    Here's a fun Led Zeppelin story for you...
    This made my head explode, as I am a TOTAL Zeppelin freak (I even owned a Gibson Doubleneck when I was a teenager!)
    In 1997 I had a swing band gig, and as I was playing someone said "Led Zeppelin is here!"
    Huh?
    And before I knew it, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant along with their girl friends were dancing 6 feet in front of me as I was playing.
    What a trip! I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
    Lots of Love & hope you dig this new arrangement!
    Adam

      Taylor 314 CE - cheaper model. New Strings Martin with 11 on top - usually I play 12, but this axe sings better with 11. Lots of love in the mixing process :-). Thumpy fleshy fingers help "roll off the hi's" 🙂

    A great version. Loving the groove on this. One question... how do you deal with copyright on RUclips? I pretty much stopped uploading my own acoustic fingerstyle arrangements a while ago due to the fear of copyright strikes and the complications with uploading cover songs. Just wondering what your thoughts are on this and if you have encountered any problems. Thanks!

    • @adamrafferty
      @adamrafferty  Год назад +1

      Paul, most cover songs are fun. Just don’t upload Hotel California! What happens when you upload a cover song is you get a notice from RUclips saying that third-party contact has been detected, but that’s not a strike. That simply means that as Michelle, and in the case of this song, Led Zeppelin, Atlantic records, or whoever will make some of the money. Pretty cool as far as doing cover songs, but as I said, stay away from the Eagles, they are bastards. Good luck can’t wait to hear your videos!

    Unfortunately, you are not playing it correctly. You are lacking one note. Listen to the original. You play wonderfully but I noticed the difference immediately.

    • @adamrafferty
      @adamrafferty  Год назад

      Rick yes I made quite a few compromises:
      1.Not keeping the main riff during vocal
      2.Very tricky to hold tempo at 80, I am faster
      3. Highly shortened from original, as it’s hard to keep interest for 7 min…the average watch time on this is less than 57 sec!
      4. Yes, Robert Plant on the G minor part sings the low octave and then the high octave (if that’s what you mean) I cut right to his last vocal riff
      It’s all in the interest of also keeping the energy, sound and making a successful performance- much the way an artist with a pencil can’t convery all the colors.
      Let me know what else you think I could have done better!
