this is my favourite LZ album and you've done it all! youre a legend!

[@billbobaggins801]

I remember reading Hammer Of The God's as a 9th grader. I am a drummer and ZEPPLIN was a butterfly that metaphorically grew into my life. Page was just a god like to me even as a little boy I could feel the machine drawing me to play hard and hit with attack. I still play drums and the little boy at 52 now still plows into ZEPPLIN. Amazing band....

I do hope you revisit some other Zeppelin albums. You are so insightful. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

[@thaianddanelifeinthailand4803]

Your knowledge of all the small, but ever so important details is pure gold. The detail about the droopy / delayed bend in the riff was exactly what I had been missing for two decades of playing guitar. Thanks a lot!

[@ZofoZofo]

Carl. I have been a lifelong Led Zeppelin addict. 50 years. I have played the guitar fairly badly for 30 of those years but now more recently improving. I have always kept away from my favourite band because I didn’t want to be gifted the key to the magic but how wrong I have been. Watching your insights to my beloved music just makes me love it more. Thank your sir from me in the UK 🇬🇧 you are a honorary British blues guy. We thank the U.S. 🇺🇸for giving the world this amazing music

[@CarlBaldassarreMusic]

That’s a wonderful message! Thank you so much!

The most amazing thing about your videos is that I listened to this music 40 years ago and now 40 years later I am learning about what its really all about. You are truly making amazing videos.

Excellent breakdown and wall art. This is my favorite Zeppelin song. It never gets old even after 45 years with hundreds of plays. Thanks from Colorado.

[@geofheydon546]

Thank you so much Carl. I’m from Sydney Australia and was about 14 years old when I got LZ2. I basically learned guitar by playing along with this album. Being so young and inexperienced I got a lot of the basics down but wasn’t able to get all the details. And the record wore out completely with all the needle juggling to try to hear details. I got a 68 les Paul custom when I was 15 and still have it today. I got to see LZ live in feb 73 in Sydney and it was the best show of my life so far. Your skill, experience, passion and insight is adding so much value to me I can’t thank you enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you……..

[@CarlBaldassarreMusic]

You made my day! Thx!

[@michaelrigoli]

I’m 62 years old and grew up listening to Led Zeppelin (and still do!) and this journey you have taken us on brings me back and I thank you for that! I play a Les Paul only because Jimmy Page was and still is my guitar idle. Your song break downs are incredible and I have learned so much, please do continue to enlighten and educate us! Thank you Carl!

The journey actually surprised me. I just thought I’d do a couple of tracks, but it became a beautiful journey for me. I’ve learned so much. If that’s all I did, I’m proud that the my Zep II portfolio is now available for years to come. One day it may find a larger audience and become an important contribution to the mosaic of the complete story of this once in a lifetime, incredible band.

Thanks, Carl. I can only reiterate the comments of the others on this great channel: thank you for taking us all on this wonderful journey with you. I've been listening (well, I thought I'd been listening) to Led Zep II for 49 years, and yet I now hear so much more in the music thanks to your fascinating and inspiring presentations. Your joy for the music is infectious. Well, I can't wait to see where you're taking us next. I only know that you like Blackmore. So, will it be more Led Zep (no complaints from me). Or Blackmore? Or, perhaps, someone else? Mr Baldassarre, sir, I think that a man of your infinite class, taste and refinement just has to be a fan of both Steve Howe and David Gilmour.

[@CarlBaldassarreMusic]

Tony, first of all, thank you for the very kind words. I give it my all and I appreciate your acknowledgment. ...And yes, Howe and Gilmour are two exquisite guitar players! Although they have completely different approaches (like Page and all the true “greats”) they create their own unmistakable, sonic world that is immediately recognizable. Love them both!

[@conorlauren]

My favorite live version is Earl’s Court in 1970. It’s also filmed so we can see his technique and neck positions And his tone control.

Thanks again Carl, another great break down right down to the pick angle which really made a difference when I was playing along, great way to close out two, looking forward to more. 220th Darrel.

[@CarlBaldassarreMusic]

You’re very welcome! I’m glad the pick angle mindfulness helped you. There is so much to say on that. It’s important to recognize and allow yourself to continuously adjust the parameters to picking! There is NO “constant” at the molecular level. In fact my pick angle changes within that very riff to accommodate what’s necessary. If you’re stumbling trying to play something always check two things: the fingering and the picking (angles as well as motions -up/down etc). The problem is usually one or the other or both! Peace my friend!!

[@ScottM3]

I love your videos. So many of these reaction videos add nothing and get old quickly. Yours are great because you don't play the track that we have all heard a million times but instead give fabulous insights into how it was played and created. I would love to see you react to the complete 8/31/69 show as well as a Europe '73 show like 3/22/73 or 3/24/73 particularly the "Dazed and Confused" and "Whole Lotta Love" from those shows. Jimmy's playing is at its peak and the Bonham Page syncopation during the blues part of the "Whole Lotta Love" medley is always unique. And for more great Page moments, "Thank You" from 1/22/73 which has a particularly beautiful solo and very different than the 1970 "Thank You" solos and "No Quarter" from 2/12/75 which again has a particularly beautiful Page solo.

[@CarlBaldassarreMusic]

Thank you for the encouragement and suggestions!

[@EdA1]

Hi Carl, I just found you and your channel and I just subscribed! Led Zeppelin II I found back in June of 1972 when I first saw them at the Nassau Coliseum at age 14… And like you I have been immersing myself in my favorite album of all time Led Zeppelin II going on nearly 50 years! I can’t wait to dig into all your videos you’re doing a fantastic job of not only describing the technical aspects but the brilliance of the music itself… Blueberry Hill is my first ever bootleg as well, for me it was in 1973 that I first heard it… And while the studio version of Bring It On Home blows me away every time I listen to it, the live version from Blueberry Hill has got its own bit of magic for sure!… Love that you’re touching on it here… One little thing I’m surprised that you did not mention though in this video. Yes the main riff is one of Jimmy‘s best of all time. But those double stop and triad chords things that he’s doing underneath Plants vocals are some of the most manic an amazing playing I’ve ever heard him do… And pure tone from the gods!… rock on 😊

[@CarlBaldassarreMusic]

So agree on the verse chordal riffs. They were one of my most delightful new licks to discover. I played wrong when I was young and was blown away with his great it feels under my fingers when I figured it out for these videos. Sometimes I get so excited doing these videos sharing everything I love I forget some of the main points I wanted to make!!

[@OutOnTheTiles]

Your channel is just so great. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of these epic songs. Thanks for your hard work I really appreciate it. Jimmy is just so great.

Once again Carl... You brought us another great installment of Zep!... I really have enjoyed this series because it got me into going back and learning some riffs and stuff I've forgotten or really didn't bother to sit my butt down and learn... I was never much into really learning "Other Peoples" music if you will.. I always had this fear of cross contaminating my playing style. But ultimately I got to understand you have to learn somewhere along the line.. And for me.. This was a great reminder.. Thank you again for this incredible insightful series.. ,,V

[@Splattle101]

Cool video again, Carl, thank you. That's quite the journey! Regarding Willi Dixon and this song, I'm trying to dig up an old Jimmy Reed recording (I think it's on a CD packed away on a shelf) in which he delivered the lines: "Took a little walk down down, messed and got back late, find a note here waiting for me, said 'Daddy I just can't wait" I was gobsmacked because like every other Zep Head, I knew the estate of Willi Dixon won the copyright. I had no idea Plant had ransacked Jimmy Reed as well! On reflection it's not surprising, since Plant was a genuine blues fan and afficionado even at age 19. He would've soaked up that lyric like all the others: he was marinated in it. 😁

[@francoamerican4632]

I always thought it was "took a little walk downtown"?

[@kiljoy3254]

You mention the “vibe” and that is what had me spellbound about this album in my youth... the chemistry was amazing on Zep II... also Zep I, I think the only other album that really came close wasAC/DC’s Let There Be Rock. I was actually a bit disappointed by the guitar on Zep III and particularly Zep IV, it just didn’t have that raw ‘old amp pushed to the brink of overload’ that they had on Zep II. Four Sticks, Misty Mountain Hop and When The Levee Breaks most notably. That said, the tele on Stairway was phenomenal (it amazes me that such an iconic tone has seldom, if ever, been reproduced... also the solo on Since I’ve Been Loving You had a fantastic sound. As I understand it, Page was frustrated that he just couldn’t get a tone to do that song justice until, by chance, he discovered a small Vox amp that just happened to be at the studio) .. I think actually the univibe sound Hendrix had on Machine Gun, might have suited Levee Breaks. I use to listen to Zep II over and over and over... never got sick of it... Plant’s vocal was astounding!

@@CarlBaldassarreMusic know exactly what you mean. Do find it refreshing looking/listening to these fabulous songs via someone else's eyes/ears. Said to someone recently, 'no matter how long you play the Guitar or listen to a song, you'll always hear and learn something new. Especially playing an instrument. There's many ways and variations to play the same bunch of notes. Don't ever think the journey is over and you have it figured out, that's when one stops learning'. This was after he told me he'd figured out the Zeppelin Catalog in a couple months and was moving on. Sigh!! So many reasons that is sad. Is it really learning to enjoy and understand? Or memorize how to play to say "ya I know that"? The journey has so much to enjoy along the way. Take care. Can hardly wait to see what's next.

Mr. Baldassarre, what a tremendous series this has been! You're insights and analysis of this album have been educational and inspiring! After watching them, I just want to go and pickup my guitar and start playing! May I be so bold as to make a suggestion/recommendation? As big a fan as I am of Mr. Page and LZ, my reason for wanting to play guitar started in 1971, when I purchased the Humble Pie album "Humble Pie Performance Rockin' The Fillmore". Although I have a few players such as Mr. Page, Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell, Mark Farner, Alex Lifeson, Jeff Beck, Gary Moore and Peter Green that I consider as favorites, from that day on, Peter Frampton has been my overall favorite guitar player. It was his playing on that album that inspired me to play. His style was like nothing I had heard before or since for that matter, with his melodic approach mixed with jazz. I would love for you to analyze and hear your thoughts on his playing. Cheers, MB

🗨Thanks so much for directions to this video! One of my fave Led Zeppelin songs. "Blues sandwich" completely sums it up. 🙂 Even in southern England, this kind of music resonates, as we were right by the railway, canal and stream - and only around 30 miles from Pangbourne, where Jimmy Page lived by the river. The exotic riff always makes me think of the sounds swans make when agitated! Exciting music for excitable people. 😃 I didn't realize the band improvised it - is that why at one point John Paul Jones holds the root note rather than echoing the riff as he does for the rest of the number? 👁‍🗨

I think so. I think they were just stretching out the track and caught a nice vibe on tape during that pass and used that as the bed track for the overdubs. Passion and groove over perfection is a lost priority these days! That’s why so much “music” is sterile to my ears.

@@CarlBaldassarreMusic: I second that emotion. The track's very tight where it has to be, but has that organic naturalness. One of my other fave bands is Mott the Hoople, and their early producer, Guy Stevens, wouldn't usually allow mistakes to be corrected (even as far as they could be from '69 - '71). There are some moments of complete chaos, especially on Threads of Iron (Mad Shadows), but they work! Same with Led Zeppelin's first three albums at least.

Carl - Great video! Give us some info on your Lester. The inlays are not your standard Standard inlays. The first also has an inlay? Did you have some custom work done? Tks.

Do you have any way of knowing (perhaps from live footage) who is playing the cowbell during the rock portion? It's so easy to overlook background percussion like the cowbell but for some reason in this song it just really, really carries something through the entire rock portion. If it's Bonham doing that on top of all his other work then that is truly amazing but I suspect it might be Plant. I'd love to know.
