Is that man is borderline genius or what?

Yeah, some instructors never actually play what they are teaching - duh.

Awesome

Ya he means what he says, shut up and play guitar. Long time sub here too

Literally such a small detail that will determine if I watch the video 🙏

Truth

Without a doubt

For sure, talented, great teacher and love the way he sets up his videos.

This guy's a great player/teacher, but there's plenty more who are as good, if not better.

@@PeteWizzle you're definitely entitled to your opinion. I'm curious as to whom the ones you're referring to who teaches songs at least at this level or higher

😂

practice...

Did it?

@@rocha7686 totally, perfect weather and good wine and I hit that zone where I was playing and singing without effort, just music pouring out. Occasionally I'm able to visit that place where real musicians live.

Noice

@@rodneysmart9774 You were in the zone... I feel you.

Lol!

It has to be underrated first lol widely regarded as one of Jimmy's finest acoustic works.

the tuning itself, open f, is enough to bring joy to anyone.

hey hey what can i do is more underrated imo. but yeah, bron y aur still deserves much more attention

The Battle of Evermore

we're gonna groove is very underrated as well

Shut up and play

It's not a sample it's the whole song....😎

I have a fast forward button on my 1995 windows

It's how an instructional video should be... Always start by playing what your teaching . Fuck a buncha talking.. 95% of it I can pick up just watching and listing to him play , no slowing down and talking needed.

@@shanemiller2046 I find it hard to believe you picked up this song just by looking at him play

I was trying very hard to figure out what 111 meant. My man means III I guess 😭😂

You mean III right?

Ummm, he films from a single angle and offers absolutely no other visual aids at all. His version is excellent no doubt. But some visual aids would have made this a more successful tutorial. Not everyone can just stare at a fretboard and be able to spontaneously call out any and every note on it. It would have been much simpler and more effective if he'd have just put up some tab bars or chord diagrams to accompany what he was saying. Without those the explanation just starts to get too cumbersome.

Try it its not that hard start off slow when you nail it its amazing 🤘

Totally agreed! Love it. On my bucket list!!

It's just the beginning bit that is a little hard, everything else is single-finger chords, believe in yourself man. I hope you've grown in these last two years to the point you feel confident enough to give it a try!

@@marw9541 positive vibes I love it

time... practice, patience...

😂😂😂 said the same exact words 😂😂😂

Yep! LOL! XD

You talk to him?

michael mahoney obv a joke

Honestly I think it’s pretty simple minus the hybrid picking

Hell Yeah

Amen 👍

Blah blah blah bla blab doo

This guy rips. Smooth playing.

Agreed

Strider!

@@Misses-Hippy ya, I love the live version, too.

its really fun to play

No... that's why he does these vids, to show us apemen that we can do it, it is possible, even if it seems beyond our reach. Stretch a little, have faith, practice, get it wrong, it doesn't matter! Have a go! And again, and again, and again... this is one of those songs where you have to let it come to you, you know how it sounds, just make the sound - you can do it! BTW, the genius part comes in writing it in the first place! Thankfully we don't have to jump over that bar!

Justin Taylor its soooo easy you got it man

You can do ittttttt. I believe in a fellow rocker 🤘😂

Give it a shot bro....if you truly want to learn it....he will walk you thru it ..and you can....I felt the same

Same here!

you mean the cliff notes version Jimmy? 🤔😂😂

It's all the other KZfaqrs who are beet red wit jealousy. 🤬

@@michaelgallagher3640 actually no.. some just give you a cliff notes version..some do not do it just as the album is but they give you a condensed version or sometimes a different key.. what you have to understand is Andy has been teaching music for a very long time and playing for many years. but not only that he enjoys figuring out the ways that the artist did it back in the day and trying to replicate it as close as possible.. not turn it into a bar band version. and in a certain way Andy could almost be considered a perfectionist; and that's a good thing..some people just like to do it their way. how they think it sounds some people are not completely trained also and they just basically well you can decide for yourself...how many times have I seen some people playing something and giving a lesson and using completely the wrong fingering in a whole lot of other stuff and say no don't worry about it it's fine.. to say there beet red with jealousy I highly doubt that🤔👎👎

@@truckerkevthepaidtourist My comment was meant for another post asking how people could thumb down this video....it's a joke.

Cheers ☕

Sorry i didnt mean that

Sherif Coutry if he didn’t I’d be surprised

@@elliotvernon7971 ooh shhhhhhhhh 🤫

same

Thanks, I really was wondering why he cries out "Strider" at the end of the tune on the How the West Was Won album!

The dog was a gift from Jimmy Page...

as usual, great content. If I might make a request, I'd love your take on "To My Friend", by Mountain

I kill this track on drums!

✌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great lesson

His name is Andy from B.C. Canada. Go to his YT channel for tons of great songs you can learn.

@@robertclymer6948 Really...sweet I'm in West Kelowna, BC on a canal.....I'll be going to his channel ....this guy rocks....i've been playing 30+ yrs and love classic rock.....this guys incredible.

Two possibilities: 1) the 'anti' crowd. They're just anti _anything_ that other people like and, (in their own puny minds), they're 'superior' for not following the crowd. 2) they're fucking *_STUPID!!_*

I think the KZfaq algorithm has something to do about it to for every so many likes it kicks off of thumb for a dislike somehow automatically but I'm not a hundred percent sure.. but I believe there's something in the algorithm that does that some weird way

Most of the lessons are for intermediate/advanced players. A young novice might take a look and think "No f'in way!" and give it a down vote. I wouldn't worry about it much.

@@Flavum sadly you're pretty much right about that I think..

I love this guy,but he's too pro for me,just beginning. didn't downvote though.

I thought it was about a gibbon.

@@loontil I thought it was about subterranean homesick aliens first time I heard it actually

It sure sound incredibly fun to play but is it really easier than it sounds?

Jimmy’s genius is not complexity it is how cool it sounds whether simple or complex or a little of both.

Wish I could hit like 2xs

Actually a day off and fallin' in love with the guitar once again. Fingerpickin' baby! Ain't growin' old fun. Do what you love! Thanks a tonne for sharing your knowledge, friend.

You still can...write one yourself about whatever’s on your mind.

Give this guy his due as well. He's such a good player.

Hey, I was wondering what you meant by "this tuning is a cheat code"? :)

@@venkyn9209 if you mess up and hit an open string inadvertently, it'll go right along with whatever you're doing. It's a bit like a safety net. You can get really wild and aggressive with little chance of hitting a sour note.

CircusMonkeyMafia yeah the songs in the same key, it makes it sound real nice. I noticed that with his Little Martha lesson

Me and a friend are going to play this at an open Mike this week. Your video has been invaluable. Thank you. Also I have been looking at your Black Mountain Side video which is also both excellent AND educational 😁. Thanks again !

Check out Bert Jansch's Black Waterside....the original which Jimmy Page copied. I'm sure there are videos on here which will show how it's played too.

It's got to be noted that Wagonner's lad was itself taken from a traditional tune.

Jimmy Page didn't steal anything. He improved upon a traditional piece. "I like that and I do it better." Ha! Btw, it's "stolen" not "stole." :)

@@augmentedkeys5971 I think it's fair to say that in this case Zep was not guilty of plagiarism, so maybe 'stole' is too strong a word. That's not to say Zep was never guilty of plagiarism. Jake Homes' "Dazed & Confused" is probably the most egregious example. BTW, it's "steal," not "still." ✌
