Since I've been loving you, I've noticed you have the tendency to ramble on over the hills and far away, leaving me rather dazed and confused at times. But hey, hey what can I do, I still have a whole lotta love for you, no sense letting this communication breakdown turn into a heartbreaker.
So I'm gonna give you all my love, hoping that when the levee breaks you don't leave me out here standing like a fool in the rain, reaching for the stairway to heaven.
Seriously though, good lesson as expected man. Always pleasant learning from a down to earth dude.
Branden Weeks I'm gonna crawl!
I just want to be Ian's backdoor man.
Dude, that's not how it works.
Sean Daniel very very gay!
Zeppelin is still the best band of all time. Listen to their live bootlegs from 1969-1973. You'll be witnessing 4 master musicians who know each other so well they can each lead and improv and know that the rest of the band can keep up, who are in the storm's eye of inventiveness. The furnace of creation!
Whenever I hit a wall with my playing, I watch your lessons and it inspires me to keep going !
Ian. Thank you, thank you , thank you ! When I decided to get into guitar in my late fortys (52 now) I wanted to understand it. The beginners books helped some. But THIS is what I've been craving. Your "in the mind of" and vids like this one have me glued to your channel. I can't thank you enough.
This is so coincidental, because I had that same opinion about this lessons or tutorials or whatever they call this way of explaining by Sean Daniel!! And I am 54 (and believe me I've had my share of methods and stuff) so we have something in common I think. Greetings from Frans Venrooy!!!☮️☯️ 🎸😉fransvenrooy@gmail.com
I've ALWAYS wondered why that extra note in his scales sounded so good, but now having the structure broken down, I can appreciate Page's compositions so much more! Good stuff, brother! Thank you!
Thank you, sir. I've seen others try to explain this concept (minor pentatonic w/ major third), but never this clearly. Great examples. The intelligence you have provided will shorten the war by years and save countless lives.
....... that's funny
I’m a fairly experienced guitar player, on my 9th year right now. Never really played with other people much. Never had the opportunity. But man you’re unlocking something in my mind when it comes to creation and scales and soloing. It’s all so wonderful. Thank you for turning a lonely musician’s frustrations into excitement and opportunities. Love this channel.
Thanks! So glad you are liking it!
If you watch old versions of Jimmy playing the How Many More Times solo, you'll notice it's in E minor but he's playing that major 3rd. I noticed that when I was a kid and thought it was cool. Never thought about him doing it on riffs.
I used to listen to the blues like crazy at one time. All those songs remind me of those country blues players mainly Charlie Patton. I still have his entire recordings and I went off on this tangent and learned how to play all these Charlie Patton songs. I got addicted. Anyway..
You have got me back into Zeppelin. I need a new t shirt though. Old one doesn't fit. Great lesson!
Kevin Calamoneri Funny how those damn t shirts shrink more the older we get isn’t it!! 😂🤣
I've never got over them. In fact, they've been the soundtrack to my life, literally! Every day I discover something new in a rhythm or arrangement; like finding an Easter egg lol
You mean there was a time when you weren’t into Zep?
The 3rd major its very typical of the 50’s rock n roll . Using it as a passing note over a minor chord give the solo a total different dimension.Also,I would add a Dorian mode as Page does on his solo work as well as his ‘writing template’ ..harmonic minors scales and Phrygian modes mixed with Dominant pentatonics creates that Celtic/Arabic/Indian moods.
If you know how to “harmonize all this scales and modes “ you’ll be have the potential to become the next Jimmy Page..
Thank you very much for this tutorial ! Excellent explanation very satisfying .
🎸👏👏👏🤟🏼
He nailed it. Congrats.

All the great blues players used both major and minor pentatonic. The first person to do it a lot was BB King as part of his signature style. That was stamped indelibly on Eric Clapton. The thing I like about Page is that he stays mostly within the minor realm and occasionally sprinkles some of the major in it. Going back-and-forth between the major and minor third is in a LOT of Page solos.
I would also say that stylistically his slurring style is found in Hubert Sumlin and his slide technique is mostly influenced from Elmore James.
I don’t think people understand how great a musician Page was. When you look at him on that TV show at 13 he was already highly accomplished.. He had fingerings down, all his chords, scales, you name it. That is precisely why he’s so fluent on the guitar. He never struggles. His vocabulary was so much greater than most of the guitarist of his generation.
And all of it… founded In the blues! Good video 👍
You're a GREAT teacher Rob. I too was highly inspired by Jimmy page (after Clapton) and I've been doing most of these tricks for years. That slide from the minor third to the major third has become a signature in my playing. And using mixalodian scales. Watching your videos has given me the theoretical understanding of what I'd been doing intuitively for decades and with that has come a new freedom to create intentionally.
Mixo is key to understanding Page.
LedHed Steven 🎸 🎹 🎸
Page does the same thing with the Major 3rd in bring it on home. Such a great addition to the scale when used correctly.
I don't have enough music theory to understand most of this, but watching this made me improvise stuff I don't usually come up with. Thanks, I guess I need to read up on theory I'm sure it'll help me get better much faster.
Imho Jimmy Page was the greatest rock rifftologists of all time. Another fantastic lesson. You took some riffs from Jimmy's Page. Thanks!
Damn! That improv riff had me groovin
Yeah, that was embarrassing. :)
sounded like Lenny Kravitz
Stich, I am newer subscriber (and now a fan). Great job explaining the major 3rd and how critical it was to JP's tone. As a self taught guitarist, I take my theory in massive helpings of 'must know' and this vid just filled me up!!!
Thank you!!!!!
Your breakdown and dissection of Jimmy’s riffs is amazing! You definitely got inside his head and how he approached writing songs. Outstanding!
Helped shape Classic Rock throughout the Delta and the East Coast in the 70's. Enjoy this guy's penetrations. Thank you for sharing. And thank you for caring on the flame..
I heard Out on the Tiles today on the radio randomly and felt inspired to go down a rabbit hole and ended up here. Riff maestro along with Iommi. Thanks a bunch for the video.
Here is a killer riff for my new song: (A) dubba-dubba-chunka-chunka-dooboo-doo-dee (C#) wiki-wiki-cheaky-doo-bleee. (E ~vibrato bendy) Waaaa-waaa- (pinch harmoic-gliss) (copyright trademark ascap bmi payola).
This guy is the man! I am a huge Zeppelin guy! I play pretty much any Zeppelin and this guy is great
You pinpointed what gives Page riffs that swagger. Incredibly helpful instruction, thanks!!! The story of your guitar in the live vid is hilarious BTW...
Incredible lesson ! Tactical dot summary
1. Play the minor pentatonic over the 7th chord
2. Add the major 3rd in the riff (pref in the end)
3. Try using the Major 3rd close to the Minor 3rd
Page is holding the E7 in whole lotta love solo
Fabulous lesson, great examples. I was able to play along the whole time. (Wow - about 18 months time since I started working with you. I can see how much I've learned since Blues Trick #1, and Neverlost.) Thanks, Stich.
It’s been a journey! You have been there since the start! So glad you are playing , understanding and having fun!
I have been trying to play guitar for about 8 years, and I have never been able to put things together to get beyond a 4 chord strummer - until I started watching your videos. Things are starting to click a a great pace. You are a great teacher, my friend.
You are a Saint!! And we All should bow down every time you walk by!!
This is exactly the kind of breakdown on "breaking" the rules I've been looking for over the last few years, can't thank you enough.
As a Led Zeppelin worshipper..I admire the way you do the breakdown of my favorite music.. Thanks Sir Stich..
Keep it coming Stitch. You've made my guitar playing so much more exciting. I haven't been this stoked to play in years! Thank you! Blowing my mind!
Self taught, by ear lp now I know what I am doing!! Explosion!!!!
You have single-handedly reignited my enthusiasm for playing guitar. Been stuck in a rut guitar wise for a few years now but see light ahead. Thank you!!
Dude, ever since I discovered this channel a few days ago, I just can't keep my guitar down! And I've been playing for a while. This is by far the best guitar teaching ever. Sir, I thoroughly enjoy advancing my musicianship by your instruction.
So observant and thoughtful never put that together. Did wonder about good times bad times riff that goes to major too and now it makes more sense
One of my favorite videos by you so far, both for the entertainment value and the instruction. Great break down of where the some of Jimmy's sonic magic lies.
And I thought your riffs in fact did sound very Zeppelin like! I had no trouble imagining Jimmy playing the same thing.
To you and your Les Paul, stay gold and rock on \m/
You finally opened my eyes after improvising!!
My art teacher made a throw-away comment that stuck with me. He said, "Isn't it great to watch a craftsman at work?" My art teacher was a cool guy, by the way. He taped the Top 40 from the radio on Sunday evenings and brought it to school for the kids to listen to in his art class on Monday mornings. Anyway, these videos bring that comment to mind. A pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work. I hope your Never-lost video breaks the million views soon - you deserve it!
Really cool lesson, & I really like your original take at the end, no need to feel embarrassed, I liked it! It reminded me of a lot of '70's based riff Rock I grew up on because I started play guitar at 11 yrs old in 1974, loved it so much that I never stopped playing & was Blessed enough to make living as a gigging/road show(touring, self funded)musician! Thanks for all you do, you ROCK!!! Stay safe my friend, Rock On & God Bless!!!
This lesson is pure gold....so simple...yet so much to be learned from it.
Coolest dad in town!! You da man! Grew up in the sixties and seventies
I really love your videos. You make guitar education totally accessible, friendly and straightforward. You'd be a great friend to have. Thanks for all you do.
Man ,your points on my list just went sky rocket.Great band.Why I was born too late.And you have a Gibson,like Page.Bonzo,what a drummer-played in a different-jazzy way.(not on beat and w/ the lead guitar and not the bass,like Rolling Stones and bands from that era).Love them and their music.AWESOME band and thx to show some riffs of one of the better guitarist in rock history.His playing is build on blues,just not the standard 12 bar,more in a rock way.
You're describing the major blues scale. John Paul Jones and Page also used it to write "Black Dog." Cheers.
Dude - don’t know how I haven’t found you until today .... but glad I did - thank you !!!
Welcome Dude! Hope you enjoy!
Hey bro thx for the lesson. The Nobodys Fault riff, when I play it I bend up instead of sliding wherever possible to give it maximum blues attitude, also good for precision bending technique and wicked vibrato. I saw Page playing it and he was sliding but its Jimmy Page.
Since you brought it up, Should do a lesson on the solo Whole lotta love. One of my fav solos of all time. Ive been playing 40 years and still one of my favs. Love the squishy half cocked wah wah sound. Its minor pent as well.
John Paul Jones does that opening Nobody's fault riff on electric slide, sounds really cool w an effect. Yeah, guitar boogie album w beck page and Clapton playing electric blues is a fundamental record in understanding where they came from, headed ya know out on tangents from there
Oh so Good! It's great having your help to APPLY your lessons to the music we have lived on all these years!!!
This video was very insightful and helpful for me as a guitarist, thank you
Great explanation!! a lot of music theory but in a very didactic way, easy to get it!!! and using Led Zeppelin Songs!!! a master lesson!!! THxUU
You are my most favorite guitar teacher I've ever had!! You're method is smooth and with a ton of fun feel!!!! Thank you!!!! 😅👍☯️🎸☮️🎶🎶🎶
Can't say I understand everything but I get what you're saying. Really appreciate your understanding of the guitar and music. Great video!
I'm really liking your approach to explaining the structure of these great songs. Some of the explanation is challenging, but that's how I can tell I'm learning something. Thanks for making these vids.
Never heard anybody break down Page's style quite as good as this, Stitch.
Thank you Stich! Great lesson as always. You rock!
All these jimmy Page lessons that you do, should be called "The Genius of Jimmy Page " Great lessons!!
Ian, this is an awesome lesson. I appreciate all the explaining you do. Thanks for the video.
hey stitch...i.play by ear and can do all these songs, but trying to learn what is going on is being accomplished, albeit slowly, thanks mainly to your videos......you are an awesome instructor!
Getting back into guitar after 15 year hiatus. Some of this went over my head as never properly learned scales first time round (doing so this time) but really enjoyable to watch. Great content
Humbly done, with a heart for some of music's most unforgettable riffs. Your video has such a comfortable vibe going on. Thanks for the great guitar lesson that shows how simple things really are when you comprehend them.
THANK YOU....I love LedZep with all my heart and the reason i started playing guitar
Awesome! This and the Blues videos helped me break open my understanding of Zepplin. They have been a favorite of mine since I began 25 years ago...well, Jimi also. lol. Thanks for posting the videos! Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks Jake, I’m glad my love for Zeppelin over the years has helped! Jimi has always been an inspiration. Rock on
After so many years and some layoffs from playing, I am finally trying to learn to play lead. I knew it was complex but your blues videos opened a pandora's box of understanding. lol
You are just awesome Stitch I wish you lived across the street from me. I think you are more than awesome
Wow, thank you!
I have never felt the need to comment on any RUclips channel until I came across Sean and Ian..always relaxed, all ways interesting..never missed : )
Well seeing-ahza-a-since you humbled me with a reply...(!) ...I had reached a bit of a sticking point in my playing, could play but could not see the neck opening up. I am also not great at being taught and prefer the auto-didactic (great word) route. Did not expect RUclips to help but...you and Sean changed all that. Now the only drawback is that I probably spend more time tuning into your (and Sean's) videos than playing ! Also love the new 'lesson with Elliot', i tuned into it the other evening whilst preparing food for the family. One suggestion for 'In the mind of...' would be some Stones e.g. Wild Horses, Sway, Sympathy for ..., Brown Sugar. It would also allow catchy tags such as 'Getting Stoned with Stich' and more million plus views! : )
Wow I thought this video was gonna suck. You've cleared up a lot thanks.
Holy shit you explained in 6 min what I've been trying to understand for the last year, nice job I guess I've been taking the wrong approach thank you for such a simple explanation
It's really cool to see riffs I've been playing for years broken down this way...thanks!
That added sixth is the relative minor..... switching between A blues and F# blues scales on an A blues gives the same effect, adding the sixth and the Major third of the original key. (This trick allowed me to avoid learning any scale shape other than a blues scale, yet still add a bit of spice.)
The introduction of the major third to blues was inevitable after it became electrified and overdriven/distorted. The major third is a prominent component of the overdriven timbre. So even when you're not playing the major thirds (and major sixths and sevenths), you are playing them.
Awesome. This reminds me of the Rolling Stones open G tuning "trick" in that everything you do within the formula reminds you of the band.
You are a good teacher. Nice relaxed approach, positive vibe and good explanations. THANK YOU!
Nice video, Ian. Even your minor mistakes are engaging! Never miss a Stich video
Very great lesson / explanation, it's great to see someone have as much fun doing a vidio as I am watching , thanks ,,,subscribed
It's neat how the minor and major third scale degrees of the pentatonic are brought together, creating a contrast. Whenever I'm working these out on violin I aim for somewhere in between, which simplifies things but then I lose this subtlety. I also "average out" the major sixth with minor seventh, as well as the perfect fourth with the sharp fourth.
The scale I usually end up with is like D - a very flat F-sharp (flatter than a 5/4 above D) - a very sharp G-natural - A - a very flat C-natural
I don't think I'll stick to this scale forever, because so much of the richness of blues and rock occurs in the tension between these "natural" intervals and their execution in a chromatic (Western 12-tone) system, where you can repeat the same intervals based on other scale degrees, which would be impossible in my "natural" scale.
But still, it's good to return to this natural 5-note starting point once in a while
just when my riffing was getting a tad stale you pop out another inspiring lesson. cheerz m8 !!
I'm locking that tip away minor scale with a major third. thanks Stitch!
Another Great vid, Ian. You explain things in a very relaxed manner. Very cool to watch. You definitely know what you're talking about.
-Ricky, from Whole Foods.
Excellent. I love your passion for playing. I'm still learning how to solo and you have helped a lot!
Great great lesson again thanks. So many lessons tell you what you can add in, like you said 'outside the box' but I've always wondered when why and how. Learning from riffs like this is great and showing us how you would then create riffs is even better!
I'm through your master class at the moment. Worth the purchase I'd say to anyone considering it.
Thanks for this lesson! I watched it a couple times now, and feel like it really helped me understand intervals. I've been really stuck for awhile (not really able to apply that knowledge).
Loved it dude!!! Lucky to have you as my teacher look forward to my lessons every week!!!
Thank you for this vid. Just stumbled across it. you have a simple way of explaining things and your camera work to be able to see what you are fretting is spot on. you have a new subscriber! thanks again.
Another thing he likes to do (both riffing and soloing) is bending from the 3rd fret to the 5th on the low E when playing in A. That and ending on the last note of the Pentatonic instead of the root. Those are his main riffing techniques for his electric style.
PS: your first riff was very similar to the girl I love got long black wavy hair
Great work, thank you again for taking the time to do such straight forward lessons.
Man, where have you been all these years!!! Excellent stuff........Led Zeppelin and Mr Page are also the reason I started when I was 11.......more please.....Page phrasing?
I like the way you explain things. It's easy to understand.
Keep it up Stich, great approach to carry the music forward. As it should be!
Ian !!, ( can i call you Ian ?) another awesome lesson !! You make this fun man !! and I"m learning !! A LOT !!
Love everything about your Led Zeppelin videos and you definitely need to do way more in the future!
Bring it on Home -- my fave major 3rd riff(s).
Thank you! Amazingly informative . your style ROCKS
When I 1st heard L/Zep 1. I couldn't understand How the sound was made,The ground shook,I was young But Liked what I was Hearing.
Ian, I must ask you your impression of the rare LZ Song “ 10 Ribs & All/Carrot Pod Pod, Page’s playing. Thank you 🙏Rick
Great lesson. Born teacher you are, Stich. Amazing.
Man I love this channel
I couldn't add a comment to your last streaming video, so I thought I'd add it here. Ten Years Gone is also my favorite Zeppelin song so I though you should know that you have impeccable taste. Keep up the good videos.
Great explanations! Thanks.
Awesome man. You're doing a lot of good in this world.
yo, i appreciate the videos. new to the channel, not the guitar, been playing for over a decade, but i appreciate your analytical and detail oriented style. just wish i had more time to watch your videos haha. thanks again, keep it up.
