is playing is the most lyrical of anyone in Rock. My absolute favorite guitarist ever. People talk about his technique being weak or sloppy, but NO ONE plays a line with the touch and feeling that he does. NO ONE can impart the aggressive, powerful feeling of Heartbreaker like him. NO ONE can play a song like rain song at 100 decibels live with the delicacy of Jimmie. And no one writes the melodic lines that will be playing 100 years from now like Jimmy. Almost everysong he did was a masterpiece on so many levels.

[@jayall00]

Agreed, what people think is him playing sloppy is usually intentional and actually very technical. I think there should be a new word to describe it. His playing style is in the same light as the Bonham or Purdy shuffle. It's not perfectly in sync, and that's WHY it sounds so good. It sounds human and organic, and (just imo) that's something today's music lacks. So many people just don't get it, but that to me is at the very essence of the blues and led zeppelin's playing. It's almost like an intended drunkenness. It's like Robert Plant when he sings Dancing Days. His vocals are sung at a lower pitch than they should be, and it has the adverse effect. It brings the song to life, and he knows it

[@erichharrington1213]

@@jayall00 Well said. I think Page also was willing to push to the edge of his technique, not in pat scales but in free improvisation. It gave it a tension you don't get by playing safe. And Bonham had this amazing technique of laying back in the pocket as good as ANYONE, and then as the tension built in transitions, he would move forward to in time or slightly ahead to create a sense of urgency or climax, and then he would release back into that amazing behind the beat pocket. He was the best drummer ever, and for things the vast majority of people, even musicians don't understand, but they FEEL it. And Page was the same. The paying in the middle of the movie "Song remains the same" starting with "No Quarter" was unmatched in my experience for a live performance. Even my classical pianist friend when he watched it with me said it was virtuosity of a level he had never seen in rock players..

Also, the lead break is so restrained. Like the lead break by George Harrison on Something, it's a lead break you can sing with your voice. And when you do that's when you realise how musical it is.

I think 'light and shade' is like a personal mantra to Jimmy if I understand it right. It's not just about the musical dynamics in LZ's music, it manifests itself in so many different ways. The interest in any music lies in the contrast, and light vs shade is a great perspective on that

[@coobird1ify]

Tedmund13 ,,,,,,, absolutely right ,,",,Light and Shade " is a term used in painting or sculpture(other art forms as well) . Jimmy was brilliant in using that term to describe compostions in music. It's referring to contrast. Loud against quiet, fast against slow ,,hard again soft. ( light and shadow ) . Think of those as musical notes. One accentuates the other to create variety, ,, hence creating interrest and impact. You can recognise it easily in " Ramble On". Jimmy is a master at creating this effect in his compositions. IMHO

My buddy passed away suddenly from a heart attack a number of years ago, it devastated me. I never got to say goodbye, and we really loved each other. I miss him a lot! This makes me think about him, and it makes me feel good that we shared this together. There are people that try to convince you that this is fake! It's a tribute band doing an impression of Zeppelin. If you are a true student of Zeppelin, you know it's them. I know these were stolen from Page a number of years ago. So yes, it's Zeppelin! Raw and real!

@@cameron3525 A big Amen from me too brothers in rock/blues...It's priceless to hear how the timeless masterpieces of pure music is being born especially from The Master❤️❤️❤️

He's creating the song here. This is gold

Ten Years Gone is one of my favourite LZ songs. The scene when it appears in Almost Famous is amazing.

[@ingongo25]

I'm doing my homework now, and this is as good as the Lo-Fi beats to concentrate

[@williampagdon4822]

The Swirl Sound when the Tape is Stopped reminds me of the many Bands that played in the Basement Studio of my boyhood home. What a joy it is to listen to songs stripped down, just like when those many Bands would be learning songs. Phenomenal!

[@Bioniking]

I always heard this song was originally intended to be an instrumental. I never really understood from the album version. But after hearing this demo, it all makes sense. Such a beautiful song

[@blakeyonthebuses]

Physical Graffiti blows all other rock bands away

[@RickWright66]

Has always been my all time favorite song since I heard it in high school in the early 80's. Now this is music! Lol. Can't even believe it, what a great find!

[@bigbopper6434]

Love listening to this. When Jimmy starts the electric at 2:03, pure magic. And something about the melody beginning at 4:19, takes me to another place. Could listen to this noodling for days!!!

[@jasonrobinson5854]

Best band there ever was, period! Their body of work was all over the map. True song craft. Thanks for the post indeed!

[@TheDarDar1]

That solo conjures chills like no other song. It digs up memories of an unexplainable emotional time.

[@sandrasheppard3106]

From 2:00, thank you Jimmy Page. Extraordinary. You probably saved some lives with that. So much love....

[@baxterhebert]

What’s the song name of that riff

[@Nick-xh6of]

THIS IS GOLD. One of the best, and rhythmically put together songs ever. You know Jimi laid this down before vocals were put down. Absolutely lovely.

[@Echoback.]

Beautiful demos of a beautiful song. I love how he took this idea and made it arguably one of the best Led Zeppelin songs.

[@kkbaby30]

Dude was a sessions player for years before all the fame. Earned every bit of his rock god status!

[@danielswierczynski2001]

This is such amazing guitar work. He strikes an A7 and we are instantly mezmorized. No one else can or hs done this (maybe Pete Townshend.) This song is simplicity and meaning at it's most reduced and finest. Thanks for posting the progression of this epic, gentle, simply beautiful masterpiece.

[@octoowen1234]

This is just simply the result of how many hours he put into mastering his instrument. He played so much that it would be impossible for him not to become this skilled. He is number 1.

[@CNCTEMATIC]

Who else was putting these sorts of music together - rock, folk, eastern modes, and more - in the late 60s? Such a unique sensibility, Mr Page, and yet he tapped into something universal. Genius.

[@gdawgs101]

CNCTEMATIC I think you'll very much enjoy RUSH.

[@garymorgan3314]

Jeff Beck was; he still is....

[@ijamsum]

Jeff Beck is good and having fun , he just likes single notes to talk . No content or vibe rhythm is in his music now , blues stuff mostly !

[@garymorgan3314]

Very much his own sort of Blues it is too, loads of whammy bar and note being and that tone of his, He's so good in part because he is having fun. He's the only rocker guitarists I can think of who's still pushing the envelope. Pity he gigs mainly abroad, an irony since he lives only 20 odd miles from me yet hasn't toured his homeland for a couple of years....

[@bluebassett2]

I guess you haven't been listening to any of Jeff's performances over the past 10 years. He's still cranking out very original stuff, blazing trails likes always. IMO

[@bandfromtheband9445]

First off, writing the entire bridge for 10 Years Gone!! I can honestly say that this song has been in love with me from the first time I heard it, in High School, 1977 or '78. I saw Led Zeppelin in Cincinnati, Ohio at the Riverfront Coliseum, April 21st, 1977. (I think that's accurate). first come, first served seating. My girlfriend and I had a straight-on view of the stage at the very back of Riverfront Coliseum. We had a wide-angle view, and the huge lighting trusses and the sound was perfectly Stereo. At exactly 8:00 pm that evening, the lights went out! No announcements. Jimmy Page started the chords for "The Song Remains The Same" and comes dancing out on stage right. Robert Plant came dancing out of stage left, and they met in the middle of the stage, THAT was when the song exploded! Everyone went banana's!!! They played for 2 and a half hours! Both nights. (The next night, the 20th, as well). The laser effects that they used back then were still new, pretty spectacular but a pain in the ass to mainstain!. Their stage and lighting trusses were enormous for 1977!!! 2 years later in December of 1979, I faced death right in front of my face at the same venue, only this time to see The Who, at Riverfront Coliseum, Downtown Cincinnati.

[@catguy96]

Instead of worrying about my Facebook and Instagram, I should focus on making music with my guitar, plus it puts me in a great mood lol. This is one of the reasons Jimmy is is my favourite artist. I wish I could’ve seen a Led Zeppelin practice session and witness magic being created.

[@Nighthawk5210]

Those chords are magical. Jimmy Page is just incredible. I listen to this as much as I do the actual finished, brilliant song.

[@dongilmore7662]

It's super cool to hear the evolution of the song from its earliest organic stage, and then Jimmy adding more texture, color, and shade to it.

[@martinwhite9691]

The song makes me think back when l was young. Makes me think about the girls that l spent time with in a nostalgic sort of way. Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin still blow me away after nearly 50 years.

[@dbayjr]

We were all sooo young back then . It's an incredible body of music in only about 10 years.

[@facelessjr7240]

Freakin genius and his music out of this world so unique...... What a musician, what a guy...

[@parrisgjerde9212]

Exactly where do ideas like this come from? Just a beautiful, beautiful song! Other bands have produced mind blowingly beautiful compositions - Yes Close to the edge for instance. Yet the layering on this song is so phenomenal it’s hard to even articulate how good it is!

[@beatleme2]

To hear something new/old from zeppelin is not an everyday thing, thanks for the upload for others to enjoy

[@martinherts1967]

So relaxing,and the end result is a beautiful song

[@jonthorpe5877]

Despite the fact that this entire 7 minute recording ended up being only the middle 8 of the song lol.

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

That's how the pros do it

[@BobbyGraham85]

The morons who post comments regarding how unpolished this sounds are obviously not musicians and if they are they're very ignorant. A masterpiece like Ten Years Gone doesn't just flow out of even a genius like Jimmy completed and flawless on the first try. WTF is wrong with some people??? Anyway thanks for the post it's awesome to hear Jimmy putting the pieces together of what is one of his most beautiful compositions!!

[@incomemobile8566]

Yeah they do. Real masterpieces are beamed down from the mothership when the recipient artist is in a 'flow state'. Effortlessly.

[@mattsarnecky2552]

Honestly it sounds more beautiful this way than the finished version.

[@Stimpy77777]

It’s not just a Masterpiece; it’s an Orchestral Masterpiece!

[@johnlo1966]

What it is -jealousy. They hate the fact they are not as good will never be as good not as smart not as innovative not as composed not even in the same zip code as page. Haters will always say they copied page wasn’t that good etc when the fact is they are not master musicians themselves. Let someone who negatively comments post something better please post your originals. And please show us your doctrine in music at the highest level.

[@carlom.3737]

I find this to be a fantastic insight into Jimmy’s creative process

[@DarrinKobetich]

It's wonderful hearing these songs develop into the masterpieces they became.

[@ChrisCarpenter-d5e]

One of my all time favorite Zep songs.

[@finckel2682]

I love his image playing the Strat, and I loved the sound too.

[@BobbyBecker-t9j]

JIMMY PAGE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER,GREAT GUITARIST WILL ALWAYS BE HEARD AND WILL ALWAYS SHOW THEIR TALENT SO OTHERS CAN LEARN FROM THEM 🎸🎶✌️😎BOB!

[@bluestate69]

Page once said he loved Joni Mitchell, because her music made him cry. Listening to this demo, especially at the beginning, I can hear a little Joni Mitchell in there. Yes, Page took liberties with some artist's music, but his genius was in his ability to capture different styles of music, and incorporate it into his own. Bowie did the same thing.

[@chadfkennedy]

The solo and bridge part of this song is my favorite moment in Led Zeppelin's discography.

[@OhMeOhMy77]

In my opinion, there is no doubt about it, that Page is very slick on the electric guitar, but he is a true genius when it comes to beautiful acoustic numbers!

[@LotusHart01]

Page and Mayer. My two favorite guitarists of all time. They both inspire me and touched my soul with their music.
