Led Zeppelin's "Living Loving Maid (She’s Just a Woman)" - Guitar Lesson [Song Breakdown]

  • In this episode, I discuss the track that Led Zeppelin never played live…Living Loving Maid (She’s Just a Woman). The track was released as the B-side single along with Whole Lotta Love on November 7, 1969. At the end of the video, I’ll tell you why I “dread” playing this song live!
    I open this video playing the lovely guitar solo by Jimmy Page.
    Disclosure: That is me playing the guitar solo live against a UA-cam backing track. I’m using my 1970/72 Les Paul into a Bognar gain pedal into my Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp.
    I cover several topics: 1. It’s one of Zeppelin’s shortest pieces at 2:40 2. It was often played back to back with Heartbreaker on radio 3. How it shares similar pitches and chromatic material with Heartbreaker 4.
    The riff starts with an open E and slides up to the A 5. How the chords of the riff are feather strummed and voiced 6. How the riff is one of the easiest riffs to learn and is a great beginner's “gateway” riff. 7. We discuss how the Chorus swings 8. How the band has a bit of a glitch at 0:26 seconds 9. The sus chords on the chorus and the clutch muting on the left-hand 10. The guitar solo dialogue between a sensual character and an eager “puppy dog” character 11. The difference between “listening and hearing” as you distinguish the slides, bends and picking styles of the solo 12. We demonstrate all the solo techniques as well as the hybrid picking on the chromatic climb to end the solo.
    There’s a lot of good content in this little pop song that I hope you’ll enjoy.
    Stemming from my 40+ years as a professional musician and composer as well as being a passionate musicologist, I bring a classical and historical perspective to my love of rock music by analyzing and playing some of the most iconic music of all time. At the heart of all my videos is my enthusiasm, my thirst for understanding, and a gift for sharing the simple to sublime with others. Music and people are my life.
    Whether you’re a guitar player, musician, songwriter or just a music enthusiast, I’m sure you will find
    something in these videos to inspire you and make you smile.
    If you like what you see, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! It really makes a difference!
    Also, give me some ideas for other songs you’d like me to dig into!

    I know this song is often overlooked because they never played it live, but it's actually a great song that highlights all of Zeppelin's strengths in a "3 minute pop song"... and it's forever attached to Heartbreaker so the two should always remain synonymous... I've been a Zeppelin fan for almost 40 years and they are the reason that I became a musician... this song deserves its place in Zeppelin's catalog of unmatched musical supremacy!!

      i thought I was the only one on earth who loves that song ! maybe I'm wrong but I also think that Plant sing it with a kind of voice we've never heard on any of zep songs ! and what a voice !
      this track seems very simple but unique in many ways !

    When Jimmy Page was putting the Remasters boxset together in 1990, he replaced Living Loving Maid with Communication Breakdown as the direct follow on song to Heartbreaker. I vaguely remember reading in an interview at the time he was experimenting with re-sequencing different songs, the 4CD box offering him the chance to do that, and he really liked how those two songs sounded coming back-to-back. Living Loving Maid eventually turned up in the second Remasters boxset, sequenced between Hots on For Nowhere and Royal Orleans, both tracks from Presence.

    consider myself a huge Led-Zeppelin-fan, your videos always make me *listen* to the songs again and again (not only "hearing" them, yes, that's a big, big difference).

    I wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying your videos. I didn’t think there was as big a Zeppelin/Page nut as myself but I was wrong. I can play some plenty of zeppelin, it’s recognizable as Zeppelin but you have worked out tiny nuances that sound great. I never considered LZ a swing band as you’ve mentioned a few times, and I was even going to ask for an example from you, but while listening to the live DVD that came out, back when page still had the Les Paul with the Bigsby, they took a serious, tension filled and dramatic song, How Many More Times, and they were swinging through it!
    I also very much appreciate your words describing LZII. Lustful, was perfect.
    Can’t wait for your take on Kashmir! I know it may be a while.
    Be well and rock on.

  • @tedpena692

    Mr. B = you have spoken great truths yet again!!!
    In my experience, many players overlook the fundamental importance of listening, as opposed to hearing. I think that's why back in the day (high school in the 70's) I would listen to the orchestra players in the School Band and think that they were missing something. Back then i didn't know why, but I think I do now. Those students were so intent on following the "rules" that they missed the beauty and mystery of what happens when you listen to the music for sheer joy. I was self taught, and learned by listening to the records I loved over, and over, and over again. I never mastered sight reading, and instead developed an ear that has served me well. I can play with many different musicians and style and freely improvise, just by relying on my ear.
    Also, I would LOVE to come see you play live, and shake your hand to thank you for bringing so much fun to us all!

    Man, if I went to a pub and some random bloke came on stage and laid down the entire Zeppelin II record with high precision to details, I'd be convinced we're living in a simulation, and our overlords were doing an experiment on me to see if it was possible to literally blow someones mind with an unexpected positive surprise. Zeppelin II is my favorite record ever, and also you kinda remind me a bit of Eddie Kramer.
    Would love to see one of these shows, either live, or on UA-cam.

    Just from the opening sequence, I feel you got one part exactly correct that I never hear anyone talk about. Jimmy Page had country influenced hybrid-picking, or as I learned it chicken-picking, quite early on. I "hear" him also doing that in the solo of Wonton Song. Yes, Wonton could be just done with a pick, but I hear something more. Right after Physical Graffiti came out, Page began his explorations into the B-Bender. I think that a rarely mentioned part of Page's playing is country influences. The Honey Drippers Sea of love solo is a pretty good indicator of how Zeppelin albums past 1980 might have sounded.

    The first time Robert Plant did this song live, solo, in the SF Bay Area, he introduced it by adking the audience "Do you have a sense of humor?" Then the band blew our minds and delighted us with the song 😁 You may be aware that he was adamantly against doing any Zeppelin music during his first couple solo tours, and eventually came to realize that, as an entertainer, sometimes you need to give the people what they want...and that's just what he did layer into his live shows 🙂

      Totally!!! My fender reverb amp is just a clean tube amp and the bogner pedal gives it that Marshall sound. I could fire up my JCM 800 and get it nice and loud and it would be even more authentic. I’d still use the Bogner, but dial it back just a bit to hit the input of the Marshall a tad so I don’t have to have it so loud! It would be great!!

    As a singer, I must first be able to "hear" the note clearly in my head before I can sing it. "Especially the high notes." Like you say hearing with focus is so important. So get comfortable, put on the headphones and close your eyes.

    Regarding listening versus hearing, I have always taught my daughter to paint "not what you think you see but what you actually see".
    Once you open your eyes to the colour and texture that is really there, rather than what you have been 'programmed' to see, you realise that they are often different.
    The same applies with music. Especially music of the 60s, 70s and 80s.
    Before formulaic music, there was much more going on underneath the surface.
    I often think that those dissonant tones and beat frequencies that come from guitar and the likes of draw bar organs are what make the difference between hearing and listening.
    Likewise with rythm. Before we had quantisation, there was 'feel' to a rythm section.
    I'm not saying it doesn't exist in music today but is infrequent. 🙁

    I always loved this song and remember being so sad when I first read Jimmy Page hated it, I remember the conjecture being his girlfriend (yikes lol) didn't like the song because it was written about one of the crazy groupies (not the mudshark kind thankfully) when they were still the "New Yardbirds".
    Plant also solo performed this on his 1990 tours! His voice on his Manic Nirvana tour better was 1972 worthy. He'd joke and tell the audience they weren't singing loud enough to help him out, he took that zeppelin song and a few of the others out of his later tours because they were straining, and he'd have done the page plant tours too I imagine he got all the led out.
    Since you give us so many fun zep facts hopefully this is one for you, during the PagePlant tours they tried out Hey Hey what Can i do live, and they scrapped it after the first two shows cause it was so impossible to recreate live.

      Idk how true it is. But I read somewhere that this is one of the few songs where page sings backup vocals for the chorus. Which is funny cause he talks all the time about how he hates singing. Plus I feel if you mix in the fact that he hates releasing “singles” because of how the radio ruins songs like whole lotta love, being 8 minutes. But this is just me connecting dots, so who really knows. Either way it’s an amazing song and video!

    I am a touch confused about the passage that starts at 15:04..is the pick hitting any notes at all,or just making the clicking sounds? Are you fretting any particular note for the picked notes?

    • @CarlBaldassarreMusic
      @CarlBaldassarreMusic  2 роки тому +1

      Apart from the first note…each note is plucked then picked. So I’m striking each note twice…once with an up-pluck with my middle finger and then immediately followed by a down stroke with the pick. That’s hybrid picking! It’s such an effective moment. And he never repeated this particular chirping effect on any other solis that I’ve found. But he hybrid picks a lot more than you might realize. The Song Remains the Same is loaded with it on most of the D parts.

      Actually, it is not the longest chromatic run when you consider live improvisation. Page did long chromatic pull-off runs using his first and fourth fingers, often on the high E string.

    After the 3 bends (full, full, min3rd) and release in the “puppy dog” response the lick on the record goes... E, D, C# whereas you just end with the D, C#. It sounded wrong when you played it so I referenced the record and you definitely missed a note there. Surprising given that this is the section you talked about hearing vs listening.
