This guy is a total stud. His Patreon is great. Not a paid advert and I don’t even know his name!

[@12footchain]

Thank you!

[@L.A.W.Studios]

Uh .. welp, I'm sold.. It's a rarity (in this modern world,) to encounter a sonic detail-oriented player who's gleaned the mechanics of it, and is able to demonstrate a down-to earth how-to. Much respect🖖(& thanks)

[@LAboomR]

You brought it home brother 👍🏻 wonderful job✌🏻 I looked that guitar at Sears with my Dad, crying “Dad, that’s junk,I want a Gibson” Kids

[@WilliamofKent]

Nice job! The pace and approach is perfect. The JP hand wave was priceless! Keep 'em coming!

[@markhamilton8765]

Full marks for even attempting to master and teach this complex Zep song! So well done…thanks!

[@baronvonthrophousen5930]

Fuck yes!! I first started looking for this exact video about 15 years ago. I gave up looking a long time ago, until today. I’ve had the solos so close but just could never quite get it sounding right and now, finally, I’m gonna get it down thanks to you. You’ve no idea how happy I am right now. Thank you. Edit:- I’ve got it nailed now, that’s not a brag, that’s just a thanks to you. Great stuff dude

[@johntedesco6304]

That slide sounds so good.

[@askburlefot2645]

Super lesson! Great tone! Thanks! Every slide riff in this tune just sounds so good!!!

[@cobyward2878]

Physical Graffiti is so awesome. This is great

[@jazzbass5883]

Another excellent video. I think the reason that the guitar tone of the first solo sounds so different, is because it IS different. Another take; an overdub. Listening to the version from the remaster bonus disc (search youtube for "initial rough mix"), right at 5:00 is where the solo starts. Jimmy said that this was recorded live, in a single take. The tone on the rough mix does *not* change at 5:00; there is no slide down from twelve. The entire solo sounds pretty lackluster compared to what you are demonstrating here. I'm glad that he decided he could do better, because he did!

[@mrsoul4231]

Love the way you get the high note/low note discrepancy in intro riff.Great attention to detail there 👏

[@SydneyGuidedTours]

I've been wanting to play this since '77. Thank you sooo much!!!

[@jesusisthesonofgod-amen]

Thank you, this is the BEST IMTOD lesson I've seen to date & sub'd to your channel because of this lesson. We saw Led Zeppelin in concert twice - 1975 & 1977, and they performed IMTOD at both of these concerts.

[@12footchain]

Thank you!

[@thedirector2588]

Been working on my great grandfathers Danelectro this song sounds killer on it thanks!

[@Mr59Esquire]

Been playing this song for years in standard tuning and could not quite get it right. Thanks great video. 👌👏

[@JulioMacarena]

You're a deadset legend, bro.

[@m600blu]

At 16:19you do what you call the beginning of the lead, I hear him hitting the next string down . I suppose it would be an e string “D” . But he hits the g string twice to open then he plays the D sliding up to the third fret then open G string. Open g third fret open G, then sliding on the D string to the third fret then openG again. And he slides on the A to the third fret and holds for a second like he does on misty mountain hop.

[@betsonbarbara8241]

That was excellent. What a great teacher!

[@davidmaclean9787]

Thanks; you are great! more people should see you!

[@12footchain]

Thank you! Tell your friends 😀

Raw and organic from young men in complete accord with their brain waves. Lost in producing a sound.

"I know whatever I hit is going to sound great...." Thanks for a Wednesday evening chuckle...

[@markhill9275]

Great lesson mate! Bugger me his tone when he plays this with the P90's is the absolute ducks guts! Might get loud got me REALLY wanting to learn slide to play this!

[@philibowey4809]

Yess yesss and yesss .... ...... been w8ing for this monster of a lesson bring it on 🤘🤘

[@petestern3639]

Love your lessons!

[@12footchain]

Thank you! 😃

Your Awsome keep up these great songs and lessons ❤Love you 🎸

[@shakeyblues5128]

Nice Work 12 Ft, Great Song ♪♫♪♫♪. Might be a snow day tomorrow as we are weathering a storm coming up from Michigan.

[@12footchain]

Good day to stay in and play some slide

[@terryshepherd-yc3yt]

Another outstanding job! love the passion. Led Zep my all time favorite band. Jimmy Page my favorite guitar god. Well I've got my Dan Electro and slide I need to get to work. Love slide players, Duane and Bad to the Bone George Thorogood. People should check out Smokin Joe Kubek tearing it up playing Little Red Rooster on slide.

[@james-free76]

Love the video and such a great song! If you like Led Zep and slide guitar then you HAVE to take on Travelling Riverside Blues next… also a great opportunity to use the 12 string 🤘

[@12footchain]

Did that one already! :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ2uk4mmmtJgj9E

[@richardhorky9749]

Very good. Thank you.

[@jeffscott7266]

How many guitar players have gotten divorced over misunderstandings with the wives over a G string? Great video lesson on how to nail this song perfectly!!! Sounded awesome just like jimmy.

[@kevinking2468]

Wow! Most excellent.

[@matthewpocock4824]

I have an original (1975) deluxe Double record of The Song Remains the Same with the pictures in it. Any idea what it's worth?

[@pauldoan180]

Excellent!

[@Stratsrule]

[@doncalvert8053]

Great lesson as usual- just waiting for no quarter and dazed from the song remains the same album!!

[@12footchain]

Here's no quarter, album version. Or did you mean the live version for that one too? kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZK9cmejj99jns0

[@doncalvert8053]

@@12footchain yes meant the live one with what I consider to be Jimmys best solo

[@bencobley4929]

Brilliant

[@spencerfristad333]

Hey man great lesson as always can you do a lesson on Jeff beck let me love you baby I really wanna learn it thanks cheers

[@TheWevano]

Great video! A question: You think he might have used more common G tuning and capoed on 2nd fret?

[@12footchain]

Possible, but don't think it's necessary.

[@jazzbass5883]

Interesting question. I don't think so, for the following reasons. He did not use a capo live. Using a capo might make the overall action a bit lower, increasing the chance of "fretting out" with the slide (he may have actually had the Dano setup with higher than usual string height, to accommodate slide. Also, since he played Kashmir on the Dano live, which hasn't got a lot of lead work, so the higher action could work for all the DADGAD chords). In the studio, Jimmy had all the time needed to tune to whatever he wanted, so not shortcuts (like a capo) required. Interestingly, they DID play it in open G live (not open A like on the studio recording), probably to make it easier on Robert's vocals.

[@SopranoPizzaJMFNJ]

No capo was used in the studio and it was never played live with a capo.

[@streetlevel4996]

I remember hearing this song during my drug years and thinking what will happen to me when I die and what about Jesus. So a hippy Jesus friend shared with me that Jesus dug ( Loved ) me and that I could know Him personally and that it was a relationship not some boring cold religion. So I said Jesus I ask you in my life and such joy I felt and freedom and hope and never went back to drugs and that was 1981 and still following Jesus. Hey He loves each of you and if you are at all open I would encourage you also to open your heart to Him and Check out the Gospel of John in the Bible or the Gospel of John movie on KZbin 😊

[@sterlingmcvay2469]

Man, consider doing Try And Love Again - EAGLES? I heard today and thought that would be a great one. It's got Great Harmonized Guitar Parts. I think it's Randy Meissner singing? Thanks for this one!!

[@litemetal]

Riff off of that motif 😅, great statement.

[@pdub2762]

Hell yeah

[@2mdcoe]

It seems the guitar starts on the & of 4 before the 1. Correct?

[@12footchain]

i think thats right - at least toward the end when the drums come in. in the beginning, i'm not sure its that rigid, seems pretty freeform.

[@2mdcoe]

Gives an entirely different perspective from what we’re all used to hearing, just like how Rock and Roll intro starts on the & of 3 but the count in is never revealed. The Dylan version is much that way as well. That type blues style syncopation is common.

[@Tonysmithmusic]

didn’t he use open g on the earl’s court live version.

[@12footchain]

yes he did. which is same tuning as Open A, just tuned 2 frets / 1 step lower. same chord shapes, positions on the neck etc. just played in a different key to probalby make it easier for Robert to sing to live

[@alzeppo]

is not fair..you have a Danelectro...jajas

[@2mdcoe]

Timing would help.

[@thepirhomancer9745]

👍👍!!

[@ultrakool]

I'd say zoso (lz IV) was their prime, imo, but I digress..

[@Dan-zq5wt]

That’s exclusively a matter of taste.

[@jasonkeith9317]

Physical Graffiti.

[@alexbowman7582]

I think that Page and Plant gave themselves the writing credits on that song.

[@Dan-zq5wt]

So what’s your point? Tedious

[@alexbowman7582]

@@Dan-zq5wt they never wrote the song and Dylan covered it in his first album before they did.

[@Dan-zq5wt]

@@alexbowman7582 yeah so? 99.9999% of Zep fans could care less. They transformed every old standard they touched into something wildly different so no one but a few trolls actually care.

[@markhill9275]

​@alexbowman7582 yeah, and dylans version is shithouse! AlsoHendrix covered Watchtower, but everyone credits him, when it is a Dylan song. A lot of blues and jazz are actually derived from Celtic music, so who copied whom?

[@TitanicHorseRacingLover]

I think what Led Zeppelin was trying to do was continue the old blues tradition of hearing one player's song and covering that person's work and doing their own version.

[@Mark70609]

The main theme has two guitars, it’s a conundrum to the solo guitarist.

[@tom12ta]

🍺🍺😉🤘

[@wooferdevlin3571]

Long tune, cough. Must have been a lot of work, cough. What some say is Jimmy slop, to me, is him trying to make it sound spontaneous and not studied, cough. The introduction to slide is a nice detail, no cough. Keep awn!! 🤔🐘
