Custard Pie - Led Zeppelin | Guitar Lesson

[@keithmmccully5761]

I am a 75 year old Canadian and you are the best ... and I have listen to Zep all my life to this very day great interpretation ... great job !!!

[@12footchain]

Wow, thank you!

[@rdw1803]

Dear Mr McCully,... whilst I do not have the full wisdom of your life journey,.. I do aspire to at some stage to achieve at least a little bit of it,.... I wholeheartedly agree with you,.. look after yourself

Great video! I love Jimmy Page; I hate it when people call him “sloppy” without context. This one song is a JP masterclass of his genius: (1) he has a brilliance for taking cliche blues figures and turning them upside down so they sound new and fresh; (2) his rhythm playing and phrasing is always in the pocket; (3) I think he’s the greatest most creative user of the wah for color and tone; (4) his phrasing is so surprising and interesting, he always picks brilliant notes over his unique chord changes and rhythms - deceptively simple sounding, not flashy - but really subtle and memorable. He has a similar approach in so many solos (e.g., next song on PG, The Rover). Also, Zeppelin were just the best at these mid tempo blues rock numbers that start with a simple motif that somehow expands into an epic. Magic. Thanks man, I’m going to work on this! So much to learn.

[@Guitarplayer724]

No dude, what are you talking about?! Jimmy just used the pentatonic scale for all his solos! Said every clueless Jimmy Page hater 😂😂

[@caravaggio1571]

Always great to see Page

[@fredgibsonabe]

Excellent Lesson! Thanks for diving deep!

[@mikeg2939]

That was awesome, so clear to follow and accurate. Side story as it's new year. About 4 years ago my brother phones and asks 'who's the one musician you'd like to meet?' 'Jimmy Page' I say instantly. Yeah, my brother had just met him at a vegan festival. Jimmy was there with his daughter. My brother was at the 2 Knebworth gigs in 1979 where there were 250k in the crowd, so he told Jimmy this. Jimmy replied, 'ah, I thought I recognised you from somewhere.' The man does stand up too, who knew it.

[@1111MJR]

Brilliant lesson! It's currently 1:30am here in the UK but I know what I am going to be doing when I get up.

[@daveharveys]

Same !

[@jollyvoqar195]

I learned this and thought it had to be more complicated so I'm here. I play this on shred guitar thru a Helix with a metal distortion patch and it sounds amazing. Great riff. Great song.

[@joecool5670]

Now i Sound like Mr. Page now! Thankx man!

[@philrosenthal209]

I have taken this lesson with great happiness! Thank you! BTW - JPJ, on the keyboard was a clavinet. Steveie Wonder made it extremely popular with its gritty sound. All four of these guys played off of each other. I do believe Jimmy was the conduit, catalyst, the MAGUS, lol!

[@paullavallee1631]

Great old tune that I forgot about, one to work on for sure !

[@seniorjuanvaldez]

imho this is the most concise lessons of custard pie I'veseen! I've gotten tons out of this lesson!

[@12footchain]

Thank you so much for that!

[@lanatrzczka]

What jumped out to me the most was the major/minor shifts. Hearing you do it slowly made me realize that Page had been doing this from at least Zeppelin II forward.

[@SteveMavronis]

I love this song with a little Phasor effect.

[@mrcrowleym]

Brilliant Lesson, especially for the solo! I was having a hard time with the tabs for this one. Nice Guitar, btw! I have the exact same one, LP Classic. I call her Ruby.

[@daviddawkins]

Great feel, thank you

[@nakapage]

Great lesson! Thank You!☺

[@-Atmos1]

Great lesson . Thanks 🎸 Just bought myself a Jam Wah Wahcko pedal to make that solo sound right .. Cheers .

[@petestern3639]

Love your lessons. Can’t wait each week!

[@joeurbanowski321]

I LOVE train sounds..!!! Definitely a blues staple.! Thanks for another great lesson man..!❤👍🏼

[@solomonwaigani4512]

Terrific lesson! Thank you. Happy New Year!

[@if6turnedouttobe9]

Great and enjoyable video on one of my favorite Zeppelin songs...I really only need Zeppelin II and Physical Graffiti...The Lemon Song next please...

[@gerryboyd178]

Always loved the sound of that riff on the recording - a real chainsaw sound to it.

[@mikepfeifer3687]

Greetings from Nashville north, Louisville, Ky! Great job brother I look forward to your video every week and you continue to deliver great tunes. I love it when you include small fill in licks and different and nuances in the layers of music. Please keep up the good work. Thank you.

[@shakeyblues5128]

Top Notch 12ft, hope you had a nice Christmas and hope you have Happy New Year ♪♫♪♫♪

[@12footchain]

Thanks, you too!

[@ricksrealpitbbq]

So glad I found your channel. Really appreciate the effort and style of teaching you share with us. Keep it up 👍 And I agree with your comments regarding physical graffiti, it’s always been my favorite. Both albums rock.

[@FMorgigno1]

That was AWESOME!!!!!!

[@12footchain]

Thank you!!

[@Catmandu44]

Thanks!

[@wooferdevlin3571]

I like the tone detail, sounds like the record minus the - might be a Clavier key board. Good work.The G based chord sounds like sus4, but who's counting? Any thing from PG album, yes please. Happy Newer Year!!

[@castleanthrax1833]

Awesome stuff mate. I worked out the song many years ago (it's pretty basic) but I never gave the solo a go, so thanks. ✌️🇦🇺

[@TheLochs]

Cool Les Paul!!

[@Reedc16]

Can you do lesson on worst than Detroit, far post, fat lip, Moonlight in Samosa, like I’ve been gone, and horizontal departure by Robert plant

[@AllenGarberGuitarFun]

Well done!

[@joeybutafuco1845]

I had tickets In hand to Zep In 79 at Chicago stadium. Should've been my first concert ever. Didn't happen obviously

[@FenderTeleDeluxe]

Same experience…’79 tix for Philly. Crushed to this day.

[@arnesaknussemm2427]

Zeppelin never had any US gigs arranged or even planned in 79 . You mean 80?

[@FenderTeleDeluxe]

@@arnesaknussemm2427 Yup, I stand corrected, Arne!

[@joeybutafuco1845]

@@arnesaknussemm2427 you are right. But it was in early 80 you had to enter a lottery for ticket master . I think the tour was supposed to start in November 80

[@marions.120]

I was at their last American concert in Oakland, July of ‘77. Still have my ticket stub!❤ ✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

[@philibowey4809]

Class tune gdgd shout....... can u do a lesson on ( in my time of dying )

[@12footchain]

Yes

[@castleanthrax1833]

Yes, I'd like that too.

[@shawnkilmer3079]

Dunlop- Cry Baby(Wah- wah) pedal; YES!

[@CorbCorbin]

“…G…or a G based, whatever that is.” This is exactly how I describe chords I don’t know. When I payed with a classically trained pianist, I’d often ask her, was that diminished, as a joke. 😂

[@OFLHLGZ28]

God I’d love to accompany you on drums!

[@12footchain]

Live near Nashville?

[@mjp96]

I remember seeing them being interviewed by Letterman. Dave: "Who was the leader of the band?" Zep: pause Then some blah-blah answer from Zep. Are you kidding me?

[@neilnolin823]

Love this channel...

[@alanhowell3646]

You know you can easily adjust a Wha pedal to alter the sweep by just disengaging the teeth inside the unit and re engaging it in a different position?

[@robertkelly1434]

This is a "two-fer". If you can play this, you can also play "Mickey's Monkey" by Mother's Finest. 👍👍👍😏😏😏

[@SonadoCWB]

Maintain the Zep vibe, with another Physical Grafitti underrated classic: Down By The Seaside. The Bridge part, never seems right to me in the attempts that I see on KZbin.

[@kennymurray1558]

What plectrums and string gauge are you using ?

[@12footchain]

Medium picks, ernie ball super slinky 9s

[@petemarshall1567]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but to my ear, the first time the riff is played to open the song is different than all the rest. The notes are the same, but the rhythm is different.

[@12footchain]

Interesting, not sure will give that a listen

[@petemarshall1567]

@@12footchain The easiest way I would describe here would be that the opening riff's first 3 notes (E-F#-G) are played to the rhythm of "1-and-2-and-3-and". Then play the A-G-A to finish the riff. Then for the rest of the song, the rhythm is "1-and-a-2-and-a-3"...and A-G-A. Anyone else hearing this?

[@danvoges]

The best - next the Wonton Song?

[@horowizard]

That "G whatever" is a Gsus7 chord. As an instructor I'm surprised you don't know that. The Harpsichord sound is a Hohner Clavinet, which is also common knowledge. For the solo, Page is putting his Guitar through the Filter of an ARP Synthesizer, probably a 2600 with the Envelope Follower, not a Wah-Wah Pedal.

[@PhotoWyzard]

Guitar tuning? Just a minor piece of information missing ....

[@12footchain]

standard tuning. if I don't call out any adjusted tuning in a lesson you can assume standard tuning.

[@PhotoWyzard]

THANK YOU!! @@12footchain

[@marcbolan1818]

No other group, ‘cept the Stones (Exile) and The Who (Quadrophenia) could pull off a tour de force double album. No others since and that is why music has sucked wind since.

[@normt6226]

What about The White Album and The Wall...?

[@marcbolan1818]

@@normt6226 White Album was '68 and Wall (1979) would qualify I suppose.
