Living Loving Maid lesson: • The REAL way to play L...
Jason Land breaks down the most often overlooked techniques to properly play Heartbreaker off of Led Zeppelin. You'll learn modified picking techniques, chord voicing options, proper rhythm and all of the other Jimmy Page playing secrets. This will be the first in a serious of Jimmy Page lesson videos we're calling, Zosocianado for your Page aficionados out there!

[@stevetruth2696]

A lot of the picking/strumming is Page's feel. Nice to see how it's done!

[@Strumrr]

of all the instructional vids here on KZbin, you are by far the best at showing/explaining things. I've been playing Heartbreaker for years and apparently incorrectly at certain points so thank you for the lesson!

[@GuitarNinjas]

Really appreciate that. Thank you for the message and for watching!!

[@antonchigurh3226]

An excellent lesson; highly instructive and (to my ear) sounds identical to the official studio version. Learned a lot here - thank you.

Jason I am looking four your Kashmir lesson. I dont care if its in French. You are the best instructor on the internet.

[@GuitarNinjas]

Thanks Rich! Too kind of you, I'm currently working on Kashmir but don't want to rush it. I like to do my research before putting out the content, I want to get it right. It's coming! I just produced a video asking for feedback on how to make the videos better, would love your feedback! Thanks for the support.

[@2424rocket]

A lot of guitar teachers out there in the world, and most of them stink. But you’re one of the good ones. Your explanations are concise, clear, and you go over everything note by note. You’re a breath of fresh air. Most Internet guitar teachers are just showing off and they have no clue how to teach. Good for you.

[@GuitarNinjas]

Thank you very much for the words and time, very kind of you, it's appreciated. Please feel free to join the newsletter for updates on new videos and unpublished content (link in notes section of the video). Thanks again, good start to my day.

[@Taras-Nabad]

Its video like this that will make people understand who Jimmy Page is. A true master. Well done.

[@rich5061]

Jason the only feedback I have is this. I personally live the way you instruct. You spend a little extra time on rhtyhm technique but spend Jayant enough time on the rest. Perfect. Would really love to see separate videos (call it part II) of the solos that go along with the zep tunes. Zep is The Godfather if Rock and your teaching approach is the best I’ve seen. So please give us the solos (and maybe the tabs ;)

[@rich5061]

Live should be “love” and Jayant should be “just” . My apologies for the typos

[@kenhudson7925]

Great lesson big fan of the nuances does really make a big difference

I used to play Heartbreaker on a record player. Then I moved up to CDs and now I stream it. Sounds great every time.

[@tubularbill]

Terrific lesson. Hope to see more in the future!

more coming soon! What would you like to see us cover? Thanks for the feedback

[@chrishale5608]

Well here’s my stupid question of the day. Just found this channel and want to know the head settings to get the sound that Page played? Thank you

[@GuitarNinjas]

Welcome! Page went through various iterations of sound. For the first record it's a combo amp (Sundragon) and a MK2 fuzz pedal! You can go with a supro and a knock off MK2 and get very close!

[@zoelovesbach5078]

This was so good my heart started breakin’ Just subbed

[@GuitarNinjas]

lol, thank you! would love to see a vid of you playing it! @guitar_ninjas on IG thanks for watching

[@danh7739]

I can play "Good Times, Bad Times" pretty well, but I'd very interested in how you count some of those part out it seems as if the Drum parts are coming in after the guitar. Best of Luck to ya and thank you for your time.

[@tubeamp2872]

That was great I've been working on it 2 weeks now and your tips really make the song sound studio version. Do you have the solo video out yet. I can't wait to get the entire song down but no need to know it unless it right like you teach. A big like and subscribe from me. I bought my 73 custom les paul because of this and learned bits and pieces but now I want the entire song and play it right. Thanks for a great video.

Thanks! Let me know what other songs you'd like to see!

[@abelincoln5698]

@@GuitarNinjas Wanton Song. Page plays a lot of songs in an atypical way . Lots of of open notes and weird bends. So many people get his licks wrong. Not many play Page and actually sound like Page

[@borkoorko10]

Can You tell Us how are you getting that great tone out of an amplifier? Great sound!

[@GuitarNinjas]

Thank you!!! It was very simple.. Stone Bender fuzz pedal and a Fender Princeton

[@borkoorko10]

@@GuitarNinjas I couldn't hear fuzz before at all.. I lowered gain on my amp and add some reverb...It was much better! Thank you, I'll try it with fuzz too! :)

[@mtaylor6745]

Counting thru the beats is such an amazing help for this song, thank you. That 4th note finally makes sense along with the quirky picking. As for other songs maybe Black Dog? That's another hard one for me to get the timing of. Then again could always round out heartbreaker with living loving maid :)

[@GuitarNinjas]

you hit it right on the head.. Living Loving is up next and currently in production! We have a special treat lined up for that lesson as well! I'll be posting the lesson within 10 days

@@GuitarNinjas Ahh I saw it up and came back to check this comment. Thank youu!

[@thepaulmacfarlane]

The D in the main riff is a double D fretted on A and doubled with open D Like in Whole Lotta Love but not bent much. Find the isolated guitar track and its really clear-- Pagey did that a lot.

[@bob_s_drawkcab]

Thanks a ton for this!

[@vulcannora9294]

Any chance you'd teach Celebration Day? New subscriber, trying to learn that one. Thanks so much for Heartbreaker, what a song!

[@GuitarNinjas]

Thanks, Tom! I've been working on prepping for that video! I'll be getting to it this year for sure!

[@loontil]

Hey professor/guru, he plays the D note at at start of riff w an upstroke to catch a bit of the A string. Otherwise it sounds sackless.

[@msmith2016]

Can you tell us about your signal chain? It looks like the throbak pedal you have on top of the princeton is a phaser not a drive. Are you just using amp gain? I have a princeton blackface. That would be pretty loud to get that much drive.

[@GuitarNinjas]

I'm a "keep it simple" player! Chain is: LP into the throwback (mk2 fuzz tone) into the Fender on a clean channel!

[@rich5061]

Where is your other lessons. This is definitely awesome!

is this played in Standard tuning ?

It is! The solo is slightly different but that is because it was recorded at another session outside of the rhythm section.

[@bryanwilliams3665]

Nice Lesson!... Pity no mainstream pickup manufacturer makes a 'Period Correct' post 72 Jimmy Page pickup set with the Low Wind 7.5k T Top in the Bridge and the High Wind 8.6k Alnico 2 Neck PUP... Maybe no demand for the Pickups that were in the most Iconic Les Paul on the planet during its most Iconic years?

Que tal! 🤘🏻 Acabo de descubrir tus videos y tu canal ,muy buena Metodología que usas ,explicas a detalle y muy bien, desde ya me suscribo a tu canal👏🏻👏🏻 Tengo una duda y no se si me puedas ayudar,... ¿Cuál es la configuracion que usas en pedales y amplificador para sonar como en esta canción a Jimmy Page? He visto varios vídeos pero la vdd nadie lo explica, solo se toman a hacer turorial o cover de como va la canción, pero no a como sonar como la canción ,no se si sea por envidia o cada quien tendra sus razones y se respetan, pero ese es otro tema. Ojala me puedas leer y ayudar ,aún que ya tenga años este video, pasare la voz a mis conocidos para que te sigan y vean tus videos que son de mucha ayuda. Infinitas gracias y te mando mucha energía positiva para que sigas creando magia con la guitarra 🤘🏻👏🏻

¡Muchas gracias por ver el video y las amables palabras! ¡Estaba usando un modelo Les Paul Classic de 1960, Herco Picks en un pedal de fuzz Stone Bender y en un Fender Princeton! Jimmy usó el Tone Bender en un Supro Amp
