Like so many songs from Led Zeppelin , this takes you on this journey, the key breaks kind of string you along, hypnotized, then it slings you back into the crushing verses and that driving opening riff. Such a dynamic song - truly great songwriting.

Another excellent breakdown and lesson. Another suggestion (as if you don’t have enough) is Tea For One. That song is quite an undertaking and is a great example of using dynamics while overlaying lead on chords. It’s a long one but at least it’s in standard tuning. I, for one, would really enjoy your take on this challenging song!

You're like my secret weapon that I use to impress my guitar teacher... whenever he thinks there's no good lesson online for him to practice that Zeppelin song. I just calm him down and say, 'Teach... Sped has my back covered and yours'. Keep up the Zepp Lessons dude! My guitar teacher looks like Robert Plant and I I want to continue to knock his socks off with the stuff you've taught me!

Greetings from Rio de Janeiro! And I really like your channel and I'm very grateful for your content, we're both big fans of Led Zeppelin, me from Brazil and you from there. And from now on, I will express myself in my native language, to celebrate this virtual meeting of two perfect soulmates separated by geographical distances: Saudações do Rio de Janeiro! Desde que eu comprei este álbum, que por aqui sempre chamavam de Black Dog Album, ( e devo ressaltar que foi o primeiro álbum que comprei na vida com meu próprio dinheiro aos 14 anos) eu tive vontade de aprender esta canção, Four Sticks. Não tive acesso a este maravilhoso livro sobre o Zeppelin que você tem em mãos, e muito do que aprendi do Zeppelin foi tirando as coisas de ouvido. Mas este álbum foi fundamental na minha formação musical e na escolha de meu instrumento principal: a guitarra. E muito do aprendi de Led Zeppelin, aprendi por meio de seu canal. Obrigado, e continue com o bom trabalho.

The thing I have learned most from your videos about playing Page songs is that the picking hand is rhythmic up-down. I know that sounds like "duh" but it's really important. I've read that he wrote most things on acoustic, and it really shows in this song. Try playing this song with all down-strokes and observe that while the notes are right, the "feel" just isn't right.

Ahaa! Four sticks is not as easy as many think. You need the proper timing ,and to count the number of times the main riff is played. Not as easy(as I deem it) as pie. But you have brought a new feel to it than I played it previously. Well done Sped, on another Zep lesson! Pagey is master!!! I look forward to the next tutorial. You have really got me back to my beginning days where I wanted Zeppelin ravenously!!!!!

Yeah it’s quite tricky. I use lyrics as reference as well, I used to do it live a lot. Rather than counting 8, 10, 12 repeats etc. It’ll probably help you relax into the tune and feel a little less analytical. Vibing off the singer like one of the band. 🙌🏻

Great video. Love this song but had always assumed it was trickier than this, looking forward to learning it. Thank you!

Time signature wise it pulls you around a bit but the main guitar lines aren’t too complicated. Hopefully this helps you get it down. 🔥

Another great one Sped. I’m the one willing to play the G6 over and over for anyone who is willing to be the one who buys the pints. Cheers

I noticed towards the ending of Four Sticks on my Pecko/Duck pressing of IV swells in volume and sounds more aggressive before the fade out than most pressings... the mastering is reminiscent of Bob Ludwig's magical touch applied to Zeppelin II.

Good morning ! Have been tuning in to your channel on my tv and had to let you know how awesome your channel is ! and.. to be able to play a song such as this, not to mention yet all of the others, I found this one so sexy to play the licks.. & its always been a favorite in my Led Zeppelin memory banks ..its So exciting learning any Zeppelin music ! Although I am just skimming the surface here, I just wanted to thank you for the inspiringly fun guidance in learning the tunes.. (really amazing) as a few years ago I stumbled on the Led Zeppelin Complete Lyric & Chord Songbook (put out by Alfred Music Publishing Co) at a local guitar store and I just stood there in the store, pouring into it thinking.. Ohmygosh, I am holding the holy grail of Zeppelin music composition.. now that said, dial that up sitting down learning from a talented enthusiast as yourself, sharing it all ... mind blowing .. sincerely.. Thank YOU !

Morning! Very early morning for me in fact… 00:13 😂 You’re so welcome! Did you buy the book then? Is it working out as a companion along side my lessons? There will probably be some “disagreements” because I do things my own way. But either way I’m glad you’re enjoying the content and learning with me. 🤘🏻😎

Glad you enjoy it! And yeah I love it too, it's broken up beautifully, if you skipped it on for the first time listening you'd never guess it was the same song yet it works so well.

You're so fortunate. I came close to seeing them live. My friend had put in for tix to their Chicago stop on the 1980 autumn US tour. But we know the end of that story. I did see Page/Plant twice though.

Love it Sped. Your lessons and how you incorporate theory tidbits is awesome. Not just learning the song but learning the notes and the why. Ending transition was on point too, just sayin.

Thank you Johnny! Appreciate your feedback as always. It took my ear so I had to drop it in. Also referencing the thirds in there should simplify things if you know them so linking off to that lesson made sense. ✨🙌🏻

This is the one song they never really thought they'd nailed it sound wise in the mixing stage. Probably my favourite track from Four Symbols. Must admit I nicked the chorus pattern for one of my own songs. It's what Jimmy would want hehe.
