Arguably the greatest guitar lesson on a song where the guitar is almost completely buried
Haha thank you! I did my best to dig deep.
@@SpedSpedding Ab-so-lute legit pro-fessional. Nice. Nobody I'd rather take advice from.
First up Rock on Sped !! And yes am a true blue Zep addict, I saw the gods walk the earth June 11th 1977 MSG !!
Wow, what a time to be alive! Wish I was at that one. What was your highlight?
The band sounded really good based on what I have heard so far! All the No Quarters from that year captivate me, most especially 4/28
@@SpedSpedding The highlight ? From the first notes of SRTS ringing out till 3hrs later Jimmy power strutting gloriously across the stage as Heartbreaker rang out as the encore !! Pure Magic
@@paullogan5240 Ah wow, a treasured memory.
Same here, '77 at the Garden. Bought 3 tickets from scalpers when we got there. Bonzo was playing the stainless steel kit, and Jimmy had the white dragon/flower suit on and a captain's hat and sunglasses.
This song is so beautiful, thank you for doing this for the world.
It is! You're welcome Henry, enjoy playing it!
Since I was a kid listening to this song I’ve always been amazed by how many riffs are going on in this song. Like a cornucopia of riffs 😂
Mr Page is a musical genius. I love this tune. Brilliant.
Mr. Sped Spedding does the best Led Zeppelin guitar lessons! Thank you, sir, for another great video!
Could not agree more, there is Led Zeppelin and for accuracy ya got Speds Zeppelin !!!
Why thank you Bill! I'm stoked that you enjoy the lessons.
This is one of the better videos about playing guitar that I have seen in a while! I completely agree with you. It's not just guitar. This is great advice when it comes to learning how to do anything. If you try to force something, not only will you learn slowly but it more than likely will make you start to hate whatever it is you set out to get better at! Everyone learns differently. Until you realize what way you learn best, you will struggle to learn anything.
I’m so glad you liked this Doug! I had fun with it too.
Only 5 minutes in, and this is why you are SOOOO much better than a LOT of the other guitar tutorial videos i have ever watched/learned from!!!
i have ALWAYS heard that one extra chord pop in the main climbing riff and it threw me off!!!...(but occasionally i think Jimmy drops it, so that makes me crazy!!!...)
Your teaching abilities, and putting in the extra touches, put you on the level of a guy named Michael Casswell, who was the most musical guitar instructor, of the vid company "Lick Library"...
Sadly he has passed away, but i say "musical guitar instructor" because, while there are other more shredder/technical guys in that company, Michael explained the structure, and the supporting parts, that made up THE SONG!!!..not just licks...
Well done lad, carry on...👍🎸
Ah thank you so much! I am not familiar with the late Michael Casswell. I will try to remember to check out some stuff online. I am so glad that you dig my style and I hope you have fun learning from my other vids too.
Enjoying the hell out of this lesson! This is such a great track and yet I've always had the sense Zep shied away from it as being part of their catalog. I just think it's got such a feel good vibe and groove. So glad to get to play it, thanks Sped!
Stoked for you Mathew. Maybe if the song had come earlier in their career it’d have had the time to frown on them? I think it’s really clever and fun to play.
I like the section where you say."I've joined the band I can do what I want" that's the right attitude to have when learning music. It's nice to know the tune properly but music is about creativity and feeling. I really liked your take on the riff it sounds fun and fits well. First time watching your videos and I gotta say you are one worth our time watching. Thank you man.
Omg no way!! I’ve been waiting so long for another Spedly Led Zeppelin guitar lesson🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 Happy Birthday as well my brother! ❤️
Thanks so much Jake! I hope it doesn't disappoint. Thanks for the well wishes. 😏
Excellent lesson and great video as always Sped! I really appreciate the concise and accurate information you present regarding Zep tunes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Keep that dry English humor coming! 😁Cheers from across the pond!
My pleasure! Haha don't worry, it's here to stay. It's just me that's why! Glad you found the lesson useful too. It's a badass tune.
Fantastic. Great groove in this song. Per usual, brilliantly presented!
Thanks so much Whit. And yeah Bonzo is outrageous. JPJ bass in the Samba section had me tripping as well. What a player.
@@SpedSpedding couldn’t agree more!
I REALY enjoy when you and the other instruments parts to the guitar !! Thanks so much!!
This man is doing gods work demystifying all these now ancient wonders that no guitar tab online seems to do justice.
A good tutorial on a great Led Zeppelin classic. Thanks for providing.
Best In Show! A superior demo of one greatest tracks of the late 70s- thanks man
Love it!!! Always a pleasure Sped! 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks again!
Sped not only you are a cool dude but you know your guitar well and you make lessons fun .thanks bud cheers
Sped Zeppelin for a nightcap ? What's not to like. Excellent production value and another great lesson, its like a well crafted musical cocktail.
What would be calling that cocktail then? 🍹

Brilliant Sped ! Thanks for sharing your gifts
My pleasure!
Late one night on PBS Radio JAZZ I heard a tune with EXACTLY this riff on guitar with a horn section and piano that was played VERY early on by some legendary players...unfortunately the host would play around 4 to 6 tracks and then run down the names quickly as a matter of factly. It was always difficult to know who played what because only the names were given as a list.The tune was an instrumental with all the usual elements of jazz. This would have been while I was driving a route in 2013 or so.I was shocked at first, but then, Pagey is a gifted musical thief!
Very well done Sped.
Concise and exSpedicious as always‼️
Thank you kindly!😏🙌🏻
Love this song! Thanks Sped!
You're welcome!
This is great. I'd say probably 90% of all tabs, all covers, basically every thing you see of people playing this get it completely wrong
Oh really? I honestly don't check them. I just go with my ear and a gut feeling. But like I said in the video, if the notes are right and it's played somewhere else on the neck then we're still making progress! This felt and sounded right to me though.
Thank you so much for this, possibly my favorite LZ tune, all the elements that made them so special are on full display in this song.
You’re welcome Mark! So glad you liked the video.
Your channel and is so good. I don’t even play guitar but am fascinated by these lessons. Great job. 👍
Another great one mate
Thanks Stephen!
Fantastic lesson! One suggestion…during the samba section instead of the first mute hit the C on the 6th string 8th fret.
Also during the bouncy acoustic riff, instead of going to the B on the 3rd string, try this alternative: go an octave higher to the B on the 1st string 7th fret and descend using 6ths between the 1st and 3rd strings.
Another killer Zep tune and lesson! Phenomenal instruction, man. Thanks
Yes!! So glad you liked it.
Brilliant analysis! Love this tune! Cheers!
You're welcome! It is brilliant, glad you liked it.
Brilliant Job
Sped! I’ve been listening to this one every morning for the last month or so and it’s a great song to start your day with. Read my mind brotha!
Haha, yeah it’ll set you up for a positive day for sure. I’m out of your mind now so don’t worry. 🤣
Great lesson as usual. I love your presentation style and how easy it is to follow. Thank you.
You're very welcome Russell! 🤘🏻
Hi Sped! Reminds me of using water on the inner sleeve of the vinyl - it was like a kids magic painting book! Great effort chuck! Also it's lovely that's its not just my son's band that play guitar solos! (They're called Cry Diego).. Rock on!
Appreciate you man. This is a good one to learn too.
Glad to help! Yeah there's a lot of different techniques across the parts. Challenging!
My favorite Zeppelin album!
❤️🔥 amazing!
Thanks a bunch!!! Amazing lesson and great song🤘🤘
You’re welcome!
Love, love, love this video and you, sir ... thank you!
You are very welcome!
Great video Sped. Love the drum sound & groove on this song. Years ago I had two old pedals from mxr that I used with my bass. One was an envelope filter the other was called a blue box which actually gave me that exact octave sound that’s on that solo. Happy birthday mate. Best to you & Gab.
Thank you Joe! Yeah Bonzo is outstanding on this, when is he not though? Yeah that octave sound it sweet and fat. I tried to emulate it quickly for that riff after the solo. Just for the quick example. Hope you liked the video.
The Purdie shuffle!
@@SpedSpedding love your videos. Actually learning alot from your breakdowns about scales 5ths etc. Thanks again. Looking forward to hearing the new band.
Best Zep guitar channel. Love it!
You're the best!
Snap snap snap snap snap snappy Changesss turn and face the strange…
Thanks Sped! I’ve tuned into Sophie after watching a vid ya made. Love her stuff as well. 🤙🤙
EPIC lesson of a great latter day Zep tune -thank you and well done!
You're welcome John!
Great instruction. Drummer in my band can play the Bonham shuffle in that song like no one's business so we gonna jam this one out and see what we can make of it. I like that's it's all in triads, take me away from away just doing bar chords all the time.
One of my favorite Page guitar arrangements especially the acoustic arpeggios
OMG this is a great lesson, entertainment ... thx you!
Dude you’re awesome. Love your humour. Makes learning that much more enjoyable... “excuse me sir... how do you banumanuma?”
Thank you, Good Sir!
Very welcome!
Heavy Birthday, Sped! Cheers from France!
Merci! 🎉
A Expert of LED Zeppelin, incredible.
Why thank you!
Probably my favorite Led Zeppelin track. Thank you for highlighting it..
Oh wow! So cool. My pleasure. ☔️
great lesson as always thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it
This is a great song. I really enjoy your videos!
Thanks so much for watching!
Absolutely love this chanel and yes it is Samba time!!!!
Really enjoyed the lesson Sped thank you for sharing this one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@SpedSpedding maybe in the future can you work on I'm going to crawl love to get a lesson and I can not thank of a better person to be able to do it.
A really underrated song. Thanks for this brilliant lesson, Sped. With practice I have managed to incorporate the am inversion into the main riff. Cheers 🤟🏼
Wonderful! It's a bit of a swine to play isn't it. Worth it though!
The spedanator! Great lesson again! Thanks man
Pass me my laser eye.
@@SpedSpedding 😎
Hm, just landed on THIS and seeing you for the first time… I guess I’ll say what no one else has: WOWZERS
Fantastic lesson of a great song! I love the semi-Purdie Shuffle drum beat that Bonzo plays. I could listen to a loop of that for hours. 😂
Awesome vid! This really demonstrates how powerful triads are. Groups of 3 notes can be powerful, playful, whimsical whatever you choose them to be. Pick up the axe and get creating.
Can't wait to see what you and Bxrrell have in store!
Well said! And yeah we're getting closer and closer to release and also tying up other tracks in the background. It's all systems go and super exciting.
Fool in the Rain is a great song , Jimmy gets an amazing sound on the Solo .
A good one to learn , cheers .
Yes indeed. I love how they were inspired by the football in South America! "Enjoying the footeh lads?" "Yeah!" "Let's make a samba then!"
@@SpedSpedding Pure Genius , the drum track is like a living breathing life in it's own right . 🤩
I was wondering when you were gonna do this lesson. Shoutout to you!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Fantastic tutorial as always Sped. Great insights and pointers and humour along the way. Love the change coming out of Bamber Hahaha 😁🤣
Glad you had a fantastic birthday. 21 and a bit just like me but mines a bigger bit😁😁😁😁Soon be dancing on stage 😁😁😁😎
Cheers Chris. It gets the shoulders moving. You must have your dates wrong as I’m 20.
Thank you ... I needed that
Needed that drink at the bar too! 🤘🏻🤣
waiting for that release of your song cant wait to hear it
Yes!! SO are we, we can't wait to share it with the world. Thanks for the interest.
That sneaky Aminor chord really makes a difference. 🤗🤗🤗
Yes! It really does doesn't it? I like it, it's staying.
I know what you mean about channeling Page. I have so many bootleg albums,watched so many vids of Page throughout his career, seen him live through the 80s 90s I almost ooze him when I play 😮. Of course I not a hangnail compared to him 😂. Love to emulate him on electric
Thanks!
Hey thanks Ed! Always appreciate the extra support!
Getting ready to cover this. You have awesome explanations of these Zep songs and I think your Black Dog solo was the definitive reference for that, the right notes, bends, feel, and best positions. This lesson is equally useful. The talk of the "sneaky Am" threw me off though. I see that as an FMAJ7. I see the progression as straight up the chord scale... C-Dm7-Em7-FMAJ7-G. The FMAJ7 eliminates the need to throw a "sneaky Am" in there. It makes this elementary in every part (including the single note line choices). The main chord riff works on the 2-3-4 strings or on the 1-2-3 strings (which novice players might find easier because you can just lay your fingers across the 5th fret 1-2-3 for the FMAJ7). Btw, don't put me in the category of nitpicking commenter. I am just sharing my thoughts (as you asked). The second section was super helpful. The mod you made is a good one, especially for playing this without keys as I am about to do. The "Samba Section", I think is better played with an open C, and then F and G on the 1-2-3-4 strings (1st and 3rd frets respectively), and again allowing for the FMAJ7 to be played from (or before) that G by quickly barring the 1-2-3 strings on the 5th fret. Also, the fuller chords fill up the "Bamba Section" better and especially building back to the main riff. The single note licks you worked out are also awesome and helpful. Thanks again. Rock on.
This is a fantastic lesson and song. I gotta sit down after work and work on it.
Have fun with it Doug! ☔️
I'm a bit late to the party with this one but, hey, it's my band I can do what I want.
I really like the way you modify the guitar part to make it more fun to play on your own, the vast majority of us out here are lone players without JPJ in the wardrobe waiting to pop out and play piano whenever it suits us. You really worked all this out in only two days?! You're even cleverer than I thought.
This is such a good tune, happy and upbeat and possibly my favourite drum rhythm of all. Must try and work out a passable version to play on cajon.
Really enjoy your channel 😎
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks Sped, very enjoyable video and beautiful playing as always. I remember when this album came out and the music press absolutely savaging it, too far removed from the bands usual heavy guitar compositions. But with Zep you always have to expect the unexpected.
Hopefully the mystery of who the Led Zep whistle-blower was will one day be revealed :)
Everything always gets slammed in the press! Looking back they were clearly bold and inventive.
Good lesson, doin all the ones no one else will !
😏 pleasure!
Thank you
Tackling this one today, I'm a bit behind the times admittedly, but I am enjoying
Hi from montreal tanks for another good lesson very cool😊
My pleasure Denis! Thanks for watching.
The best thumbnail ever.
If you ever make it to NOLA grab a pint at Old Absinthe House which was, although not where it was actuallly shot ,but the inspiration for that album cover.
Just looked at my Google map stars from our trip to the States years ago. I was across the road but never made it in. Such a shame! Literally the other side of Bourbon Street! 😂
@@SpedSpedding All the reason to return.
thank you
I have been looking for a video like this for years cuz I'm too rubbish to learn this on my own. This is so sick! Thanks man!
Glad I could help! Have fun.
Still one of my favourite "underrated" Zep songs. I told my wife I'm going to quit my job to give me more time to get the Am change down. If a song is worth learning it's worth learning right! This song makes me wonder what kind of sounds Zep would have put out had ol what's his name not died. Anyways - thanks for the lesson my good sir. Also - did anyone else walk away humming La Bamba after this lesson...
just thnxs!!
You're welcome!
Spot on Brother!!!!
Much appreciated
"Since I've Been Lovin' You" is my choice for your next Tutorial. Thanks Sped!!! Lloyd Sarno
Hey mate,
Finally caught up to this one. I have to say that while wartching the beginning, once you should that cool,very, pic.. I had to stop and thumbs up and Subscribe! As for the reason I came to wartch😉....the glorious whistle..
Very interesting Sped, how the MLZ were able to keep certain things in a could of mystery...I had always thought it was Bonzo on that whistle, the way it coincides with the up beats of the drums...🤔 could still be a mystery, pretty adventurous for any rock band at the time and it definitely worked...
More Zep! Awesome, I love the “spicier” version
I knew you would. I chucked it in there just for you.
Hey Sped!
Fantastic song man 🤙
This will certainly keep me busy for quite a bit LOL! Thanks as always.
Especially that end riff right? So much fun stuff in here. 😏🙌🏻
@@SpedSpedding absolutely man. The song really comes to life too during the ‘samba’ part as well as you put it haha! This band really did so many different things in their time, it’s such a shame it all came to a screeching hault after that tragic accident sadly.
@@TommySG1 yeah and it comes out of no where. I definitely would have questioned that change at the time. “Are we sure lads?” “Yeah the Samba works.” “Ok then…” 😊
But it does work! 😅
@@SpedSpedding , Off topic here but this white Strat you play sounds really nice too. I don't know which axe Jimmy used during the recording of this tune however your randition here sounds off the hook my brother-man 👍
Especially the 'Banamanamanamanama' LOL!
Pretty sure the solo is played through an EHX MicroSynth, and Jimmy was kind of playing fast and hard against the envelope trigger so you’d hear that super resonant sweep on the sustained notes. Fun pedal!
Slick!
Thanks! 🥩
Great lesson! You made me laugh out loud with the drunk guy asking for chords bit 😂
😂 it's true though isn't it!
Another best in class Zep lesson Sped. Nobody does it better. And that is a scientific fact.
Yes mate! Thanks so much as always. Proper whopper this tune, with double cheese.
@@SpedSpedding and Bacon 🥓. Just sayin’
I’ve always wondered why the guitar was burried on a few songs on this album… love your videos!
That was hilarious about being asked do ya know any chords 🤮 u had me dyin 🤣🤣🤣 Thank u for teaching me this beautiful song ♥️✌🏼
😂😂😂 I forget all the stuff I say. But I reckon this one has something to do with charging £800 a minute to play all the chords.
sped i am sorry but i was just watching your cool lesson on fool in the rain and my eyes everted to your fire and it was in sink with your voice and the guitar please tell me your such a god on the guitar that even the flames obey your commands as always though your lessons are top notch
Haha. Well all I can say is, I stress out a lot behind the scenes, I'm not too dissimilar to Haydes.
ha ha nice one love the vids buddy @@SpedSpedding
That was cool. Become your own JIMMY. A nice thought.
Jammy Pige. That's what they call me.
Page is from another galaxy.
I've got 2 tickets to Page's Galaxy baby, come with me Friday don't say maybe.
Nice
Thanks
I picked up the bouncy little riff years ago. We played this song after my wife and I said our vows. I could never get the main riff or the ending until you made this I played it for her today and she was so happy. Thanks man!
Play it the same as me? The easier one or the harder one? Very cool either way.
@@SpedSpedding I picked up the easier way but I’m starting to play it the harder way that you showed. I think it feels and sounds nicer!
Cara sou fã de Led ....minha primeira música que aprendi foi Stairway to Heaven
Great lessons i have learnt a lot over the past year cheers keep up the good work. Can you tell me where i can find the book you keep getting info would like to buy it.
cheers
Ade
In the description! I always link it. And thanks, glad you’ve got so much out of them! 🙏🏻🥹
Another outstanding lesson, Sir Sped! Would love a bit more on the solo but I'll give it a go on own. Just one question... did you guys get your puppy? And if so what breed?
I wonder if the first three chords are not C Dm Em (raise the 5th a whole tone on the F and G triads) .... I played them along with the recording and sounded right to me but not sure. The Am triad is a nice subtlety I had not noticed. Thank you. Keep up the Zep...
