You know Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, Bonham and Plant, as accomplished players, could have just wrote simple rock pop quite easily, made money and settled. But instead, they all always took things into a much more interesting direction. Not satisfied until it was really unique. I love how that even in ‘simple’ blues tunes, Jimmy was always chasing unusual chords scales tunings and sonic effect. Brilliant, all of them. Enjoyed this, Cheers Tim.

I remember my guitar teacher never really heard Since I've Been Loving You, and I brought in a recording so he could teach it to me. He was absolutely blown away by the voicings in the song and got really excited about it. He ran out and got a song book to follow along exactly what was going on. Goes to show no matter how long you've been playing there's always a new nugget to find that makes you fall in love with the guitar all over again.

My favorite guitar players: Jimi & Jimmy 🙌🏼

I haven't played in 6 years due to a disability (MS) but I sat and watch this whole video! Oh how I miss my guitar.

People who say Page is sloppy are missing THE WHOLE PICTURE ! Brilliant video.

I’m 59, been playing since 17, and someday I hope to have as much fun playing guitar as you do Tim. Makes me want to dig up the old Zeppelin riffs and work them up again. Nice job.

Page is the best! Met him a few years ago in a Seattle bookstore. He couldn’t have been kinder. Even though I’ve been around a few famous Seattle folks growing up, Page was just next level, guitar player, producer, dragon suit wearing, double neck playing, Alister Crowley house owning….. the list goes on

More Jimmy Page please! Good stuff Tim!

Geez Tim.....when you gonna get together with Jimmy, and do a livestream together? If Jimmy were to talk guitar with anyone it should be YOU! 👍

So happy you covered Out On Tiles! Some of Jimmy's coolest riffing. It is as the late Phil Hartman so memorably said, "Sassy!"

Jimmy Page = My favorite "chords" player. Love it, thanks Tim ❤

My Page story: went to see Les Paul at Fat Tuesdays on 3rd Ave & 17th st July 15th 1985. Walk in and Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, a few Beach Boys and what looked like some high priced hookers were at the table next to ours. Jimmy did a half hour set with JPJ on the house piano... incredible night. As soon as Les ended I jumped up and got to Jimmy (who was drunker than drunk) handed him a pen and the table menu card abd asked for an autograph...he signed it. Half hour later I was talking to Les Paul at the bar and asked if he'd sign the card that Jimmy signed. He said "Jimmy was actually able to write his name"? Then he signed it too.... They were all there because they played the Band aid concert in Philly two nights earlier...great memory.

I've been playing/performing Page for 50 years. The trouble in bands has been trying to find singers to do Plant. Great job. Thanks for posting Tim!

Had to pause At 1:38, to say, Your Smile, as you play that Riff, is Infectious Tim, It's so great to see the Joy on your face even after the years you've put in up till now

Unpotted, underwound pickups, sound like the best P-90's! Super session here, thank you!!

"The greatest slow blues turnaround in the history of rock" opened so much for my understanding of how things work, or better say could work, in the rock vernacular.

Love the explanation of the "Since I Been Loving You"-Turnaround which I always liked. Grabbed the guitar and suddenly there it is!!! Pure Joy!!! Thanks Tim!!! Thanks Jimmy!!!

“Talent borrows, genius steals”. Not sure who to attribute this quote to, ran across it long ago & seems exceedingly valid. LZ is the bedrock of my life soundtrack so Jimmy has been a true inspiration. Les Pauls are a great love as a result. Thanks for your great work here Tim, love the channel!

Can't help but love Tim, so humble and so talented, he just makes it look so easy and relaxed!

My favourite guitar song ever, "Since I been loving you". Perfection.

Just love to sit down and listen to Tim what a lovely gentleman he is thanks Tim.

True story... You said great, often overlooked riff and I immediately said "out on the tiles".. nailed it

I love the vibrato on the last note of the main figure in Out On The Tiles.

Gonna take a moment here and also recognize the great drum programming for Out On The Tiles. 👏

Some amazing blues licks of your own, Tim

...Also Pagey's sound was also much cleaner than we seem to remember it! Great lesson Tim!

Out On The Tiles…YES! The ATTITUDE of that opening statement, Dananana Nananana…kick ass fantastic! Figuring out the main riff on my newish- used Les Paul Deluxe back in ‘71 was SUCH a stimulating moment in my learning process. I had the very great pleasure of seeing Jimmy’s #1, his Danelectro, his Harmony, his Dragon Tele and Supro, at the Play It Loud - The instruments of Rock and Roll exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art back in 2019. The way it was exhibited saw his #1 cast its shadow upon me! His doubleneck, dragon suit, stage rig, and restored LP Custom were there as well. Heaven. “Silenced By the Flesh,” in theaters now!

Thanks so much Tim. This is great .i was only just listening to Led Zep yesterday for the first time in ages. Jimmy's voicings are are so dramatic and cool. I was really digging ''Rain song'' . The whole part is so magical. Thanks for all the knowledge you offer. it so appreciated.

I LOVE how to started by immediately showing the secret chords and THEN returned to super-explain each one. And I will never stop marveling at how precisely you play.

Killer Out on the Tiles Tim! My cousin Tim Alexander played that at 14 and blew me away. He then spent 4 years learning all of the YES albums as his musical apprenticeship. Tim and a friend started the first online record label called Quagmire records, still online. You are an amazing talent Tim.

Since I been loving you is my favorite slow blues also. Every single note is perfect.

Another great guitar video, Thank You Tim Pierce. Loved your Les Paul comment of "this one; not TOO heavy". For sit down Studio work, for best tone & action, my first pick is my 1973 Gibson Les Paul "Black Beauty". For on stage work, 2+ hours, my first pick is always my 1973 Fender Strat. I'm only 5'8 & 150 pounds (and now over 60 years old) so my Les Paul seems like it weighs 50 pounds! (Legend says Angus Young of AC/DC - 5'2 & 120 pounds - mostly played a Gibson SG cuz he said "Les Paul's weigh nearly as much as I do". PS - I saw LZ in concert 1974 - twas too young at age 13 to appreciate the genius of the band.

You don't really sound like Page in the way some people are able, but I love the way YOU sound and I think you do too. I have a Harmony Sovereign- narrow hips- that I found broken in half and had it rebuilt many years ago. I don't play it too often now but when I do I REMEMBER. From what I understand, Page wrote so many things on his Sovereign: themes, riffs, arrangements, etc, (acoustic and electric). Thanks for a little 'Ten Years Gone'. I love it so much I worked out every last note of the thing one summer years ago. I don't usually bother with that sort of thing, but in this case I still can play all of it at the drop of a hat.

Awesome as always!

"As I walk.. down the highway all I do is sing this song"... Loved it since I was twelve years old and my big brother came home from Vietnam with a kick-ass stereo system he bought in Thailand. He bought a reel to reel and a handful of tapes. Of course he had the first four Zeppelin releases!

For those struggling with hand/wrist pain, I've found that if you loosen your grip on the pick, your grip on your fretting hand will become lighter as well reducing the "death grip" and strain. I've learned to use the least amount of grip necessary to hold the pick (very loose), which has greatly relieved overstrain in both my picking hand and fretting hand.

This is a super cool video Tim. Thanks

Plant's singing on Since I've Been Loving You......Plant's singing on Since I've Been Loving You! DAMN! Nobody else can TOUCH THAT!!!

So glad to see you geek out on “Since I’ve Been Lovin You” which is maybe my favorite Zep. song. The way JP plays it live on The Song Remains The Same he was at the height of his powers.

Awesome job Tim!

Thanks Tim! Always learn a thing or two or three from your videos.

I was just playing Out on the Tiles the other day....used to know it back in the day and thought I'd revisit it. Page is so much fun to play. Another good one is The Wanton Song.

Great one. I must be suffering from a 50 year hang over from the '70's. I've watched this 3 x today just to hear that Zepplin sound over and over. Plus, that's a huge tip on muting with your left hand. Thank you for this very enjoyable half hour.

The solo in ten years gone is one of the most conversational ever recorded & my favourite Page improvisation

Great teaching as usual. Thanks Tim

wow tim im learning so much and getting better on my guitar. able to play some stuff and making it fun for me thank you

Thanks Tim. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Much respect...

Love your take on Page and the Les Paul. I would like to add that creamy mid-range tone you talked about comes from those '59 PAF Humbuckers, which it sounds like on your Paul the Murphy Lab got pretty close to. As well as the wood, as you said. LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹

"Out on the Tiles"! One of the most underappreciated Zeppelin tunes, yet one of my personal favorites. I never could understand why it gets so little love. Much like that whole third album. Thanks for doing that.

Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks for this tribute to the brilliance of Pagey. Ever since I saw LZ at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit in May ‘69, I was hooked. BADASS! Aggressive! In command.👍🏼👍🏼❤️

I love watching your channel and listening to your playing. You have a fantastic ability to dissect songs, and play them with such ease.

Sheer Bloody Joy! Nothing charges me up like Zep. Thanks for doing this.

Great knowledge and kindness from ya. Thinking in taking the course soon!

I wish I had your guitar knowledge and general music theory. But I'm 70. It's not going to happen, lol. I've owned and played guitars since 11 without training. It's the most peaceful enterprise in my life. Guys like you inspire me greatly. My son scholarship'ed through college on math to earn an engineering degree - and plays the piano in an accomplished fashion. He told me that accomplished guitarists like yourself are also accomplished mathematicians and don't realize it. He said, "Music is math." I believe him. I greatly appreciate your skills and knowledge - knowledge which I think you take for granted. Cheers!

Your voice and demeanor are so soft and personal that it is inspiring on an intellectual level. Your playing seems so effortless that it almost intimidates. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and technique. This kind of intimate teaching is a lost art for most.....but not you. Thanks again. Riff and be Well.

Thanks for this video. I've been trying to master (yeah, like I'll ever be able truly master this one) since I've been loving you for months now. And this video is helpful and inspirational.

I've been playing guitar for 35 years and I learn plenty from you. Much respect Tim!

I have been waiting my whole life for this lesson haha thank you for this!

Incredible! Thanks again Tim.

Jimmy Page was incredibly creative.

Excellent video , thanks Tim !

Great Video! Inspiring me to wanna practice even more.. Thank You! I Appreciate Your Amazing Skills!

Tim you really did your research on this subject. What I’m realizing after listening to Page all these years, although he’s been critiqued sometimes for being sloppy his feel and brilliant ideas make up for it. Thank you for this lesson you provided a very detailed and comprehensive study of JP’s style.

Great stuff Tim.

Well done on these brilliant playing and great stories.

Enjoyed this video immensely. Thank you very much for putting this together for us. If I didn't feel like I sucked on guitar before this video, I do now :).

Tim, I love the guitar and would love to learn to play one day when I slow down enough. I appreciate the content you put out on KZfaq; it's all so exciting and gives me that continued drive to learn to play.

Great use of graphics. Helps so much to understand exactly where the notes are being played on the fretboard

You have good taste in Page riffs! Thanks.

I like what you were saying about acoustic guitars. The magic tree thing matters so much. I picked up a $300 Yamaha that I paid $50 for. It inspired me to write some of the best original stuff I have ever come up with. About 6 months ago I bought a Taylor 935 CE from Sweetwater to replace it. I even spent the extra money to have it set up to my specs. When I got it and played it, I was pissed. I hated the sound and feel so much when I compared it to the $50 Yamaha, I threw a fit and cursed out my salesman. I sent it back and they made some adjustments and I ended up sort of happy. Taylors can be weird. If you can't adjust and do like you always say and vary your picking intensity, you can make a $5700 Taylor sound horrible. It took me 3 months to adjust, and now I like that Taylor. But I still marvel and how amazing that $50 Yamaha sounds. It's got a sound sometimes that money can't buy.

This video has an awesome wealth of useful information. Thank you Tim!

Tim Pierce you are just awesome... And you literally just gave me chills when you mentioned the "greatest" turnaround in Since I've Been Loving You -- and I haven't even watched the entire video yet!!

Very inspirational video that makes me want to play more.

Tim, you're a well of experience and skill. Thanks for sharing your insights and musical musings. I agree with what you said about keeping the wrist loose and to power from the elbow muscle area (but also keep the elbow from straining, tightening up and creating "tennis elbow" ). A lot of the power that goes into my pick, when I do fast runs and aggressive picking, comes a lot from my thumb a fingers and not from the wrist. As far as wrist pain goes, I suffer from various maladies in the hand...some related to how I play guitar and most just from having to work, hard labor, for years and from some degenerative issues and fall damage from skateboarding. Compound issues that affect my playing but I must adapt because playing guitar is my passion in life. My issues are with loss of grip strength, ulnar nerve damage in my fretting hand/elbow, tendonitis and DeQuervain's syndrome in my thumb regions. I'm not saying, "woe is me" or anything, just sharing my experience with wrist pain/arm issues that have affected my playing. The ulnar damage sucks because my pinky and ring fingers (which are controlled by the Ulnar nerve) are deadened/numb at times. I can still shred and can still learn to play within my new, limitations. It was a very defeating realization...like imagine playing guitar for 20+ years and thinking that you won't be able to play a guitar past the age of 40... the existential dread is palpable...I considered disintegrating into nothing but I settled on adjusting my technique and some physical therapy and strength training. I just want to play guitar, record what I play, maybe make music with like-minded people, never step foot on a stage, you know, background guitar guy stuff. I think I can still do that, even with wrist pain and nerve damage.

He's nailing the sounds and the notes! Nice!

Thumbs up for the obvious fun you had doing this video. Your awesome sir

Tim you are in a totally different league🙏🏼. Wonderfully informative incredible playing.

Great song! Great episode. 👍

Please do a part 2 of this!!!!

Jimmy also played an electric 12 string on Beck's Bolero, which he wrote for Jeff.

One more thing. Just from watching you Tim I’ve learned a ton. LED Zeppelin was like a divine intervention of 4 pure and perfect musicians melting into one of the charts act. They ushered in the 1970’s to a whole new world. Ps. Randy Rhoads is a hero of mine. I’m guessing you can’t do any of his stuff because of the Ozzy and more so Sharon? Is that right?

I HAVEN'T SEEM ANOTHER CHANNEL THAT DISPLAYS THE NECK OF THE GUITAR ON THE LEFT AS IN YOUR VIDEOS. IT'S VERY HELPFUL! THANKS!

Great channel, always some very useful bits of information.

Awesome Tim🎸《☆》Ramble On is Cleverly layered. Many people never hear the overdubbed riff under the rhythm track🛠It's been focused on by many KZfaqrs over the years. It kindly reminds my of a Sonic the Hedgehog melody on loop😁You definitely got Yourself a Great LesPaul. Nice Work Cyphering LZ out for us & I definitely need to use my Pinky more✌🏼😎☯️

His point about acoustics - SO TRUE!

Since I've Been Loving You is my favorite also. It's just so Sexy, Sultry, and Intoxicating... Especially on the Live version on The Song Remains The Same. Of course, the visual aid of cinematography guides some of the emotions.

Thanks for sharing Tim. 👍 rock on man ✌️

Thanks for your videos. You always smile when you play and make it look so fun. I appreciate the information and tips, especially the mention of the issue of having small hands. I have really small hands, being 5'6", and struggle to play the guitar instead of it playing me as a very amateur player.

Great video as always, sir. I have dealt with wrist and elbow pain (tendonitis) for many years. It's not easy. I see a chiropractor regular. Ice and stretch constantly. I'm going to be looking into acupuncture because this has been going on for 20 years or so. I wish comfort and ease of movement to all those living with pain. Peace

Have had a "ulnar neuropathy" condition for several years. Mostly affects my little finger - numb, unstable. So..adapting to play minus the little finger is an "adventure" to say the least. Limits the ability to play some chords and reach some single notes. I just deal with it. Surgery? Odds are 50-60% success tate in my case. Could even worsen the condition. So, putting that off and trying to deal with the limitations. Great stuff as always, Tim.

David Coverdale in an interview was asked about the different guitarists he's played with, referred to Jimmy Page as "The Maestro". Can't argue that.

This is the kind of informationI LOVE to nerd out on! Thank you Tim, you’re a legend!

Jimmy was the riff master for sure. Sooo cool

Ten years gone!! First song I ever learned, my shoulder hurts

That's pretty cool. Page's trick was using tunings like a magician. The sheet music transcription I bought as a kid was all in E tunings. Thanks for nothing. Felt cheated ever since I found that out. And "Rain Song" is MUCH tougher to play in an E tuning.

Out on the tiles is a Great track off LZ3 In a lot of the early seventies bootlegs you'll hear them doing that walk down from G with the octaves to the Unison A drone bend and then Jimmy would slam into the Heartbreaker riff...cool stuff Tim, and yes, always thought it was a C9 too!

Bravo . Another great episode Tim. Learning so much from you. btw.I love Phill X . I really enjoyed the videos Phil made. Love all guitars but agree with you about Les Paul’s and their unique sounds. Super great MASTER class . So comprehensive.❤🎸☮️

According to Jason Bonham, Bonzo initially came up with the "Out on the tiles " riff or groove

Solid stuff Tim thx 👍
