- That's the Way
Led Zeppelin cover
Performed by Vesper
Recorded live on 5/7/21
Guitar: Martin GPCPA3 in open G tuning
Microphone: Ear Trumpet Labs "Myrtle"
Saramonic SmartRig II
Recorded on Samsung Galaxy S10+
This is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. I absolutely love Zeppelin's acoustic songs and Jimmy Page's playing on their acoustic material was a huge influence on me as a guitarist.
This song is a bit tricky to play and sing at the same time, which surprised me because it's a relatively simple song in its structure. The challenge is the timing of that repetitive chord progression which is frequently off-sync with the vocal melody and doing the two together is rather like patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. It took some practicing and was exciting when I finally got it down. The other challenge was keeping that chord progression steady and chugging along while singing emotionally.
Love this song so much XXX

You've got serious warmth with what you offer, always. This one seems to show just enough of you vocally turning on the burners to know a fire lies underneath.
Hi Jay - I ❤ this comment - thank you!
3rd album is under rated. "That's the Way" is one of my favorites from that album. Thank you!
Thats right, beautiful song! 👏
And the subtle celestial counterpoint of Mr. Jimmy Page's electric guitar work really complement the overall sound, and the small amount of bass, added at the end by John Paul Jones, adds the volumetricity of ocean depth to Page's celestial counterpoint 🌒🪐💫
Doesn’t get any better. Zep III is a gift.
I agree. What a great album and I think this song is my favorite!
Not sure I know this one. Fantastic. I very much enjoyed listening and watching you play this.
Thanks, Darren! It's from Led Zeppelin III. Definitely check out the original. It's amazing and has slide guitar throughout it (in addition to what I am playing here).
Love this song. Always found it hard to sing and play at the same time with the strumming pattern. Great job :)
Yes! Very difficult. I had to practice quite a bit to get to the point of muscle memory.
Brilliant!😋 Really enjoyed it. Many thanks 👍👍👍♥️
Thank you! That is so kind!

Very nice!!
Thanks! 🙂
Really nice, mellow version -- and that background is beautiful. I was looking at Howard Hart's video and came here. Well done!
Thank you, Richard! That's my back patio and I was so pleased the birds joined in with the singing 🙂
An awesome job on an awesome song. If you cant tell, Zeppelin is my favorite band, this is off of III, this whole album is good!
Thanks, Glen! I love Zep III too. Awesome album!
Very nice rendition of a personal favorite. Your location reminds me of the Russian River in Sonoma County, California - bucolic and peaceful.
Aw thank you so much! What a nice comment 🙂
Stunning, you have a sweet voice, the guitar sounds like you, & the song
Thanks so much, Antonio. I appreciate your kind comment and glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Awesome! Loved it❤
Thank you, Rick! 😊

Thank you!
Wonderful !!! New subscriber here !!! :)
Thanks and welcome!🙂
2 years too late but beautiful voice
Thank you, Jeffrey! 🙂
What I meant to say is that is 2 years ago you recorded this and I just caught it now and I didn't actually think that you would even say hello but thanks for you're hello
@@jeffreyness9741better Nate than lever
A very hard one to play and sing at the same time!! Great job❤️
Thank you, Brian! Yes, it was certainly a challenge but I was determined, LOL. Glad you enjoyed it :)
I'd like to second this sentiment - the timing is just such that it takes more than a bit of work to get this down nicely.
You are right and very observant!
Led Zeppelin has so many great acoustic songs! This one is in my top 5 for sure, so soothing and relaxing.
Thanks, aerofan. It's definitely one of my faves too 🙂
That's one of my Zeppelin favourites as well. Sounds great brilliant job.
Many thanks!
Underrated is a common word, this lady here knocked it out of the park.
You are too kind...thank you!
Greatest band ever and my favorite band since 1969
Led Zeppelin ❤ Thanks for keeping their music alive 😊
Perfect tone of your wonderful guitar and very enjoyable rendition of that beautiful song.
Thank you, Ayn! I am glad you enjoyed it! 😊
@@Vesper_Songs Did indeed, and shout-out to the view and Zeppelin II shirt :)
🙂
By far my favorite led zeppelin album. Being an acoustic player makes sense. Tangerine another great song.
Really enjoyed listening to this, one of my favorite Zeppelin songs...
Thank you, Robert! Glad you liked it. It's a favorite of mine too 🙂
My favorite Zep song ✌🏼
Beautiful cover Vesper! The combination of your guitar and voice is so soothing 💕💕
Thanks so much, Kushpreet! :)
One of my favorite Zeppelin songs.. great job.. 👍🏼
Thank you! It's one of my favorites too 🙂
Also you picked a really difficult and whoop ass song
Another one with the correct tempo. No one gets this right, but y ou did.
My Lawd Guuuuuuurl WHO ARE YOU!!!!???? THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLELY!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Aw, thank you! So happy it makes you happy! Such a great song ❤
The birds in the background singing along with this impeccable performance, bravo!
Thank you! One of my favorites and I think the birds' favorite too 😊
Job well done..The guitar was totally in tune and a lovely voice to go with it..Thank you soo much for keeping Zeppelin alive..👏👏🫶
Just to point out, at the end of the song when you were done playing, it was really nice to hear the sounds of the birds chirping in the background.
Thank you 🙂
You play and sing so beautifully! I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel, and glad I'm now a subscriber! 🥰🥰
Thank you and so glad you found me! Thank you for subscribing! 🙂
@@Vesper_Songs You're very welcome, and keep up the good work! 👍👍
ahhh yes !!
,'THAT'S THE WAY'
CLASSIC ZEPPELIN!!
And such a great way and doing this Song justice 👍👍 BEAUTIFUL DONE AND THANKS
Thank you, Ed! 🙂
I think you and I should get married now 🙂💖🎤🎸
😆
Very impressive. Some of those chords are tricky alone, never mind singing over them. Also props for keeping the vocal melody aligned with the Zep III version. When played live Plant always went "DOWWWWNNNNnnnnn" which always broke the mood for me. That's also one heck of a guitar you're playing there.
Thank you so much for your comment. Yes, this one is very tricky to sing and play at the same time. That was the toughest part of learning it. Took a lot of repetition to get to the point of muscle memory. I'm with you on the importance of keeping the integrity of the melody!!
When Jimmy puts on different tunings it means having to learn some new patterns and you did it very well. I loved it. Especially the outro with the runs up the fretboard and the fancy chords. Now that is not easy.
Thank you! The hardest part of playing this song was playing and singing at the same time. Kinda like patting your head and rubbing your belly. Had to practice a LOT!
Is that a cedar top? Could you break down the chords for us?
Hi Kenneth, I am not sure about the wood. It's a GPCPA3 if you want to look it up. I love this guitar! As for the chords...I can't recall, however, here is the video I watched to learn the song. ruclips.net/video/mduu2s-iKXU/видео.htmlsi=Oc2bfUkBssFR52RM. Have fun!
Pretty cool
good version of tis song...........................................
Thank you, Kim 🙂
Very nicely done. like how the birds added flavor perfectly.
Thank you, Eric! I appreciate your kind comment 🙂
Beautiful rendition. Thank you😊
Thanks so much, Frederick! 🙂
Oh WOW!!! What a nice version Vesper!! I love this good old tune and you really got it my friend. Wonderful version. Greetings, jimmy
Thanks, Jimmy! Love this song so much 💕
good version of this song................................
Thanks!
Great content you made, Thanks for sharing. Hope to see you around
Thanks very much! :)
Very good performing👍
Even the birds shouted "bravo" 😊
Thank you 🌷
Thank you! Yes birds were my backup singers!
A friend died at 16. The next year, this came out. There was never anybody like this dude. His girlfriend is a painting. Thank you for your everything.
I'm so sorry you lost your friend. I know what that's like and it's the absolute worst.
Great version of a hidden Zeppelin masterpiece.
Thank you!
Indeed….
Vesper-You are so inspirational! I’ve been working on “Thar’s The Way” for a bit now.
And yes… to get my cadence on point (strumming w/lyrics) and on beat - it’s a MUST to review your vocals and ‘how’ you sync effortlessly with this Led Zeppelin classic!
BTW…Zeppelin III is my Fav(Physical Graffiti is a close second)!
I still remember the day my friend (from my hometown), layed the stylus down (as my ears and emotions were moved by Zeppelin III) on that vinyl as a teenager…
My life shifted that moment - For all things musically GOOD!
Thank you for being a sound and inspiration for your tribe!!! 👏👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿
Thank you for your comment! Good luck getting this song. For me it was easy to play and easy to sing, but doing them together? That took some practice!
You go girl! Nice version. Jimmy Page, I think, would be proud. [edit] As well as Bobby Plant.
Thank you! 🙂
Well done....This is my favorite song from III.
Thanks...mine too!
SHWING!

So good!!! One of the most haunting Zep songs. Is that the way it ought to stay? Loved this. I think you got the birds singing in the background.
Thank you so much! Yes the birds were joining me on this one - I think they love this song as much as I do! ❤🦜
@@Vesper_Songs I can see why!
Yeah, nice a very personel cover. Led zep forever.
Thank you, Tomas 🙂
Love it
I always loved this song and I love when people know it too and cover it. well done - It is tricky playing the guitar and singing. I wish I had been making the tea for them in that old Welsh cottage in 1969... ou got the lovely ending too. Great. ndge
Thank you so much for your kind comment. This song is one of my favorites of all time...I love it so much. It's so gratifying to hear I did it justice. 🙂
PS YES very hard to play and sing at the same time. Took quite a lot of rehearsing to get the point of muscle memory.
I think you really got it - the whole mood of the song and the feeling. Well done.@@Vesper_Songs
That s the way! Nice and awesome!
Thanks so much 🙂
That hit the spot Vesper, lovely.
