August Lyons Jimmy once called it "Light and Shade" or maybe I misunderstood what he was referring to. I thought he was talking about his recording method.

[@Tedmund13]

I think 'light and shade' is like a personal mantra to Jimmy if I understand it right. It's not just about the musical dynamics in LZ's music, it manifests itself in so many different ways. The interest in any music lies in the contrast, and light vs shade is a great perspective on that

[@coobird1ify]

Tedmund13 ,,,,,,, absolutely right ,,",,Light and Shade " is a term used in painting or sculpture(other art forms as well) . Jimmy was brilliant in using that term to describe compostions in music. It's referring to contrast. Loud against quiet, fast against slow ,,hard again soft. ( light and shadow ) . Think of those as musical notes. One accentuates the other to create variety, ,, hence creating interrest and impact. You can recognise it easily in " Ramble On". Jimmy is a master at creating this effect in his compositions. IMHO

[@ivanjulian2532]

I'd agree with that. Certainly it's my personal favourite out of their catalogue. Extremely tasteful and melodic, with the soft loud dynamic being exectuded by the whole band with perfection. Also, the lead break is so restrained. Like the lead break by George Harrison on Something, it's a lead break you can sing with your voice. And when you do that's when you realise how musical it is. Ten Years Gone is the song I play to people who think Led Zeppelin is "just a heavy metal band".

[@erichharrington1213]

is playing is the most lyrical of anyone in Rock. My absolute favorite guitarist ever. People talk about his technique being weak or sloppy, but NO ONE plays a line with the touch and feeling that he does. NO ONE can impart the aggressive, powerful feeling of Heartbreaker like him. NO ONE can play a song like rain song at 100 decibels live with the delicacy of Jimmie. And no one writes the melodic lines that will be playing 100 years from now like Jimmy. Almost everysong he did was a masterpiece on so many levels.

[@jayall00]

Agreed, what people think is him playing sloppy is usually intentional and actually very technical. I think there should be a new word to describe it. His playing style is in the same light as the Bonham or Purdy shuffle. It's not perfectly in sync, and that's WHY it sounds so good. It sounds human and organic, and (just imo) that's something today's music lacks. So many people just don't get it, but that to me is at the very essence of the blues and led zeppelin's playing. It's almost like an intended drunkenness. It's like Robert Plant when he sings Dancing Days. His vocals are sung at a lower pitch than they should be, and it has the adverse effect. It brings the song to life, and he knows it

[@erichharrington1213]

@@jayall00 Well said. I think Page also was willing to push to the edge of his technique, not in pat scales but in free improvisation. It gave it a tension you don't get by playing safe. And Bonham had this amazing technique of laying back in the pocket as good as ANYONE, and then as the tension built in transitions, he would move forward to in time or slightly ahead to create a sense of urgency or climax, and then he would release back into that amazing behind the beat pocket. He was the best drummer ever, and for things the vast majority of people, even musicians don't understand, but they FEEL it. And Page was the same. The paying in the middle of the movie "Song remains the same" starting with "No Quarter" was unmatched in my experience for a live performance. Even my classical pianist friend when he watched it with me said it was virtuosity of a level he had never seen in rock players..

I Love Jimmy Page and all of Led Zeppelin (..RIP. Bonzo) for all the years of pleasure they've given me. Hey Thanks for posting this.

[@deneece4946]

Great song and so nice to hear how all the guitar melodies are being layered just like vocal harmonies, it's like a guitar choir! Jimmy is an amazing musician, composer, arranger and producer!

[@jim21jam]

Glad I was a teenager during this era, best music ever!!!

[@Avalanche1368]

A Gibson, Fender and Martin. The holy trinity of guitars.. What else would a God play?

[@LesPaul3399]

a gibson, fender, and a Taylor.

[@Avalanche1368]

Taylor?? They sound like someone dropped a handful of quarters on the sidewalk...:) lol.. But if ya notice in the pic, that's a Martin headstock with a Gibson headstock to the left., To tell ya the truth, I'm more of a Gibson acoustic fan...I do however like the Taylor 614, 814 and 914......CE's..

[@LesPaul3399]

the top end Taylors are just as good if not better than any top of the line martins. alot of martins are very flat sounding. i prefer the bright open sound from the taylors any day of the week.... and twice on Sunday. :-) all preference when we are talking that high of quality

[@JMPRocker]

John Frangione Agreed ! My Taylor plays better than any Martin I've played hands down.

[@LesPaul3399]

totally agree... now youre speaking my language! a gibson, a fender and a TAYLOR!

[@rubenpapa100]

really appreciate this as a player, it's such an intimate insight into how jimmy builds the idea of a song, and such a song. one of my absolute favourites. Jimmy has been my guiding light as a guitar player for 35 years plus.

[@ingongo25]

I'm doing my homework now, and this is as good as the Lo-Fi beats to concentrate

[@vertigo4567]

...holy hell. This really is an amazing Jimmy Page treasure. You can feel slightly what it must have been like watching him in the recording process.

[@TMNigel]

Layer upon layer, continually creating monstrous mischief. Pagey the master!

[@joeseymour4073]

Yes! Page the Six String Alchemist!

[@martinherts1967]

So relaxing,and the end result is a beautiful song

[@jonthorpe5877]

Despite the fact that this entire 7 minute recording ended up being only the middle 8 of the song lol.

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

That's how the pros do it

[@leechild4655]

Hearing him build his tracks kind of tells you what he was thinking. Landing on a note that will make a cool chord when you put it all together. It probably started as an experiment and he heard something that might work from all that. He always spoke about having a vision. That must be part of it, hearing something you started and expanding on it like crazy. How he came up with all those crazy ideas we may never know. He wrote things we never knew we wanted to hear until we heard it. Genius

[@Transterra55]

Love the 1970's chords/chord progressions and the beautifully melodic lead guitar...brings back sweet memories.

[@BobbyGraham85]

The morons who post comments regarding how unpolished this sounds are obviously not musicians and if they are they're very ignorant. A masterpiece like Ten Years Gone doesn't just flow out of even a genius like Jimmy completed and flawless on the first try. WTF is wrong with some people??? Anyway thanks for the post it's awesome to hear Jimmy putting the pieces together of what is one of his most beautiful compositions!!

[@incomemobile8566]

Yeah they do. Real masterpieces are beamed down from the mothership when the recipient artist is in a 'flow state'. Effortlessly.

[@mattsarnecky2552]

Honestly it sounds more beautiful this way than the finished version.

[@Stimpy77777]

It’s not just a Masterpiece; it’s an Orchestral Masterpiece!

[@johnlo1966]

What it is -jealousy. They hate the fact they are not as good will never be as good not as smart not as innovative not as composed not even in the same zip code as page. Haters will always say they copied page wasn’t that good etc when the fact is they are not master musicians themselves. Let someone who negatively comments post something better please post your originals. And please show us your doctrine in music at the highest level.

[@carlom.3737]

I find this to be a fantastic insight into Jimmy’s creative process

[@alanjamesh.zamorano1677]

The beginning sounds like Jimmy was figuring out the intro to Band On the Run and came up with something else, another beautiful melody. He knew there was something special there, so he kept working on those chords.

[@martypaxton7668]

I heard that too good catch !

[@Powderfinger07]

Yes, the solo is very similar to band on the run. With maj7th chords providing the template.

[@davefan16]

@Booger Balls someone's angry

[@cosmosaic8117]

Booger Balls booger balls you are a moron. I have played guitar since 2002 and it definitely sounds similar to Band On the Run. You stfu

[@Allan-et5ig]

I was afraid to say that too. Thinking that my fellow Zep fans would pile on. Without question musicians are very often, influenced by the music of peers. I do think Page heard Band On The Run and it stayed 'vaguely' in his head. He then went off and did his own thing, totally unique.

[@CNCTEMATIC]

Who else was putting these sorts of music together - rock, folk, eastern modes, and more - in the late 60s? Such a unique sensibility, Mr Page, and yet he tapped into something universal. Genius.

[@gdawgs101]

CNCTEMATIC I think you'll very much enjoy RUSH.

[@garymorgan3314]

Jeff Beck was; he still is....

[@ijamsum]

Jeff Beck is good and having fun , he just likes single notes to talk . No content or vibe rhythm is in his music now , blues stuff mostly !

[@garymorgan3314]

Very much his own sort of Blues it is too, loads of whammy bar and note being and that tone of his, He's so good in part because he is having fun. He's the only rocker guitarists I can think of who's still pushing the envelope. Pity he gigs mainly abroad, an irony since he lives only 20 odd miles from me yet hasn't toured his homeland for a couple of years....

[@bluebassett2]

I guess you haven't been listening to any of Jeff's performances over the past 10 years. He's still cranking out very original stuff, blazing trails likes always. IMO

[@KOLDBLU3ST33L]

The riff Master. Such beautifully cool melodies freely flow from Page.

[@BobbyBecker-t9j]

JIMMY PAGE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER,GREAT GUITARIST WILL ALWAYS BE HEARD AND WILL ALWAYS SHOW THEIR TALENT SO OTHERS CAN LEARN FROM THEM 🎸🎶✌️😎BOB!

[@thephet]

Ten Years Gone is one of my favourite LZ songs. The scene when it appears in Almost Famous is amazing.

[@TheTwangKings]

So nice to see Mr. Page with a vintage Strat!

[@trippmciver233]

The master of songwriting, layering, and production. ‘Simplicity is the most difficult thing to achieve’. This is a lost and under appreciated art. Beautiful, and thanks for sharing!!!

[@octoowen1234]

This is just simply the result of how many hours he put into mastering his instrument. He played so much that it would be impossible for him not to become this skilled. He is number 1.

[@professorpsoop]

No guitar player ever, for all their crazy shredding and overplaying, composed anywhere near Page's level. You can't take that away from him and that's what really counts.

[@thedeviousduck8027]

John Cornell He did steal a lot, but the stuff he stole was all blues. Truthfully, he didn't need to steal, as his own compositions are far more beautiful than anything he ever created by "borrowing" music.

[@twobeer3316]

@@thedeviousduck8027 They mostly took blues lyrics(partial), when they formed. They really didn't have a song writer, yet...

[@diatomicfawn1141]

Gear 10's guitar solo from Pantera and maybe your opinion about shredders can change

[@graymancini4733]

The Devious Duck except for Since I’ve Been Loving You. One of my favorites.

[@musiccer7446]

Hendrix and Gilmour would like your location

[@murilogoulart4935]

Hypnotic, sublime, outstanding James Patrick Page, the juggernaut of Valhalla, best guitar man EVER. Greetings from Danmark 🤜 🇩🇰 🤛

[@Bioniking]

I always heard this song was originally intended to be an instrumental. I never really understood from the album version. But after hearing this demo, it all makes sense. Such a beautiful song

[@wordsdontfail1879]

One of my favourite Led Zep tunes. Listening to the process and development here makes me feel so lucky, priviledged. These gems are what youtube is all about!

[@dbayjr]

We were all sooo young back then . It's an incredible body of music in only about 10 years.

[@hysteric_games1239]

I cry to this more than the official release.

[@safwannizam2932]

same

[@bigbopper6434]

Love listening to this. When Jimmy starts the electric at 2:03, pure magic. And something about the melody beginning at 4:19, takes me to another place. Could listen to this noodling for days!!!

[@TheDarDar1]

That solo conjures chills like no other song. It digs up memories of an unexplainable emotional time.

[@chadfkennedy]

The solo and bridge part of this song is my favorite moment in Led Zeppelin's discography.

[@DarrinKobetich]

It's wonderful hearing these songs develop into the masterpieces they became.

[@martinwhite9691]

The song makes me think back when l was young. Makes me think about the girls that l spent time with in a nostalgic sort of way. Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin still blow me away after nearly 50 years.

[@luvbasses5487]

Jimmy was the ultimate craftsman during the entire Zeppelin tenure. Even amid the downward spiral from ‘76 then on, he still managed to compose like an ultimate professional.

[@williampagdon4822]

The Swirl Sound when the Tape is Stopped reminds me of the many Bands that played in the Basement Studio of my boyhood home. What a joy it is to listen to songs stripped down, just like when those many Bands would be learning songs. Phenomenal!

[@ChrisCarpenter-d5e]

One of my all time favorite Zep songs.

[@baboxe]

aucun guitariste n'est aussi élégant et expressif !! Ce Monsieur est un rêve pour nous !!!

[@jaredg.3305]

One of my favorite page solos ever

[@jeffpierce9296]

Always loved this deep track from Physical Graffiti.

[@jasonrobinson5854]

[@jamesmcelroy5978]

Jimmy and the band made a good choice when JB left us and Jayson is the only real sit in. We agree the police Stue C is a kick ass jazz percussion is.

[@finckel2682]

I love his image playing the Strat, and I loved the sound too.

[@Nick-xh6of]

THIS IS GOLD. One of the best, and rhythmically put together songs ever. You know Jimi laid this down before vocals were put down. Absolutely lovely.

[@bandfromtheband9445]

First off, writing the entire bridge for 10 Years Gone!! I can honestly say that this song has been in love with me from the first time I heard it, in High School, 1977 or '78. I saw Led Zeppelin in Cincinnati, Ohio at the Riverfront Coliseum, April 21st, 1977. (I think that's accurate). first come, first served seating. My girlfriend and I had a straight-on view of the stage at the very back of Riverfront Coliseum. We had a wide-angle view, and the huge lighting trusses and the sound was perfectly Stereo. At exactly 8:00 pm that evening, the lights went out! No announcements. Jimmy Page started the chords for "The Song Remains The Same" and comes dancing out on stage right. Robert Plant came dancing out of stage left, and they met in the middle of the stage, THAT was when the song exploded! Everyone went banana's!!! They played for 2 and a half hours! Both nights. (The next night, the 20th, as well). The laser effects that they used back then were still new, pretty spectacular but a pain in the ass to mainstain!. Their stage and lighting trusses were enormous for 1977!!! 2 years later in December of 1979, I faced death right in front of my face at the same venue, only this time to see The Who, at Riverfront Coliseum, Downtown Cincinnati.

[@bluestate69]

Page once said he loved Joni Mitchell, because her music made him cry. Listening to this demo, especially at the beginning, I can hear a little Joni Mitchell in there. Yes, Page took liberties with some artist's music, but his genius was in his ability to capture different styles of music, and incorporate it into his own. Bowie did the same thing.

[@johnstark5404]

His phrasing and feel are magic.
