GREATEST blues rock song of all time? Led Zeppelin’s “Since I’ve Been Loving You” [Guitar Lesson]

[@garanceadrosehn9691]

I'd be happy to have a similar breakdown for _"Tea for One"_ off "Presence", which I think is often skipped over because it's in a similar vein as _"Since I've Been Loving You",_ but I think it's an excellent song.

[@1111MJR]

I prefer Tea For One...I find Since I’ve Been Loving You a bit histrionic.

[@JayEastward]

I'm in the same camp. I feel like Tea for One is the grown-up, bruised and healed, mature version of SIBLY.

[@seydutz975]

I can't decide between these two both brilliant. and try hard to play the solos.

[@jennifers6055]

I prefer TFO honestly. The dynamics on the guitar solo is unbelievable. He's whispering so softly that you have to really pay attention. ❤️

[@grantshenton7079]

Written in the same key and Page never played exactly the same solo twice live ,he interchanged phrases between the two songs a lot .

[@michaelstrauss3769]

In my mind, maybe the finest LZ song. All 4 members are wonderful and essential. What a collaboration.

[@Saul_HUDSON]

Man, it was not a KZbin video, it was a Masterclass !!! Huge ! Thanks !

[@neilfriedman]

It is one of the greatest songs ever, and definitely the best song Led Zep ever recorded. They never sounded better than on Since I've Been Loving You.

[@zososhep]

To answer your question: YES! Yes this is the greatest blues rock song EVER! I have been saying this for a very long time! No other blues song by a rock band comes close-like you said, it is in another stratosphere!!

[@dizai]

I couldn't agree more

[@haydenwalton2766]

it was 1970 - where in the hell did that solo come from ?? it's like it just dropped from another dimension

[@johnsample5628]

When they are playing this in TSRTS film, pay attention during the solo, when the big balloon is shown bouncing around the audience. The lick Page plays is one my all-time favorite blues lick. It just DRIPS off the guitar like honey.

Yes I love that bit too.

I already agree and have been saying this is the rockinist blues song of all time. Its also one of my top 3 favorite Zep songs ever. Never get tired of hearing it.

[@spnsoccer]

Another great analysis, this is my all time very favorite Zep song, and agree that it is perhaps Page's best studio solo ever! The only comment is that the importance of Bonham's fills in the final part of the song is understated. Thanks again.

[@CarlBaldassarreMusic]

Agreed!!

[@tazador793]

Carl is a magician. He has worked so hard to understand the secret of Led Zep. This is so incredible. As many of you, the song that this in your brain forever once you hear it from the first time.

[@joetrava3808]

Thanks for sharing my all time favorite band with us. You are a great teacher. you're motivating me to pick up the guitar again and work on the solos. You're playing is just great also you are up there with the eternal genius of Page and his mind blowing music craftmanship it is in fact the greatest blues song of all time it represents the best progresive blues rock.

[@madisongraham9307]

Wonderful analysis. Hats off to Carl! I purchased the LP the day it was released- I was a senior in high school. Still have and play it often- just played the Page reissued version on my iPhone through my HiFi system… times change, but some things are classic. Really enjoy your LZ videos. Peace.

Here's an interesting recent interview with Terry Manning who speaks about engineering this tune: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o56WXoSvpr-riLc

[@CarlBaldassarreMusic]

Watching now!! Thank you!

[@OtterCreek]

One of the things that has always struck me about this song is how up front the drums are, and Plant is almost buried in the mix at times. I still am looking forward to a breakdown of No Quarter. Thanks Carl!

[@mindsigh4]

to me Plant sounds his best when he gets buried, swamped by the tide, he pushes through & his voice is distorted thru the maelstrom like thru some kind of feral guitar stomp box...the voice as another instrument

[@saintbrando]

The Song Remains The Same Version still sends shivers down my spine. Squeaky Kick Pedal Pagey could never fix. Amazing video Carl!

[@the_rover1]

haha, yeah. once you notice the squeaking sounds, you can never unhear that again. especially in the beginning seconds of the song. like the screaming sounds of bonham in 'whole lotta love'. they'll always stick out and catch my attention.

Hey Carl,been checking your stuff for a while and it seems like you really knows your stuff.I just want to add that even though i'm a huge zeppelin fan,in my opinion Rory gallagher's 'What in the world' is just as good or almost to zeppelin since ive been loving you.(Just my opinion)

[@georgamann3743]

I'm in a quite ... "emotional" state of mind right now (in a good way) - yes, it's like you said in one of your earlier videos: the difference between hearing a song and listening to a song. I just noticed that for over 30 years now, I wasn't *listening* to "Since I've been" enough (I *heard* it on an almost daily basis). Well, that changed (the "not-listening"-part). Thank you for your giving me more and more insights, I very, very much appreciate it. Oh, and keep your smile and very positive mood in your videos, your vibes are just so great! :)

[@CarlBaldassarreMusic]

Thank you Georg! I really appreciate your encouragement!

[@southjerseyjim5049]

This song, long one of my favorites, has been bringing me to tears for decades. I very much appreciate Mr. Baldasarre’s references to classical music as I’ve often thought of this as piece as having the emotive power of such monumental works as Durufle’s Ubi Caritas, Mozart’s Dies Irae, Stanford’s Beati Quorum Via, and Bach’s Crucifixus. It’s just that powerful. I think it transcends the genre.

[@CarlBaldassarreMusic]

Thank you!!

[@joshuabeason7716]

This best iteration of this song has to be form MSG 1973. Just fantastic soloing and vocals. Better than studio or any version

This composition is an absolute masterpiece, as was your analysis and explanation and superb feel you gave whilst playing. Everybody on Earth should listen to this song, even if only once in their lifetime. My father was a jazz musician and said to me the only music i like, that you play [on vinyl] is Queen and that slow blues one by Led Zeppelin! That to me, summed up which was the best track, to a seasoned musician's ears. I wish my father was here to watch you break down this piece, he would have loved it. Sorry for the long comment, very emotional song for me, which to this day, i cannot listen to it all the way through. I'm 57 and it still rips my heart out. Thankyou.

Awesome Carl. Thanks for breaking this down for us. I'd love to see you break down "Out on the tiles" from III if you haven't already. Very under-rated in my opinion and a rare rhythm based song from Page.

The actual crime is that the official live version of this song was essentially buried on the videocassette/DVD until the 2007 re-release of the album.

How about analysing a song Led Zep actually wrote rather than ripped off?

[@xipo199]

My favorite song of all time. I love the solo and am always amazed that guys so young could come up with such beauty. At the end of the live version on TSRTS Robert says “Jimmy Page, guitar”. I think this is because even he was like “Damn! That was impressive guitar playing”. This was a great breakdown.

Then, that was the one you picked. Well done sir, well done. By the way, I’m a drummer, so i look at this song with a focus on Bonham.

Hi Carl. As usual, this was a wonderful synopsis on this incredible blues number. In addition to the beautiful guitar playing here - it’s Jones’s Hammond organ foot pedal work that I find equally as impressive. At bars 34 & 35 especially during the pre and main choruses there. It’s been a challenge for me to replicate this on electric bass but it can eventually be done. I’m not any sort of advanced music student by any means. Jones certainly was their secret weapon. This is a subject that’s been widely known for years. Thanks Carl.

[@TheCelticlion]

Very very interesting. I was once asked to write an article for a mental health newsletter about 10 years ago. I'm an engineer not a author, but when it was published it just stopped everyone who read it. Even some with degrees considered it probably the finest piece of English literature ever. A couple of months ago I was listening to Since I was Loving You, there was a familiarity to it. I realised my piece had a almost identical 'format' to Since I've Been Loving You. I have spent 2 days days deconstructing both works. I'll type it up as a finished piece over winter. I have found this video absolutely fascinating as I can identify with the content coming from a different perspective. Eg where you talk of an inversion of a chord, I deliberately changed the order of words so even though they still make sense literally they give a different and unique feel. I might even make a KZbin video that will compliment yours. How the lyrics and overall format work with the chords etc.

Great!!! You are doing very good! This Solo is one of the most intense Blues-Solos of all time! Jimmy Pages is much more than a standard Rock-musician; And your explanations are the proof for this. If one takes the time to study your explanations one feels like a student of music-theory and guitar-practise! That I like very much because I was so lucky to have once a good music-teacher who caused me to go in all this details of music-theory. So therefore you give very deep insights in music-theory which inspire me a lot to remember the time , when I was a band-leader myself (1977 to 1989). We tried to play some songs of LZ which were: - Down by the seaside - Bron yr aur (Physical Grafity) - Stairway to heaven - Moby Dick Of course I was not able to play the solos of these songs very accurate. I would have been more than happy if I had your explanations then but I had to try it by hearing and playing. Yes therefore I am a little sad because now I found your channel which is for sure the most founded music-channel especially because you are doing Led Zeppelin-Songs in an amazing good standard!!! Thank You Carl for your great videos!

[@ZigbertD]

Of course this is a mammoth, epic blues rock song, one of the greatest ever, but another overlooked contender is ZZ Top's "Blue Jean Blues". It's perhaps more like straight blues, but not quite, I'd still call it blues rock. I see a lot of people covering this one on KZbin/Instagram, but never anyone doing "Blue Jean Blues", probably because on the surface it's simpler and doesn't impress with incredible chops as much. But the *feel* of that one is what it's all about. Don't get me wrong, this one is great and full of real soul too, I just think it's good to remember that you can do so much with very little also, it's just about the feel and the soul being there. And of course when you think of Page this is a defining classic that comes to mind, but don't sleep on John Paul Jones' killin' soulful support on the B3.

Another excellent analysis Carl! Certainly in my top 5 of all Zeppelin songs. While Zeppelin was not "radio-friendly" (though they were on AOR stations), they did sell millions of albums world-wide. Save for Joe Bonamassa in today's world, there is no blues/rock artists selling those kind of numbers, which to me is incredibly sad. That's not say there isn't excellent blues musicians today. Greg Koch, Matt Schofield, Kirk Fletcher, just to name a few, but they're not on the scale of Bonamassa, let alone Zeppelin.

[@hipercandombe_]

In Argentina, contemporary with Led Zeppelin, there was a band called "Pescado Rabioso" whose sound is compared to them, there is sure to be a lot of influence. For this particular song, on their second studio album, their leader Luis Alberto Spinetta composed a work called "Como el viento voy a ver" which shares many characteristics. I recommend this band and many more of Spinetta, a reference artist of Argentine rock.
