In the 1970s, I was just a kid hold up in my room spinning these records from start to finish in awe of what I was hearing. Even as an awkward adolescent I knew it was great music. In my my mind's eye I'd try imagine what the guitar player must have been doing to get those sounds. Today, sitting in front of this 21st century technology, I get to see - up close - just how much work went into the composition. Thanks so much for posting this. The precision is a sight to behold. What a gift!
Discovered Page and Zeppelin in 1975 as a 14 year old boy when Physical Grafitti came out. Then came Presence. Then I started buying all of Zeps earlier stuff. My life changed forever after learning and listening to Page's masterpieces.
Please don’t ever forget 10 years gone....please please don’t forget this one cause so many have and I think it’s a mortal sin and people may need to go to their local church for a confession
@@tw_bomb5517 I feel like I enjoy Led 3, 4 and Houses of the Holy better. But its really hard to rank them, because they're all TOP NOTCH albums and each has a good number of bangers, including their first, which is pretty impressive if you ask me. Consistently great albums. 👍
Watching you play “Achilles Last Stand” note for note clearly demonstrates why Jimmy was the man and till today so many guitarist look at him as one of the greatest of all time. Thanks to you and thanks to Jimmy.
@@gsxrkz The famous engineer Eddie Kramer worked on some of Zeppelin's albums as well as Jimi Hendrix.........and Eddie once said in an interview, quote: "Jimmy Page was literally a perfectionist, but sometimes, he played a little sloppy. Often times, he played sloppy on purpose. But of those times when Page was "ON", NOBODY could touch him"......END QUOTE.
Jun626 really gives guitarists a clear, perfect, note-for-note presentation to play this exactly as was done in the studio. The level of precision and accuracy is astonishing! Additionally, Jun626 pays close attention to tone, effects, and his videos are very professional! Really appreciate you sharing this Jun626!
Seriously? 30 dislikes? Whether you like Zep or not, this is the greatest cover I have ever heard for a song. And it only makes sense it would be Led Zeppelin's best song.
This was absolutely. Phenomenal. My all time Favorite Led Zeppelin Song (and Jimmy Page's too). Your phrasing and note bends were spot-on. You even played the Double & Triple Tracked harmony Guitar parts. One of the best things I have ever watched on You Tube. Very Impressive !!!
Before watching this, I was like "come ooooonnn nobody can do Achilles like Jimmy !"... And... That was... perfect, magical, mystical, wonderful, incredible and I don't have enough words to express what I really feel while watching your cover. Thank you for this amazing cover of Achilles, my favourite song of all times !
There's no other guy in this world who made such a vibrant, honest and pure tribute to this amazing song as Jun did. It's by far the most closest as you can get of the original by Page. l believe if Page himself stumble upon this video he'll cry a tear of joy. As l just did,
His songs never sounded the same. Lots of chords variations and his solos were all unique and fit the song perfectly. He had an intuitive genius for composition.
I've known Jimmy was a genius all my life, but actually seeing what he put into his songs is just amazing! I didn't think it was possible, but I'm going to have to move Page up to yet even another higher level, talk about genius. and you did nail it my man. Great work, great work.
John Evans he’s 74 years old, sadly I also think he does need to relearn most of his stuff. stairway in 2007 was not the best...for all we know he doesn’t have too much time left with us. Years and years are passing bye and it’s sad to seem him age.
Spiral Architect shut the fuck up. what kind of psychopath do you think I am to think I am god? fuck you! all I was saying is that since he’s 75 already then it’s probably most likely his minds not going to work as it used to therefore he will probably forget some of his songs and not play as good as he once did.
Well done! I’m not gonna say Kashmir is an overplayed song, I still love to listen to it. But in terms of epic Zep masterpieces, this is #1 for me. Also, shout out to In My Time of Dying, also absolutely epic. Would love to see you cover that.
I watch your vids "the song remains the same" and "the rain song" all the time. Your impeccable charismatic playing style is timeless. All the nuances, phrasing, sound, the whole production, four instruments in one song! Guitar, Keyboards, Bass, and Drums. The tempos are exact, and now I see this "masterpiece!" Amazing work✌️
It really is frustrating that this level of talent is completely absent from today's music. That was near-perfect! Wicked Tele, and is that an Epi at the beginning? Oh, and LOL, I agree with Diogo, THAT'S the reason his face is hidden! xD
Yeah man I hear ya. Sucks to see what garners the most watched on the 'tube. Oh well. Least this dude rocks it. I dig the tele as well. It's rare I encounter one that's a sunburst like this dude's. Most I see are solid color paint variations.
You know, when I think about it, I only know one person IRL that has a sunburst Tele. Any others I've seen have been solid colour variations, just like you said. Odd. Speaking of which, my uncle is interested in grabbing a sunburst Tele for around $1000-ish this summer, as long as the quality isn't complete garbage, of course. But yeah, it's a little depressing when you look at the top viewed music videos, I'm right there with you. Thank god for people like this guy. :D
Yeah funny how the tele just kind of skips the whole sunburst thing. On note of talent... dude a while back I found some killer fingerstyle ragtime. Check out Richard Smith- The Cascades, Scott Joplin. The guy crushes it. Piano was my foremost instrument (and still is). The song was murder on that instrument- kills my wrists pretty fast at full speed. Making it work on 6 strings is just ape to me.
There are some rock bands that are decent out there today . Rival sons Royal blood, the struts , the warning, the trio of sisters from Monterrey. Motion Device from Canada. Sounds blasphemous but even Greta van fleet ye they sound like Zeppelin but im still a fan.
To me Jimmy Page is absolutely unique in the way he has written songs including the melodie/solo parts. This, Jun626, is one of the greatest tributes I´ve ever listened to (same as your Heartbreaker solo). Keep it up and upload more of your material! R.I.P. Bonzo
Scott Waszak I imagine the same thing when I listen to Tea For One. It sounds as if Page is in pain, his guitar playing becomes an extension of himself and it mirrors his soul.
Man you should have shown your face! How do we know this isn’t Jimmy Page playing this. Got Page’s pitch and tone down to a tee. Almost note for note the way it is on the studio recording. Outstanding performance!
Its like this guy is the only person on RUclips that understands I want to see his fingers on the guitar instead of being 20 feet away trying to watch someone fingers. Amazing video sir and great camera angle.
Blown away. Realizing the effort and skill it took to learn each of these parts and then play flawlessly...is amazing. I think the true testimony is grasping how complex each layer of Page's guitar parts were, and the ability to create and arrange. Jun626: amazing guitarist...probably can play anything. awesome!
Best cover of a song I have ever heard. So punchy and powerful...it's modernized and heavier. The mix is incredible every instrumental cuts through...and the dual guitar at 3;02 brutal madness. My favorite Led Zep song and you blew it up.
this is a flawlesss cover ,complete with the "laboured" guitar solo. This song is about the Seige of Masadars in 70 AD in Isrealv. The Guitar solo represents the building(and rebuilding) ofthe seige ramp by the Jewish captives and the "battereing " drums represent the ballista stones hitting the malls of the pallace. The vocals repersent the narrative of events inside the pallace.
All I’m gonna say is god damn. That album has always been my favorite -such power throughout and lyrics are insane. You my friend are gifted beyond belief-someone passed your info on RUclips to me and I’m glad I stopped by. Keep playing and posting and best of luck in all your endeavors
I mean certainly on the record he used multiple guitar tracks but there are videos of him playing this live where he pretty much just focuses on the main parts.
I absolutely love your playing! Sounds very similar to recording and also very comfortable angle to learn this songs from your videos) Thank you for this
And let me just say about your playing, the video, and choreographing all the parts. WOW! Probably one of the best show 'em how guitar videos on the net. Epic.
Jun 626 You are brilliant!!! It sounds so good!!! and it easy to see what you are playing, thank you for such an amazing videos, I just want to pick my guitar and learn the licks and parts I didn't have clear. It's pure Zeppelin!! And the production for this video in particular is perfect!!!
wow, very well done. It sounded just like the album , all of the guitar parts Sounded Amazing, great camera video footage. This for sharing, This is my favorite led zeppelin song ,,,
Impeccable timing, perfect bends, and tone that is without peer, fantastic job. I must also give thanks to he who is the creator, Jimmy Page, praise him with great praise.
I had previously commented that your video of Rain Song is the best video on the internet. I stand by that statement... ....but this is a DAMN close second! How enjoyable to watch. Congrats on your talent.
What can you say? This guy did his homework, and it really shows, Jimmy's genius, and for once that's the right word.
In the 1970s, I was just a kid hold up in my room spinning these records from start to finish in awe of what I was hearing. Even as an awkward adolescent I knew it was great music. In my my mind's eye I'd try imagine what the guitar player must have been doing to get those sounds.

What a gift!
Same but it was a cd walkman in the late 90s
I saw Zeppelin last show in the USA 7/24/77 Oakland Ca. I can still see Jimmy/Bozo going at it!!! Brilliant track!!!!✌️
Discovered Page and Zeppelin in 1975 as a 14 year old boy when Physical Grafitti came out. Then came Presence. Then I started buying all of Zeps earlier stuff. My life changed forever after learning and listening to Page's masterpieces.
This, Kashmir and Stairway are Page's 3 true masterpieces.
Then there's Since I've been loving you, Tea for One... about 50 more haha
Please don’t ever forget 10 years gone....please please don’t forget this one cause so many have and I think it’s a mortal sin and people may need to go to their local church for a confession
@@johnlo1966 ten years gone is one of their best songs ever but it doesnt get recognised. the whole album physical grafiti is their best in my opinion
@@tw_bomb5517 I feel like I enjoy Led 3, 4 and Houses of the Holy better. But its really hard to rank them, because they're all TOP NOTCH albums and each has a good number of bangers, including their first, which is pretty impressive if you ask me. Consistently great albums. 👍
@@johnlo1966 adding In my time of dying and the rain song!!!!!
No quarter, live 1973
Watching you play “Achilles Last Stand” note for note clearly demonstrates why Jimmy was the man and till today so many guitarist look at him as one of the greatest of all time. Thanks to you and thanks to Jimmy.
Not only is this an awesome cover, but it truly makes me appreciate Jimmy Page's brilliance that much more! Great job!
Exactly.
hear hear
A serious amount of work and effort went into this great rendition/analysis of the original tune. It's a great upload.
Page...just leaps and bounds, songwriting-wise, ahead of any other rock guitarist.
Paul B he said songwriting wise
@@gsxrkz The famous engineer Eddie Kramer worked on some of Zeppelin's albums as well as Jimi Hendrix.........and Eddie once said in an interview, quote: "Jimmy Page was literally a perfectionist, but sometimes, he played a little sloppy.

Howabouthetruth can I get a link to that?
@@kingzriot976 That interview with Eddie Kramer was from the early to mid 90's, in one of the guitar player magazines. Sorry, no video.
gsxrkz yeah I’ve seen that one Jimmy always does the finger tapping thing on the heartbreaker solo

Sir Jun
This is bloody amazing, great arrangement and super video, one of the best Zep videos on the net.
why is your comment there in every rock music related video lol
Seriously? 30 dislikes? Whether you like Zep or not, this is the greatest cover I have ever heard for a song. And it only makes sense it would be Led Zeppelin's best song.
It is their best song. Jimmy said it was his favorite song to create and to play. And he said it it was their best
All the dislikes are the people who watch ramper room and sesame street
This is the greatest cover of Jimmy Page's best guitar song. Amazing
Andrew Becker Double Amen
+jeffrey hinkel tripple amen ...
Quadruple that!
It's Quintupled amen now.
Its hard to rank the Led songs. They all have such great guitar. But this is definitely top 10.
This was absolutely. Phenomenal. My all time Favorite Led Zeppelin Song (and Jimmy Page's too). Your phrasing and note bends were spot-on. You even played the Double & Triple Tracked harmony Guitar parts. One of the best things I have ever watched on You Tube. Very Impressive !!!

Presence in general is an extremely underrated album. Great rendition of an epic arrangement!
Flawless. Tone, note, feel. Like I'm listening to the LP I bought when it came out.
This was pure heaven to watch and listen ❤️❤️❤️
I've known Jimmy was a genius all my life, but actually seeing what he put into his songs is just amazing! I didn't think it was possible, but I'm going to have to move Page up to yet even another higher level, talk about genius. and you did nail it my man. Great work, great work.
assassins creed. brilliant workmanship Jun!
This is the all time best guitar cover on youtube. incredibly accurate. It just doesn't get any better!
A proclamation to rock and roll. An epic solo is an understatement. It describes a battle between man and himself, with mere string plucking.
If Jimmy ever needed to relearn it - This would be his reference.
I hate to say it, but...he needs to relearn almost everything...
John Evans he’s 74 years old, sadly I also think he does need to relearn most of his stuff. stairway in 2007 was not the best...for all we know he doesn’t have too much time left with us. Years and years are passing bye and it’s sad to seem him age.
Spiral Architect shut the fuck up. what kind of psychopath do you think I am to think I am god? fuck you! all I was saying is that since he’s 75 already then it’s probably most likely his minds not going to work as it used to therefore he will probably forget some of his songs and not play as good as he once did.
Glimour's old and his second solo of comfortably numb at Pompeii was the most beautiful thing I've heard in 10's.
I assume you're joking, this player has terrible rhythm...plzzzz, someone get a metronome!!
Well done! I’m not gonna say Kashmir is an overplayed song, I still love to listen to it. But in terms of epic Zep masterpieces, this is #1 for me. Also, shout out to In My Time of Dying, also absolutely epic. Would love to see you cover that.
By far the best cover of Achilles' Last Stand on youtube.

All the nuances, phrasing, sound, the whole production, four instruments in one song! Guitar, Keyboards, Bass, and Drums. The tempos are exact, and now I see this "masterpiece!"
Amazing work✌️
HEAVY and without a power chord or un-ending distortion to be seen.
Page was a genius at all aspects of music, using melody, harmony and rhythm.
Jimmy songwriting skills are amazing
Can’t underestimate the drummer RIP adding another great dimension to this performance.
It really is frustrating that this level of talent is completely absent from today's music. That was near-perfect! Wicked Tele, and is that an Epi at the beginning? Oh, and LOL, I agree with Diogo, THAT'S the reason his face is hidden! xD
Yeah man I hear ya. Sucks to see what garners the most watched on the 'tube. Oh well. Least this dude rocks it. I dig the tele as well. It's rare I encounter one that's a sunburst like this dude's. Most I see are solid color paint variations.

Speaking of which, my uncle is interested in grabbing a sunburst Tele for around $1000-ish this summer, as long as the quality isn't complete garbage, of course.
But yeah, it's a little depressing when you look at the top viewed music videos, I'm right there with you. Thank god for people like this guy. :D
Yeah funny how the tele just kind of skips the whole sunburst thing. On note of talent... dude a while back I found some killer fingerstyle ragtime.

The song was murder on that instrument- kills my wrists pretty fast at full speed. Making it work on 6 strings is just ape to me.
People can shred and sweep but they can't get the tone, emotional, the bend and the vibrato. This has it all. True musician!
There are some rock bands that are decent out there today . Rival sons Royal blood, the struts , the warning, the trio of sisters from Monterrey. Motion Device from Canada. Sounds blasphemous but even Greta van fleet ye they sound like Zeppelin but im still a fan.
Oh yeah well done once again- love playing this as well. Really good job! 🎸🌿🧘🏼🙏
To me Jimmy Page is absolutely unique in the way he has written songs including the melodie/solo parts. This, Jun626, is one of the greatest tributes I´ve ever listened to (same as your Heartbreaker solo). Keep it up and upload more of your material!
R.I.P. Bonzo
Yes (Jun626) I believe there's noting he can't play should a Rock Star.
Brilliant!!! Beautiful guitar!!!
I always thought only Page's version could give me chills, well Jun did it too!
やっぱ、ギターカバーとかベースカバーとか見るとそれぞれにバッキンだけでも、ちょい訳わかん音入るよな。ライブではボンゾもジョンとレコードと違う事して二人で遊んでるし。その上で歌うって…4人共にえげつないバランス感覚やね。
Just really outstanding.
This is sooo Great! 🌃🌟🌠🌌🌞
What a masterpiece. You get a PHD for this one jun. Cheers!
"Bad ass man.. have spent many of time trying to learn this tune, you got it down!" ✌
That was amazing. You could be in a Zepp tribute band with those skills.
Remarkably perfect! Like watching Jimmy's gifted fingers up close.
p.s. the solo is just brilliantly tortured; one can almost hear the heroin pouring out...
That made me laugh.. Great comment!
Scott Waszak I imagine the same thing when I listen to Tea For One. It sounds as if Page is in pain, his guitar playing becomes an extension of himself and it mirrors his soul.
Yup, that is why chasing the dragon isn't such a good chase
you are such a fucking idiot what do you know about dope
Stephen Paliotti you look pretty stupid lol
Man you should have shown your face! How do we know this isn’t Jimmy Page playing this. Got Page’s pitch and tone down to a tee. Almost note for note the way it is on the studio recording. Outstanding performance!
OUT OF THIS WORLD AWESOME !!! Great Work! Page couldn't do it any better.
you've go to be kidding me
Don't talk shit about jimmy
Kade Morgan wasn't saying a thing about Jimmy. Was referring to the video not the playing.
Ok cool
Probably the coolest intro and outro I’ve ever heard. Put those on a loop and I could listen to them, for hours. Fantastic job!
Awesom!
Sir. KFIR :0
Would like to see you cover this
I've been playing guitar for 40 years as a rhythm guitarist. Jun626 taught me how to play this with this video. Thank you.
I'm pretty sure this Jun guy is actually jimmy page. we can't actually see his face in any of these covers.. btw come to Canada and join my band
Jimmy can play this good! Especially in on take!!
Even wearing the flower Page Shirt!!!!
Fantastic Cover.. One of the best covers I have ever heard
I got the chills!
Its like this guy is the only person on RUclips that understands I want to see his fingers on the guitar instead of being 20 feet away trying to watch someone fingers. Amazing video sir and great camera angle.
Jun626 where the hell are you!?!? It's been years since you've released a video! Your fans wants you back!!!!
Dude you slaughtered this, the ending plucking always gives me chills hand down the most beautiful ending to a song with a guitar ever
HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY JIMMY!!!!!:D:D OUR FAMILY SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
This is honestly played so well. Hella props to you good sir
Fantasticly Great Job !!!!!
THIS is the best guitar solo of all time. Not stairway to heaven.
It's a great solo isn't it?
So good
+Billy Bob lol no
Brighton rock is better IMO.
I kind of agree with you. I go back and forth on the two.
Wow... I haven't seen one rendition of this song that is soooo close to the original. Thanks for this true masterpiece!
Thank God for ears!
Blown away. Realizing the effort and skill it took to learn each of these parts and then play flawlessly...is amazing. I think the true testimony is grasping how complex each layer of Page's guitar parts were, and the ability to create and arrange. Jun626: amazing guitarist...probably can play anything. awesome!
Holy fucking flying cows poop bro. Epic video

So true to the original
Achilles Last Stand has absolutely one of best guitar solos ever recorded IMHO, and this is an amazing facsimile thereof... awesome job!
Jun626 play slower, I see smoke coming from your guitars.
A wonderful rendition of the original. It made my spine tingle. Thank you for doing it justice!!
Jimmy Page, o melhor de todos...
Excellent homage and playing to Zeppelin...awesome.
How did Jimmy do this with one guitar?
I mean certainly on the record he used multiple guitar tracks but there are videos of him playing this live where he pretty much just focuses on the main parts.
I've always thought this song was an epic masterpiece and you just absolutely slayed it. BRAVO !!
Come on Jimmy, Show u your face!
The reason I've been watching you for about 3 years now. Purely amazing.
Don't try this at home.
I have followed you for years. One of the best technical players I have seen. Everything is correct to the albums. Love it.
How can people say Jimmy Hendrix is the greatest when Paige is responsible for this masterpiece.
This is perfect. All the technichal, the tone and soul. lots of times one is lost. Not here.
Wow, very good. So obviously you sold your soul to the devil too right? Right.
definitely the best guitarist on youtube, jun always plays every song perfect
Been playing guitar for 30+ years and am a big Zep fan, and brother- you ROCK! Very sweet work indeed. Keep it up!
Top job! Stunning playing plus the right-shirt-for-the-era too!!! Some people are just too talented. You joined that club !!!!!
My friend thank you so so much for your great playing and teaching!!!! you are my hero only behind Jimmy :-) God bless!
Glad to see you decided to re-record this one! I grew tired of having to search for the old video each time.
I absolutely love your playing! Sounds very similar to recording and also very comfortable angle to learn this songs from your videos) Thank you for this
And let me just say about your playing, the video, and choreographing all the parts. WOW! Probably one of the best show 'em how guitar videos on the net. Epic.
That was really awesome my friend!
A rare Zeppelin classic played as good or better. Thanks for the share! ***** Favored
Simply amazing... When I saw the flowered shirt, I thought... this is Jimmy Page. Nice switch to the Les Paul at the end. I'm blown away.
Greatest Zeppelin masterpiece covered damn near to perfection. Mad skillz!
Jun 626 You are brilliant!!! It sounds so good!!! and it easy to see what you are playing, thank you for such an amazing videos, I just want to pick my guitar and learn the licks and parts I didn't have clear. It's pure Zeppelin!!
And the production for this video in particular is perfect!!!
wow, very well done. It sounded just like the album , all of the guitar parts Sounded Amazing, great camera video footage. This for sharing, This is my favorite led zeppelin song ,,,
Impeccable timing, perfect bends, and tone that is without peer, fantastic job.
I must also give thanks to he who is the creator, Jimmy Page, praise him with great praise.
JUN, Thank You for ALL of your music. Born a Led Head, I go to your renditions to learn properly, great playing, Thanks again !
I had previously commented that your video of Rain Song is the best video on the internet. I stand by that statement...
....but this is a DAMN close second! How enjoyable to watch. Congrats on your talent.
the riff in this song is just unbelievably awesome! Brian may was blown away by Jimmy's genius work in this, ill bet he tried himself to jam to this
jimmy himself would be impressed! wow man! GREAT JOB!! note for note, NAILED IT!
Thanks for showing all the parts, Jun. Well done. What an odyssey of a song!
