Tangerine (Lesson) - Led Zeppelin

[@SirBitingBen]

Always been one of my favorite Led Zepp songs. I personally feel that the slide is what gives the song it's magic. I always find myself wishing I had four arms and could just play everything

[@philfyphil]

You need to get yourself a an audio interface and record some things then you can.

[@TheRealSlickRick63]

By the way...thanks for sticking to this format of lessons. Straight forward and no fluff. Almost always 100% accurate. I've been watching you for a LONG time. Keep up the good work, brother.

[@jeffreybuckingham3782]

Already knew the song, just wanted to hear that Guitar again. That thing sounds Amazing!

[@keithnoriego6465]

Heard!

[@johnrozier1129]

Vintage Gibson Hummingbird.

[@goodgulfgas]

I can’t ever recall hearing you sing this much! Keep it up JJ.

[@badguitar5653]

Saw Zeppelin at Cincinnati Riverfront Stadium in '77. Crowd management was nonexistent and we were jammed against the closed doors (this was a half-year before the Who tragedy) and one side of the crowd would toss empty beer bottles into the air toward the other end of the crowd. Then someone started throwing oranges, and an entire segment of the nervous crowd started singing "Tangerine." Calmed things down for a bit, until the doors opened and the bloody stampede began in earnest. That scene plays in my mind whenever I hear this song.

[@ursafan40]

+Badguitar I don't miss "general admission " seating at all. Looking back it makes me wonder how more people didn't die. Some of those crowds were scary.

[@badguitar5653]

I can remember the floor of the lobby, just after you passed the turnstyles but before entering the auditorium proper, being splashed with blood and piles of shoes. I wasn't surprised at all when those people were killed at the Who concert at this very same venue. Surprising it didn't happen sooner. Good concert though! And Plant kept pausing and telling the crowd to "move...back...everyone .. take..one..step..back." He could see people being smashed up against the stage barrier. Then they'd start playing again.

[@markcoll5761]

These are the best guitar lessons on KZbin and it's not even close. So accurate to the record!

[@aaronsmith8265]

What a great demonstration! Clear on where placement is and no filler, straight to the point

[@raystargazer]

Arguably one of the best songs they ever made. A friend dragged me to a band practice in someone's house. Never heard of them, but as it turns out I knew a couple of them and they were all absolutely excellent. They've long since gone on to different gigs, but this song never left. Always considered it too difficult, but you just kicked me in the ass. lol. Thanks.

[@donheller231]

Thank you! Can never get tired of this lesson. You rock!

[@harigeorgeson5885]

Love all of the acoustic songs on LZ III. Thanks for doing.

[@fchampd4512]

But hats off should have been replaced by hey hey, 100x Times better

[@RollingStoneZzzzz]

James, I always get blown away when ! see you grab a string and turn the tuner a wee to get the proper sound! I am 65 and STILL need a tuner!!! DAM!!!

[@rs19147]

Your lessons are taking me from beginner stages to the next level. Thank you man. I play a DR212 12 string and I was falling out with it a bit till I learnt a few things from your videos. Alternate tunings, suspended chords and walk downs. Sounds great now.

[@bryanmannoia8410]

one of my favorite tunes to play. learned this one close to 35 years ago, just dropped in to see how you play it. pretty much the same. as always, thank you!

[@dphipps3631]

Another great run through James. Excellent song.

[@sibyl999]

I love you you play this! You are so skilled and that’s a nice guitar.

[@noname1st139]

I love how you cover them little pieces that most people wouldn't even pay attention to,my favourite tutor on here, you love all the music I'm into, especially when it comes to the stones and zeppelin ✌️

[@nedhasnoidea6006]

Got to say I'm learning more from you then other musicians! Love your old channel, don't stop, and Thanks.

[@paulixdaplayer1777]

I’ve been a huge fan of your content for years. Thank you for being you 🙏

[@chuckt4558]

You absolutely have some of the best, and accurate lessons out there. Thank you so much them!

[@mooglen5948]

Clicked for the hummingbird, stayed for the lesson (and now I can play it!)

[@scott5411]

I have been able to learn so many songs from you - thanks

[@WinstonOBoogie007]

Great lesson, thanks. Just recently got back into vinyl and Page’s countdown on vinyl is super cool. He’s whispering really low, you can hear his breath more than his voice. Very cool 😎

[@palacerevolution2000]

two things: it is good to hear you singing; and : I've always heard that "Tangerine.." part different. That is does Am - G -D-C ( except the last line "for the queen"). I realize I have never intently listened to the song in ages; the other guitars in there.

[@Elicid1965]

Just wanna thank you for all your lessons! Best on youtube.I use your videos before gigs all the time when the band I'm playing with that night throws me a new song list and I need to brush up on certain songs. I got an email today to learn 'Gallows Pole' & 'Tangerine' by Zep for an acoustic show tonight and I could 'kind of remember them but....LOL. 5 minutes with your videos and good to go! Greatly appreciated!

[@Internume]

Hey, I am learning guitar and learned some songs thanks to you and your old channel. I just saw today your final video of your old channel, and I wanted to thank you for your lessons, you go right to the point, and even if it's not like the original one, I really like how you play it. Thank you for all dude. I will continue to look your videos on this channel. See you !

[@oslofaircloth3629]

Yep, one of my favorite tunes

[@a.garcia6161]

gorgeous

[@wingnut4two]

My favorite song off my favorite Led Zeppelin album!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@timmyers8257]

Love it. I feel like I'm learning from a friend who doesn't get pissed at my questions.👍

[@Chief1987]

11 out of 10 on this lesson/clip JJ. Cheers for posting some Led Zeppelin..... you'd think artists wouldn't worry about copying rights seeming they've made their money..... and with people like JJ, they keep the music alive and relevant.

[@charlesschwartz307]

Great lesson of a beautiful song. Thanks for posting

[@palacerevolution2000]

I remember during the Page/Plant tour when he just played the chords during the solo, he would use his thumb on the low E. In the D and F he had the F# and F on low E w/ thumb. But that just something extra - love all your stuff.

[@Sasketchejuana_man]

I picked up a 12 string acoustic in a shop and even though having never learned this song, I strummed an Am to G immediately recognized the progression pretty quickly and figured out the song. Ended up buying the 12 string and can't stop playing this song lol came here to see if I wasn't losing my mind about the tuning

[@mamanmatty]

This is going to be really helpful. Your part the reason I’m still plugging away 3 years on :) ty

[@brunosantos6079]

Your channel profile photo is of the lead singer of Spinal Tap 😅😅😅 Very cool... I discovered this band watching the Simpsons... hugs here from Brazil... I always watch your videos congratulations on your dedication...😂😂

[@fogelly]

Hi, wonderful song and guitar ! Thank you for the lesson !❤

Good looking and sounding Gibson Hummingbird you got.

[@handgunner1911]

nice bro i really love this song im a 40 yr bass player and i picked up an acoustic for fun thanks for posting!!

[@johnklein4558]

Love this tune! Thanks PT !

[@TheRealSlickRick63]

My 2 favorite LZ albums are probably their least popular..LZ3 and Presence. Such tasty things on both. Something about Tangerine though, always reminds me of Tha Stonez. Angie or Wild Horses .....its is Wild Horses. Almost the damn same song, actually.

[@ursafan40]

Agreed. Do all your friends disagree with you, too? :)

[@jimofthehill]

brilliant .. thanks

[@hughdunbar9823]

I love that Dreadnaught guitar of yours there. Also your videos are really good.

[@rayclark9643]

Good job James but it needs a 12 string to really bring it out:)

[@planetclownfishbrain7052]

I didn't have to learn guitar to get laid when I was young, but it is a good back-up plan for when you get older.

[@JK-wt5cq]

Excellent

[@stevesatterwhite5141]

great sounding Gibson ...

[@carandme1]

A favorite of mine. Thanks.

[@jamessharier7529]

Très bonne leçon.....et excellent T-shirt avec un personnage de BD adoré en France !

[@JI_Boi]

Wish led made way more acoustic songs

[@TheSupy96]

I'm very late to the party, but I've always enjoyed this song and my mom's name was Tangerine.

[@lowellcalavera6045]

Jesus....That ‘Bird.... 🤩

[@jamesjames9275]

It wouldn't win any beauty contests, but it plays like butter and sounds glorious.

[@lowellcalavera6045]

@@jamesjames9275 it certainly does. I picked one (a1970s’ model) 14-15 years ago in a shop in Arizona. Never felt a guitar in my body, before. It was a weirdly spiritual experience.

[@sliversharma]

It's strange nobody likes or dislikes your videos. INSANITY!

Sweet

[@marshall3524]

Beautiful, thank .

[@adamscottv]

Love the sound of Gibson acoustics

The one jimmy used on the 1st album is the best sounding acoustic ive ever heard, too bad it wasnt his

[@markmartin3221]

Thanks Bobby Page 👍

[@wilhelmrogue1]

Verrry coool....

[@digiorno1142]

The tuning is exactly 40ct below standard

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

My Gold Top just got launched of the guitar (catapult) stand by my teenager and headstock snapped clean off, this made me feel better.

[@ursafan40]

OUCH! Sorry to hear that. It's that extreme angle on the Gibson headstocks.

[@vvg8361]

Sing good man!!! Play very good too

[@junglegrowler]

Thanks again, Go Bengals/ Go Bills.

[@MrBngwatson]

Brilliant thank you!

[@Ivan-ze7oz]

Is it epiphone you got in the video?

[@redhorsereincarnated5040]

I thought the walk down was only on three strings and playing the middle note twice. So c-e-e-g then b-d-d-g.

[@giorgiomastranangeli6068]

Your guitar is beatiful. What guitar is it?

[@jamesjames9275]

That’s a Gibson Hummingbird.

[@j.dtruths5577]

James, is there a way to "Loop" that underlying Rhythm and play the solo while it loops? Just curious, such a wonderful song. Jeff ( Toronto )

[@robynanglin3296]

❤

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Is that 2nd chord a C/G? Super lesson gonna pull out Led III when get home in a week🎸☕🎶🚛 BTW did ya have a cold one before starting this? great singing along too

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

Beauty

[@bikebum2006]

Is there a tab of your version anywhere?

[@jamesjames9275]

I don't know, I don't use tabs.

[@BrianJDumas]

Think it's tuned down to 428 hz. 🙂

[@jeffsadon552]

Page is a genius to bad he hasn't made any new stuff

[@da324]

Yea, me too, but he's living in the past.

[@adamwarlock5286]

Coverdale is hinting at more Coverdale Page to come. Should be interesting.

[@josephegger6007]

I think the tuning is 425

[@Hotitalianman]

How many guitars do you have?

[@michaeladams7489]

The silenced mine

[@BrunoSantos-uy1fc]

Please, the tuning is like?

[@jamesjames9275]

It's standard, but tuned down a little bit. Tune to the E chord I showed at the beginning. Sorry, but I only speak English and I can't explain it in any other language.

[@crisprtalk6963]

did you change the saddle on that guitar?

[@jamesjames9275]

No.

i have that guitar. top of the neck backside v5

Not any more. :) But yes, he did on the recording and on live versions.

Do people give you guitars to use in these videos or do you have a sick amount of them..?

[@jamesjames9275]

On what planet do people just give away guitars to other people?

[@ursafan40]

+James James You will find this hard to believe. My Burchette Sloped D was originally a gift from one well respected NC singer/songwriter, to his friend and another well respected singer/songwriter. I picked it up when the gift recipient was down on his luck and was reducing his guitar collection.

[@47crownmould]

I can hear that pedal steel clearly, though it's not in the video.

Nice. You SOB I'm in. like and sub.
