Feckin hell at the end I thought it was going to burst into Communication Breakdown!loved it!!

[@DougShanahanMusic]

Thanks.

[@mariopalos9238]

lol So did I!

[@romyarmada2521]

Try Kashmir.

[@mikevasquez8270]

Man! I'll bet that song was REALLY hard to learn. You make it look easy. That would take me probably a good year to learn. And STILL not play it as good as you nailed it. Kudos! Definitely the best cover of this song I've ever listened to. Cool video. 😎

[@DougShanahanMusic]

Thank you.

[@mcfcguvnors]

if you REALLY want it youll have a kernel within a week m8 - was te same for me with Bron y Aur took me weeks to nail the harmonic picks cos od never done em b4 Diary of a madman was my next one thats hard work but pays off soon as you get you " shapes" so to speak cos much of that was alien to me .Youll get there with practice

[@aminahmed2220]

Absolutely fantastic cover have a wonderful day ❤😊

[@DougShanahanMusic]

Thanks

[@vincentlussier8264]

Wow! I was waiting for Communication Breakdown!

[@Hoaxer51]

Haha, In my head I kept hearing the start of Communication Breakdown!

[@WhiteNacho]

I love this song and have listened to it by many different guitarist on KZbin including Bert's but Doug knocks it out of the park.

[@DougShanahanMusic]

@@WhiteNacho thanks

[@Cars-Guitars-Music]

Superb rendition 👍🎵😎

[@DougShanahanMusic]

Thanks

[@srguptapc]

Awesome!.. Jimmy Page called this tining to the sitar. Please post variations...

[@freebornjohn6876]

Check out Bert Jansch, Blackwaterside (1966) here on youtube. The man who created the original arrangement.

[@DougShanahanMusic]

Thanks. Yeah, I mention him in the description of this video.

[@cd2875]

Well done!! Outstanding.

[@DougShanahanMusic]

I'm a bit late, but thank you.

[@williammatneyii3218]

I love that song. Well played.. I found something neat with Stairway to heaven. Up the scale with config of c chord. The normal played version of the first chord config is an off chord which is also the end chord that sounds like the end chord of the theme from the original James Bond score.

[@garyschneider]

Great job!

Wonderful! Also could you play "the Rain Song", please......?

[@freespiritsguitar2871]

Well played!

[@donnajigli4534]

Where do you live? I love your playing. Can you come to Geneva and make me guitar lesson?

[@jerrys5102]

Doug, if you don't go, I'm going to :-)

..nice job ... beautiful J200 ..I'm assuming?

[@DougShanahanMusic]

Thanks. It's actually a Guild F-50 jumbo.

[@GeorgeF.106]

Whole lotta love fans would say “black mountain what?”

[@philmartin7474]

Wow this guitar sounds amazing, was the guitar also amplified? It sounds so much more than just an acoustic on its own running through a video camera mic, it sounds amazing👍💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@DougShanahanMusic]

Thanks. It wasn't amplified. I played it into a canon cam corder at the time. I believe I edited it using Pinnacle software that I used to use. There were some tools in there to add effects like EQ, reverb and I remember turning some dials until it sounded the way it does.

[@philmartin7474]

@@DougShanahanMusic Wow, it sounds so great, such jangle and presence. What brand strings and gauge? Brass, Bronze?

[@DougShanahanMusic]

@Phil Martin I used Martin strings. Phosphor bronze light/medium. It's a gauge they have between light and medium. Nice full sound but not as hard on the bridge as mediums.

[@philmartin7474]

@@DougShanahanMusic Thanks for sharing Doug, i will someday try to afford this guitar, it sounds great, thanks for all the info, and i will try that string set next time i stop in the music store👍🎸

[@popopnits]

Nice one but no solo? (It’s freaking impossible and he overdubbed it but I still always attempt it haha)

[@DougShanahanMusic]

Thanks. Yeah, I thought about adding it with an overdub but never did.

[@paulagid5986]

Fantastic! Are you dadgad flat?

[@coolmacatrain9434]

Not matter how I try (and I've been listening and playing this for over 30 years) I just can't help but hear the main riff as starting on the "and" of 4 rather than the "One" of one! It is damn frustrating ...I wish someone would ask Jimmy to explain the timing of this piece

[@michaelball7488]

TIMING IS WHAT MAKES THIS SONG HARD.....

[@coolmacatrain9434]

No, it's quite easy to play .. the problem is nobody seems to be able to agree on which beat the tune starts. I have several transcriptions from various Led Zeppelin books and from Guitar magazines and not one of them starts on the same beat. I would just love to hear Jimmy clear it up once and for all.@@michaelball7488

[@richard3716]

what tuning?

[@DougShanahanMusic]

DADGAD

[@alanhusband9422]

This man has a bit of the Jimmy in him.

[@wbertie2604]

Or Bert. It's a cover of a very faithful cover by Page (just lacking the lyrics).

[@ManiacRacing]

Like number 667. I saved you from De Debbil!

[@RoyBattyLives]

Nice job, well done. I would give a mention to Bert as it’s his song. Jimmy never did

[@DougShanahanMusic]

Thanks. Yeah, I think I mentioned Bert somewhere in the description. Definitely his.

[@knottsscary]

@@DougShanahanMusic It's actually not his song either, look up Davey Graham. He originally played it in 63

[@thesightings4403]

Is it played by dadgad tune? Or something else

[@DougShanahanMusic]

UFO sightings 2015 Yes. It's DADGAD.

[@mauriziomauro922]

it is not like the original, a part is missing or omitted...

[@kristofferjonsson7584]

You should change the title. This is Bert Janch song/composition not Jimmy Page and Bert should get all the credit for it.

[@pyropulseIXXI]

This is a Jimmu page version. Cry more

[@hywel4605]

jimmy page did not write this: he nicked it,

[@ayhamshaheed7740]

Hywel 4 it’s a traditional song. He arranged it in his own way. Traditional songs are public domain. There’s no such thing as nicking them.

[@kristofferjonsson7584]

Yes it is, Bert composed this peace, and Jimmy had the audacity to not even mention him and lying about not even knowing who Bert was.

[@hywel4605]

@@ayhamshaheed7740 I met bert in the hat and feather in bath uk. He played it that night, sounded tge same

[@kingrobert1st]

Try tuning your guitar.

[@DougShanahanMusic]

I tried. It worked well. Thanks.

[@ayhamshaheed7740]

Robert Pickacard it’s supposed to be tuned like this 🤦‍♂️

[@brianmcdermott281]

It sounds identical to the original, that was a dumb statement

[@joebot9309]

Its tuned perfectly.
