Just goes to show you it doesn't have to be complicated to be a great riff.

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull mentioned something that applies to this during The BBC Sessions interview. Ian and Martin Barre were talking about the riff in Aqualung, and Anderson first hummed the riff to Aqualung, Whole Lotta Love, Sunshine of Your Love, Iron Man, Smoke on the Water, and…Beethoven’s famous 5th Symphony. He followed that with “they’re all the same 4 or 5 notes, just arranged by a different monkey!” “It doesn’t have to be complicated to be a great riff.”

@@jamesthe-doctor8981 James or should I say Doctor that's very cool, what and interesting and very true statement by Ian Anderson I've never heard that one before, and I love Jethro tull. Locomotive breath, skating away etc I haven't listened to them in awhile except for a concert on KZbin last month. It was nice to see Ian is still doing well. We're losing so many of my generations rock heroes lately. I guess I get older but I just refuse to be old! Great comment tho. Have a good one. Peace ✌!

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

@@stephenlandry9343 thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it. The BBC Sessions set has a good deal of interview time with Anderson and Barre. Unfortunately, Ian Anderson isn’t really doing very well these days, though. It seems that although he never smoked or did drugs, he developed serious COPD, which he blames on the chemicals in the fog machine they used onstage for decades. With as active a showman as he’s always been, jumping around everywhere onstage, I’m sure he inhaled more than his share of that fog. What a shame!

[@stephenlandry9343]

@@jamesthe-doctor8981 well Doctor that sucks ! Ian avoided all the peer pressure from the dope scene which was so big back then just to get sick from theatrical chemicals. Man I hate to hear that. I will definitely check out the BBC specials. A man on one leg rocking a flute successful became a rock star what balls he had. His determination to me is the definition of the as thick as a brick! Thanks for the info I'll put it to good use.

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

@@stephenlandry9343 you’re welcome. Anderson talked about it in this latest season of The Big Interview With Dan Rather, so it’s very recent. He says he has better days and worse days, and during the interview was a good day.

[@rubievale]

This is the first time I've seen the riff played correctly, as most people show the version without the open D. Kudos

[@FuriousGeorge_]

first time? you must not be on youtube much

[@joaobrandi]

The picking is alternate and not all down strokes. Upward when picking the D string and 5th fret of A string.

[@Factory_Muff]

Nope.he’s still missing a note. There’s 3 open low e’s being palm muted. Jimmy Page is a tricky little bastards. Even Joe Walsh who unveiled the secret of that bend still misses that third note. Remarkably, that internet hottie plays it right. Hang on. Let me find the link. kzbin.infoqOKB3EqHJeA?feature=share

[@IrishMobster9000]

Holy crap, I've always wondered how to get that nuance, now I know. Thank you Marty! Always thought it was a slight overlay in the master track.

[@davidross4102]

I’d be 99% sure that there were two guitar tracks, one with the slight bend and one without it and the band and the producers just liked the way it sounded, this is an incredibly creative and accurate way to play it

[@judythepunk461]

Such a simple but fantastic sounding riff. Things like this make me feel like i can make it big too haha

[@stevepolychronopoulis]

I've seen a bunch of people play it and always thought it sounded 95% correct, but that bend with the droning open D is the missing ingredient. Nicely done.

[@Levelheadd]

Exactly! I think I saw a vid of Joe Walsh explaining this a couple years ago 👍🏻

[@dannydoyle8340]

I definitely thought this was going to be a bit where you would say "YOU NEED A GIBSON TO PLAY THIS AUTHENTICALLY" 😆

[@robertschoettler6676]

These shorts have helped my playing abilities GREATLY!!! Thank you!

[@natnat1975]

Try this: playing it with all up and down strokes (kinda like you're strumming it). That's the way Jimmy plays it and it comes out a whole lotta more natural! Very light emphasis on the palm muted open E. It may take a moment or two (or three or four) to get used to, especially if you're very used to playing it with just down strokes. But, I changed to this method, and it sounds and FEELS much more natural. Just give it a shot. See what you think.

[@katshotz6033]

Very cool Marty. Soon as my left eye cataract done(right done last week)can’t wait to start learning my Ukulele . A wonderful gift from a cousin. Nice Uke by the way !

[@DemilitionKiwi]

Thats an electric guitar woman

[@WickedLix]

Everything about this comment is amazing

[@JoshSingleTon2]

Aight grandma, maybe you need more than some eye cataract done.

[@TexturaI]

@@JoshSingleTon2 how would u know she got a ukulele and not a guitar.

[@splashesin8]

I wouldn't be able to wait until the left eye was done, before playing with that ukulele❣️ Hee❣️ I picked up my guitar again after being blind for the duration. Decided to play with it for my own comfort with nothing to prove. Every day my playing has just gotten better from just playing for the fun of it. Then I found these wonderful you tube channels after you tube became accessible with pc screen reader software and iphones. Now it is such a joy to learn more and more new things to play, and work on parts of my technique. I love Marty's channel. He explains things so that I can figure it out without seeing it, particularly different techniques that I never caught onto as a younger sighted person. Meanwhile, I am celebrating 🥳 your cataracts getting fixed❣️ ...and you having a fun new Uke❣️🌸😃💖

[@Millennial_Mike]

Like a natural chorus effect.

[@rocktorrocks]

Page is such a genius. Thanks for this! Also Is that a new LP? Looks awesome!

[@lyndonfox3835]

Love your tutorials because I know most of what you teach but you always add a little extra to bring the song alive. Thank you marty

[@Mario-Chunks]

FINALLY SOMEONE TEACHES THE RIGHT WAY TO PLAY IT!!!!

[@NiftyMitts.]

Joe Walsh reveals this while apologizing to jimmy on one of gibsons KZbin videos hahah good stuff.

[@akallio9000]

I seen him do it on a youtube video where he shows how to setup a Gibson Les Paul.

[@richd1913]

Ride the open E throughout the riff also. Makes it sound like there's a chorus of guitars and it's a bit heavier. But you definitely still need that nuance of bending that A and hitting that D

[@randythompson1957]

Kids have it made these days. It was impossible to get a look at the guitarist playing the song back in the day. Now days they are teaching us.

[@soundscapematrix]

Yup !!!! and there it is !!!

[@thomassmiththekingbee]

You explain it so well!

[@mattgordon1977]

Killer man!! Layman’s terms!! You can rip it up if you wanted to!!!

[@bodichair]

Thanks, Marty, Pulling the A and the open D string, I didn't know about it, and if it wasn't demonstrated, I probably would have heard it.

[@sasquatchberries]

Saw that in a video of Billt Idols guitarist a while back. Open D with the bend is key! Good grab.

[@geekpunk5159]

That blues snorty sauce!!! Pure Zeppelin!

[@tonefish3825]

The first "Short" that I have liked.

[@novva.4176]

I genuinely think Marty might be the greatest guitar teacher of all time

[@espojespo5]

Good call on the open string with the bend. That's the key to making it sound authentic like the record.

[@Richard_Lush]

Thanks again Marty. Awesome. 👍

[@CarpeDiem23]

Marty your short vids are the best 👍

[@wesleyalan9179]

Whole Lotta DIFFERENCE! LOL!

[@joaobrandi]

I guess Page uses down and up picking ? Upward when picking open D and 5th fret A string

[@camzilla_does_music834]

Oh damn I did this by feel while listening to the track, tas pretty cool

[@jorgefprosper]

Magnificent guitar

[@dannymemmory5094]

So many people play the D5 Power Root on the 5th String me Include for years .. Then I listed to it again and could hear the Disonant bend almost a minor 2cnd Interval to the open D to almost D#/Eflat

[@palizaguitar2761]

you made my day Marty

[@jonathanqueen3294]

Could you please teach “a reason to fight” by disturbed? It’s a beautiful acoustic part.

[@craigcyr6840]

Woah thanks I want to learn how to play so I figured I'd check out some riffs That's awesome dude

[@baronsting]

This used to be a secret few knew about although he is not quite getting it right that's the key 99% of people don't get right. Now to avoid over bending but still getting the out of phase sound I do this "bend the A string up towards the E with your index finger instead of pulling down like in the video, remember it's a very subtle bend so try it like that."

[@germandulanto8249]

Great riff

[@joshhendley4437]

This is my most favourite Led Zeppelin song Marty

[@YNotThough]

"The Secret Sauce" This is why l have always loved your suggestions Marty, you teach like a musician, not a teacher. Ya know what I mean?

[@TheDonsRiche]

Reminds me a bit of Black Dog. Paige does this stuff a lot. Its awesome.

[@Johnny_Dregs]

Might just be my ear, but it sounds off, like you are missing a note on the PM open e (or scratch as here). The PM would be up, down, up, chord.. repeat.

[@jacobdaniel8239]

So many people miss that

[@TarotTarot1]

I found your channel last year and it’s been absolute GOLD!!! Thank you💕

[@wilmoney4619]

Yeeeessss finally someone playing this riff correctly

[@jimjamjerry]

Thank you for this!

[@daxmojones9025]

I've seen some folks suggest bending that note down. But bending it up is the correct way because you finger will mute the D string otherwise.

[@orangederp]

just tried it both ways and can definitely confirm that going up works better

[@fronesis01]

Thanks Marty!

[@carlbaumeister3439]

Love the secret sauce, and beautiful LP!

[@imeatingafunnyfinger]

Great Scott Marty you’re right! It seems so obvious too, open d whilst playing d on a string and then open e whilst playing the e power chord on the a string, would never have guessed the bend though, that’s why you da man 🤙

[@jameserickson1330]

It also sounds like Page hits that E power chord just behind the beat as well. Correct me if I’m wrong but that’s what I’m hearing and it’s killer.

[@RobertoSantos-jj9zt]

WOW he nails it. That sound! Perfect o

[@guidobrunellijr.3]

Really enjoying these shorts

[@especie8472]

Por fin alguien q conoce del asunto Feliciades !!!!!!!

[@lorinclint476]

This is amazing and really cool!

[@gonr.2426]

Thats what I like Marty !!! thanks !! keep rocking \m/

[@WhatsUpWhitey]

Love you Marty!

[@Woodstock42]

Everyone is teaching this lick as all down picking. If you watch Jimmy Page playing this, he's strumming this riff up and down and it really makes a difference in the way it sounds. The d starts down and the e is up. The e power chord is stummed up and down as well.

[@AnonyMous-rr1rv]

Love ya uncle Marty!!

[@skylargunnarson4370]

I love that song good tutorial I learn best your way

[@psutter5]

Sweet! The little things.

[@kennethlippertshauser3376]

Thanks teacher you're awesome brother

[@joxyjoxyjoxy1]

Great tip! Seen a thousand guys play that w/out the bend or open D. Always thought he got that sound by doubling the gtr.

[@jcburger733]

Hey Marty, thanks for the one trick to play Whole Lotta Love. Really appreciate it!!

[@jayrussell3796]

I always thought that was a double tracked guitar ! 👍Thanks

[@flaherty199]

It's all about that secret sauce man, Makes the riff more tasty.

[@thebaddog4104]

I'm so uncoordinated with hitting the right strings i make a zeppelin song sound like a crashing tour bus in slow motion. 😎

[@dondamon4669]

Didn’t think you was going to stop I was becoming hypnotised

[@comment.highlighted]

Pretty cool. Thanks 🙂

[@louc6635]

Yep, that's it

[@barackmycat9448]

By golly you`re right.

[@MrSkunk1964]

its magic...

[@LoneFishermanAUS]

So crisp

[@dillonmacpherson3350]

I always slide from the 5 to 7 on the E string and like pull off to the 5 on the A to give it the greasy vibe

[@KrysLynne82]

You're so rad Marty and I love all your guitars!

[@davet.3587]

Sweet sauce Marty

[@chrisdiceart]

Secret sauce! Love it! How about the riff in "You shook me" by AC/DC - Everybody plays it but it never sounds quite right....

[@triton5342]

Still my favorite riff to play i just love that dirty sound :)

[@everlymarshall9179]

Huh, interesting, never thought/heard of this, but it does sound so much better like that!

[@LoneFishermanAUS]

Fuck yea man nailed it

[@andyc5729]

Steve Stevens called. He wants his lesson back.

[@Cthulhu_Awaken]

Totalling nailed the tone, by the way.

[@ozoneswiftak]

That gibson!

[@JohnMcNicholas]

Good stuff!

[@timbrower9642]

thank u

[@evangarrett9775]

So when you gonna do eruption? Been dying to get my hands on it but i dont really like all the other tutorial teachers

[@alansimpson8962]

Marty is a you tube superstar

[@michaellee1216]

A lot of people suck at showing how to play....nice work.

[@blackhd92]

The secret sauce……….oh yeah

[@shanebryan1839]

Oh hell yeah!!!

[@louc6635]

Came from his old skiffle days

[@marksozolins3246]

secret sauce, love it

[@PJF1981]

By God, the man is right!

[@marcomodena8076]

Thank you bro , but i already knew . 👍✌

[@SiloSoundStudios]

I drive guitar players nuts when I tell them to beat the open d like that. Its the ONLY way to get the riff right. Same with four sticks

[@debbiecampbell5519]

Wow wowwwww!!! Great !!!!

[@bandpassmess]

SLOW DOWN MARTY MIGHT HURT YO SELF 😎😎😎

[@virn756]

Hello could you please do 12 days of christmas also?

[@JayRedding12_12]

Oh! Thank you. I've been playing that riff wrong for over 20 years lol

[@sendasantiguasgiddings]

Nice with the D’s ringing
