Led Zeppelin's Bring It On Home - Guitar Lesson [Guitar Solo and Song Breakdown]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- This episode analyzes Led Zeppelin’s track, “Bring it on Home” a blues “sandwich” which closes the album
Led Zeppelin II from 1969. During the intro to this video I demonstrate the epic guitar riff and verse guitar
figures as three overdubs just like Jimmy Page played on the track: The main theme, the main theme
doubled with the harmony part, and the octave up version of the main theme. Disclosure: That is me
playing the guitar riffs live against a RUclips backing track. I’m using my 1970/72 Les Paul into a Bogner
gain pedal into my Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp.
In this episode I discuss: 1. the origins of the blues track (Willie Dixon composer, Sony Boy Williamson II
recording artist; 2. The mindset of how to stay in the groove while playing the blues figure (it’s about a
train ride and you have to keep steadily chugging through the figure); 3. the great Jimmy Page riffs that sit
in between the blues bookends; 4. I compare the blues figure from Sonny Boy Williamson’s recording to
Led Zeppelin studio version through to my favorite Led Zeppelin live version (LA Forum Sept. 4, 1970 “Live
on Blueberry Hill”); 5. I also mention the greatest riff of all on this song is John Bonham’s opening double
snare hit! Has anyone ever said more with less musically?
This episode wraps up my journey through Led Zeppelin II. I have grown so much by bringing this
reassessment of this music from my childhood to you. I’m so in love with this material I plan to play this
album in local pubs live just to share it with people as soon as possible. From here I will pick some other
great artists to start analyzing. Please give me as many suggestions as you can. And, of course, please
like, subscribe and share this content. My ability to continue to present these videos requires the support
of my camera guy and editor (I’m no good at those things). Anything we can do to build a base here will
help me keep it going!
Stemming from my 40+ years as a professional musician and composer as well as being a passionate
musicologist, I bring a classical and historical perspective to my love of rock music by analyzing and
playing some of the most iconic music of all time. At the heart of all my videos is my enthusiasm, my thirst
for understanding and a gift for sharing the simple to sublime with others. Music and people are my life.
Whether you’re a guitar player, musician, songwriter or just a music enthusiast, I’m sure you will find
something in these videos to inspire you and make you smile.

this is my favourite LZ album and you've done it all! youre a legend!
One of my most favorite Zeppelin songs ever....love blues..great breakdown and tutorial..hope to be able to play one day..awesome..thank you Carl!!🎼
Carl, you are such a BLESSING to all of us, thank you so much for this journey, and I hope you can continue to educate us!
Your words are a blessing to me. Peace to you and all this Holy Week!
we really are blessed!! i learned so much!
Thank you for the encouragement and kindness.

i understand the video is about the foundation and evolution of the guitar sound....BUT...you have to mention the plant "original voice" to fully capture the genius of the song...carl does in fact touch on plants interpretation...a true music lover (is carl).
I remember reading Hammer Of The God's as a 9th grader. I am a drummer and ZEPPLIN was a butterfly that metaphorically grew into my life. Page was just a god like to me even as a little boy I could feel the machine drawing me to play hard and hit with attack. I still play drums and the little boy at 52 now still plows into ZEPPLIN.
Amazing band....
Enjoy your passion for Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Pages artistry. Can’t wait to visit your past and future uploads! Thanks!
Carl. I have been a lifelong Led Zeppelin addict. 50 years. I have played the guitar fairly badly for 30 of those years but now more recently improving. I have always kept away from my favourite band because I didn’t want to be gifted the key to the magic but how wrong I have been. Watching your insights to my beloved music just makes me love it more. Thank your sir from me in the UK 🇬🇧 you are a honorary British blues guy. We thank the U.S. 🇺🇸for giving the world this amazing music
That’s a wonderful message! Thank you so much!
The most amazing thing about your videos is that I listened to this music 40 years ago and now 40 years later I am learning about what its really all about. You are truly making amazing videos.
Your knowledge of all the small, but ever so important details is pure gold. The detail about the droopy / delayed bend in the riff was exactly what I had been missing for two decades of playing guitar.
Thanks a lot!
I do hope you revisit some other Zeppelin albums. You are so insightful. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Excellent breakdown and wall art. This is my favorite Zeppelin song. It never gets old even after 45 years with hundreds of plays. Thanks from Colorado.
Gotta add: I've listened to this song 10,000 times and you're really doing it justice.
Your tone and playing are perfect.
Thank you so much Carl. I’m from Sydney Australia and was about 14 years old when I got LZ2. I basically learned guitar by playing along with this album. Being so young and inexperienced I got a lot of the basics down but wasn’t able to get all the details. And the record wore out completely with all the needle juggling to try to hear details. I got a 68 les Paul custom when I was 15 and still have it today. I got to see LZ live in feb 73 in Sydney and it was the best show of my life so far. Your skill, experience, passion and insight is adding so much value to me I can’t thank you enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you……..
You made my day! Thx!
I’m 62 years old and grew up listening to Led Zeppelin (and still do!) and this journey you have taken us on brings me back and I thank you for that! I play a Les Paul only because Jimmy Page was and still is my guitar idle.
Your song break downs are incredible and I have learned so much, please do continue to enlighten and educate us!
Thank you Carl!
That’s so kind!! I hope you subscribed! Thank you!!!
This track always blows me away. I love Robert's vocal delivery and harmonica in the first section, and then it winds up to be an absolutely blistering rock song. What a way to end such an amazing album.And Carl, you play it so well!! Thanks for the video man.
Excellent as always Carl, can't wait for the studio vs live album comparisons.
Hey conney!
I am a singer and the guitarist and I have spent my whole life pretending that I was not as influenced by led Zeppelin as I am.
I understand Plant's vocal style on a visceral level.
You, get this music on that level, but importantly You know how to share that with us.
I cannot thank you enough.
Another masterclass from this gentleman, I could watch and listen for hours to these videos...absolutely fantastic! Please BRING ON more!!!!
Thank you so much!! I hope you subscribed?? Btw…hit the notification bell. RUclips is not prioritizing my videos.
Really liked the use of the multi-frame for all the different parts. It really cool to see all 3 simultaneously.
Thank you!
those two snare hits were the hook for me because i knew what was coming ...pure Magic!!!
One of the best album closers ever.
Great analysis; great tone! One of my all-time favorite riffs. Now I know what makes it so wonderful.
I’m so glad you got something out of it. My desire is to share the beautiful secrets I’ve learned. I want anyone who watches my videos to come away saying, “I’ve learned something and spending time watching was worth it!”
Thank you for another great video Carl! I’m glad to see someone loves this band as much as I do!
A well placed love! Keep representing good taste to your generation so that truly great music remains immortal.
Man, you sound just like the record. Flawless, inspirationally played.
Man, you really, really, nailed the tone. And, with a DR. Nice job. Killer videos. Thanks so much.
I've said it before but it bears repeating...I wish you were my guitar teacher...I'm digesting everything!
It never gets old hearing that!! Thank you!
What an amazing journey you have brought us on. Thank you. I truly can’t wait for what else you have in store for us.
The journey actually surprised me. I just thought I’d do a couple of tracks, but it became a beautiful journey for me. I’ve learned so much. If that’s all I did, I’m proud that the my Zep II portfolio is now available for years to come. One day it may find a larger audience and become an important contribution to the mosaic of the complete story of this once in a lifetime, incredible band. I wanted my utterances to be a worthy historical document.
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic to all of us who listen , it is.
Carl, your videos and history of this song and riffs bring deeper context and flavors to what is already such an AWESOME song on its own! Thank you!!!!!
One of my all time favourite Zep tracks. Love it.
Thanks Carl for creating such interesting insights on the playing of Mr Page.
My pleasure. Thank you for the like! Turn your friends on to the channel if you’re inclined!! Peace! Carl
Great channel ! I'm so glad I found it. I sure hope you'll keep making these awesome videos.
Hope to see songs from bands like Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Queen, Rainbow... too.
Long Live Rock And Roll !
And I’m glad you found me too!
Carl, I hope you are able to continue giving us many more insights into these epic tracks, all the way through their catalog.
What a breakdown of this song.
Carl, you are a super calm guy. Thanks
This riff always grabs me!
I’m a fan but not a musician and it is so interesting to see and hear your take on Led Zeppelin- you’ve got skills and super fun to watch play. Great job!
I don't know how you can expand this like you do professor. Bet you doing awesome job 🙏
This was one of my first songs. I played it over and over so my friends would think I knew something. That looks like a 70s Les Paul Gibson Deluxe
I don't know if you're familiar with truthsurge. He does cover songs but I introduced him to your Channel
Great job as always! Love the paisley shirt!
Thank you. A Varvatos design and the scarf is one of my promised Vera Neumann vintage scarves. Tapping into the Page sartorial flow!
Another grand slam on one of my favorite songs. Like you I’ve seen LZ in contour front and close and knew very note and best off all the albums. My locations were limited to the San Diego and Los Angeles areas.
Again you so poignantly got all the little nuances of the song. I used to listen with my headphones do I could hear all you explained.
SierraHotel.
I’m so glad I can represent your experiences as I share mine!
Carl, you're the best at this, period
Wow! So kind! Thank you! I give it all I’ve got!
Absolutely love what you have been doing with Zeppelin. I would gladly listen to all of your efforts for every Zeppelin album!
You right
Those two snare hits!
Probably the best content on youtube. Dude you've got some skill, and a way with words. Thanks for going in depth. I could listen to zepp all day, especially 2 and 3, and I for sure cannot stop watching your videos. Thank you
i only "discovered" this channel yesterday...and i have now watched al Led Zep episodes....:-D what a blast...so inspiring....
That is such a wonderfully encouraging and validating comment! Thank you so much!!
Great video, as always! I appreciate your knowledgable and enthusiastic presentation of Led Zep (and other) music. Keep them coming!
Please do some more lessons on Physical Graffiti tracks. You're awesome! Thanks! :-)
Super cool and detailed breakdown!! i'm old enough to have purchased the LP when it was first released!! Thank you!!
Thanks Carl for these terrific videos.
Thank you for liking and spreading the word!
By far Carl gives the BEST explanation and perspective on Jimmy Page as a guitarist and beyond
I’m giving it my all so people can feel about it what I feel about it!!
Carl! Kudos to you for your insightful videos. As an aspiring guitar player I wish I’d have found your channel sooner.
You’re now my go to channel when I get the urge to try and learn a new Zeppelin tune.
First stop. Your channel to catch the emotion and get inspired.
Next step over the the mechanical channels to read the tabs and muddle the the minutiae, then back to you get re-inspired.
Surprised you haven’t hit 1 million subs yet!
Great content, great presentation, great playing, and great quality videos.
Keep up the good work
Can I hire to be my publicist. So kind! But honestly, what you expressed is what I try to do!
Love this - great analysis and tutorial of a fantastic song. Thanks for putting it together! Please keep it going
Thank you! I hope you like and subscribe. And if you can find more subscribers that would dig this I can definitely use the help!!!
Yes,I remember it was titled Live on Blueberry hill.that version was tremendous 👏
Hey Ted, I Have an amazing cleaned up version of the lp.sounds amazing!
Outstanding spotlight on how things are put together
All good musicans love led Zeppelin!! Great work as always, thanks Carl..
Thank you!!!!
WoW Great Pic of Jimmy!
Thank You Carl ! You Rock !!!
Great lesson Carl, you’ve got me wanting to relearn my Zeppelin catalog. More Zepp!
Carl, ya killing me! I’ve got work to do lol
Haha! That’s so funny! I love this comment!!
You are anointed professor Zeppelin! That is really great, helpful and insightful work and teaching. Really unlocks why zep is so satisfying and good, belying what some find as simplistic and derivative. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for he kind words!!! I hope you subscribe and share!!
Another great video and one of my all time favourites songs. Keep it up Carl. Love the content.
Thanks, Carl. I can only reiterate the comments of the others on this great channel: thank you for taking us all on this wonderful journey with you. I've been listening (well, I thought I'd been listening) to Led Zep II for 49 years, and yet I now hear so much more in the music thanks to your fascinating and inspiring presentations. Your joy for the music is infectious.
Well, I can't wait to see where you're taking us next. I only know that you like Blackmore. So, will it be more Led Zep (no complaints from me). Or Blackmore? Or, perhaps, someone else?
Mr Baldassarre, sir, I think that a man of your infinite class, taste and refinement just has to be a fan of both Steve Howe and David Gilmour.
Tony, first of all, thank you for the very kind words. I give it my all and I appreciate your acknowledgment. ...And yes, Howe and Gilmour are two exquisite guitar players! Although they have completely different approaches (like Page and all the true “greats”) they create their own unmistakable, sonic world that is immediately recognizable. Love them both!
Love your enthousiasm and your (in m'y ears) excellent interprétation. Looking forward to more vidéos.
I love your videos!! The level of care and detail you employ to go into these analyses is really wonderful to see and also learn from. One possible suggestion: I would love to listen to your videos analyzing each Zep album as a collection, so maybe consider putting, for example all of the Led Zeppelin II videos in a single playlist?
I’m thinking about discuss the totality of the 5th album, Houses of the Holy!
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic excellent!! I can't wait to hear what you have to say!
I am so glad I came across your channel
I’m so glad you told me!!
Thank you Carl. If only we knew then right? However it's possibly sweeter now. It's interesting how these lads and songs inspired so many and where would we be if there had not been The Yardbirds? I appreciate your passion and the depths your exploring very much and am looking forward to more!
I have been playing this riff for 10 years, and thanks to you I now realise Page doesn't play it with hammer-on's
Just discovering your site. So good to hear from another Zep-ologist. Impressed you know the history of this song, and play it so well. Their intro/outro is so close sounding to Sonny Boy's version its eerie. Thanks for the efforts!
Another great dissection. Love your 3 man intro.!!.and Blueberry Hill is awesome.
Thanks. I was wondering if anybody liked that! Thanks for noticing and watching. Please like and subscribe if you haven’t done so!
Carl, I’m loving all your videos. Amazing insight and execution.
I’m very excited for what you say is coming down the pipe. Can’t wait!
Thank you very much Carl for this excellent presentation and analysis ! I am going to grab my Crosscut (for those who ask : Reverend guitar, like a doped tele) and start to learn to play this piece as well as I can !
Thanks Carl! This is awesome!
My first time on this channel. ... 30 seconds in and Subbed! 👍😀
Kick ass content and a master class. Glad to hear you are planning on more exploration of great composition!
Nice one Carl, one of my favourite Page riffs, spine tingling ....
Great stuff!!! I’m hooked! On the subject of great bands and player’s! Aerosmith’s first album “Dream on” is chock full of incredible blues elements and guitar riffs worthy of anyone looking to improve their playing! I love to see your breakdown of this often overlooked masterpiece!! .. Great channel! Cain’t put my guitar down!!
Good history lesson. Love the show.
Glad you enjoyed it
Sir, don't you ever stop making videos!!
great stuff...really enjoy your analysis & enthusiasm. I like playing the opening "chugging" riff with the side of my thumb tip...seems to add that fleshy fatness goodness to the sound.
With your help I have learned so much thank you
Your very welcome! Thank you watching!
Thanks again Carl, another great break down right down to the pick angle which really made a difference when I was playing along, great way to close out two, looking forward to more. 220th Darrel.
You’re very welcome! I’m glad the pick angle mindfulness helped you. There is so much to say on that. It’s important to recognize and allow yourself to continuously adjust the parameters to picking! There is NO “constant” at the molecular level. In fact my pick angle changes within that very riff to accommodate what’s necessary. If you’re stumbling trying to play something always check two things: the fingering and the picking (angles as well as motions -up/down etc). The problem is usually one or the other or both! Peace my friend!!
Carl - Great video! Give us some info on your Lester. The inlays are not your standard Standard inlays. The first also has an inlay? Did you have some custom work done? Tks.
More! I’m enjoying your journey and insights into Led Zeppelin with a focus on Jimmy Page’s incredible guitar godliness. Your talent is awesome. Love the play by play explanations of what Jimmy was doing with background and lineage to the music. I’ve seen a couple of your videos now and I am now on board to see all of your posts! Keep’em coming!!
Now that I’ve been playing three hours of LZ live on my revival tour, I’ve discovered and I uncovered many insights and secrets I hope to share these tidbits on RUclips one day!! Please share my channel!!
Wish you would continue these. I really enjoy your perspective and explanation of the theory of the songs!
I’m actually preparing to shoot more. Please recommend my channel to others. I need the support to keep it going! Thanks so much for the encouragement!
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic can't wait! Thank you for responding 🙂
Thank you SO much for mentioning Brian Auger and Jimmy Page playing together. BA's version of Indian Rope Man is bomb. JS.
Isn’t BA incredible?!!! I have total respect and loved learning about the Page collaboration.
Thank You
Carl
In my top 10 Zeppelin tunes! Than you Carl!
Awesome thanks
You nailed "The chunky sound". Once again thanks for taking your time do these for your subscribers.
Hey Chris my buddy! Thanks for always being there! If I had 10,000 just like you subscribing, we’d be in business! Yes, that live chunky intro is so great and single handedly demonstrates all one needs to know about the two creatures of Led Zeppelin studio vs Led Zeppelin live!! PS I’m auditioning vocalist in a couple of weeks for the zeppelin II local pub concerts I’m going to do! PS: I just signed on to do a North American tour next January - February. I’ll be playing my Collinwood Yards album across US and Canada.
That's phenomenal it's all starting to come together, you deserve it. By the way, I'm always available for free consulting.... haha.
Your hired!
I gotta acknowledge the Silvertone 14xx in the back ground - nice bit of vintage.
Thank you! One of my true joys!
Do you have any way of knowing (perhaps from live footage) who is playing the cowbell during the rock portion? It's so easy to overlook background percussion like the cowbell but for some reason in this song it just really, really carries something through the entire rock portion. If it's Bonham doing that on top of all his other work then that is truly amazing but I suspect it might be Plant. I'd love to know.
Mr. Baldassarre, what a tremendous series this has been! You're insights and analysis of this album have been educational and inspiring! After watching them, I just want to go and pickup my guitar and start playing!
May I be so bold as to make a suggestion/recommendation? As big a fan as I am of Mr. Page and LZ, my reason for wanting to play guitar started in 1971, when I purchased the Humble Pie album "Humble Pie Performance Rockin' The Fillmore". Although I have a few players such as Mr. Page, Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell, Mark Farner, Alex Lifeson, Jeff Beck, Gary Moore and Peter Green that I consider as favorites, from that day on, Peter Frampton has been my overall favorite guitar player. It was his playing on that album that inspired me to play. His style was like nothing I had heard before or since for that matter, with his melodic approach mixed with jazz. I would love for you to analyze and hear your thoughts on his playing.
Cheers,
MB
He’s such a lyrical player. Maybe one day I can get on that!
Great video!
Hi Carl, I just found you and your channel and I just subscribed! Led Zeppelin II I found back in June of 1972 when I first saw them at the Nassau Coliseum at age 14… And like you I have been immersing myself in my favorite album of all time Led Zeppelin II going on nearly 50 years! I can’t wait to dig into all your videos you’re doing a fantastic job of not only describing the technical aspects but the brilliance of the music itself… Blueberry Hill is my first ever bootleg as well, for me it was in 1973 that I first heard it… And while the studio version of Bring It On Home blows me away every time I listen to it, the live version from Blueberry Hill has got its own bit of magic for sure!… Love that you’re touching on it here… One little thing I’m surprised that you did not mention though in this video. Yes the main riff is one of Jimmy‘s best of all time. But those double stop and triad chords things that he’s doing underneath Plants vocals are some of the most manic an amazing playing I’ve ever heard him do… And pure tone from the gods!… rock on 😊
So agree on the verse chordal riffs. They were one of my most delightful new licks to discover. I played wrong when I was young and was blown away with his great it feels under my fingers when I figured it out for these videos. Sometimes I get so excited doing these videos sharing everything I love I forget some of the main points I wanted to make!!
Awesome as always
Thanks again!
Once again Carl... You brought us another great installment of Zep!... I really have enjoyed this series because it got me into going back and learning some riffs and stuff I've forgotten or really didn't bother to sit my butt down and learn... I was never much into really learning "Other Peoples" music if you will.. I always had this fear of cross contaminating my playing style. But ultimately I got to understand you have to learn somewhere along the line.. And for me.. This was a great reminder.. Thank you again for this incredible insightful series.. ,,V
Thanks Nick! I appreciate you brother. Your learned words and encouragement mean a lot!
My favorite live version is Earl’s Court in 1970. It’s also filmed so we can see his technique and neck positions
And his tone control.
@Conorlauren Think you mean the Albert Hall. Zeppelin didn’t play Earl’s Court until May ‘75.
@@Mike_Bacon_O.B.E.
I believe you are correct.
Your channel is just so great. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of these epic songs. Thanks for your hard work I really appreciate it.
Jimmy is just so great. His solos are like little songs within the main song. His solo’s pick you up and tell you a story and then place you back down. Cheers ✌️🎸🇨🇦❤️
Thank you so much for all the positive comments. I REALLY appreciate it and agree with all your characterizations of Jimmy Page and the band!!! Please like, subscribe and share. It’s hard getting the word out!
Blueberry Hill is one of the best bootlegs, respect.
Hey there Carl, i just found you yesterday. fantastic! Your insight is on spot. Out of curiosity how was the guitar tuned, standard, or dropped D?. You have such a positive vibration. You are a cool dude in Mississippi. M. K....
Thank you sir!! Standard.
Cool video again, Carl, thank you. That's quite the journey! Regarding Willi Dixon and this song, I'm trying to dig up an old Jimmy Reed recording (I think it's on a CD packed away on a shelf) in which he delivered the lines: "Took a little walk down down, messed and got back late, find a note here waiting for me, said 'Daddy I just can't wait" I was gobsmacked because like every other Zep Head, I knew the estate of Willi Dixon won the copyright. I had no idea Plant had ransacked Jimmy Reed as well! On reflection it's not surprising, since Plant was a genuine blues fan and afficionado even at age 19. He would've soaked up that lyric like all the others: he was marinated in it. 😁
I always thought it was "took a little walk downtown"?
Apologies if you answered in another vid, but why does the Les Paul Standard there have the LP Custom inlays?
Tanks for all your Comments on jimmy page and your tricks you show beacause im à very very bien fans of jimmy page
Ils so difficult to play jimmys licks and solo and readem .
