I totally get your frustration and see this like so many things in life, a few idiots can ruin things for the majority. But only if you let them. Btw, I am 65, a Wake Forest guy, bought a nice Martin acoustic last year, and can only play what I gain from your great videos and would not know a tab if it bit me. I play by ear, admit I am pitiful, but love every minute of it. Please keep making videos if for no other reason, we can see your T-shirt collection, yes sir.

Really great lesson James James, thanks. I always thought the defending Bassline part was C, hold to B and on to Bb but the chord fits perfect. I've watched Jimmy playing live and he plays the G to D part ("maybe more than enough") like he's sliding the bottom of a G barre chord up to the bottom of a D barre chord on 5th fret. That's the way I play and seems to fit nicely

I was playing along to the MSG live version today. I had too much delay on (due to playing a bunch of U2 songs earlier! LOL) ...I don't think Page used any, maybe tons of reverb? Anyhow, the thing is with the live versions, there's also a lot of solo riffing that Jimmy is doing in the middle bits, going from first position as you show, up to ninth to 11th or 12th or whatever, and he doesn't really waver much from that for the solos, actually some of it is played even higher, until he settles back in for that wind up back to the intermediate rhythm riff that brings you back to the main riff. He keeps hammering on and off tons of notes at 2nd to 3rd fret the early part of the solo, bassier low parts, then ascends to the higher frets etc. Just watching what Pagey does on the MSG version is very instructive. I like playing this on my 12-string too, but it's ac. electric, so good luck playing the solo stuff on that guitar. I wonder why Pagey didn't play this much on the double neck, when he could easily have done so? Or maybe he hated playing solo stuff on the double? Although didn't he use that for Stairway?
@jamesjames927511 ай бұрын
I think the song’s position is the set list might have influenced what guitar he used for it. Anyway, I posted a play-along demo of a live version (Knebworth) that shows the fret positions for the soloing. It’s not note-for-note, but it gives an idea of where he was parked on the neck.
@thiscorrosion90011 ай бұрын
@@jamesjames9275 Yep, I watched your Knebworth version as well. I'm gonna try to play along with that version soon. I meant I would have thought he might've wanted the 12-string handy as well for this song, but maybe not, it's a pain in the ass live. Easier just to do it on the LP. I"m terrible even doing the opening closing riffs, my fingers are small and short etc., always had trouble playing this song. But I manage.

14:00 it's easier if you use the same finger for 4-6-4, as in slide up to 6 AND back to 4, instead of changing the finger and then sliding the other one back to 2. That way you use index on 2 and ring finger on 4-6-4 then back to index on 2. And that way it sounds more like Jimmy too.
