Hello Sir! An excellent lesson - well structured and clear - a great place to get the feel and essence of this song. The guitar solo is spot on to my ear. However...I think some of the finer nuances of how Page plays this have been missed! Some of these things I won't divulge, as I enjoy the mystery around Zep recordings too much! But the 'chord in question', is almost certainly not G9 - the B of the previous E chord really wants to rise to C. If you play an F chord there, you'll hear the true movement of this section. It's a semi tone shift up from E. The notes being GCF (maybe D in the bottom?). What you have done is re harmonize the F note. Nice! but not the same. Also - Physical Graffiti contains songs recorded at different times, including sessions from the time of the 4th album, and we can look to Rock and Roll for clues as to how he might have been thinking at the time, or things he was typically doing at that time. EG, the power chord run down from D to Bb sounds a bit 'blocky' to me...

Nah, I disagree on "the chord in question". The tab in Complete Recordings book has it (0)-10-10-10-X-X. Which would be a (G7sus4/E)? Check out this Crowes/Page show at around 4:00 in. Exactly what he's doing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIezmJ6jl6t7n8k

I know the 2000 Page/Crowes tour has the most clear vid of this tune, but his playing on that tour was arranged to be part of a guitar trio, and it likely wouldn't be "exactly" how he would have played it had Zep ever tackled it live. Check out Custard from the Outrider tour. Just Page on guitar and a more likely "Live Zep" version. (Albeit he used the candy apple red Les Paul which he had fitted w/ a b-bender post Zep 😉 It was originally a gold top LP Special.)

[@GuitarNinjas]

I also referenced the Page/Plant tours which is likely the most "Zepp'ish" version

[@gerardosaucedo1309]

Never stop Pageing.

[@GuitarNinjas]

Always Rep the Zep

[@douglaschristine8387]

I agree with the G9 and he likes that chord.. I like the bend you do on the beginning riff. I noticed it right away.

The Captain at work!!!!!!

[@GuitarNinjas]

Always

[@72911RS]

The chord in question at 8:44 min? So close. Not sure what he does live now but on the studio recording i think you need to move that B in the G9 chord up to a C. What does that make it? An F/G chord? Whatever it is it's very Steely Dan or Earth Wind and Fire. How about that Jimmy, sneeking that in on us?

[@dlo2334]

Cool lesson..requesting the solo

[@burncity5090]

What marshall head is that?

[@russkundalini249]

Great vid 👍

[@russkundalini249]

Not even Zeppelin could play it live well !! lots of black magic involved in the studio Fukin brilliant track , shame it can't be duplicated , guess that's the way it ought to be... Don't know how I'm going to tell you... I can't play with you no more...

[@Guitaroverkill]

Close, but not exactly how Page plays it.

[@russkundalini249]

Page could not duplicate this even I've not seen or heard anything CLOSE it's pure black magic one off type of shit, in the studio off Ur nut on drugs One time take 🙏☮️

[@Guitaroverkill]

@@russkundalini249 plenty of videos of Page playing the correct chords on KZbin

[@russkundalini249]

👍

[@craigsimmons7022]

nice package 👍

[@GuitarNinjas]

Cheers! LMAO

[@Ottbucket]

Too bad you added vibrato on the F#. That ain't the REAL way to play it.

[@GuitarNinjas]

Ya, too bad... thanks for the feedback, hope you're having a great day!

[@artworkbysteve1]

Not even close

[@GuitarNinjas]

[@russkundalini249]
