I bought this funky album in 1970 --I was 20 yrs old --it had a slide on the cover rotated all the symbols --it sounded difficult but pleasant back then----now here we are again !
My favorite album cover of all time! When I was over at Grandma's house, we hung out with my uncle and he would put his music on the record player - Clapton, Led Zep, The Beatles, etc. I would look through his album collection at the covers and couldn't help but find LZ3 with the spinner disc! So cool. Still so cool!! Gonna tune the guitar tonight and try this.
Another great lesson! C6 tuning??? Who else but Jimmy Page would do this!! Such amazing work on both electric AND acoustic guitars. So glad you're covering these deeper cuts👍
I wore out my 8 Track copy in my Acadian car, so I bought another copy and ending up burning out my 8 Track player. What a great album and tutorial 12 Ft ♪♫♪♫♪♫
I don't know how you do it you come up with these great lessons great classic music but I do know this is the right place to come learn them if you want to learn how they're supposed to be played ah thank you for the great job you do and I am subscribed and as soon as I get some dough I'll I'll order some merch thanks
Thanks from Aus. This reminded me, of just how fun this song is to play. And I picked up a few little tips from your vid, that you don’t get from tab. Really enjoying your channel 🙏🏼🙏🏼
This really makes you appreciate how much of a composer jimmy page was. All people ever talk about is hpw sloppy he was in the late 70s, but 69-73, the guy was probably the best in the business
Love it! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone give a lesson on ”Shining in the light” from Walking Into Clarksdale. Would love to see your take on it, and just what Jimmy is doing😄 You’ve been a massive influence for so many people, keep ’em coming!!
Mars, Bringer of War had a lot to do with Friends ~ also played as part of the bow solo during live versions of Dazed The Planets Suite for Orchestra, op. 32: I. Mars, the Bringer of War. composition by Gustav Holst also maybe, possibly, a tiny bit of Suite: Judy Blue Eyes for the jingley jangley dancing triplet thing. ...Debatable
It's frightening that content a creator with great teaching and technical skills is so novel on YT! 😂 You deserve a good million or two subscribers, sir.
Crazy good song off an underrated album! I've heard plenty of songs with a major melody and sad lyrics, but this is the only one I can think of with a minor melody and happy lyrics. Very unusual.
I never post or comment so this is really a first for me. I never took guitar lessons and am self taught until 8 months ago while recovering from back surgery I started lessons (i mean why not i was laid up for a bit) and have scoured your videos and am grateful to say you have helped me over a plateau so THANK YOU! Do you have a website ?
Think this song has always struck me as Ominous Sounding. Nearly ethereal. One of my favorite Jimmy Acoustic Songs! Yes,.. there are many favorites. Ha! Thanks for this one!! That's one old Yamaha too, right? Still have my Martin Sigma from the 70s too, mines 1971. The one with the inlayed "M" turned sideways at the top.
Can definitely hear Holst's "Mars" in this. King Crimson did a cover the year before, and of course Black Sabbath modified the riff to make it scarier.
I think I still prefer the A tuned to G as it's easier than going right up the neck for the verse section. You really need a cutaway for that. Also the riff is far more tricksy keeping the open A as you have to keep that finger locked onto the third fret as you play the riff on the top two strings.
We can tell you enjoy your work sir, it shows in the end product. On next years anniversary show, maybe please share a funny road story. Like the Friday night we played in DeKalb, IL & the board man's station wagon ran out of gas (1974)..his tank imploded & it was a gallon & 1/2 at a time, lol, all the way home. The real bitch was, we had to play upstate WI the next night...same scenario. Horrible then, hilarious now. Gigs were thru a new talent agency, so we HAD to show. I think we woulda' crawled there w/it on our backs. lol From Les's home town.
I like the studio chatter before this song. If you listen carefully it sounds like Jimmy Shhhhhhhh's everyone before he starts playing the song proper.
Fun fact: this was slated to be the soundtrack to that Bugs Bunny cartoon where the mad scientist breaks the bottle of ether and he and Bugs Bunny move through the castle in super slow mo; the only thing that stopped it was the fact that Jimmy Page was probably about 12 years old and hadn't started playing guitar yet... true story...
Friends, That's the Way, Gallows Pole, Tangerine...
Jimmy rocks on acoustic 🎸

This is a rather difficult song --well done --you nailed the complex strumming & chord progression !
"The greatest thing you ever can do now is share a smile with someone who's blue now."
Very easy.
Page is a brilliant dude. He must be one of the greatest minds ever in rock.
Thank you, dude! Great lesson, One of my favorite songs from my favorite Zep album
Another great lesson! C6 tuning??? Who else but Jimmy Page would do this!! Such amazing work on both electric AND acoustic guitars. So glad you're covering these deeper cuts👍
I been trying to learn that song in standard tuning since I was about 17. Thank you my FRIEND!!"
Best channel on RUclips to learn the coolest rock songs. Thanks for sharing your skill and knowledge and being my rock and roll guru.
Thank you!

I've seen the incorrect tuning explained many times. Well done. You are my go-to for the best songs. Many thanks.
Thanks! Yes, I do learn something new from every video I watch.
Thank you!
Perfect timing for me - just got myself a " Roadie 3 " and am re - discovering all these alternative tuning songs !!
AWESOME! I love this song, nothing sounds like this anymore and its super fun to play :)
I don't know how you do it you come up with these great lessons great classic music but I do know this is the right place to come learn them if you want to learn how they're supposed to be played ah thank you for the great job you do and I am subscribed and as soon as I get some dough I'll I'll order some merch thanks
Excellent tutorial. Sounded perfect.
Thank you kindly!
Hey bud, love your playing and easy-going approach to teaching...love it!
And if I may add, you give me the urge to play more!
that's what it's all about - glad to hear! Go tear it up
Love your work. Thanks ❤
One of My favorite tunes from LZ3! Thanks for this!!!
Good Job! The best transcription on this platform
Love you man. I learned friends from the songbook when I was a kid, but your lesson is a better way. Thank you

Man, this is an underrated track, truly
Well done lesson

Great lesson!! I learned a lot from you!!
Love your channel Doug. Really great lesson and your teaching style is excellent. Thank you!
My pleasure!
Another great lesson.. also enjoyed the tones from that Yamaha FG 👍🏽👍🏽
Zep III very underrated album.. always loved it!

Nice job! Since we can never have too much Zeppelin, For Your Life is a very under-explored song, might be worth a go.
yes!
That’s standard tuning in pretty sure
It's frightening that content a creator with great teaching and technical skills is so novel on YT! 😂
You deserve a good million or two subscribers, sir.
Thank you for saying! Would love nothing more, spread the word!
Crazy good song off an underrated album! I've heard plenty of songs with a major melody and sad lyrics, but this is the only one I can think of with a minor melody and happy lyrics. Very unusual.
Who's this rating authority everybody's always on about. .?
Yeahhhhhhh
Great lesson 😃
Fantastic! Thank you

New to your channel. Good work, excellent 👌

That one got you a new subscriber
welcome! tell your friends :-)
You can also play their song Poor Tom in this tuning
I think I still prefer the A tuned to G as it's easier than going right up the neck for the verse section. You really need a cutaway for that. Also the riff is far more tricksy keeping the open A as you have to keep that finger locked onto the third fret as you play the riff on the top two strings.

nice red label Yamaha !!
Have you done I'm going to leave you?
Just play it at the start and then do all the chit chat. People learning want to play along from the start
Both songs were written at the same time, just left off the 3rd LP
Fun fact: this was slated to be the soundtrack to that Bugs Bunny cartoon where the mad scientist breaks the bottle of ether and he and Bugs Bunny move through the castle in super slow mo; the only thing that stopped it was the fact that Jimmy Page was probably about 12 years old and hadn't started playing guitar yet... true story...
Ha! “Coomme heeeerreee bunnnyy rrraabbittt.”
Just need to find a singer like RP.
I tried tuning my E string down to a C and it just ended up being too slinky! lol
It would really help if you played the song that you are about to teach in its entirety in the beginning of the video……
Can't always do that, it often gets it demonetized.
Break out the bongo drums
You talk way too much. Spend more time actually playing the riffs. People would pickup on what you are doing... my .02
Id love to see some Scorpions like "big city nights" or "sails of charon" .
Great work lately. Keep it up🤘
That’s apples and oranges dude.
