Clicked on just to see if he would do the riff correctly, (bending the A string up at fifth fret while hitting the open D string) and he did! Awesome. He then proceeded to demonstrate the proper way to play the rest of the song. You can trust this guy y'all, he knows what he's doing.

I am always amazed at the detail you can hear in all of your lessons that my old ears can't seem to hear anymore. Saw Led Zeppelin in the 1970's and it was one of the most memorable shows I went to. Everything about it was fantastic. You are right that Bonham was more than just a drummer that kept the beat for the band he did so much more and to see it all in person was just great for me.Thanks for the fine lesson.

Page and Plant played the St Austell Coliseum, Cornwall, UK on 15 July 1995. It sounds like an impressive venue, but realistically it was just a large sports hall, with a small stage at one end, about 3 foot off the floor. It was standing room only. I spent the whole night about 6ft from Pagey. They opened the set with A Whole Lotta Love and they blew the place apart. An amazing gig...best I've been to. Sadly, the Coliseum is no more.

This is why I am so thankful you do this. Taking the time to figure out all the subtleties of a song. This is not one of my Zeppelin favorites but I will listen to it with completely different ears now. The A string bend with the open D is key to why so many covers don’t sound like Page and that’s the beauty of finding those subtle tricks to what seems like a simple riff. Well done, sir. I must give a shoutout to Jaclyn Smith. She’s was my favorite Angel. I always liked brunettes.

This is a really good lesson. I really like (and spent a lot of time learning from records) African music of various styles from the '50s through the '90s, and it was always clear to me that when I thought I had it, and it seemed pretty simple, I really didn't have it. Same for a lot of rock stuff. Most things on records have a lot more subtlety than it seems on a surface examination.

Great video, nice to see and hear the subtleties being discussed. I'd have to go back and listen, but I also recall, as well as the up the neck outro mod to the main riff, there's also another subtle variation within the riff (just one note?), but again Page never seems to keep that regular and doesn't always play it that way live. I could be wrong but I'll try and go back and find out. All time great track, Page must have been delighted that after the collapse of the Yardbirds, something even better came about.

You’ve got a great ear to be able to hear the middle pickup. I can maybe hear when an LP is on the neck position. Otherwise I got nothing. I played this wrong for years. Always felt I was missing something. Then I watched the joe Walsh KZbin video where he shows you how to setup a guitar. At the end of the video he shows how to really play this riff they way you’re playing it by bending that A string into the note. I was in my late 20s when I realized this was a cover. And I was in my forties when I first heard killing floor.

Great material, I agree with you in 100%. I have always heard more than one pickup on this track. I don't know actually why everybody plays it only with bridge... Pretty sure that Jimmy have used bridge pickup + middle pickup in his black beauty. You can easily reproduce that sound by using middle position in standard two-humbucker guitar and rolling down volume pot in neck humbucker a little bit. It should sound very close with some tube amp. For some reason most guitarists play this song totally wrong. I am not only sure if Jimmy used tone bender for a rhythm track or it was just cranked amp. What do you think?
