[@synthoify]

Privettricker, James James the go to guitarist at least a couple times a week . Thanks for the years of videos that have taught me all the guitar licks that I want to know about. Thanks again James.

Sometimes i think they are the same person... Page

[@leovfl]

@@ravifloresalves I think they really are the same person, aren't they?

[@Frankincensedjb123]

One of Page’s best songs. Pure genius. Well done.

[@capitanobvious3695]

it's not just Jimmy in this song. it's the whole band. well, that's every song lol. genius collection of talent

[@cidlopez]

You’re one of the only ones on KZbin who play this right. Those two opening chords.

[@BenjWarrant]

Outstanding! This is one of my top 3 Zep songs; thank you James James!

[@vtwinbuilder3129]

I’ve seriously loved both of your channels since I found them well over 8 years ago but the way you casually discard that slide and transition to the chord made me smile so much. You’re one incredibly talented individual.

[@chaselampert1617]

Hey man, I play a ton and every time I'm learning new stuff I seem to find your videos by far and out the most accurate, easy to follow covers. Great stuff and love your tone. thx

[@giovannifarinacci4533]

oK, that's just awesome. Get the Led out !!

[@blackyslash]

Awesomeness!!’ Well played Sr.

[@richat1691]

that lick at 4.18ish - we all know it - i love this song but cant help its such a good lick we should be hearing it sooner/more or it could be a song in itself. Its that good.

[@javierrosales2778]

Caballero . magnifica interpretación.......

[@Dario37173]

Excellent work!

[@adrianjones1735]

cool cover :) also pretty slick one-handed slide on and off.

[@watermeloncrawl7919]

Thank you so musch

[@dennis4189]

Nice, nice job! Thanks for the lesson (s).

[@Ryanbaggarly]

Awesome man

[@budandbean1]

Really enjoy your slide playing.

[@jamesjames9275]

Buddy Martin I'm not much of a slide player, especially not in standard tuning!

[@budandbean1]

:-) I think you are awfully good, I know it’s hard in Standard. It’s nice to see your slide come out anytime, thank you.

[@johns1159]

Finally!!! Somebody actually using a slide. I viewed 6 in a row with idiots playing it without a slide, with bigger idiots saying how authentic it was.

[@stonz82]

So good!!!!

[@chrislittle2921]

You have the nicest guitars

[@Gregn604]

Just like watching ya play it.

[@osimpossiveis7275]

You make things look so easy but when we try its a disaster

[@jimmy13United]

I saw Led zepagain in dana point, CA like two years ago. Their Japanese jimmy page was pretty cool

[@jimmy13United]

Don’t think he plays with em anymore tho

[@jamesjames9275]

No, he's gone. But the new guy is really good.

[@charliebadger]

Superb once again :)

[@michaelerikvonhartung1869]

Please read this whole text because it's truly a compliment to what you do ! I have listened to much of your work, (BRAVO !) but I need to say that I think you detract from yourself when you run the studio recordings in the background. I realize you might be using it for comparison reasons but you don't do yourself justice and people (some of my students in particular) think your hiding behind those tracks. I do not think that's what your intentions are and I wanted to both pay you a compliment and offer you some constructive advice as well. Keep on cranking them out. I use much of what you do to teach some of my students. Thanks for all your hard work !!

[@jamesjames9275]

I couldn’t care less what anybody thinks.

[@michaelerikvonhartung1869]

I’m sorry that you would take that hostile attitude. People obviously look to you for direction and I tried to point that out along with paying you a true compliment. Part of being a good mentor is having the ability to use what people say to your advantage to become even a greater teacher. I was trying to tell you that I enjoy hearing you without the recording. You don’t have to agree with me but being open to people who appreciate you is the sign of a true artistic teacher. I think we should always look to better ourselves. Nothing negative was intended. And I truly enjoy your work.

[@jamesjames9275]

@@michaelerikvonhartung1869 Hostile? How is it hostile to say that people's criticisms don't bother me -- especially now that I'm no longer posting videos? If somebody doesn't like how I do my videos, it's too late for me to go back and change them. But you're free to interpret my comments however you wish. As I said, it doesn't bother me.

[@MrPatroclox]

James for president!

[@jamesjames9275]

No, thanks.

[@MrPatroclox]

I'm joking, James :-). But you are the best guitar teacher on the web, for sure. Also for Led Zeppelin lesson's that you develope!

[@chilledmonkeebrains]

Nice job

[@warner631]

Years ago I asked what those little teeny brown lines are that run parallel to the neck just about where your elbow rests on the body. Mineral lines! I have lusted after them for quite some time and am actually in process of building my own to have them. You inspire on all levels.

[@theprogwalrus7564]

nice!

[@dazednconfused-r4o]

Hey James, I'm currently playing through the Led Zeppelin ii and I couldn't remember the whole song so I watched the video. I know you don't post videos anymore but you always seemed like a great dude with a great taste in everything, so I'm just asking how you doing? I hope everything is fine, keep on rocking

[@RafaelMesBal]

Yeees zep songs

[@stranger7]

👍

[@billygoatct]

Sounds great!!! What did you film this with? The clarity is crazy. Keep rocking thnx. 🍻🐐

[@TypicalGirls]

Is it just me or is this a little bit, a tad, a smidgen bit slower than the original? Also, I believe Led Zeppelin was touring with Donovan and acquired the opening lick/strum from Season of the Witch, or something to this effect? Please clarify this factoid, if you will...because if anyone knows the story, it'd be you. Thanks!

[@jamesjames9275]

Yeah, the Led Zepagain version feels a little sluggish, especially when you get to the slide solo. It just drags. As for similarities to Season of the Witch, I think this is one of the few Zeppelin tunes that is 100% their own songwriting, with nothing stolen. :)

[@cacornett58]

Is it me or does the D chord in the song chorus, not a full blown D? It has a little dissonant note I hear or is that the D/A sound? Not doubting your work JJ, I always thought it sounded a tad different than a Dmaj. Help!

[@cacornett58]

I like playing it with the inversion F# A D.

[@walpolescrew]

Ah, when the Les Paul growls…

[@purplecowideal]

Except the slide for now. ;)

[@IncaFreestyle]

Hey JJ! Long time watcher, first time commenter : ) ....curious as to why you do not use a pick for the opening line/verse? ps - please dont delete the privettricker videos...thanks for the Touch of Grey and D'yer Maker lessons (among the many others...those are the two I tackled last week)....cheers!

[@jamesjames9275]

IncaFreestyle Sounds too harsh with a pick.

[@IncaFreestyle]

Much obliged!

[@johngibbs4378]

What brand/size slide is that? Please advise, thanks, johnnyb

[@jamesjames9275]

No idea, it was a gift.

Ooooooo a zep

[@Daytripper51]

Looks like your Living Loving Maid was taken down,eh?

[@jamesjames9275]

Yep. Easy come, easy go.

[@purplecowideal]

Seems doable for me.

[@alexandresaenz694]

James James ...t as le truc...

[@backtoshallabal6662]

Are you more of a Strat or Les Paul kind of guy?

[@jamesjames9275]

Backtoshallabal Les Pauls, for sure. I could happily live the rest of my life without playing a Strat. Still, Strats are nice to have because they're much more versatile.

[@aldopolo7]

James James it's good to see someone with the same opinion as mine, cheers bro, nice video by the way, you win another sub \m/

[@wartimemodels]

James James What about the Les Paul makes you say that? I’m aware of their attributes just curious what it is to you that makes them your preference.
