Cool selection! So many great riffs on Physical Graffiti....Kashmir is epic and famous but I can't pick a favourite when you have Custard Pie, the Rover, IMTO Dying, In the Light, Wanton Song, etc, etc vying for attention. Excellent stuff Carl 👍
Thank you! Bognar LaGrange drive pedal straight into the 1982 Marshall JCM 800 100 watt amp. I go in the low input with preamp up to 10 (which actually bypasses the preamp and routes the signal right to the power tubes so it’s clean amping!). Add a spit of verb and delay. And there it is!

Thank you! And because you asked…I’m going to shoot a breakdown of the whole track right away. Be on the lookout for it. Kashmir is arguably the greatest Led Zeppelin track, all things considered!
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic Legend Carl 👏 Yes incredible song, the whole structure, the vibe and feel about it with the Middle Eastern influence. Definitely in Led Zep's top 5 greatest.

Daaamn Karl, did these bring back some memories of my jr. high and early high school days...Nazareth! Yeah baby. And Led Zeppelin my all time favorite. ACDC my second concert. Great stuff.
Thank you for noticing. I put in a ton of time in trying to nail those riffs/sounds. The hours really add up just get them close. I’m super deliberate about the details…it’s my strength and my weakness (if I can’t get it right!). It’s always the last 5-10% that is the hardest. And sometimes it’s just not possible to get there! Then you learn acceptance! ;)
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic ahhh yes…acceptance…learning that now with my home studio…realized it’s never gonna churn out stuff that sounds like it came from Abbey Road or Sound City…seriously though, you are an amazing guitarist and the work you put in on your vids does not go unnoticed. The future looks bright for your channel! 🙌
Nice selection. I didn't know Nazareth was from Scotland. I still own and listen to my iPod classic (walking the dog, etc), and it keeps track of the songs you've listened to the most of the past 15 years, or however old it is. For a very, very long time, my no. 1 song is Bad Company's "Shooting Star", from the same album featured in this episode.
Awesome Carl! I don’t know what’s coming up, but I’d add: Sweet Emotion, Slow Ride, everything on Physical Graffiti (!), something from Kiss, Crazy on You, Stranglehold, Tush, Shooting Star, Man on the Silver Mountain, Snake Charmer, Anthem, Fly by Night, Bastille Day. The 70s baby!

Outtake was awesome. Carl, you should play in a band! just kidding. Hey the video lighting, sound quality, editing and playing was exceptional here. Your attention to detail is noticed.
Thank you so much for noticing. My editor Billy and I have really put a lot of thought into every aspect and I think we've got the quality up to a 1st class level! Not by accident or luck! It means a lot that you commented on it!
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic you pop right off the screen, super clear with balanced lighting for your guitar, beard, jacket and turquoise necklace. Nice touch with candles in background, great selection on depth of field. Content creators notice well done production (many are jealous 😉)
Love your channel and your best riffs! Thanks for all of your efforts to share your/our passions! When you are ready for 1978 ... I recommend the amazing riffs of "Lip Service" by Kim Mitchell of the Canadian band Max Webster. They were close pals with Rush. You will not be disappointed!
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic Also. the AMAZING lick intro of Sails of Charon by the maestro Uli John Roth- off the Taken by Force album of the ... wait for it ... Scorpions. This song intro is such build and the intro solo is so exciting- you can see Roth's influence on EVH. Truly a beautiful piece of rock n roll invoking some classical elements.
You're right in my sweet spot with these mid-70s lists! I love everything you've covered, but I happen to be a Kansas freak, in particular. So, a couple more epic 1975 riff suggestions are Kansas's Down the Road from Song for America (Feb '75) and Child of Innocence from Masque (Sep '75). Thanks for keeping the good stuff alive! --Jeff Wagner
I was really surprised back when I learned Kashmir was played in DADGAD I've always played that in standard tuning and it sounds the same. I was actually playing that song with another guitarist who was actually playing in DADGAD and I in standard and you couldn't tell the difference. Because I've played it in standard for so long it feels very unnatural for me to play it in DADGAD lol I really love DADGAD though, it was actually Jimmy Page who introduced me to that tuning. I was messing around with the acoustic guitar one day trying to figure out "Black Mountainside" from the first album and couldn't seem to figure out why I wasn't getting it? It seemed relatively easy but I just couldn't find it. I hopped on line and looked it up and lo and behold my first introduction to DADGAD. It changed my life, I love that tuning and have written a few acoustic songs very important to me because of it. "Thanks Jimmy"👍
Hi Carl...good to see (and hear) you again.....love your videos....love your good humor...😀...we all need that (and plenty of rock...preferably fom LED Zep)
I forgot how great a year 1975 was for rock music. Of course, I was only 8 at the time, so I was stuck listening to what my parents listened to. It wouldn't be much afterwards that I was listening to FM rock radio and corrupting myself! Loved the first guitar you were playing for "Kashmir" and "T.N.T.". I really like those lipstick pickups and the unique sound they give. I believe Jimmy Page played a guitar with said pickups on several Zep tunes. I have been looking for a lefty Dano bass for a while, though I don't like the Longhorn bass that is somewhat easy to find. The "shorthorn" silver sparkle bass is rather gaudy but much cooler!
This may be sacrilege on here, but as someone who loves classic rock riffs, I've found that Greta Van Fleet has a bunch of really good ones. I thought it might be cool if you covered maybe 5 of their riffs. Regardless, thanks, Carl!
Another great countdown... Casey Kasem ain't got nothing on you! LOL... Seriously... Can't wait for the next segment... The 60's , 70's and the early half of the 80's are probably my favorite period in modern music history.. There was so much diversity in that period. I would also say My parents record collection was as big an influence on me as anything... My parents had very eclectic and sophisticated tastes... And it certainly rubbed off on me...
Awesome! Love to hear that! Can you tell me 1) how did you find? and 2) why did you click through? I’m very curious if there’s something I can learn from your experience!
Thanks for noticing. So much of it comes from listening very closely to the original performances and dialing each one in, but the last 10% is all about truly understanding the part and the micro nuances of sound and feel.
Bad Co. seems to have “borrowed” that strong riff from The Who Live at Leeds, I believe it was on the “Overture” portion but it may have been from some other long instrumental part. See if you can find it!
Nice one Carl! You did Nazareth but how cool would it be to showcase the e-bow solo in Love Hurts?!! Also, from an Aussie, work on your 'Oi!' but you nailed the tone of the riff!! :-) Keep it up my man
That was great fun. Would love to hear a breakdown of the end solo in Feel Like Making Love, one of Ralphs' best. The Nazareth song was very welcome too. RiP Dan McCafferty. 💙
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic: Great, cheers! Mick Ralphs is pretty overlooked for a guy who was in two major bands. His solos in Mott the Hoople were exemplary. And in Bad Co, of course, but Paul Rodgers played more lead as the band went on.
You can do a stripped down Kashmir just by having drop D tuning or an even more stripped down standard tuning. The first time I saw ACDC on their first tour of the UK was 76 when I was 15 in a huge hall and only about 70 people in the audience and they were brilliant. If I still had the badges & stickers they would be worth a lot of money now. I'm a classic rocker and Free/Bad Company is my music and from possibly the best classic rock album of all time Straight Shooter and very easy to play in it's basic form. (2nd is Montrose 1st album) I don't remember the Nazareth track but the start reminds me more of Free Ride on a Pony I like Aerosmith but the riff is Montrose Space Station Number 5 played faster.
You could've done the whole episode just using Physical Graffiti - Custard Pie, The Wonton Song, Houses Of The Holy, The Rover, In The Light, Ten Years Gone, In My Time Of Dying, lol.
Hard to leave off Walk this Way right? But I too love Toys in the Attic. Just killer. I just listened to the 6-10, but I’d squeeze Anthem by Rush on there.
You couldn’t escapee hearing them in 1975, but for the most part, I never listened intently or tried to play them. But I have such great appreciation for it all now!
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic You got it Carl. Give me a couple days. Just to give you a few albums from that year... Ziggy Stardust, Exile on Mainstreet, Rio Grande Mud, The Eagles, Talking Book, Transformer, Machine Head, They only Come Out at Night. I'll give you enough to pick from that you can do something you feel will be good for you entire audience. BTW: Loved this episode. Great guitar licks!
1972, a great year in music. It's hard to believe it was 50 years ago. One thing about that era was the acoustic guitar was still part of the vocabulary of most of the biggest rock artists.

Its so hard to copy Manny Charlton...for some reason...I know..... Why that is? Idont know...hes got a flow in his playing that doesnt make angular riffs sound "angular".. till you try to play them.. that is. But never the less - a fantastic video. Subscribed.
Thank you! It’s interesting that you said it’s hard to copy Nazareth’s guitar player. When I first tried to play that riff, I thought “oh, this isn’t as easy as I thought!” There was something awkward about the walk up and the ending walking down with the F# - G - E bend. I had to have a ton of goes at it to get it to good naturally! You really are right on. Sadly, I didn’t even know his name I’m ashamed to say, and even sorrier to know that he just passed away not too long ago. Thanks for bringing Manny and your insights to my attention! RIP Manny Charlton.
The Young brothers were born in Scotland and immigrated to Australia when they were young. They and the band was formed in Melbourne, Australia. I didn’t realize it myself!
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic I meant the lip stick pick up job in your lap, nothing against the Kay. My 1st electric Guitar was a 1 pickup harmony Strat-O-Tone. They supposedly had a DeArmond pickup. I wish I'd kept it sometimes.
That was awesome. Bad words are OK in rock. Bleep away :-D The out take was killer, but the "Oi' needs more 'don't give a rats' attitude. Most of the riffs were quite simple, but so damn good. LZ being the exception. Jimmy was clearly connected to a different plane to us mere mortals. BTW, I love your riff. About time we had some Baldassarre Rock :-).
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic Excellent! Looking forward to it. One of my favourite Tull albums featuring thundering work from Martin Barre and that delicate acoustic touch of Ian Anderson.
Carl, a request. Could we have a somewhat in depth look at your beautiful, unique Les Paul sometime? I'm quite curious every time I see it. Thanks. Oy. Oy vey!
Bad Company: criminally misrepresented by the vanity label Swan Song. Somewhat surprising Paul Rogers joined Jimmy Page in The Firm after that. True to the Led Zeppelin 1 cover of the Hindenburg exploding in flames, Swan Song imploded due to apathy and the Atlantic label released the albums, getting away from the drug-addled Peter Grant.

Ok. I’ve steered clear of them, but based on your suggestion I’ll give them a fair listen!
Love your attention to detail and the high quality of content you bring. How about Saturday Night Special from Lynyrd Skynyrd?

Bad Co. seems to have “borrowed” that strong riff from The Who Live at Leeds, I believe it was on the “Overture” portion but it may have been from some other long instrumental part. See if you can find it!
My hope is that in an alternate universe you can be the guitar teacher I never had.
That’s very kind! I’m humbled:)
That would be amazing. Carl has a level of sensitivity to the subtle qualities of music that others don’t quite have. And he is such a nice guy.

What is that first guitar you're playing? Is it some kind of Danelectro? It's very cool I'm unfamiliar with it
You can do a stripped down Kashmir just by having drop D tuning or an even more stripped down standard tuning.
The first time I saw ACDC on their first tour of the UK was 76 when I was 15 in a huge hall and only about 70 people in the audience and they were brilliant. If I still had the badges & stickers they would be worth a lot of money now.
I'm a classic rocker and Free/Bad Company is my music and from possibly the best classic rock album of all time Straight Shooter and very easy to play in it's basic form. (2nd is Montrose 1st album)
I don't remember the Nazareth track but the start reminds me more of Free Ride on a Pony
I like Aerosmith but the riff is Montrose Space Station Number 5 played faster.

Riffs: 1975, all from Physical Grafitti. I’m obsessed with Led zeppelin.
Me too
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic They are the best. Jimmy Page is a master guitarist. The band is incredible.
Its so hard to copy Manny Charlton...for some reason...I know..... Why that is? Idont know...hes got a flow in his playing that doesnt make angular riffs sound "angular".. till you try to play them.. that is. But never the less - a fantastic video. Subscribed.
Thank you! It’s interesting that you said it’s hard to copy Nazareth’s guitar player. When I first tried to play that riff, I thought “oh, this isn’t as easy as I thought!” There was something awkward about the walk up and the ending walking down with the F# - G - E bend. I had to have a ton of goes at it to get it to good naturally! You really are right on. Sadly, I didn’t even know his name I’m ashamed to say, and even sorrier to know that he just passed away not too long ago. Thanks for bringing Manny and your insights to my attention! RIP Manny Charlton.
Holy crap! All this time I thought AC/DC was British! What they're from Australia?!
The Young brothers were born in Scotland and immigrated to Australia when they were young. They and the band was formed in Melbourne, Australia. I didn’t realize it myself!
Nice old Harmony.
Do you mean the old Kay acoustic on the wall?
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic I meant the lip stick pick up job in your lap, nothing against the Kay. My 1st electric Guitar was a 1 pickup harmony Strat-O-Tone. They supposedly had a DeArmond pickup. I wish I'd kept it sometimes.
That was awesome. Bad words are OK in rock. Bleep away :-D The out take was killer, but the "Oi' needs more 'don't give a rats' attitude. Most of the riffs were quite simple, but so damn good. LZ being the exception. Jimmy was clearly connected to a different plane to us mere mortals. BTW, I love your riff. About time we had some Baldassarre Rock :-).
Thank you!!
June 1975.
Der dun, der dun... dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun.
Well, it 'could' be a guitar riff I guess.
What? No Minstrel in the Gallery?
I am saving that for its own special episode!
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic Excellent! Looking forward to it. One of my favourite Tull albums featuring thundering work from Martin Barre and that delicate acoustic touch of Ian Anderson.
Great 👍 76 way better riffs, so many wicked ones & underplayed 😅!! Seems 1975 has songs that are overplayed on commercial radio. 😢
Carl, a request. Could we have a somewhat in depth look at your beautiful, unique Les Paul sometime? I'm quite curious every time I see it. Thanks.
Oy. Oy vey!
Haha! yes...I am preparing an in-depth review of my #1 les paul! it's got an interesting/mystery background...
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic Great!
Bad Company: criminally misrepresented by the vanity label Swan Song. Somewhat surprising Paul Rogers joined Jimmy Page in The Firm after that. True to the Led Zeppelin 1 cover of the Hindenburg exploding in flames, Swan Song imploded due to apathy and the Atlantic label released the albums, getting away from the drug-addled Peter Grant.
I forgot that bad company was on swan song.
Very american-biased list. Cast a wider net and you’ll get a more worthy result.
Oy vey.
you need a new singer
That is a crappy sounding guitar
Well thank you for that! I guess it’s not for everybody! Peace to you anyway!
