Whole Lotta Love @ United Recording | L Z | Tim Pierce | recording session

[@TheShredfester]

Led Zep RULZ!!! Monsters of the late 60's and 70's, Legendary now!! Those killers had so much chemistry together.. Bonzo was such a HEAVY player, I'd swear those 'skins would bust if he'd put an ounce more pressure on them, a powerhouse groove giant.. They'll never be another Bonzo and his power prowess behind the drums are once in a millennium. Sorry Tim, killer video BTW!!! Led Zeppelin Forever!!!

[@phil2208]

that is some serious musicianship!! to me it seems that tim is more a musician than a guitar player, i mean he's spot on, can lock into the groove, brings ideas, arrangements, and his guitar playing cant even be questionned, i mean come on, the producer cant ask him to play better right? amazing

[@pschroeter1]

I've been listening to Whole Lotta Love for 50 years and it took me till this year when I found an isolated track to realized he does a slight slight variation of the main riff when he does the outro. Holy cow, this song is 50 years old.

[@danielcarmichael8961]

Apparently that's the 'happy ending'. There's a classical composer (Carl Baldassarre) who breaks down the whole song, and he said that Jimmy added the G# to the riff in the outro, turning the chord into an E Major, which is 'happy and fulfilled'. That's just his interpretation, but it makes a whole lotta sense in the context of the song : ) The variation is much more prominent in the 73 live version at MSG, you can't miss it

[@Valerifon1]

Hey! It's great to see the REAL players punching in to lay a phrase or two too! Wish I'd known that 20 years ago! ha! Seeing this makes me wanna crank up and jam! Thanks Tim!

[@mikereynolds3294]

GENIUS !! all of you !! what fun that life must be.

[@mudwiser1391]

Tim is The Man! what a great musician and a musical mind.

[@brotherofiam]

I love the sound of Zeppelin in the morning. It sounds like... victory! Thanks for the peek into a recording session.

[@00xanawolf00]

This was insanely interesting to watch. Your focus and ability to play each little segment at the precise time illustrated (to me at least) your professionalism. Whenever the "tape" is rolling on something I'm trying to record, it's not so... elegant; my fingers transform into ham sandwiches...

[@justinwiggy]

00xanawolf00 the video is edited...he isn't gonna show bum starts

[@DavidHayes17A]

It is so great to see the master at work, so meticulous, so accurate and love the last chord

[@Cybertommy2009]

In the stu, working on some Zepplin. So cool. I must have watched this about 10 times. Love the last line of the vid: "It's kinda... ...beautiful." So true.

[@zhonghuawushu]

So look forward to these videos!

[@be1obi79]

the first solo I ever learned. awesome throwback!

[@alicedodson1103]

You are the Man...Tim Pierce!

[@tonicbrad]

A lesson on this would be wicked. Those riffs are just ace !

[@sylvesterado1]

I love it, this sounds incredible. The master covering the master. I can't wait for a lesson on this, your playing is spot on. I can only dream and aspire to play as impeccable as you do. Thanks

[@frabber321]

Ah , so this is how the pro's roll. I am loving' it.

[@micksmastercosmo]

You always make it look so effortless! Thanks for sharing the glimpse into the studio Tim

[@bigdbrew]

I so enjoy watching this guy-seems to genuinely love playing guitar

[@nickthenail]

I always enjoy watching you play, Tim. Thanks for sharing.

[@StevetheHunter560]

Awesome, thanks for sharing Tim! I love seeing the behind-the-scenes/in-the-studio stuff

[@Ritenour1986]

Great video! Your tone and style is out of this world

[@martyjames6204]

love these videos from Tim...fantastic!

[@ducatijim]

Thank you so much for sharing your incredible gift of music with the world via You Tube, I have learned more from you in the past months than from forty odd years of books and training videos! I am nominating you for patron saint of guitars...... ;-)

[@tonyramirez1112]

Always killing it Tim, always! I dream of playing like you

[@timpierceguitar]

Tony thank you so much! Tim

[@2beJT]

Guy in the room: It's kind of... Tim: Beautiful

[@Jay-sy5yf]

Sounds great Tim

[@aromac41]

I love your channel, because watching you play helps me understand the guitar soo much more. Its really interesting watching the techniques someone with years of experience has acquired. Really humbling.

[@Cheesywalnut15]

AMAZING. Sound was absolutely incredible for the solo, nailed it. Very well done sir.

[@drewr729]

Wow... nails the solo.

[@jmirand67]

love the chord at the end!!!!

[@sebastianboyce678]

That chord at the end was really nice, I might... borrow it... indefinitely. Really nice, Tim :) Inspirational.

[@riellymorton]

That D with the E in the bass was sooo cool I’m gonna steal that 😎. I thought it was interesting too to see how you guys tracked the solo and did takes in general. Thank you!!

[@JoeGtars13]

Great playing as always Tim. As others have said, a lesson would be much appreciated.

[@acousticfortim]

I love seeing videos like this Tim,awesome as always,please keep them coming.

[@TristanBaldi]

Great playing, and it's wonderful to see you in a recording session. I mean being laid back and instantly when the instrumental kicks in, fine accuracy. Hope this english makes sense, cheers from France!

[@markcollins3098]

{ Awesome, Tim You Rock on the Guitar.! }

[@sigurbjorn1]

You are so good.

[@Ronnie631000]

Cool! Rock`On! From Sioux City,Ia.

[@rgbrin]

could watch you all day Tim....oops, my bad,,,,I do!!

[@ViaticalTree]

This is great. I would love a longer more in depth look at the whole process of something like this.

[@DaveDexterMusic]

Again, this is so awesome to watch. I've never gone into studio but recorded lots of guitar parts at home for games etc, and often end up doing it in bits or playing a single chord and cutting it in for the perfect strum. I always felt this was cheating and I should be able to get it 100% in one take. But if Tim works like this, I embrace it.

[@drumwonders7301]

Ear splitting old school sound,cant beat Les pauls for this especially when you can play em like Tim.

[@jerryalbee5144]

Amazing! I want to play like that when I grow up. If you get a chance to break that down in a video that would be great. I can play it but can't quite get the lead parts just right.

[@brianGJ]

Great playing, as always!

[@DannyJamesGuitar]

You have such a cool job.

[@MRSNIFFMEFINGA]

Amazing playing Tim!!!!! Could you please do a lesson for this song?

[@boblonghurst5111]

Mind-blowing stuff Tim. Anything you can do to help this poor Mortal improve his playing would be gratefully accepted. Merry Christmas.

[@ThrasherTommm]

My all time fave song to play minus all the recording equipment haha. Thanks for showing us how it's really done, Tim!

[@AmagrasMUSIC]

Thanks for posting this kind of videos Tim, highly appreciated!

[@bremnet1812]

Wow! My dream career ... Thanks Tim and Merry Christmas.

[@tattoofred]

fantastic!

[@maximefourcadier408]

Maybe you Can put the link for hear this beautiful sound ?? SHARE IT !!!!

[@jimmyc5498]

Amazing. So Zep II was mixed by Kramer and Page in NY on a 12ch Altec board in 2-3 days.We bitch and moan about plug ins, mic preamp etc. Guess we gotta man up

[@mrscott99]

watch Joe Walsh play this riff, you have to bend the D note on the A string up a 1/4 tone while hitting the open D, it really hits the mark

[@DanCastle518]

MrScott99 this is the way it’s played. Watch Steve Stevens play it too. He nails it

[@marmadukewinterbotham2599]

Thanks, yes, I just watched the Joe Walsh secret reveal video! Actually, I wonder whether it was a 'painter's accident' and Jimmy double tracked the opening riff, on the second pass putting the bend in that he didn't on the first. Just wondrin'.

[@charlesmartel3995]

Here's Joe's video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHqXdGp_o95_psU

[@jmirand67]

Awesome Sir!!! Nice Job!!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New year!!!

[@Geronimo122]

Great stuff-- love it!

[@zhonghuawushu]

My favorite were those little solo parts.

[@Bodyknowledge77]

THE mighty Lep Zep! Ah to be in a studio laying down tracks like this myself.. someday eventually. It must at times be heavenly Mr P! :-)

[@timpierceguitar]

Thanks ! It's fun to do with people I know real well and I know these people, you'll be doing it too someday! Tim

[@dlong7146]

It would be great if you could do a lesson on whole Lotta love. Great song. You play it awesome.

[@timpierceguitar]

D Great idea! I'll try and get it done someday ! Thanks Tim

[@upgrader99]

Oh lord Pierce - please tell me we're going to see this solo broken down!

[@georgemcnaughton8238]

+upgrader99 its pretty much the same as the led zep version you can find tabs for it if that's your thing.

[@bshelby231]

Happy holidays Tim , Beautiful guitar

[@FreddysFrets]

Great playing Tim! Question regarding the main riff....there are some that swear (Joe Walsh) the trick to what Jimmy did there was to play the D on the 5th string 5th fret and bending it a tiny bit sharp while simultaneously playing the open D string. It sounds about right to me when I play it but I can't help feeling that maybe that effect was caused by tracking the same part multiple times. What do you think? Love all your work BTW!

[@shreve38]

Like a boss!

[@hmmmmm7499]

Hey Tim, can you show us some guitar parts from Weather Report?

[@Therukh999]

Loved it haha

[@JPLD]

awesome work! you're my favorite guitarist on youtube

[@Cigarsnguitars]

If you're not the most versatile guitarist around you are in the top 2.

[@ogreguitarpicks8335]

well done

[@guycore5478]

Can you give us the specs on the Les Paul? Which pickups, string brand and gauges, etc.?

[@MA-vr8gp]

Damn that was bad ass!

[@gizmokaiba]

AWE!!!

[@jimjimm2134]

soooo cooool

[@timpierceguitar]

Jim, I appreciate it thanks Tim

[@The73275]

Nice

[@carldawgh]

this is cool, but where are you guys going with that?

[@mkilner]

Weve missed you Tim!...damn fine playing as always!...would love to hear a Peter Green lesson some time!...Merry Christmas! 👍🏻🎉

[@budandbean1]

Hey Tim, do you ever get to play a whole song? :-) You totally Rock! Thank you for posting this and letting us see a little of "your world". Ciao..

[@tonymarinelli7303]

+Buddy Martin I am not sure if they are using digital equipment, however, nowadays, you play a part or the main lick and they are able to cut and paste the part where it belongs. Tim is a top notch player, however, the reason why the younger players fucking suck is, due in part to the fact that they use technology instead of having chops like Tim, Steve Lukather, Neal Schon, or we'll go back further...Tommy Tedesco, James Burton and yes, Glenn Campbell.

[@budandbean1]

+Tony Marinelli it was a joke... I've been following Tim for over five years. Sorry...

[@tonymarinelli7303]

Buddy Martin Got ya and my apologies for my impassioned reply.

[@budandbean1]

+Tony Marinelli Certainly not a issue, it's so cool to see him in a studio like this.

[@dukegdl]

Hey Tim can you share the backing track?

[@TavaresProject]

fast and efficient!!!

[@redrock1963]

I understand page used a Telecaster for a lot of his studio work. I see here that Tim is using a Tele w a humbucker - Is this what Page used or was a it a single coil Tele??

[@bassplayer8815]

For the riff he used a Les Paul Black Beauty. The guitar had 3 pickups

[@samclarke653]

Hey Tim. When and where will we be able to find the full recording of this?

[@timpierceguitar]

Sam Don't know when the recording is going to come out but when I find out I'll spread The word! Tim

[@samclarke653]

Wow thank you Tim for responding. Love your work and look forward to hearing the recording when it comes out.

[@tim9house]

Hey +Tim Pierce Guitar is that your RSA23? Sounds great

[@timpierceguitar]

Tim for this I used Rob Cavallo's early 80s jCM 800....it's the white one sitting next to me :) thanks Tim

[@davidhayesmusic1069]

Awesome video Tim! Is this Zeppelin project being released to iTunes etc? Also, more live in studio vids please! Love your work. Saw you in Danny Collins-wicked!

[@steppbrooEFT]

isn't that an E9 chord in the end?

[@Deteroblix]

Hey Tim, I may have missed this in the comments, but to get that Page sound, what did u use besides the Page LP and JCM? Any specific pedals or simulated digital effects? Would like to try to replicate. Thx.

[@timpierceguitar]

Deter, The funny thing is there are no effects. It's just the distortion on the amp, and then for the solos the wa pedal is activated but just left open at the top of the range....Tim

[@revol40]

How many tracks of guitar did you do for it? Just curious. Amazing playing as always.

[@timpierceguitar]

Jin, This one is just the one rhythm track, slide overdub, and the solo overdub Thanks Tim

[@revol40]

Truly Jimmy Page like. It sounds so full.

[@miked7295]

Hey Tim, I just recently started following you and I kept wondering: Is there a reason why you play power chords with your pinky?

[@alexm2623]

Mike D It's pure comfort and both ways are fine. Going from the major e shape barre chord to the power chord using the pinky is a lot less hand movement though

[@widowssontony.9268]

Let's jam Pierce.

[@MatheusSouza-jo7eg]

How does it work tim ? Is it going to be released as a LZ song? I don't get it sorry. It must be really cool to play in a studio and record it.

[@timpierceguitar]

Matheus, it's for a yet to be determined Rock orchestra project, don't know when it will be released :) Tim

[@bluerocker5563]

Why? Bombastic with an insufferable case of rigor mortis!

[@Joesfosterdogs]

whats this for? some video game? drummer or drum programming was way off Bonham!

[@musicmann1967]

Stupid question: Why are you recording "Whole Lotta Love"?

[@timpierceguitar]

Larry it's actually a very good question, but I am not sure of the answer... it's for some sort of orchestra multi media project that still in the formation stages. It will be a rock band /orchestra hybrid!

[@musicmann1967]

+Tim Pierce Guitar Gotcha! Cavallo is a pretty big producer, so I was a little confused to hear you guys tracking to Zeppelins original. Interesting! Thanks.

[@rstasel]

Sounds like a Beatles ending

[@JonGUK]

Very tasty !

[@moustafaatef3636]

sounds like Marty Schwartz was there

[@vhollund]

Bad a** :)

[@Eric_DiRisio]

ROB CAVALLO

[@jonathanhathaway7796]

I hate to be picky, as you're obviously a great guitarist, but you're not playing the main riff quite correctly. When Page plays the D fretted note at the 5th fret of the A string he's also playing the open D at the same time while bending the fretted note (up away from the D string), creating a dissonance. Page revealed this in a guitar magazine. It's a subtle difference but it makes all the difference. I always wondered why nobody ever quite captured that riff until Page let the secret out. For some odd reason he changed the way he played the riff live after the first year or so, and it never sounded as good.

[@tsm1013]

I didnt like the chord at the end haha

[@timpierceguitar]

Tate ...that's a great comment, One man's B minor is another man's ......
