Great choice and lesson Doug👍 Led Zeppelin II, was my first but absolutely not last album from the band, back in late 1969. Besides Ramble On, Thank You is another of my favourite slower tunes on the album. I've done the "Zeppathon" several times, during the more than five decades which have gone, since epic LZ II. Keep them coming - Doug. ☮️❤️🎸

Thanks Doug! Jimmy Page just has that special “it” factor and gift for composition. He’s always taking deceptively simple parts but adding melodic and rhythmic twists that make the Zep songs unique. How many hooks can you add to one song? The guy is a genius.

The biggest miracle is how the "lead " bass line over the acoustic part, never steps on the vocal. The Vox amp info was cool, did you hear the rumor, Jimmy swapped the bridge and neck pup's? Beef up the screech and thin out the grunt. Anyway, great ear and lesson. 'Zep II was my first album, like a greatest hits. Ü ♫

Excellent play and study on the song intro - I achieve in a different way but all the same. The 'mystery' chord is a B7sus4 leading to the Amaj chord - very nice. Love the electric harmony bits. One of my fav acoustic Page songs. Others - Gallows Pole; Going to California; Thats the way ... etc. Like a lot of acoustic songs, you look for 'open' harmonising strings. I always loved how Page arranged the song order on Led Zep IV from the light and airy acoustic 'Going to California' to the heavy in-your-face 'When the levee breaks'. Page/Led Zep was about light and dark. Great song choice and a very good lesson. 👍On the acoustic 6/12 string - is that a volume knob(?) on the upper bout? Finally, how did you come up with the name '12 foot chain'? just curious. Thanks buddy, from DownUnder.

@12footchain 7 ай бұрын

Yep, volume knob. I'll post a vid soon on 12 ft chain meaning. It's a metaphor about breaking self imposed perceived limitations.

The part you detail at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1430">23:50</a> is exactly as I've always played it, but if you listen to the isolated track there is another note being played, 2nd fret D string, which makes me think he's playing some or all of this part in the open E position or is using an open tuning, what do you think?
