Jones played double tracked recorders and a Hohner Electra Piano. No Mellotron. Am pretty sure he used pedals for the secret bass. Great work isolating the tracks. So cool to hear.
Page didn't have a Les Paul until after Zeppelin IV was recorded. Joe Walsh gave him his '59 LP Standard, which was first used on Houses of the Holy. Page has stated he used a Telecaster to record the solo to Stairway, and a Hallmark Swept-Wing for all the clean electric 6-string parts.
Not mellotron flutes! (Although live, yes, of course.) JPJ arranged a quartet of recorders! Once you realize this you can hear it in the timbre and slight breathing. Mellotron flutes (which are tapes of real concert flutes) sound very different. See Strawberry Fields Forever. For a recorder comparison listen to Ruby Tuesday. Also, listen to the live Stairway and hear how different it sounds.
Don't know about that. All the recorder parts together sound like what I'm hearing on this alternate version of a Led Zeppelin song. ua-cam.com/video/SiFVUiDvcsI/v-deo.html Starts at 1:36
Great isolated tracks! Never thought I'd hear this. More Led Zeppelin will be greatly appreciated. Maybe Rush, Nirvana, Frank Zappa. Either way excellent work on your channel!
Okay, let's look under the hood and see what makes this track tick... Oh look! A John Bonham drive train; and John Paul Jones cam shaft; a Jimmy Page feul injection system; and Robert Plant spark plugs! I should have known....
21:27 On the ''la'' (of lady) it sounds like it was a double track where Plant doesn't quite hit the E on either one. If anyone has a different take, I'd love to hear it.
@@DLD2Music No, he's actually right it was his Fender Telecaster that Jeff Beck gave him, Jimmy confirmed this in an interview where he said:“I basically got my [Fender] Telecaster out to do that solo,” says Page. “It was the same Telecaster that I’d played on the first album, the one Jeff Beck had given me that I’d used in The Yardbirds, a bit of a magical guitar, really.”
@@yannikhd7538 Yes you are correct. I am friends with Bootled Zeppelin here in London and the guitarist confirms that Jimmy has stated it is Becks Tele on the solo.
Recorded on 4 tracks, bounced down throughout the recording process to make room for more tracks. Guitar tracks were mixed down on top of each other, and there are several; the 12-string tracks (2 at least), the clean electric track, the 2 acoustic tracks, the distorted electric rhythm, and the solo when he finally worked it out.
@@DLD2Music : Yeah thanks, but there's still a couple minutes of it missing, and what's audible is actually bleeding through. The EP should be there at the 16:47 mark, but it's missing. No worries!! Thanks for providing what you did!!
It sounds as though Bonham was double-tracked throughout this recording, especially during his fills and the "And as we wind on down the road" section, you can hear a faint backing track. Regardless, Bonham TOTALLY ROCKS this song as he did on everything he ever recorded!
Led Zeppelin nothing can compare. The Universe was aware as with the Beatles. Something was aligned to bring them together. I enjoy playing them loud. Thank you for this.
MGL 😂 Queen were heavily criticised when they first started as a Led Zeppelin knock off. Taylor was aping Bonham and Mercury pranced and preened around aping Plant. Take out the operatic bit in the middle and Bohemian Rhapsody is just another Stairway wannabe.
Probably just because I am a drummer myself, but especially in the actual song Bonham’s ride cymbal just makes the part he plays it in sound mystical. It’s amazing to hear it isolated!
Great job! The more I listen to this song, the more my love and admiration for these amazing guys grows. Stairway is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded, its beauty is ethereal, timeless, it's like a mystical journey through the universe. And I had the privilege of being born listening to this masterpiece. Today, May 24, 2022, I turned 36 years old. 36 years of great love for Zeppelin ❤️
Me pregunto si los que odian las flautas dulces son fans de stairway to heaven. Sería hilarante verlos como una de sus piezas favoritas fue lograda gracias a estas, demostrando que ese instrumento puede servir para algo
Good ear. You're right about the recorders, and the electric piano. Wiki says it is a Hohner electra-piano, like this: ua-cam.com/video/zx581oBhNv4/v-deo.html
I love Led Zeppelin, always have, but I could never claim to be an utterly devoted, tee shirt wearing, know all the titles and words to all their songs kind of fan. Having said that, I must say that this one song, has got to be one of the very, very few songs to ever have been created to honestly be considered THE pinnacle of rock music. So much so, that no matter whose version of it, or cover that has been created since then, can evoke the same emotional response or spiritual energy. Even Dolly Parton's version, and I adore her. :)
@SNAKERADIOCUSTOMS CLASSICS Well, maybe on the actual isolated tracks, but these aren't that. It's clearly done with one of those AI track isolation apps, that's why there's all the muddiness and audio artifacts. The bleed is where the algorithm failed to separate the instruments cleanly.
I heard John Paul Jones in an interview say they were recorders, ( small straight woiden flutes )which many of us played in elementary school. It seems those days are gone. It would be tough for a kid to learn on Zoom.
Rated among the greatest rock songs of all time... and yet if only we could deconstruct its lyrics: "If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now. It's just a spring clean for the May queen." Seriously?!!
@@cgab12 - Supposing your explanation is correct, how many aficionados of Jimmy Page's superior guitar or of Bonham's transcendent drumming have any real knowledge or interest in hearing "a tribute to Pan through imagery"?
I have just had it confirmed by the guitar player in Bootled Zeppelin (a friend) that Jimmy has indeed stated that he used the Tele given to him by Beck for the solo on Stairway To Hell.
@@BigSky1 i have been listening to it for a while now and im still not tired of it; seems like this song will never get old, tired, boring, or annoying for me
@@jammy3662 I was born listening to this song 35 years ago. I listen every day. And even though I've heard it thousands of times I can't get enough, I still get emotional and goosebumps, especially when the solo starts. I don't know when I will die but my family knows that this masterpiece will be played at my funeral.
@@DLD2Music We shall have to disagree. I read back in the 1970s that JPJ had overdubbed recorders on the track (confirmed by Wikipedia). It does not sound like a mellotron to my ears.
At 28.21 I believe Page should have left out the lead guitar in the album version to let the 12 string guitars 'WHALE" for a while then.... bring in the lead guitar back in at 29.10 after the drum fill and then do the solo a 2nd time with the lead guitar just seems that building the song up more and more to the climax. Why stop with the solo once? Do it twice! I love the sound of two 12 strings going at it together cause you never hear this in music. As if there was such a thing as a 24 string guitar playing all along.
@@DLD2Music Hey man, I'm not knockin' ya I just found it funny is all. Thanks for isolating this it's interesting to hear, I didn't know that Jonesy put bass down for Stairway!
It seems to be split into multiple tracks however. 19:21 also has some of the piano playing (you can hear notes d-f#-g-a). I must say though, the electric piano is most audible on the drums and lead guitar track.

On the album as the solo is ending what instrument do you think is used for the four notes at 28:51, 28:56, 29:01 and 29:06?
Amazing!!
What is making that sound at the end of the solo in between each lick?
Can yo do Good times bad times?
Is Jimmy using reverb or chorus on the guitars? Tnx!
Idk

I noticed that too. Almost every snare hit sounds like a flam.
Fuck off , there’s no backing track.
I don’t think Page had any need to double-track Bonham. I would bet it’s been manipulated by Page at the mixing board.
It's was not a "secret bass", but the voice of Sauron claimed and longing for The One
Un crack

The acoustic guitar track is truly beautiful and melancholy.
Randy California probably thinks so.
@@Fakename70 Randy was too busy saving his son to worry about lawyers and his estate suing Led Zeppelin.
@Fakename70 other than the four opening notes, the songs have nothing in common.
Jimmy picked the best guitar for the job!
Mellotron flutes were featured live to reproduce the tracks. But these are recorders, not mellotron
There is nothing more powerful than Bonham's drumming

I thought it's been confirmed that the solo was a Telecaster?
yes
I read it was the Tele in an interview with Page in Guitar Player magazine.
28:51 The "Into The Unknown" intro melody sounded like this four-note slide guitar melody
Drum were Ludwig Green Spakle Kit, Page played the solo on his Dragon Fender Telecaster and Page uses both Fender and Vox 12 Strings.
While I do hear some Mellotron, that part is mostly recorders. I also hear Fender Rhodes and maybe organ, especially bleeding onto the vocal track.
Good ear. You're right about the recorders, and the electric piano. Wiki says it is a Hohner electra-piano, like this: ua-cam.com/video/zx581oBhNv4/v-deo.html

Geez. After listening to this song for nearly 50 years this is the first time it dawned on me the flutes were courtesy of a Mellotron.
