    Dude. Sorry for calling you dude... I've been dreaming of playing this ever since I first heard it ('70 something). You are the first source for this song that actually makes me believe it is possible! Thank you for being so thorough and slow! Some were born rock thousands in an arena, some were born to dream about it (like me), some were born to be gifted enough to replicate perfection and share it to dreamers like me. I'll check your other stuff out, but for now you have hit the mark! Thank you so much for sharing your talent!!!!!!!!

    Imagining how amazing it would be to be able to play such a beautiful song , (or any song) , I assumed it would never be possible for me. It's 36 years later now , and because of you , I can now play this song like a pro. Thank you for sharing this.

  • @gib59er56
    @gib59er56 8 месяцев назад +1

    Hey Carl! Great breakdown of the most beautiful piece Pagey ever wrote. I did not know what alternate or chord open strings tunings for a few years as a beginner around 1979-1982, so I tried to figure it out with the basic EADGBE 440 tuning. Some parts were possible and others just did not make sense and I was stuck. Around 1984 I knew and I went right to Bron-y-Aur and figured it out. A couple small parts were nagging me so I just played thru it. After watching you, I am pissed at myself for the lack of patience I had as a young teen, cuz I now see it was right there in my face the whole time. You ROCK Carl ! I think we are the same age, and we both did the old "play, stop, rewind repeat!" stuff in the 80`s with no tab or anyone to guide you. Teachers sucked back then. The 2 guys I tried cuz they came by thru friends who claimed they were great. Not so much. Theory and making me learn "Rebel Rebel" by Bowie ....that type of stuff. Sorry for the long comment but that you for a great service to others Carl.

  • @burlslabs5452
    @burlslabs5452 7 лет назад +2

    When I was 13 in 1977 and just learning this was a "holy grail" song to me and my buddies (along with songs like Mood For a Day, Rain Song, etc). If you were lucky a dude down the street who could play or watching some cover band at a party up close was the only way to get tips on tough songs. Today youtube lessons have blown it all apart, and its awesome. A few years ago I decided to truly learn my "bucket list songs" (instead of faking them) and its been great. Thanks, Carl, for an excellent tutorial. And I didnt even need to turn you on to a quarter lid for showing me!

    Once I learned the correct tuning for this song(back in H.S.) from my teacher/friend Mike, I was astonished at how easy it was to play. When I first heard it, I imagined that it would be incredibly difficult to learn. I tried to play it in standard tuning, and got my fingers twisted like a pretzel. A few years later I met Mike, and he showed me the tuning and we took it from there. Within a week I was playing it non-stop, it is so beautiful. I cannot imagine what it would have been like with You Tube when I learned to play! You young people are lucky, but , us oplder players from the 80`s learned by ear and trial and error. I believe that is a vital part of learning to play. Your Ear!!! Feel the groove and hear it. It sure takes longer , but when you nail something, man what a feeling of accomplishment.

    Very clear, no-nonsense instruction. I remember picking this song up on the guitar during a summer holiday in France when I was eighteen, which was 28 years ago. I decided to try my hand at it again yesterday but discovered that (a) I had forgotten which tuning to use and (b) I had zero muscle memory for this song, probably because I didn't play it for long since my guitar needed to be in standard tuning shortly afterwards. This video helped get me quickly back on track. Thanks so much!

  • @breech123
    @breech123 3 года назад +4

    I first played my version one of this in standard tuning when I was a kid obsessed with it. I first heard it while watching the Song Remains the Same movie. The scene is; the band leaves their private jet and walk to the limo on the tarmac. Jimmy is filmed ducking into the limo as the instrumental begins. I had several iterations of Bron-yr-Aur in standard for many years, then I figured out he was in an alternate tuning. I first began messing with drop D which led me to other tunings including this one. I can now play this note for note and end up close to 'on time' on the stop watch. I went to a studio last year and recorded it. Two movie producers are using my studio version in their films for free. In that same inspirational tuning I created another instrumental last year and recorded it as well. Now both songs are being used in the films.
    In 2010 I created two smart phone apps for Jason Bonham's lead singer in his cover band JBLZE. Got back stage a dozen times, met Jason twice and once in a while we communicate in social media. At the university where I built those apps, we were offered a $100 award to make a video about the program plan we were in. I filmed myself playing Bron-yr-Aur on my acoustic with a scroll on the bottom speaking to the bacheloreat I was earning. I won. It's somewhere on RUclips and I sent it to JBLZE where I had applied to be lead singer James' guitar tech. They liked it too.
    In 2008 I befriended a youtuber musician back when we could still message privately, and told him his covers of the Beatles and Zeppelin were uncanny and that he would be a famous singer. Within a year he started the Virtual Zeppelin Band where none of the players ever met in person yet the Japanese producer/lead guitarist splices and split screened 5 Zep covers, their very best cover is 10 Years Gone. Turns out Jason was watching those VZ videos too. He secretly hired my RUclips musician singer friend to fly to Florida to try out for Jason's new band and got the gig. But he couldn't tell me. Sworn to secrecy. Then one day I bought tickets to see Jason and saw my friend on stage singing Zeppelin tunes with Jason. Mind blown. That band began in 2010 and is still touring today. When John passed in 1980, Zep cancelled 30 shows and broke up. In 2007 Jason played in place of his dad at the 02 Arena in London and was inaugurated as the 5th member of Led Zeppelin and by 2010 had the approval of his dad's old friends to go for it. JBLZE completed those 30 canceled shows and more, in honor of his father John.

      That's cool, man. I used to play a sort of version of Bron Yr Aur on the piano when I was younger. It's one of my favourite all time compositions. Nothing spectacular, but I was happy last night when I started messing with this that I remembered that I did play it in the key of C.
      So your friend was sworn to secrecy. Probably more than sworn. It was probably an official non disclosure agreement. And people wonder why stories about Boleskine House or the secret studio work Jimmy Page may have done is not discussed. Not to mention Beatle Bill. Cheers!

  • @daniellacroix-t9h
    @daniellacroix-t9h 10 месяцев назад +1

    When it comes to the final sequence of the tune, you can play 7-5-0-0 on EACH group of 4 strings instead of playing 5-5-0-0 (19:14) on the D-G-B-E strings (standard tuning name). I can't tell which version is "right", both sounding good to my ears. Anyway, I always wanted to play this correctly, so thanks a lot for this lesson !

    I watch all of your videos but I'm afraid some of this is played differently by Mr. Page. You should try using your thumb for that cool slide part. I find it easier and that's how Page played it. Also the initial slide on the A string is actually three notes, open A then the slide from the second fret to the third fret. (so three quick notes.)

  • @christopherprim1973
    @christopherprim1973 Месяц назад

    Every other version on YT is slower than Page's. I wonder what he was on, and/or what drove him. You can't standardize what Jimmy played in '74. I can't imagine he planned hammer-ons and slides precisely for the Physical Graffiti rendition. It had to be one of those flow things, where you have a lot of skill under the belt, and are excited about a new tune, and rip it up in the studio. The clipped notes make for a whole different descending arpeggio. We all would tend to play it smoother.
    Very good lesson. If you get the 2 main sections and outro down, you've got the song.

    I really like your teaching style. I have just learned the Led Zeppelin song "Bron-Yr- Aur" with your help. The song sounds just like it does on the album. You must have a great ear!
    I wanted to know if you have a lesson for the song "Little Martha" by the Allman Brothers band. If not, this would be a great song to add to your list. I have subscribed to your RUclips channel and am looking forward to learning some new songs from you!!
    Thanks
    Jack
