    This is blues from outer space I swear to god. The guitarist who wrote this is a genius and a gift to humankind.

      Yeah, the guitar work on Big Log is amazing and timeless. It's the kind of guitar work that "opens doors" and if you listen takes you places.
      Robbie Blunt is truly criminally underrated.

    Best Plant album. Robbie Blunt is one of the reasons I picked up guitar. My grandfather was a bluegrass musician, and I played this song for him on tape, shortly after this album was released. I remember seeing his eyes light up instantly from the first notes. His "reaction" was "that is some mighty fine picking there"..

    Thanks for doing this song. I’ve loved ‘The Principle of Moments’ and ‘Pictures at Eleven’ like no others since I first was introduced to them in the early 1980’s. Robbie Blunt’s playing is incredibly creative and complex, while not being flashy.

    I loved this song forever - never could imagined to play it. Thanks to you, I just startet and it sounds great - thank you so much! BTW the sound is being made with a Fender Princeton with a Boss CE-1 Chorus and a Strat set between bridge and middle position. And I really love the way your are commenting about the "beautiful" licks...

    Thank you for this. I play my acoustic 90% of the time and when I do pick up my electrics I usually have too much distortion and effects and just bang away. This helped me to get back to playing with a clean electric tone and slowing down and making every note count. Also make all the spaces between notes count. Thanks!

    Too cool, Andy. Seriously you make it look simple!! NOT! LOL.. I've been playing for over 50 years plus. YUP, I'm old. but as a fingerstyle player, I usually get it pretty quick. Of course, watching how effortless Mr. Blunt played all his compositions, I still get blown away by his just thinking of these progressions. You help bring them to life. So now, I am sitting here following your every move. Guess what? I get it... Surely need to practice the walk down progressions to the Am7. Love this lesson. I will be sending some $$$ ola soon. You deserve payment from every soul who watches this. Thank you!

    Plant's guitarist on his first few solo albums was amazing. It was really cool that Plant didn't just fill the spot with a Page~ish player, but went in a different direction. I have all his solo albums on Vinyl, including the Giant 45 (LP sized 45 with this song on it).

      That guitarist’s name is Robbie Blunt and his guitar work is a big reason why the Robert Plant solo albums ‘The Principle of Moments’ and ‘Pictures at Eleven’ are two of my favorite albums of all.

Anyway, I always hoped I could buy this album one day..did in the mid 90's on C.D.. Had it committed to memory from the few times I got to listen to it on the radio. Robert Plant albums always feature such awesome musicians and compositions!!!

    So....I am gonna be a big girl and admit that I've seen this video for a couple days and been a bit ashamed I did not recognize the name of the song...something hard to take when you consider all things music to be the center around which your known universe revolves. Once I heard it I instantly recognized it of course. I was a child when this came out, but I already had my bedroom walls plastered with posters of my guitar heroes and was beginning to explore being a pain in the ass kid and seeing just how far I could push this rebellion phase. Anyway...this song. Great tutorial as usual. Thoughtful and always fun to watch. I need to check out "In The Mood" from this album becasue I remember loving that and have not heard it in decades. What a long strange trip....

    Never cease to amaze me by coming so close to the recording's tones . Great lesson - AGAIN
    I've followed Plant's solo career since back in the day, always loved Robbie Blunt's and Doug Boyle's work on those first 5 albums. Shaken n Stirred was quite a bit "left field" and very Pop , but there's some good guitar moments on there - the drums are ridiculously good. Would be great if Plant went back to the Hard Rock / Guitar out front (if that makes sense???) approach again.

You are a fine teacher and such pleasant company of an evening when the family are away to bed and I can get my guitar out. Wishing you good health sir. Oh and I made a donation too yesterday. Everyone should if they are getting something from these tutorials. C'mon loyal subscribers! If Andy can't work just now he can't earn so I'm sure even the smallest of donations would be welcome
