y te siguo desde hace 2 años y he aprendido mucho de lo que has mostrado, te felicito...tienes una gran tecnica y gran sonido..
Another testimony to your incredible teaching abilities ! Please throw a hint to which model Taylor's you use for your videos, I know they differ but inquiring musical minds want to know. Like me !!
Another Bravissimo my brother.
Thanks Michael! There's a link to my gear page in the description box below each video. I list everything I use there. Cheers
Fantastic video, I always wondered how that was played (since 1969..!!).
Thanks :)
Fantastic job dude. With your expertise I would love a tutorial on “windy and warm” by Doc Watson. I’d be much in debt to you for that one. Nonetheless, hope you’re doing well. Thank you for all you do. I’ve learned so much from you and your channel
