Nancy Wilson--How she plays Battle Of Evermore on mandolin

- She doesn't play it exactly like Jimmy, but I like what she's done with it. I adopted a blend of the two when I learned it years ago..here's a link to video of myself playing it on mandolin, along with my brother and sister-in-law on guitars: • Battle of Evermore cov...
NOTE to anybody about to leave a comment that JPJ played the mandolin in Zeppelin: Jimmy Page played mandolin on this song (JPJ played acoustic guitar). He wrote the music for it after picking up and messing around on Jonesy's mandolin one day.

I would watch an hour long video of Nancy showing how she makes toast.
I would watch 10 hours of her teaching Heart and Zepplin.
She makes toast? I like toast.
she was and is my first female rockstar crush. She is absolutely stunning. so beautiful 😱😉😀
@@Just_Another_Hoosier Me too, toast is good

It's really something to get lessons from the great Nancy Wilson.
I seen Heart in Houston at the Summit somewhere around 1984. I was at the stage watching Nancy rip it up on a Guild Burnside electric guitar with Howard Leese. The Vocals between Ann, Nancy and the rest of the band were incredible. Magic Man was off the chain, Barracuda, Crazy On You, Tell it Like it is, and the Vocal on Dog and Butterfly, Still inspires me to this day. Wish I could have met them an have an acoustic jam. That would have been a Dream Come true.
Nice! She inspires me to this day too.
Howard Leese sucks. That band started tanking the day Roger was fired
Sorta like that, Beautiful Nancy, & eyes moistened to hear you play this & could hear Robert singing in the back ground of my mind. as a guitar player that did'nt make it from my younger days, i still love the sound of a string instrument, thank you.
As talented as she is absolutely enchanting.
Im still in love with her sense the 70 s 🥰♥️ & ive played drums for 50 yrs plus magic man was fav to play ! Oh the memories 👍🙋😊
Nancy Wilson is Fantastic 👍😊💥
Like the sound of IT during the Maggie may song
definitely Rock Legends
Nice! Would love to see you do the mandolin for 'Going to California', too... :-)
there are many videos of that on yt. Certainly helped me learn it for our Zep tribute project. Going from Bass to Mandolin in a real trick with the fret spacing.
That was fantastic!
I love her
Nancy you move me. 🤗😍🎸
What guitar player, beginner or pro, doesn't just love the shit out of Nancy Wilson? The answer is none! Because everybody loves Nancy.
thats a mandolin, not a guitar
She is an absolutely INCREDIBLE rythm guitar player.... She is so smooth and her timing is impecible.
I love how relaxing her voice sounds when she teaches us how to play the mandolin. Lovely voice, Nancy 😍
Damn sexy
Nancy is not only a great player, she’s an inspiring teacher. She and Ann cover Zep better than anyone.
She isn't a great player.
She was in a good band and she wrote some good riffs.
There is only one female guitarist who is great
Carol Kaye would be the best musician in any band that she played in.
ocumstweezers OK, I stand corrected. She’s not a “great” player like Carol Kaye, one of the greatest session musicians ever. Wrecking Crew legend. Guitar and bass. Nor does Nancy have the chops of, say, Jennifer Batten, who can shred with the best, including Jeff Beck. She’s still a very fine guitarist, singer and songwriter in a legendary band with many hits. And she strikes me as a lovely human being. I used an imprecise word. You win the debate. Feel better?
@@daf827 I feel good about being an honest person.
I love Nancy Wilson for who she is, not for who i wish she was.
She is a much better guitarist than I could ever be, but putting her on a pedestal like Peter Green, Duane Allman, Ry Cooder, Django and Jimi, and calling her 'great" is a bridge too far.
I don't throw the term 'Great" around blithely.
I don't know Jennifer Batton, but I know you can give a 'great musician' a kazoo, and they will kazoo the fvck out of a session, that is greatness.
We cool?
ocumstweezers Definitely not putting her on a pedestal. There are many better guitar players than Nancy Wilson, male and female. I just think she’s a fine musician and she seems like a lovely person. I reckon you interpreted my use of the word “great” as including her within the pantheon of fretboard legends like Hendrix, Beck, Page, etc. Arguing over who is a better guitarist is an exercise in futility. It was an off-the-cuff remark made in the spirit of the video. Nothing more. Do check out Jennifer Batten jamming with Beck on RUclips.
@@ocumstweezers "There is only one female guitarist who is great
"
Non misogynistic at all, am I right? It's just stunning how one can write a comment like that and think it is OK.
The Wilson sisters are a national treasure as well as living legends.
international .
@@sharksport01 For sure.
no question
Never heard of them
@@Anti_wokeness you are a beetoff
Nancy Wilson is not only talented, but just downright gentle-spirited and adorable.
What do you mean?
Tonetwisters dream teacher.
Very talented entertainer , a kindred spirit. I thank Nancy and Ann for all that they have given us.
“Sorta like that!”
Melts my heart every time! 😍
simp
She sounds like if Bob Ross was a musician
I heard some happy chords
Bob Ross looks as if Nancy Wilson was a painter.
I didn’t want this to end
What do you mean?
Night Wolf I dunno 🤷🏻♀️
She's one of the most underrated musicians of all time. The music just flows out of her. Timeless and classy... :)
Under rated by whom? The Wilson girls are friggin awesome!
@@stephenj8576 Yes they are! But when you hear discussions about the 'great guitar players', Nancy is often left out. She deserves far more credit than she gets... :)
yeah, her catalogue of hits and memorable songs and solos are hard to count..
lmfao
What has she written ? Gimme a fkng break. I like her, but come on.
Only thing she wrote is intro to Crazy On You.
The other guitarist in the band was WAY BETTER. Nancy was pretty
@DFS57 Somebody needs a hug...
As I clarified earlier, I said she was underrated because in almost all comparisons of 'great guitar players', she gets forgotten. Apparently, you didn't bother to read farther than the initial comment I made, or you'd have seen that your point about awards and cash lacks an understanding of context, and missed the point entirely.
p.s. I would not say Linda Ronstadt was underrated. She was a talented performer.
Under...
So tell us who is overrated?
Subjective terms !
Terms that have NO MEANING !
The market place has seemed her Well rated!
I just realized my mom copied everything about her style
Did my son make this comment? 😅
Then your mom is bad ass!
The Wilson Sisters left quite a legacy on the world of Rock and Roll.
Nice!
Were they thieving more than LZ? Is that even possible?
Fortunate to see them 3 times.
NEVER A DISAPPOINTMENT!
Nancy's guitar playing and Ann's voice. AWESOME!
@@DrunkardCow Every rock band 'thieves' from the blues,Zep did some incredible music and in their turn have influenced many.
Besides being pretty and talented, she seems like a nice person too
Yes she does seem like a nice person.
When she and Cameron Crowe divorced she asked for alimony....there's your "women's lib" for you. She was already a millionaire in one of the biggest bands of all time and still needed his money because he had more apparently. Look it up.
@@bloozedaddy Thanks to women's lib men can receive things like alimony and social security survivor benefits. So it's really mens lib too.
@@bloozedaddy Nothing Unique about it though .....
Beautiful, talented... and a hardcore Liberal.
THAT is the turn off.
"The Queen of Light took her bow and then she turned to go..."
jamzst 😂 brilliant
She bears a striking resemblance to galadriel
And her name was Nancy Wilson?
"I'm waiting for the Angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow"...
@@philgray1023 Joni Mitchell
She is bad ass been watching a few of these vids so calming and nice. Like watching Bob Ross paint. Showing the love from Mississippi
You cannot play a bad note on the mandolin, ... Only happy accidents
What do you mean?
Night Wolf what do YOU mean by asking everyone what they mean?
@@supergmx1046 Only happy accidents I like that
the Bob Ross Analogy is pure gold!!!! and same here.. I just stumbled on these a few days ago and now Im subscribed and cant get enough....respect from Canada
Just "messing around", but flawless. Nancy is a gem.
Nancy’s really a student of Jimmy Page. Heart’s rendition of Stairway at Kennedy Center Honors was chill-inducing. It made Robert Plant cry!
I've seen more than one interview where she says she likes to 'channel Jimmy Page on stage'.
Channel away, Nancy, channel away!😄
@Benjamin S I've not seen anything where he says that, only an article called 'The real reason Robert Plant cried etc' where the author never even cited anything Robert ever said, just went into a lot of speculation. If you can post a link to anything of him directly stating that it was Jason, I'd like to see it. I found this article where he DOES talk about it, and it seems it was not Heart or Jason specifically that moved him, just kind of a wave of emotion about loss (meaning mostly John I guess) and how the song had taken flight and become what it remains today: ledzepnews.com/2018/06/23/robert-plant-on-stairway-to-heaven-its-like-a-relative-of-mine-somewhere/
@Benjamin S You know, I've seen that clip floating about and meant to watch it but just never did. Thank you so much for steering me in that direction, that was really good. So it was the loss of John that was bothering him the most there, it seems. Brought home by the fact his son showed up to play drums, right after he had said to Jimmy 'We should have invited Jason '. It was a magical night and nobody could have provided such a perfect soundtrack as Ann and Nancy did, for sure!
I even had tears in my eyes listening to that rendition, it was so magical and aw inspiring!
Robert actually doesn't even care for the song. Its pretty good, but Zeppelin has many that are much better. Like this one. Great band! Same with Heart...old Heart with Roger anyway.
Roger Fisher is sadly overlooked when talking about classic rock players.
there is something about her voice, so calming...
I have no idea what she is talking about but could listen to
her all day.
😄👍
Yeah, you and me both. She has a wonderful soothing voice. Nancy reading a telephone book would be wonderful.
Music is not that complicated.
John Doe
To some, it’s not.
My aunt is tone deaf & still tries to sing, God bless her.
I have perfect pitch.
Now what?
@@JohnDoe-pq8yw Nothing's complicated to anyone who has already learned it.
I have loved this song, Battle of evermore, since is was first released.
I bought a mandolin at least in part, so I could play this song.
This is the first time I have seen it done right, and I could not be more grateful.
Thank so much for posting.
Yes indeed. I have a mandolin, I know a few chords and I'll be working on this. As a guitar teacher myself, I say many thanks to Nancy for making this easy to learn. And all these years of great music. My band does the heart version of " tell it like it is"
This lady here is one of the classiest acts in the rock and roll business. Phenomenal musician.
Classy is exactly what she is. We see so little, anymore. Beauty and brains that go on forever!
Heart's rendition of "Stairway" at Zeppelin's award induction was magnificent
Reading the Page biography Jimmy simply picked up a mandolin and went up and down the scales and thought it might make a decent new tune. Simplicity is...what?
He has that habit of misdirection many clever players do 😉
John Paul Jones played the mandolin on all of Zeppelin's original tunes...
Jimmy could pick it up and play it. Nancy could listen to it, play it and then write down the music. VERY few could or still can do what she can. I don’t know if anyone has Jimmy’s skills.
@@eddonahue2756 It was reported that at one time in the UK, 10 of the top 20 singles featured Jimmy Page as session guitarist.
@@Kreln1221 There's an underrated musician.
Most beautiful woman in everyway
Totally agree
What do you mean?
What do you mean? What do I mean I agreed with the comment from Brad
@@SandraRegina-sm1wg You are pretty clueless all in all.
@@SandraRegina-sm1wg What do you think that means?
Nancy Wilson is one of God's crowning achievements! 💅
Nancy could probably play a broomstick and make it sound good!
Ok now I want a mandolin
People like Heart because subconsciously... people like talent.
She just taught me more about music in these 4 minutes than I learned in all my high-school music classes combined.
"It's kind of like...that uh...violin sounding thing" :D
Closed my eyes when she started playing Battle of Evermore. Instant goosebumps all over. So awesome. Thank you Nancy.
Ur welcome, my son
Love you ... don't like your politics... but still love you
Me too
Same
The first time I saw Heart they opened for Loggings & Messina. I had never heard of them & they blew my mind so much I didn't even care about L&M. Ann's vocals were incredible and was IN LOVE with Nancy! Omg... a beautiful girl playing the hell out of her guitar! I was never the same after that night. ☺
It was in Jackson Mississippi, lol. I still love you Nancy!
She loves Led Zeppelin. What a fantastic dedication to them with Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy center she did. She is Gold.
A terrific player, a great band, and now teaching the masses.
Thank you Nancy!
Nancy Wilson was the first female hard rock guitarist I ever heard. She broke the mold. Sister Ann, is an incredible singer.
I could hardly believe in the 70’s when Heart just rocked the world. They both had a style all their own, but Nancy was the quiet one. A phenomenal guitarist who played what she felt and didn’t write it down on paper. You can’t write your soul down on paper, so it’s fun to watch her almost try here. She’s such a sweetheart.
I just inherited an Alvarez mandolin from an uncle that looks exactly like that one... also I've had a crush on Nancy Wilson since 1982 or so.
Your uncle looks like that mandolin?
@@Fissi0nChips Yes. He hated that his nickname was Mandy.
@@dinkalicious LMAO!!!
John Smith I was 7 in 1977 too but my attention was occupied by Lynda Carter in Wonder Woman at that time; music came a little later...
@@dinkalicious Ever see Linda Carter's guest appearance on _The Muppet Show?_ She was clearly having more fun than it should be legal for a human to have. You could almost hear her giggling in glee and whispering "I'm on the Muppet Show! I'm on the Muppet Show!" An adorable human being.
Nancy is certainly a lovely person and talented musician. Let's not forget the also quite comely Sandy Denny whose Gaelic vocal chops can be heard on the Led Zeppelin original.
And is the only Zep track with an out of the band vocalist. Let me pitch it for a moment : Sandy Denny is the greatest female vocalist that you've never heard of. Find a copy of Gold Dust : Live At the Royalty. No vocal overdubs. All Sandy.
Sad that she's passed. R.I.P.
So true!!!
Saw her perform with led zepagain tribute band a few months ago
oh yes!
@@jameshafner1442 Check out the album 'Alex Campbell and Friends', one of whom was a young Sandy Denny (before she joined Fairport). I've been a fan since around 1981 (sadly she died in 1978).
And she's used that same mandolin since 1974 🙂
“Sorta like that..” - takes you back if you of a certain age. To lost pals.
aww
londoner752 That’s right? Do people say that anymore?
londoner752 beautiful put to lost times ,pads and pals ..✨✨🍰☕️🇬🇧☕️🍰✨✨
A video on instrument playing that actually highlights the part every musician need to know; the fingering!? How many times have we seen vids that show the right hand, the face, something else rather than the one fucking thing they want, the left hand. Thanks for doing it properly.
Nancy Wilson is like the Bob Ross of teaching how to play guitar.
That's so funny ..others have commented the same. 😄
What a beautiful soothing sounding voice.
Im smiling while she is playing this, and i hear Robert plant in my mind. His voice echoing.
Just when I thought I couldn't be crushing any harder on the Great Nancy Wilson...
knows it by heart.
I see whacha did there
👏👏
The dad jokes are strong with this one...
My guitar teacher used to totally pee me off. He would listen to a tune once and could play it note for note at full speed immediately. Occasionally fell off the horse, but years as a session player helps.
🌽 yet satisfying.
@@philgray1023 That's not so hard after a while
When she launches into the song, I get all verklempt.
U wot m8
He's gotten verklempt, bruh. 🇩🇪
I've got a cheap mandolin! Gonna mess around with this.
I wouldn’t even have considered clicking on this one, if I had not watched a tape with the performance Ann and Nancy did of this song during the Concert for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Also, I half expected Nancy to sing the lead vocal while she was demonstrating her part.
Nancy has a nice voice. Hers really is the duet companion. Ann's is the lead. And what a lead.
Beautifully done on the " Evermore", slipping those bar chords up & done with clean tone all the way. " I wish"
Nancy's Mandolin on the Little Queen album is exquisite! Used to listen to it for hours, over and over.
That is exquisite indeed! A lot of it was Roger Fisher too, he is also a hugely talented mandolin and acoustic guitar player, in addition to his obvious talents on electric.
Too bad they could not continue making music together any further than they did. That mostly dreadful.Heart 80s stuff would never have happened 😄
YEESSSS Dream of the Archer!!!
I've seen several versions on RUclips. Some were pretty good.. Then you hear a professional.. The clarity of notes.. The smoothness.. The nuances.. Well.. That's why she's a professional. : )
Thanks nancy I really enjoyed the battle with your sister knocked it out .
Very informative and fun video but, I have to say, I would watch her reading a telephone book.
She is such a beautiful woman
What do you mean?
@@SandraRegina-sm1wg IDK how he could have been anymore clear..
Yes, after all these years, she’s just as attractive as ever.
I think knight wolf is just letting us all know which Justin Bieber song is his favorite. 😝
@Yu Suk Mi Hof Keeping it classy.
Thank you Nancy for acknowledging the Scottish connection. This is a fkn arsehole of an instrument to learn so Nancy's advice on just "having fun" with one if you manage to aquire one is sage advice. I also had a huge crush on her when I was a kid.
Nancy Wilson : beautiful, talented woman that makes the world better with her presence .
Before even hearing the Wilson sisters, the entire African American portion of the audience of an awards show I regularly attended (except Quincy Jones' table) got up and walked out leaving 1/3 of the place empty. After they had received the lifetime award from ASCAP in 2009(?) and the entire awards show had moved to a separate room with tables and a stage, Wyclef Jean was scheduled to perform then The Wilson Sisters. Unfortunately the African-American portion of the audience never heard one of the greatest the most soulful singers of the last few generations and her uber talented sister on guitar. Yet we had to sit through a performance of Wyclef Jean who is not a singer not an instrumentalist and not much of a performer. Thank goodness the heart girls never disappoint. That night, I gained a New perspective on African-American artists/songwriters/performers/people. That was a totally classless move and they had no idea what they were about to miss. Quincy Jones and his entire entourage did though and they stayed and cheered these legends on to the last song!!
I have a huge crush on Nancy Wilson now
She’s so damn talented. One of the greats.
Nobody does LED Zeppelin better than the Wilson Sisters and Heart!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Plays chords with Nancy
Nancy starts playing Nevermore
*puts mandolin back into closet...takes out spoons and plays along*
Rock royalty🙏
All I know is her music sounds beautiful and soulful to me and the energy between her and her sister when they performed together was magical... her riffs are memorable ...
sure that is okay for someone who is a genius...thank you Nancy
This proves that it (music in general) doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated to be good/enjoyable.
Thought I would tell you Nancy my brother wants to marry you.
Oh man, when she started in on Battle, did I get a frisson!
Nancy is a fantastic singer as well as a wonderful guitarist.
I'm entranced. Pinch me. No, wait, don't. I like it here.
Nancy is obscenely underrated. Incredible artistic abilty! ❤❤
U r a gift to us all...thank u once again for brightening my day sharing ur incredible talent...Nancy Wilson and the mandolin r an unbeatable combination..
Incredible....and just explains the complexity that Jimmy Page composed and played with. She's every bit more amazing as a student of music in general. Understanding the history, of an instrument is the preamble to learning it. So impressive
I keep finding my way to her videos. Supremely talented and the best demeanor.
Best female guitarist in Rock...She's an amazing player... A true master.
She’s wonderful! Lovely and talented. A nice combination!
As a Cellist, the Mandolin stuns me. The superb picking and double strings, what talent to play this awesome instrument. Great video, thank you !
It isn't all that hard really.
Nancy Wilson is a very awesome musician and such a beautiful and sweet person with an awesomely beautiful heart!❤️ She also participates in some very worthwhile causes to better humanity.
The mandolin has long been one of my favorite instruments. Sylvan Song / Dream of the Archer had much to do with it. Still feel its the best thing Heart has ever written.
She's very sweet and lovely. Love that she teaches music!
Nancy is very "English" that's all and I love ... I was a guitarist before and this video made me want to buy a mandolin ..... A big thank you to Nancy Wison for this video without which I would not have found the "keys" of how to play this title ...... cool!
She has a quality to her music that few musicians will ever achieve. Also notice her enthusiasm
I love the mandolin. Nancy is a master of it. Much nicer than the banjo.
....more than a few know how great she is, I can also learn from her, very clear and on point....thanks Nancy...
Nancy’s an awesome musician. 👍👍👍
Wow, such a sweet and amazing performance by one of the most talented and technical female guitarists and artists of all time! Love Heart and Led Zeppelin! Two of my all time most favourite bands! Thank you very much for sharing this great video! All the best and much respect from a great rock fan from Romania! Rock on!
that mandolin pales in comparison to her voice.
Saw Nancy Wilson. Opened for ZZ Top Calgary Alberta 1975.
Blew me away.
I saw that same show. Heart was Vancouver based back then.
Ann and Nancy performed an awesome version of Stairway To Heaven when the Kennedy Center honored Led Zeppelin...it brought Robert Plant to tears. Jason Bonham was on drums.
I bought a mandolin about 5 years ago for the specific purpose of playing Battle of Evermore. Beautiful song.
