Such a nice treat for a Friday night!! Thank-you, David!! Classic songs and Jimmy is such an influence. I particularly enjoyed the breakdown of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. Thanks again!!!!!!
Excellent lesson, I never stop learning from Page. I've played the Rain song a billion times but this time i had the electric behind you doing fills, and had a blast! Thanks- I play Ramble on with a slide upto the 11 on A string(with open E ringing) and grip the 9th(A shape)behind it for the first chord-then go to bar on 7th. Thanks
"Man, how can you not like this?" -- You said it! Even though they were a 4-piece band, I consider them a 3-piece band with a lead singer. Every single one of their albums is eminently brilliant from beginning to end. The chemistry and music of Led Zeppelin is unmatched. I wish I could have seen them live.
They were really good. Saw them in 77, and Page and Plant in mid-late 90's, too. Not in a really good venue, sound-wise, but 'The Song Remains The Same' is a damn good opener for a concert.
Man you were on a roll with the rain song and didn’t complete it - now I have that last piece ha ha but thanks anyway got me back in touch with what awesome song.
Also, I really appreciate your defense of Jimmy and Zeppelin. I think their detractors are mainly like musical populists (or something) who resent Page’s success, and his swaggering, take over the world attitude. I think if Page were born 10 years later he might’ve been an innovative, iconoclastic entrepreneur in another field. He has that kind of driven persona that I think can be polarizing. Another variety of this attitude is reflected in comments on RUclips like “JPJ is the real unsung hero of Zeppelin” to diminish Page. JPJ is an unsung hero and another master but without Page’s vision the guy would’ve been an arranger for Mickie Most forever. I just think Page deserves his universal due in the popular music pantheon. Nuff said!
I agree with everything you say about Led Zepplin, they're the greatest Rock band, ever! Listening to Led Zepplin helped me get through the first lockdown! Roberts voice, Jimmy's guitar playing with JPJ and John Bonham, just carries you away on a journey through the cosmos. Those Folk inspired songs, just perfect to help you escape.
I'm with you brother, Zeppelin opened my eyes in 69. Nobody had ever heard anything like it in my world at least. I can't really choose one favorite but Rain Song, Ten Years Gone and Ramble On would probably be top 3. Kashmir is really the only hit song of theirs I didn't dig
I thought STP stone temple pilots guitarist dean really used the same type of weird chords that jimmy page was doing in the 70's and brought it back in the 90's. Those chords that Dean was using in STP are not stock major/minor chords same as Jimmy page he doesn't use stock generic chords. STP 3rd album and 4th album chord lesson soon I hope
@@quantumbuddhist true but I do like sloopy blues like buddy guy is sloopy but STP chords are very weird just like Jimmy Page lots of chord database not many other guitarist have this. Jimmy Page is sloopy but has melody or licks in his solos compared to just straight vanilla blues.
I loved alot of the rock edge that Cream. Hendrix, Deep Purple & more had, BUT when LED ZEP 2 hit, Man it ran the table & cleared out the hall. It changed EVERYTHING. I was 17 .It was Huge.
Killer killer killer!! Thanks for shedding light on the bridge (where’s that confounded bridge?!) in the Wanton Song. I also have to play Rain Song all the way through. Great ringing chords. There’s a great Guitar World transcription from 30 years ago where I learned it.
You said it Dude! We had never heard anything like led zeppelin in '68 or 69. I was only 11 or 12 years old when the first album came out & hearing good times bad times It just blew us away, It sent a chill up & down my spine. I mean we had The Cream & Hendrix back in that time but Zeppelin inspired me to getting in to the drums Bonham was it. But yeah i feel what you're saying they inspired & really changed music, It was different & a harder type music, I think they started hard rock. Great great band it never gets old! I'm picking up the guitar & playing around with that now. Great job dude!
Great lesson. I didn't realize all the "dancing" triads on Dancing Days. I always played it in first position (with D/Dadd9), but when you play it, its much more harmonically rich. I agree that Zeppelin is the most influential rock band, but think the Beatles were the best songwriters in pop/rock history. Both belong at the highest tier.
I always really dig the content and how you break it down to the cord structures. I think we take for granted the difficulty of these tunes.. Because you make it look so easy... Your one helluva fine guitar player !!! Always note for note with matching tone. It doesn't get said enough. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us !!
It's funny for me it was Led Zeppelin first then I discovered Van Halen. Eddie became my favorite, but him and Jimmy are two of the greatest.. great video as always🔥🔥🙌🤟👌
Thank you! Pagey has been in my top 3 since Zep arrived when I was 14 in 1969. My older brother had a band in the SF Bay area in the 60s, so I have, because of him, been a musician all my life. Jimi, Jimmy (Pagey), Jeff . . . The Who (all the classic masters and truly greats)! Another really and truly great one is/was Tommy Bolin. Enough can never be said about Tommy! No matter what band he was in, he was a force of nature within it and left his indelible imprint upon it forever. Also, there's one greatly important song which must never be overlooked, and that is "Beck's Bolero" which was the original concept for Led Zeppelin; with Beck, Page, Moon, Hopkins, and JPJ. That song predicted the future of music. The production is (was in 1968) so ahead of its time! Really, the birthplace of heavy rock. I saw Zep 9 times. I've seen Jeff Beck even more. I began as a recording engineer in 1972. I am a composer/producer/guitarist, and I blame this all on Jimmy Page. And Eddie Kramer. Anyway, the pandemic lock-down has given me the time to research and revitalize. I built a home studio which my son uses for his EDM stuff (Mixing EDM with hard and heavy rock). And about to celebrate my 66th birthday, I figure it's time to complete my own musical oeuvre before its too late. Leave my many albums of original music to my grandson (FWIW). So, you, and many others are being my refresher coaches. Making me remember all that I know, but had become a bit disconnected from for the past few years. Most of these videos I watch, I say, "Oh yeah, that, already know it, next." But your videos are enjoyably entertaining. To see such a young person as yourself so involved and invested in the music, the soundtrack of my own lifetime. Fantastic! Keep on rocking!!! Again, thank you!!!
Great lesson! Love the “Rain Song”, but favorite Zep song for me “Fool in the Rain”…for the groove. Paige is an amazing songwriter, guitar player/hero, Producer. His chord play is so tasty, and informed by years as a studio session player. Thank you for the break down. I can never (rarely?) get the nuances by myself! Always simple, but tricky stuff, that lands on the eras as completely natural. Amazing
I read where Page said that some of the more busy. riffy licks were JPJ licks,like black dog (and possibly good times, bad times) and the more strummy chord-y riffs were all him. That said I'm quite sure Jimmy Page came up with most every classic lick we hear!
_The Rain Song_ is also my favorite Zeppelin song. I used to play it often on my 12 string acoustic witch went everywhere with me back then (note: I know Jimmy played it on 6 string guitars). I also usually play the first version I learned in standard tuning. It's a lot trickier, but not only convenient when you only have one guitar with you, it actually blends perfectly well with the alternate tuning.
Going to be super duper picky here. After the slide from 4th to 9th fret in Rain Song, don’t forget to drop 8th fret “A” string. Awesome lesson that brought out so much of Page’s nuance and creativeness.
Awesome!! Every time I watch your vids I have to break out all the old albums/cds and re-live my youth. All amazing songs. The Rain Song to me defined Zeppelin. So much emotion Keep up the awesome work dude!! 🤘🤘
Great lesson ... Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones wrote songs that will last forever and stand up today better than when they were originally released ... Jimmy Page was absolutely the best studio guitarist of the era from the mid sixties through 1979 ... not a great live player though as he seems to play the same ol’ boogie notes when playing live ...
It always blows my mind how Jimmy Page heard chord progressions and put seemingly random inversions together into highly memorable, groovy, and often moving songs. Never cliche and always surprising. We’re not even talking about the genius production tricks and methods that makes everything so distinctly Zeppelin (e.g., When the Levee Breaks). JP was flat out a genius in the Zep years and my musical hero!
THis is one of your BEST chordplays that you have ever done, Brewster; BRAVO, and, thanks! (I never got down Babe I'm gonna leave fully). VERY informative AND entertaining; LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aw man Page rules. Learning Since I've Been Lovin' You at the moment. I've spent a lifetime going down the Zep rabbit hole. So many great ideas. As awesome as the studio version of the Rain Song is he plays it live in another altered tuning. Completely mad scientist personality turned creative genius. Great lesson, Dave!
Stairway To Heaven was the very first song I learned to play on guitar with a pick, probably not the best choice for a beginner. But I can still play it decades later, although much better and fingerstyle. Jimmy always seemed somewhat sloppy to me as a player but he played with incredible feel and had an infinite bag of great memorable riffs. Thanks David ... and speaking of Great White .. nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
Great stuff, thanks for explaining everything! It’s funny that after 41 years of listening to their music I can still get to hear new things hidden away... 🤘😎🎸
AWESOME as usual. You could do a complete lesson on the Bass line of Ramble on as well as the others. It is definitely part of what makes them so great, 4 incredible musicians.
Ace does Good Times Bad Times on his latest covers LP and I thought he did a good job, he held the notes at the end of each phase of the vocals and the solos were great, but I don't think he performed them, I think the Gene Simmons band contributed the solos on the song, what do you think? I can't find any info on this online. I really enjoy your videos, keep up the awesome work!
In the early 80's I learned how to play "Rain Song" in standard tuning. I wish I knew about this tuning long ago, it's so much easier to play this way than standard tuning.
Great lesson David. I need to revisit The Rain Song. Back when I was 17, I had a tab book that had it transcribed in std tuning. That was a bitch to play and I had no idea that Jimmy was using a different tuning.
In case you aren't aware, There's a Great White album called "Great Zeppelin." It's a full live concert recording of Great White performing all Zeppelin. It is the absolute best f*cking thing, man. It's like...if Zeppelin had been able to record the concert they always wanted. Years ago I worked in a local music shop and I was playing it in the store. A customer in the store said, "what album is this? I have tons of bootleg Zeppelin, I don't have anything this good." I told him and showed him the CD case and I think he was actually bummed it was Great White. Not that it wasn't Zeppelin, but I got the impression he hated having to admit it was incredible! And hats off to Mark Kendall because he is an enormous Page fan and I've never heard ANYONE play those parts so genuinely. The whole band was stellar.
As far as my favorite band's go, Zeppelin is second only to Rush, and it's close. I'm an adult beginner guitarist playing a year and a half, so I'm still a beginner; but with enough musical miles on me from listening over a half century to appreciate your more advanced topics, David. I came across your channel a few months ago, introduced my friend who's been playing almost 5 decades to it, and heard him rave about your content. Thank you for it.
Thank you David, couldn't agree with you more ..... and I deeply appreciate you bringing it on home, no pun intended, for those of us who need your tutorials; opens the doors to a whole new world of euphany for our playing enjoyment! Thank you again, Wayne.
i'll be working on that rain song tuning , , thanks !
Great lesson! My favorite Zeppelin tune is anything from Led Zeppelin II
Love your instructional videos, I hope you never stop. You always have the songs down perfectly. Great 👍 great 👍
I was going to bring up his use of triads but you did, nice. Greatest band ever. They were the obvious progression from the Beatles.
Such a nice treat for a Friday night!! Thank-you, David!! Classic songs and Jimmy is such an influence. I particularly enjoyed the breakdown of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. Thanks again!!!!!!

Absolutely incredible! The MIGHTY Led Zeppelin! Thank you so much!🤘🤘🤘🤘
I want to be like you when I grow up, freaking awesome!
Rock On. You are an amazing teacher and better guitarist. 🥃
Wanton Song ! I really enjoy your videos. You have a very clear, concise way of explaining the material while making it interesting.
Brilliant lesson,thank you.
Wait I had to hit pause, people who don't like Zeppelin? Are these people non music people? I love all these chord videos. So well done
"Man, how can you not like this?" -- You said it! Even though they were a 4-piece band, I consider them a 3-piece band with a lead singer. Every single one of their albums is eminently brilliant from beginning to end. The chemistry and music of Led Zeppelin is unmatched. I wish I could have seen them live.

Not in a really good venue, sound-wise, but 'The Song Remains The Same' is a damn good opener for a concert.
77 for 5 songs then a riot in Tampa stadium. We were lucky to make it out..
I saw them live in 77 as well in LA. Amazing!
Great job on the rain song
Brilliant! Thanks so much.
Man you were on a roll with the rain song and didn’t complete it - now I have that last piece ha ha but thanks anyway got me back in touch with what awesome song.
Great lesson, could You do a video about the way You work out open tunings. Is it all by ear or through lesson books, online, ect?
Also, I really appreciate your defense of Jimmy and Zeppelin. I think their detractors are mainly like musical populists (or something) who resent Page’s success, and his swaggering, take over the world attitude. I think if Page were born 10 years later he might’ve been an innovative, iconoclastic entrepreneur in another field. He has that kind of driven persona that I think can be polarizing.

I just think Page deserves his universal due in the popular music pantheon. Nuff said!
I personally "Love Achilles last stand" and " The Rover " You could probably do a Led Zep Chord play part 3,4,5 and 6
Van Halen came up with amazing stuff but Page came up with the coolest.
So... I taught myself the Rain Song in standard tuning back in '85. This seems a little easier...
How in the heck did you figure out the varying chord voicings on Houses??
jJimmy Page is the reason i picked up the guitar favorite all time rock band
I agree with everything you say about Led Zepplin, they're the greatest Rock band, ever!
Listening to Led Zepplin helped me get through the first lockdown!
Roberts voice, Jimmy's guitar playing with JPJ and John Bonham, just carries you away on a journey through the cosmos.
Those Folk inspired songs, just perfect to help you escape.
Zeppelin is so good gotta have a third part. 😎
The dancing triads influence is very evident in Alex Lifeson’s earlier work. Thank you for keeping me excited about music I love.
I'm with you brother, Zeppelin opened my eyes in 69. Nobody had ever heard anything like it in my world at least. I can't really choose one favorite but Rain Song, Ten Years Gone and Ramble On would probably be top 3. Kashmir is really the only hit song of theirs I didn't dig
I always thought Page’s acoustic chord choices & melody were hauntingly beautiful. Love his acoustic playing! Great job 🍺’ski.
I thought STP stone temple pilots guitarist dean really used the same type of weird chords that jimmy page was doing in the 70's and brought it back in the 90's. Those chords that Dean was using in STP are not stock major/minor chords same as Jimmy page he doesn't use stock generic chords. STP 3rd album and 4th album chord lesson soon I hope

Dean Deleo said in interviews that Jimmy is one of his greatest influences and you can hear it in their songwriting (not so much the soloing)
Great lesson . Only one complaint , you didn’t play The Rain Song all the way through 🙂
What about ‘Out On The Tiles’. That’s a tricky one. Because Jimmy slides that riff you can see on the black crowes footage. Sick riff
Amazing as Per !! Please do the chords/licks of Gary Richrath (Reo Speedwagon) next please !!
Thank you Sir for asking Dave for this request, I think he was getting tired of me asking also!! LOL
I hope to see my guitar hero’s licks featured !
@@jamessator5564 I think he may have been tired of me asking as well LOL !!
I must have played the rain song for a year after finding the tuning. Felt like a wizard. Thanks for the Wanton chords, incredible composition
I loved alot of the rock edge that Cream. Hendrix, Deep Purple & more had, BUT when LED ZEP 2 hit, Man it ran the table & cleared out the hall. It changed EVERYTHING. I was 17 .It was Huge.
Killer killer killer!! Thanks for shedding light on the bridge (where’s that confounded bridge?!) in the Wanton Song. I also have to play Rain Song all the way through. Great ringing chords. There’s a great Guitar World transcription from 30 years ago where I learned it.
You said that people don’t have to agree with you, but in this case they do. Lol.
Rain Song is the perfect song to me
You and me both my friend.
100%!
Just the greatest response when someone dared suggest Led Zepplin couldn't write a ballad.
Who on earth would ever suggest that?🤔
Absolutely...Rain Song is the greatest song of all time.
I think that the *Rain song* is Led Zeppelin at their finest...
That Wanton lick is just brain candy. Rolling Punches. I love it!
You said it Dude! We had never heard anything like led zeppelin in '68 or 69. I was only 11 or 12 years old when the first album came out & hearing good times bad times It just blew us away, It sent a chill up & down my spine.

Absolutely its gonna sound popy bu Elton and Bernie Taupin but I realize there were more for keyboard player s
I always really dig the content and how you break it down to the cord structures.
I think we take for granted the difficulty of these tunes..
Because you make it look so easy...
Your one helluva fine guitar player !!! Always note for note with matching tone. It doesn't get said enough.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us !!

I love Tommy´s Work with James Gang. James Gang had made a lot of great albums. Got them all in vinyl. Hugs from Austria!

Thank you for the break down. I can never (rarely?) get the nuances by myself! Always simple, but tricky stuff, that lands on the eras as completely natural. Amazing
one more thing.... :-)....let us know when you're doing Led Zep Part THREE...!!
I read where Page said that some of the more busy. riffy licks were JPJ licks,like black dog (and possibly good times, bad times) and the more strummy chord-y riffs were all him. That said I'm quite sure Jimmy Page came up with most every classic lick we hear!
How do you decide that the tuning of Rain Song is Gsus4? Considering the notes, it could be Csus2 or a form of D7Sus4, ot am I completely wrong?
That Les Paul sounds wicked! 🤘
_The Rain Song_ is also my favorite Zeppelin song. I used to play it often on my 12 string acoustic witch went everywhere with me back then (note: I know Jimmy played it on 6 string guitars).
I also usually play the first version I learned in standard tuning. It's a lot trickier, but not only convenient when you only have one guitar with you, it actually blends perfectly well with the alternate tuning.
Excellent as always! What model acoustic guitar was that?
What model acoustic guitar are you playing here? I would like to check that out please and thank you.
Thanks for the great song tidbits.... zeppelin’s legacy is amazing.
Fantastic lesson. Thanks David. Favourite LZ song? Way too many to pick one!
Not sure if you've done one on Robin Trower?
Great lesson! I am a huge fan of zeppelin. You outlined their creativity nicely!
OMG...that Rain Song sounded so freakin good!!!!...rock on my brother!!
Going to be super duper picky here. After the slide from 4th to 9th fret in Rain Song, don’t forget to drop 8th fret “A” string. Awesome lesson that brought out so much of Page’s nuance and creativeness.
That's right if you liked Rock, you gotta liked Zeppelin
Speaking of Great White, they did a whole album of Zeppelin covers (Great Zeppelin) and it's really good.
Awesome!! Every time I watch your vids I have to break out all the old albums/cds and re-live my youth.
All amazing songs. The Rain Song to me defined Zeppelin. So much emotion
Keep up the awesome work dude!! 🤘🤘
Hi David, thanks for these insights. That's hours of fun for me. 🙏😁
Great lesson, and thanks for including the Rain Song, it is Led Zepplin at their absolute best.
Nice fat body acoustic! Also, is that Eddie sitting on your amp?
I’m looking for the bridge. Can anyone fiiind the briiiidge? Oh!
Where’s that confounded bridge?
Fantastic! I’m gonna work in the lick to Good Times ! Thank you Dave !
Houses of the holy and ten years gone are my favorite Zeppelin tunes. Great Job David enjoyed the lesson.
Fantastic! How ‘bout “Chords of Marcus King”?
Perfect Man Your one of the Best with a Great Attitude and for one of the Greatest of my time Keep-em coming man
Great lesson ... Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones wrote songs that will last forever and stand up today better than when they were originally released ... Jimmy Page was absolutely the best studio guitarist of the era from the mid sixties through 1979 ... not a great live player though as he seems to play the same ol’ boogie notes when playing live ...
Bread and Butter of Hard Rock History.
It always blows my mind how Jimmy Page heard chord progressions and put seemingly random inversions together into highly memorable, groovy, and often moving songs. Never cliche and always surprising. We’re not even talking about the genius production tricks and methods that makes everything so distinctly Zeppelin (e.g., When the Levee Breaks). JP was flat out a genius in the Zep years and my musical hero!
Great job! I don't trust anyone who doesn't like Led Zep!
Joe Walsh’s Les Paul came pre loaded with “life’s been good”
Jimmy Page have him that Les Paul
The famous, 59 model
I agree with you. They made ok to play loud rock music on the radio all over the world and the Song Remains the Same movie totally changed my life.
THis is one of your BEST chordplays that you have ever done, Brewster; BRAVO, and, thanks! (I never got down Babe I'm gonna leave fully). VERY informative AND entertaining; LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Wanton Song, one of his best chord structures ever. Thanks!
Great lesson. Zep is awesome. Jimmy is in my opinion, the best guitarist. Time to go play. Thanks Dave.
Houses of the Holy! Great intro. 👍
Curve balls and secret notes...
Oh so good!!!!
The Best Ever period! I've said it many times before, Zeppelin Rules!! You and I seem to be of the same mind about music in many ways..🎶✌
Great lesson! I could listen to the Rain Song all day long!
Aw man Page rules. Learning Since I've Been Lovin' You at the moment. I've spent a lifetime going down the Zep rabbit hole. So many great ideas. As awesome as the studio version of the Rain Song is he plays it live in another altered tuning. Completely mad scientist personality turned creative genius. Great lesson, Dave!

Would you please go on, with The Rain Song?! Seriously, beautiful.
Yu are a thorough , bases covered, guitar player, with a stellar ear...just wow, always amazing. Long time no see Dave~
Great stuff, thanks for explaining everything! It’s funny that after 41 years of listening to their music I can still get to hear new things hidden away... 🤘😎🎸
AWESOME as usual. You could do a complete lesson on the Bass line of Ramble on as well as the others. It is definitely part of what makes them so great, 4 incredible musicians.

Not to mention im thinking Jack Russell could nail Plants vocals
Is it the Behringer V Amp Rack Were Hearing your Guitar Tone From? The Device to your left?
Perfect timing. I’ve been listening to Led Zep nonstop the past few weeks.
As far as my favorite band's go, Zeppelin is second only to Rush, and it's close.
I'm an adult beginner guitarist playing a year and a half, so I'm still a beginner; but with enough musical miles on me from listening over a half century to appreciate your more advanced topics, David. I came across your channel a few months ago, introduced my friend who's been playing almost 5 decades to it, and heard him rave about your content. Thank you for it.
What year is your Standard
Nice smooth distortion with the Les Paul. What are u using? Please
So u are not gonna tell us.?
Absolutely fantastic.
Thank you David, couldn't agree with you more ..... and I deeply appreciate you bringing it on home, no pun intended, for those of us who need your tutorials; opens the doors to a whole new world of euphany for our playing enjoyment! Thank you again, Wayne.
