That's the Way (Guitar Lesson) - Led Zeppelin

[@georgegeysen6499]

Let’s give it up for James … he closed his channel 2 years ago, and I still come back to it for tips. The man is really an excellent teacher and he has given so much. Thank you brother. Peace and be well.

[@Fazzat333]

Hash tag me too:). Hopefully he returns

[@aldoquargnolo2285]

Without dwelling on useless explanations, with a simple and understandable way of explaining himself even to those who don't speak English very well, with precise examples on the position of the fingers, without protagonism (he never shows his face) and above all without asking anything, for the sole pleasure of teaching, this man is the best guitar teacher ever to appear on KZbin. Many of us are grateful to him. Thank you for everything you do and have done dear James.

[@nov20five]

When you break it down like this, you come to realize how exquisitely beautiful the guitar part really is...

[@jamescassidy3995]

You also realise how incredibly easy it is to play a lot of Jimmy’s stuff. Real basic chords in open tunings he got from Bert Jansch & others.

[@joelhague5515]

@@jamescassidy3995 ya, I’m in complete agreement with you. Jimmy was a master of composing stuff that sounds harder to play than it actually was, whereas a good bit of Hendrix sounds like it will be easy, but is actually way, way harder than it sounds.

[@notmuchelsetodo]

Yes! I was thinking the same thing.

[@danemartin4155]

You are so correct. It's beautiful.

[@paulschrum4727]

I realized how amazingly beautiful it is in 1995 when the unplugged concert was published. It blows me away every time. I am only now starting to learn to play guitar, and this song is on my must-learn list.

[@Robertonnz]

I adore "That's the Way". It's a Summer song - don't know why? One of Zep's best in my opinion - magical!

[@davidflowers2020]

Yeah, it's really something, yesterday i saw you standing by the river... Beautiful .

[@davidflowers2020]

Page is so damn good

[@josephetherton]

My Dude!! You hit the nail on the head. Thats the Way is definitely a summer song. 🤘🤘

[@ElronHumpperdink]

I remember jogging 12 years or more ago… and this came on for me to hear the first time. By the end of the song, I was standing still just listening to the outro riff.

[@Robertonnz]

@@ElronHumpperdink I would do the same - magic

[@KOLDBLU3ST33L]

Thanks! This IS the type of zeppelin song that made me fall in love with the guitar.

[@stevescuba1978]

My all time favorite zeppelin tune! My guitar playing has finally passed the beginner stage, and I realize how much easier these great songs are than I perceived them to be. I know what I'll be annoying my wife with for the foreseeable future! Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@mick947]

Straightforward, accurate and easy to follow. Just so right!

[@Beachbumartist]

Man I love learning from you because your the only one on yt that seems to know how or takes the time to figure out the artist really recorded songs. No one else explains how Page probably recorded songs or if they do they never talk about it. Thank you very much for your time and palying the songs the way they recorded songs on the studio version.

[@justinhoff4517]

Carl brown is also very good at this. it's what really separates channels. but this man has definitely earned my sub because this is a great lesson

[@jlow532]

100% the other "guitar lesson" channels don't know zeppelin as well as this guy.

[@mickeywianecki9105]

I agree

[@marcolucadano7410]

Silver B and Jester summed it up perfectly. Been listening to this song for 40 years, and finally got it figured out on the guitar thanks to your attention to the tuning, your patience, slow breakdown, and repetition. I owe ya some frosty rounds at our local pub. Thanks James James!

[@chops152]

Hey PT/JJ, I just wanted to say "MUCH THANKS". I am one of your silent majority who came across your Privettricker channel a few years back. Each new video provided me with another valuable lesson. I love your no nonsense approach to playing a song and then simply breaking it down for us. Similar to you, I don't read tabs or music, and at 51 with two kids I don't have the time nor inclination to want to learn it now. I just want to play... and thanks to you I know I am much better than the day I first found your channel. Thanks again for your time, talent and unselfish willingness to share it with the rest of us. And for free... who and why would anyone ever complain about that. Good luck with the new channel... from just another guitar player who appreciates you and all that you have done. Peace!!!

[@gregt4202]

I'm late to the party, but I've been listening, and learning, from you for a few months. I then discovered privettricker and felt his lessons were good too. Didn't realize until tonight you are the same guy. Well, since all the comments are disabled privettricker, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed those videos. I've learned a few of the songs based on those lessons (Frampton and The Who, especially) and I wanted to say "Thanks!".

[@fredbloggs6085]

Best lesson on this I've found. Too many others seem to treat it simpler than it is and thus miss much of what's going on. Good work, thanks.

[@bazwillrun]

when he says "to me it sounds like" or "im hearing (whatever)" thats good enough for me !...from the old channel to this hes never wrong...one of the best on YT, always very clear and correct

[@andrewptob]

I wouldn't have guessed that this one is in open G. Very under-appreciated Zep song.

[@thecourierNCR]

That whole album. Except for Immigrant Song. A lot of people skip right over it and head straight to IV.

[@Ryan_Thompson_Guitarist]

+Bruce Wayne I prefer it than IV.

[@andrewptob]

+Bruce Wayne Yeah, which is a shame because it's a great album. I love the acoustic vibe, and the rockers are great, too. Celebration Day has always been one my favorite Zep songs.

[@deriangueldner23]

I just discovered this song a few weeks ago. I try to save some Zep here and there as they won’t be releasing too much anytime soon but man this song is heavenly

[@kensalazar5066]

@@deriangueldner23 just discovered this now? Your missing out on SO MUCH MORE...Do yourself a favor and just buy the whole catalog.....Theres a reason that their known as " The Mighty Led Zeppelin " BTW, there's a great live performance of this song on the Led Zeppelin DVD...

[@georgefrenzel4746]

"Getting close to pinball wizard territory" Haha I love it, exactly what I think whenever I strum crazy fast for a song

[@jimzeleny7213]

Very well played. I used to strum along in standard tuning but the open G really does the trick

[@pdlegend6829]

Awesome lesson....missed this one while you were still on YT.. Miss your lessons, BIGLY!

[@MarkJamesKlepaski]

Page is the master of using open strings within chords

[@jeffdempsey8740]

It’s impossible to pick a best Led Zeppelin song, but if you want to play something to someone who has never heard Led Zeppelin, just play “ That’s the Way “. Haunting and wonderful, it’s acoustic magic.

[@sonofprovence]

Life would be hard without Martin D-41s and good players like you. Thank you!

[@derek3logan]

just to let you know you changed my life as a guitarist... much for the better! been following you since privettriker and I've become the guitarist I always wanted to be because of your lessons... don't stop! You still have a lifetime of teaching guitarists and you have a gift and love of music not found in today's world....

[@F3502000]

One of my favorite Zeppelin albums. So many chill songs perfect for a lazy afternoon.

[@augmentedkeys5971]

Yet, it begins with Immigrant Song. Ha!

[@petesis7934]

I always enjoy your lessons/demonstrations and I always learn alot from you. I am always fascinated by your "ear" and how you can hear things that I never catch until you point it out. Thanks for sharing.

[@fishpaw53]

Just watched Privettricker's Final Video and I'm really glad you're still with us. I'm 65 and started playing less than 2 years ago. Your playing was inspirational to keep me going and helped me develop into a decent player. Thanks!!!!

Hey brother...thank you for continuing what I personally really appreciate...your ability to teach and have fun with playing and learning new songs...like yourself, I don't read tabs or music...I learned everything I know by ear or by getting together with friends for a little jam or guitar pull....I watched your last video...I am now, also a fan of the man..... I can appreciate why you decided to create a new site ..with positive feed back...I'm 51...and choose to be around good people that don't pick apart everything....thanks for all your tutorials...keep up the great work man...it's greatly appreciated...

So sorry you have to endure all that crap with the other site and so glad you didn't give up completely. I am in my 50s and only started trying to learn the guitar a few years ago. Videos like yours are a tremendous help to people like me who just want to enjoy the guitar in their own way. Thank you so much.

Hi PT: Just want to add my voice to those saner folk who not only enjoy your stuff but have also learned so much from your videos. From personal experience I know there are many loonies out there- guys who are riddled with jealousy and other mental baggage and it is incredibly sad and frustrating that these fools have been in your face. All I can say is good luck to you and thanks for your sublime vids which have helped this inept strummer become a better player.

[@jimmysamolyk4433]

Excellent lesson playing and killer sounding guitar thanks

[@flashy5150]

The thing that I love about Jimmy Page’s composing, is how he uses a bunch of different open tunings in his songs. Learning them really gets you “in-tune” or familiar with all these tunings, like for example the “Rain Song”, that song is “hard to play” for me.

[@ryanneel87]

Wanted to say thank you for continuing to provide solid, awesome videos of great guitar playing. I've learned a lot of my favorite tunes that I just couldn't "get" by myself through your videos and tutorials.

[@GeoZero]

You are an awesome inspiration, even after so many years of playing guitar I learn from every single one of your videos.

[@StringPlunker]

Thank you for all your videos. I like the way you do your videos. Don't change a thing. I am 56 and just started learning to play a few years ago. I have learned tons from just watching your play along videos. I guess I haven't commented much because I'm too preoccupied with my guitar after I watch you play. You help a lot of us guitar disciples understand what a really good rhythm player should be doing. There'd be a lot of disappointed people out there if you stopped making videos. Much appreciated. Thanx.

[@charrell39]

Thank you! Really appreciate your attention to detail. Helps a lot. Have no idea how you figured out the alternate tuning and chords. Well done.

[@sinsagoodmansbrother]

Hello James James! I just came from your last video under your other name. I listened to what you had to say... Let me say this... There are fools and idiots everywhere. I guess the price of a free and open society is that all the "Trolls" are loose and free to post whatever moronic idiotic things that's on their little ignorant minds... Anyway, I have learned a lot from you over the past years. I'm 59 years old and grew up on the Beatles, Stones, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Grand Funk Railroad, The WHO etc.. I'm now a Jazz musician. I also have a degree in Music Theory... I really enjoyed your story about teaching your brother guitar on the "old" KZbin from years ago.. I think you have encouraged many many more people to play guitar and you should be proud of that fact. Your lessons are very clear and I have watched may of them and said to myself, "Oh, so that's how you play that" Anyway, just wanted to say keep filtering out the infantile trolls and stay positive! The amount of hits that you have speak for itself. I think your lessons are great! Just like this one from Led Zepp lll... Keep the songs coming my fellow guitarist. Your lessons are great and I love a lot of the tunes you've picked to post... Peace Brother... Tom F...

Thanks so much James for the great lesson on this beautiful song. You have an amazing ear if you ask me. I couldn't find a decent tab on the internet in Open G tuning for this song so I wrote one for myself this afternoon based on my take of your lesson. Would be happy to send it to you.

[@yocky]

Wanted to add my thanks. Came across this 2 weeks ago when I was trying to play this song and ended up with all my guitars in some open tuning or other playing the Stones non-stop, and all down to you. I've just watched your last PT vid. I hope you don't take that channel down, it's made me a very happy man and I'm only getting started.

[@gcruishank9663]

[@trevorrawlinson3097]

Hi James, glad you stuck around I understand just what you said in your final video, people say some awful things hidden behind a screen, don't like it move on no charge,want more depth go pay a music teacher if that's what you want hell it's an hobby,So thank you for taking the time to do it.

[@jeffroberts_tunes]

You're always the goto choice when your profile shows up in a lesson query... you usually are spot on, teach well, and just have great attitude generally! Thanks so much for what you do!! On the final melody E F# G melody just after walking up to the big open D chord w no 3rd I think it may be a quick move to fretting B string on 3 / E string on 4 before getting the high G note rather than an open B string; it's a hard one to make flow as smoothly but seems to sound closer to my ear. He's got two guitar parts so it's hard to hear exactly.

[@thomassmith5826]

Thanks James ,for once again displaying such talent and precise lessons, Your the best I know,,
