LED ZEPPELIN - "Ramble On" Bass Cover and Analysis || John Paul Jones | Bass Tab

[@treborif]

JPJ and Mr Entwistle taught me bass back in the '70's - when lifting the needle backing up and dropping it over and over till Ma screamed at me was the way to do it . . thanks.

[@23rbarrett]

This song caused me to finally try bass after 30 years of guitar playing. Great teaching style, thanks. Especially appreciate the slowed down version. And thanks for the tab along with the music. Gives a quick jump start on playing while still actually know what notes I'm playing! Expecting this will let me quickly get up to speed to be able to play some basic bass lines along with others.

[@classicbasslines]

Welcome to the dark side! Thanks, and I'm glad you're trying it out

[@EM663]

Thank you for playing this SLOW. My god its incredible how many people’s “lessons” are jamming out at full speed

[@filosurfer]

Great tip on the “rake” between the D and G strings. Makes it not only easier but sounds better!

[@mikevonhohenstein5587]

Great video and playing. JPJ and this song in particular made me become a bass player.

[@thomaspearce8271]

Thanks man. Best lesson I’ve found on this song

[@sflx327]

McCartney and Jamerson. My two favorite bass players. John Paul Jones is my third favorite bass player.

[@imagistatheimagista1870]

100%

[@MrGabrinillas]

But John Paul John is clearly the best

[@Riklott1111]

@@sflx327 jpj was much more creative imo

[@ericravin2863]

Hello! I m agree whith you. Paul, of course. Afterwards, my favorites are John Paul Jones, Steeve Harris.

[@headninjadog8120]

I got into bass because of this guy and this song. You played it to a tee!

[@classicbasslines]

Yes! I wonder how many people JPJ turned into bassists

[@vulcandj]

Very well played and taught. And let’s talk about the tone. You nailed it!! Great job!

[@TheLondonAssassin]

an excellant tutorital, thank you.

[@wmkennard]

Love this guy we even look little alike. Ty great teaching.

[@scottking2932]

Great lesson. Thx.

[@peterbarratt2415]

Thougt I'd missed a day out of my life at first. A beauty.

[@classicbasslines]

haha thanks Peter

[@theidahodian4518]

This song was the reason I first started listening to Bass lines. You did a great job of explaining it with good analysis. I did hear the Jamerson licks when you isolated it. Liked and Subscribed.

[@classicbasslines]

thank you!

[@ertlk24]

Great breakdown! I guessed Jamerson, not McCartney, but now I get it!. Thanks for the JPJ/ Bonham iso...that was killer!

[@robertham3746]

Great lesson! I like you teaching. I'll be reviewing other videos of yours, for sure!

[@sbagwell98]

Excellent tutorial, Tabs are helpful, yet after my teacher (classical) was so incessant on thumb behind the "neck!" I can now see exactly where your fingers are, so important, thank you. And yes Jaco was incessant on the thumb behind the neck ALWAYS. JPJ did play the fender jazz so it's relatively easy to get his sound the the fender jazz. Thank you again for your help.

[@Jomomma1]

I just bought a Jazz bass a week ago and I just found this video. I love Jones' bass line on this song. Thanks for making the video and teaching me this bass line. Btw, I knew you were talking about McCartney and Jamerson in about three seconds.

[@classicbasslines]

nice! enjoy the new axe!

[@johncook9983]

Cool analysis 👍

[@zacharykreiser6659]

Amazing lesson. Thank you so much!!

[@BedeLaplume]

Really good bass tuto and research!

[@barebonesnoble]

Great tone, brother!

[@ToniDelgadoAbellan]

yeah excelllent sense of 1 on that jamerson outro by JPJ

[@hakeemahmadjamal7403]

John Paul Jones said he was greatly influenced by Motown, Stax, James Brown etc - you can definitely tell in the b section of this song

[@classicbasslines]

absolutely. I love how he weaves that stuff into so many zeppelin tunes

[@herrqwertz3567]

Great Video!

[@JayDeeChannel]

Love this channel. Such good tunes, (imo ;-)) James Jameson?

[@rkalsic]

Amen

[@Junkboy888]

super nice.

[@classicbasslines]

thanks!

[@ericravin2863]

❤👍

[@alessandrorigobello7551]

Lovely

[@rstuartcpa]

Love this lesson. It's full of insight and clear instruction. Especially love that you slowed down for us humans. BTY, great tone. Did JPJ's play a Jazz Bass on this track? It's sounding spot on.

[@classicbasslines]

Thanks! I can't say for sure about the Jazz bass but i think so. I know he played an Alembic on some of the later stuff but I think at this point it was mostly jazz bass.

[@ParanoidGoblinoid]

2:49 Geddy Lee.

[@TheChef470]

Do you know if JPJ was using "flats" on his jazz bass ?

[@classicbasslines]

Not really sure. But I think a good rule of thumb is: if you can’t tell, then it doesn’t really matter. Sounds like a jazz bass with a little bit of tone rolled off. I think you could get there with either - a little EQ and the right touch

[@Gwatchum]

I said, Paul McCartney and Jaco Pastorius.

[@classicbasslines]

hard to argue with that!

[@TheChef470]

Listen to how tight Bonham and Jones were. That's what allows that tight 16th note syncopation to happen.

[@classicbasslines]

Amen. Rock solid groove masters

[@theophilussparks5839]

JPJ also one of the baddest

[@classicbasslines]

for sure

[@Riklott1111]

In the main riff you use hammer ons instead of sliding into it Interesting and nice

[@classicbasslines]

@@Riklott1111 thanks. Took another listen, probably should have done the slide 🤷‍♂️

[@Riklott1111]

@@classicbasslines I don’t know, it sounded good I play bass in a Led zep tribute band, it’s a constant struggle I’ve seen “out on the tiles” played like 20 different ways as an example

[@imagistatheimagista1870]

Totally Paul McCartney and Jamerson to a certain extent. McCartney aka the most underrated bass player in history.

[@classicbasslines]

haha totally. So good at writing and singing that being completely revolutionary on his instrument isn't what people even really know him for...damn!

[@asddsa-uy9ko]

have tabs to share sir ?

[@classicbasslines]

yes - link is in the video description

[@willdolan9056]

James Jamerson and Charles Mingus

[@classicbasslines]

was thinking of just electric players but hell, you can't go wrong with Mingus!

[@pageboy6155]

Your PayPal link didn’t work.

[@classicbasslines]

thanks for the headsup. The link seems to break periodically 🤷‍♂️. Thanks for being willing to support but don't sweat it for now. If I get around to making more videos hopefully I will crack the requirements for getting the Thank$ button

[@Riklott1111]

I’d like to see you so Dazed and confused

[@Rka1970]

Great job man.
