Man, Out on the tiles is such an underrated Zeppelin tune. Out of all the top 10 best Zeppelin riffs or whatever videos, somehow this and The Rover as well don't make it, while this is one of the coolest stuff they have imo. Thanks for the video man, much appreciated!

[@SpedSpedding]

You’re welcome, I agree. That’s why I wanted to shed some light on it. Maybe IV casts a little bit of a shadow on some of the earlier tunes as it hade HUGE tracks on there.

[@dannyhood8857]

'In the light' was heavy song.

[@StealthParrot]

Always a great day when there's a new Sped lesson, especially such a great neglected tune. Love the 'flip off chord". Thank you!

[@SpedSpedding]

Hahaha, there’s always someone on the front row worthy of that chord. 😂😂

[@JasonGrenier-e7b]

Just found sped. I know I’m a slow learner. Sped is awesome entertaining and knowledgeable. He’s helped me learn how to play Jimmy better than anyone else. And take my guitar playing to the next level after about a decade long plateau. I hope you’re still shredding Sped!

[@dougshankle7946]

You do really really good job of breaking down these iconic riffs in such a way that it doesn't overwhelm the listener who's trying to learn it.

[@SpedSpedding]

Music to my ears Doug, that’s exactly what I’m trying to do. Love that they suit your pace and taste. 🙌🏻

[@dougshankle7946]

@@SpedSpedding For as long as I have loved Zeppelin it seems that every riff Page has written always has something unexpected or unique that makes my jaw drop. A perfect example is your lesson on When the Levee Breaks and that FACFAC tuning that allows you to play that power chord on the top two strings where you just wouldn't expect it. When I saw you play that I literally sat there thinking how in the hell did Page ever envision in his brain. Genius.

[@Busyfingers24]

You Sir, cannot be thanked enough for showing the riffage of my youth! Yea there’s tabs and books but this is so much more fun…and your teaching style is top shelf👍 I must also say that all of the records I scratched as a 70’s teen trying to learn this stuff, really feels good now knowing that I got at least some of them right…GREAT CHANNEL🤘

Ditto, We have a lot in common in 62 and grew up with Zeppelin ZZ 8 tracks and albums also Cheech and Chong. Hey man, don’t answer the phone, I think the phone is bugged 😁

[@SpedSpedding]

I can’t imagine the pain people went through picking up that needle every five seconds trying to figure out a riff! I feel for you, respect. 🙌🏻😂 Thanks so much for the compliment, honoured that you’re revisiting some of your favourites with me. ❤️

Great lesson. Zep 3 is often regarded as their least best album but I’ve always felt very differently about it. It’s one of my favorites of theirs. A lot of great songs.

[@SpedSpedding]

Yeah it does have great songs on there. I mentioned this at the start of my reading the other week, they got a lot of bad press and then came back with IV. Not bad right? 💪🏻😂

[@cidlopez]

@@SpedSpedding yeah to release IV after 3 is like 😮. I read once that some magazine gave 4 a mediocre review and dedicated one paragraph to the entire album. One paragraph for all that material!!

Nice lesson. Breaks down each lick to easily learn. Great tune. I always loved this underplayed extra-rockin Zep tune. Now I finally learned to play it exactly right after 30 of stumbling through it at about 80%.

Great lesson again, I love the way you get the tone and detail how to get the tricky timing down in Zeppelin songs with the upstrokes vs downstrokes, etc. I know its a very challenging song, but I have tried to tackle Since I've Been Loving You a couple times with some mixed success but would love to see your take on that and possible with a tiny bit of theory explanation of what he is doing and why those note choices sound SO good!

[@SpedSpedding]

Thanks Brent, appreciate the feedback on all the finer details in the videos. Glad my teaching suits your tastes. I’ll probably make my way through all the big tunes at some point.

That’s really cool Brian, stoked to be your teacher second time around. I’ve dabbled with books over the years but often disagree with a lot of printed stuff so settled on my ear. I tend to find my own way with playing these songs, they’re usually accurate but my own spin on things. Have fun.

[@achopage1]

Very cool lesson, just two minor things I noticed. I'm pretty certain the second note of the main riff is an A, rather than an A#. Then on the descent down, even though it does sound more intuitive the way that you teach it with the half step (B-A-B-A-B-C-B-A), Jimmy Page actually plays B-A-B-A-B-C#-B-A. Even more so than in the original recording this is very clearly audible at the 1977 Bonzo Solo/Out on the Tiles live. Cheers!

[@ohmzen9695]

Are you sure that riff has an A# sharp in it? making it Major sounds odd to me? I have always played this song with F# to an A keeping it in the pentatonic formation. I do put a bit of bend on the notes to blur the lines. but I think the riff Always stays in pentatonic. What is everyone else hearing? ( Thumbs up if you hear it in all pentatonic.)

[@SpedSpedding]

Yeah I am, I actually started learning it with the Open A and was like "why does this feel slightly off?" I realised he's using a F# major arpeggio just like his verse riff in Good Times Bad Times. The riff feels cheeky as opposed to dark so makes sense that he's major over minor.

[@ohmzen9695]

@@SpedSpedding Hmm... I agree open A does NOT quite sound right......However... Now try the riff with a 5th fret A (not open A) with a slight bend in it.. I think Jimmy is bending the 5th fret (A) which blurs the Major and Pentatonic lines. everything else you play is spot on! Great video thx

Modern player in the same league as James Page I find is Dean Deleo from Stone Temple Pilots... Try Plush... A killer display of great interlocking riffs.... Though the version from about 3 years ago with a new vocalist is utterly spellbinding... Try it... Though you may have heard it.... Their first four albums are sublime

[@SpedSpedding]

Nice one Mark, I have heard a bit but never gone on a deep dive listening with focus. 🙌🏻 Will put some on over the holidays.

[@markroylance1584]

Well I've not watched this yet Sped..... Another epic Page riff.... You managed to find the slow blues on his solo album?.. .. Outrider I think it's called,... Happy Christmas dude!! X

[@SpedSpedding]

Happy Christmas Mark! Yeah I’ve got that album, it’s cool. And yeah it is another epic Page riff. 💪🏻🍿

Thanks! They’ve been requested before and are on the conveyor belt. 😂 Hope you’re good!

Seeing Jimmy play out on the tiles with the black crows. I always thought Jimmy slides on the low E from #F to #A (or A) to #C, #F?
