Here is my lesson for how to play When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin.
Over 100 people have asked for me to do a version of this incredibly badass track; what better way to wind in the celebrations than with a lesson on the closing track of the album.
I know there are a ton of different ways to play this, different tunings and some played with a slide etc. I'm NOT a slide player so I decided to let my ear do the talking and put my own spin on things. I've done that before with songs and you guys liked it.
We are in an alternate Open F tuning: FACFAC. This allowed me to keep some chords shapes simple with barring, make use of some open strings all whilst allowing me to bring a bit of magic to the main riff.
Have fun.

Is that white guitar have ebony fretboard ? I used to have the exact same guitar but black and I got rid of it because the fret board was like chip board crap but the guitar was freaking amazing but the fret board was so bad ! It would have been a good slide guitar I guess !?

That's insane !!! I thought I was getting smart learning legato finally and other weird techniques but then of course Jimmy page has to blow my mind once again with his guitar genius !!! Great lesson by the way !!!

That’s right! When it comes to learning a Led Zeppelin Song, make sure you have a tuner next to you because Jimmy was the master in composing songs with weird tunings🤣 I remember when I learnt Going to California.. it’s composed in Double drop-D.. I still can't explain how you can be such a genius!

I love a good double reply thread, people scouring the comments looking for things of interest. Reminds me of old school forums. Hey you two! Yeah there are a bunch of tunings Jimmy composed with.

I have two things on my desk right now, my phone and my tuner. 😂

Never say never, if I figure out a really decent way to play on guitar I’ll be sure to share it with everyone. It’s been awhile since I was in Chicago, me and Gab loved our time there. A really cool city. ❤️

Hah, amazing. One guy left a comment yesterday saying “don’t do the impressions! Who do you think you are?” 😂 I’d like to think that the guys in Led Zeppelin have a pretty good sense of humour and would clearly see how much I respect them.

Great job. Led zeppelin played this song a couple of times during 75 tour only. This is the only lz song, that i prefer the album version over live

I mean, it’s got to be that drum sound, surely? It’s absolutely immense isn’t it. The mix on this song really hasn’t dated. I could imagine a modern band like Elbow dropping something like this and it’d still being huge today!

There was this time when I listened to this song with faulty headphones and somehow I could listen guitar parts that were hidden in the mix! I was amazed by how great the guitar work is in this song! I don't know what happened, I think some of the frequencies were not being reproduced so I could hear guitar parts that I could not listen normally! This song has so many hidden awesome guitar parts! I was shocked! There are so many layers of guitars in this song, it's crazy!

@SpedSpedding 2 жыл бұрын

That’s totally possible, some of my decent headphones broke the other day and when I tried to fix them drums were on the right, vocals were on the left; it was all horribly wrong. But it meant that some parts were isolated and I could hear them, kind of cool. There’s also a trick you can do where are you phase invert audio to cancel out of the instruments, you can isolate guitars quite well to help work things out.

The Led Zep IV Deluxe Edition has an alternate mix version that seems to have less reverb and the tracks have a little more clarity.

I saw so many versions of this in the Led Zeppelin books, and every time I even tried to play even a tiny little bit of it I almost threw up. It sounded so wrong, and I just moved onto something else. This is probably going to be the thing that I’ll go with because it’s definitely pretty good.
