I've long wanted a Led Zeppelin archivalist. I would love to see Jimmy Page sit down and teach us how to play every song and tell us some pithy story about how the song came about and maybe even wander off into a one hour tangent about all kinds of unrelated stuff. Since that's probably not going to happen, I'm going to tune in to anything you do regarding Led Zeppelin, Carl. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into these videos.

Love your breakdown of a classic song. One of the things that separated Jimmy Page from his peers was the musical effort put into each part of a song and the multiple flavors and texture he would add to each rendering. Jimmy never relied on simple power chords to advance a song...his offerings were always a blend of various themes, progressions, and riffs, a style completely unheard of at the time and even today. I've commented before and will say again, Page is a master unmatched.

There's a classic case of enharmonic equivalents- thinking of it as Eb makes it super-weird given we are in E but when you analyze it as D#, again the 3rd of a B or B7 then it's just the leading tone!

As far as slower tempo/complexity I think any of his finger style acoustic work can get tricky: going to California, Bron-y-aur...on the electric 10 Years Gone has great complexity in its textures, the expression in I’m Gonna Crawl is hard to duplicate, The Rain Song is quite an invention. I find Page actually one of the more difficult guitarists you copy because of his subtle and expressive complexity.

Carl, another great job on this video. I really appreciate your breakdowns of Jimmy Page’s masterpiece songs. However, I must take exception to your interpretation of the final chord. Isn’t it just the same E7#9 as before???? I’ve listen to it five or six times now and My ear tells me it is.

another great breakdown! Could you please do a video about your basic Page tone? Live you use your Marshall head, but on these videos, you're using the Twin Reverb. I'd love to see your pedal/amp settings! thanks, Carl!

Thanks! I have an episode on my channel about my pedal board and Page’s tone. Please subscribe and take a look at my back catalog! Let me know how you like some of the other episodes!

Bonham's exquisite drum work here is so underrated and really really some of his best ever! Problem is Jones just steals the show with the perfect bass sound, playing and jamming! And yes Page is totally amazing as is Plant!

My dude. This man actually used “verboten”. I’ll never forget being four and hearing whole lotta love and I thought a witch was in the van as it panned. You’d have dug my pop haha. Keep killin it Mr Carl.

Ok well, I have never played guitar. I can barely write my name legibly. I have many hours laying in front of our living room stereo. I loved that song and still do. I was 14 yrs old. Huge amount of confidence after listening to it. Serious goose bumps. After listening would walk outside and say, Erica do you want to go out with me? No Ken not interested. Okay it was worth a try.Great music.

One of the best ever. Told lots of big lies with confidence after listening. Hey Jim how is your buzz? Yeah I feel good listening to Zep . I have had 6 beers and not an oregano cigarette. best buzz ever. You too cool.

These are great. But I'd like to hear more on the more obscure pieces from the later years. Presence, ITTOD, Coda. Hidden gems that nobody cares to analyse.

I think that would be cool too!! Thanks for the encouragement!!
