It's time you got Jimmy on the show. How cool it would be to get Jimmy to share some secrets. 🙂 Amazing video guys.

When I think that the guys from Zep were in their twenties like me now and to play and compose like that at that age... it's just crazy!

I have to comment again... This is one of the most insightful lessons on playing Led Zeppelin songs I've ever seen. I remember a quote from Jimmy Page where he said something like, "I feel strange showing people how it was done because it looks simple, but playing in Led Zeppelin is actually quite hard to do."

One of the best videos on KZfaq I've ever seen, right here. Thank you, Carl - as always! And thank you, Nick! Would love to see more from you guys together.

Even after hearing how to count in the drum intro to Rock and Roll I still can't wrap my head around it. Great stuff.

Oooo The Rover! What a great, ballsy, swinging riff! Well done guys. Love that track.

This drummer chap truly kicks ass! And Carl, you're great as ever!

Great job guy’s!! LED Zeppelin will never be duplicated! Thanks for honoring them and the incredible music they created!

The Rover is my favourite song from that album too. He seems to bend every note he could on that riff!

Nick nails the Bohnham feel, which is the secret sauce to why Zeppelin was so amazing. Page just fed off of John's grove and the rest is musical genius

Have them all - The First Album is way beyond and still is 💫Wow Both Nick & You ..

I love it so much when you riff with Led Zeppelin, thank you :)

I am a huge Zeppelin fan and this chanel is incredible. The level of details is just amazing. Thanks Carl, for your amazing work. !

Italians get Zeppelin! Of course for Nick it helped to have an older brother who introduced him to great music:)

I really enjoyed the enthusiasm and attention to detail here guys!!!! Fantastic musicianship and boy do those pickups ever nail the tone. Really fun stuff!!!!

Bryan Williams pickups are absolutely amazing, I have a set in my 1996 Les Paul Classic premium plus . Every Page fan should have a set of these in their Les Paul.

Great video! Awesome guitar and drum sound! It’s great having you both play and tell us about these songs.

You guys sound awesome. I'm in sonic heaven.

This is soo good! You guys are top notch, absolutely amazing!

Seeing you two together is great. And it really illustrates how integral Bonzo was to Page's Riff-making magic - and how they inspired each other.

Fantastic, superbly done video and incredible analysis. Love that you’re continuing to share the profound mastery and musical beauty and creativity of Zeppelin. Or shall I say the profound beauty and musical mastery of Zeppelin?! They really had it all and their music and vibe continues to influence so many musicians 50+ years later.

Thank you Carl and Nick. I really enjoyed the attention to the subtler moments and how you highlighted the interplay of John and Jimmy. Keep up the good work!!!

Carl, read a little while ago Page has swapped out his Switch's on his LP's. Now using a Freeway switch which gives him even more wiring options, although he didn't say what "extras" he has it wired for. With anyone else would guess what it is, however with jimmy, could be something way out there. LOL Thank-you for doing Whole Lotta Love riff properly and showing folks how to do it. That fifth string D Page showed how he does it, up picking from fourth to fifth strings as you said, fretting the fifth and right away slightly pulling the fifth D sharp ever so slightly. As you've showed that difference in pitch is what makes that riff. Also incredible the amount of players that never get that tone and can't figure it out. Loving this video, Nick and yourself are showing your passion for Zep and it's flowing right through the video. Fab Work Guys!!

You guys make it all fresh and fun again. Thanks so much! 'The Rover' and the solo therein never gets old. Ya'll nailed it a good'n!- along with everything else. I really think Page's choices in bending and such were mostly organic and natural, just like everything with him- timeless and flowing...Yes, me "Jones'n" for some 'Rover'.

Spectacular! Just a superb video. The magic of Bonham and Page (and JPJ) was mesmerising and you guys show it off wonderfully.

Amazing as usual! The Rover is such a great song! Thanks once again Sir!

This episode showcased some of best segments and vital key elements that Made Zeppelin such an incredible band. Jimmy and the gang all had such unique styles that bonded and blended into the powerhouse, runaway Freight train that was Led Zeppelin. Incredible how such delicate features within the structure of the songs supercharged the final outcome of those tunes so tastefully. Both of you guys demonstrated those elements so incredibly well that that to my ear, you both nailed it. Great, great vid - Bravo!

I have set # 91 in my Les Paul Classic. Bryan's pickups are amazing even if you're not playing Zep numbers.

Thanks,Carl. Great episode! ✌️

YOU DID IT- I've ALWAYS wanted to do Rock and Roll over the drums to Keep a Knockin' but never had the drummer with the chops. I am lovin' your channel, man!

What a fantastic episode Carl and Nick!That ripping beginning riff in Good Times Bad Times always felt the beginning and promise of so much incredible music to come!Enjoyed all of the riffs,especially The Rover.Always has been one of favorite songs on that record with its sultry, catchy beats.Loved the highlights of Zep 2 ,and 4 too.Bring it on Home and Moby Dick are some of my favorites. Thank you both for sharing!😊🎼

He did the beginning of the song on the 77 tour as an intro , I don’t know if there’s video or not I’ll check it out for you . I’m glad to see you got these pickups , I’ve had mine about 6 months . Complicated doesn’t mean good . Peace Carl

What a great session! Really enjoyed it start to finish, and thanks to Nick D'Virgilio for the stunning performance and drum patterns analysis. Really in line with the signature style of this channel! And Thank You Carl for one more exciting video!

Thanks for this video. It really makes me appreciate even more how great of a band Led Zeppelin was and just hearing those songs being played to perfection by both of you is incredible.

great fun to see you guys ! and especially for the rover ! how I love this song !

The Bryan Williams Garden '73 pickups are the only ones I've heard that get close to Jimmy's sound. I tried SD '59s, then WLH, and finally got Bryan's (set #58) last year. Wow! A dream come true 😊.

27:25 -- such a good point. Over and over as I listen to these tunes, what jumps out at me is how much speech and emotion Bonham got out of the snare drum. I can't think of another drummer who could play so many different sounds and voices from a single instrument.

Great work here fella's. Very much enjoyed! Thanks.

Very nice video. You two are so kind to share your amazing talents. I'm a big supporter of Bryan's wonderful pickups. I'm the proud owner of his 44th set (I'm pretty sure that was the number). The pickups were installed the day I got them and they will stay in because I love them so much. I don't (or can't for that matter) play Zeppelin songs but I fell in love with the sound and they are my favorite pickups that I own. 😊 and just to add...the continued support of Bryan whenever I have a tech question is just a treasure.

LOVE The Inverted Riff From Knebworth/Whole Lotta Love And Your TONE KILLS!!!!!

Great explanation of classic drum and guitar riffs.

1975 NE OHIO HINKLEY,OH COLISEUM 10 ROWS BACK 3 1/2 hour concert. My #1 band till I expire Carl and Nick. Thanks gentlemen!!! Physical Graffiti. 😊 I'm 62. Best concert in my life..

Loved Nicks videos for sweetwater and obviously his playing. Thanks for this guys.

Love it! That’s quite a revelation about Jimmy’s pickups. Killer riffs and those new pickups are dead-on Jimmy. Nick is absolutely awesome. Crushing it.

@Carl are you using Bryan's 1973 pickups? I see he offers 1972 also. Great tone and even more importantly knowledge and teaching!

Excellent on Zep. ,as always. The bass does play some lovely little walk-ups on 'The Rover' too.

Great with Nick drumming, was a good guest .

Superb! Pick ups definitely close 🙌

Damn I love that sound - riff of The Rover (Rude and MMeeann). I read Page had special custom work on his pickups and knobs for a tapestry of different sounds which makes sense since he was a studio guitarist. You have a awesome show C and hope you hit 100000 and beyond. Ty for the lesson.

The Rover is such a great riff and oft overlooked by Zep officianado's bravo for including here!

I love this video soooo much, great experienced musicians just hanging out, and geeking out over zepp. So much fun😊

two Italians and Led Zeppelin music....i love this channel

Totally love it guys!

That sounded great and think those pickups sound awesome!

Nice! i really like to see that you got so many subs after first videos, and i love those and now i see your channel, it really gives more and more info and now even history of how bonham got visions and so on, keep them coming! i read all books, listened led whole my life, and still learning more because of this channel, Thanks! and well played again! greetings from finland again and enjoy that abiilty to play those songs, we enjoy that you enjoy !!

Great job guys! Fantastic!

This was soo much fun !

Fantastic breakdown & insights!

Something that almost never gets discussed regarding Page’s pickups is the specific combination of Alnico magnets in the neck and bridge. I forget what it is, and I’ve been looking for it like crazy, but it wasn’t what you normally find and it’s key to that “woody” Page tone.

Awesome , fun vid.. You and Nick should do a live clinic sometime.. Maybe answer some fan questions,etc.... Not only are you both consummate musicians.. But you both project well on the camera with your personalities... I love the way Nick attacks his drums.. Solid, tight and dynamic and a great affable personality to top it off.. It's rare to get that combination and find a connection. You both mesh and play off each other with great chemistry. Keep up the great work!

Great drumming! Love to hear someone really nailing the drum parts and style.

Hey Carl, there is limited footage of Jimmy playing the Rover intro to Sick Again in 1977. I believe the video that exists is from Seattle. As for your LP, my best guess has always been a Made 2 Measure Custom. That would explain the perimeter burst (not tear-drop shaped), ebony fretboard, mother of pearl inlays, no split-parallelogram on the headstock, and aging job. Can't wait to find out for sure in a future vid!

Hi Carl, thie video is phenomenal 💯💥. You and Nick are sympathetic guy´s and superb Musicans. Thank you both for doing this. ..So, and now i grab my Les Paul and play Zep riffs 😀. Many greets from Bavaria, Germany, Tom

Y’all are very talented and it’s great to hear you dissect these riffs… that said… hearing Zep tunes with *just* great drumming and guitar playing makes me realize how much Jonesy added to the band!

Great work! thanks!

Absolutely magnificent! Love you guys, and learn so much. ✌️

A whole video should be made on just the outro of The Rover. After he plays the main riff the last time he goes into the coolest outro riffing. The things that came out of that guys mind and hands...just the best.

I'm gonna hold my breath until Carl releases an in-depth video on that Les Paul. Farewell, all.

Amazing job, you're absolutely amazing guys, you did quite a enjoyable video here.

Phenomenal video, and pairing- 2 pros. The fun of playing Zeppelin is apparent. Moby Dick- it gets no better.

You guys are really on top of the timings.

The Rover. Guitar in that is fantastic. That riff that morphs with the wah as the solo goes over the top. Hard to describe but the sound is amazing

You guys nail it!

OMG! YES please get Jimmy on here!!

Great video!

That was great! You guys work great together

love your style man, keep the great work you're doing! Also, thanks for doing the best video on Page's tone and not naming it "THE REAL tone of j.p." or "The ABSOLUTE TRUTH of Page's tone" or "Jimmy Page: you are doing it wrong" All those click bait strategies are getting frustrating. Your work is pure quality. Thanks again!

Just love these posts

This is as close to Page’s sound I’ve heard…good job 👍👑

I say props to these master musicians. I enjoyed watching them do hat they love

You Sirs are awesome 👍😊

Absolutely love the camera cut to the kick drum on Good Times Bad Times when Nick the kick drum triplets.

Fantastic lads

Greatly appreciated Bro,

Damn it carl. You can make that Les paul scream. And that drummer. Everybody tells every drummer this. I play guitar and drums and have for over 35 years. I have a really good ear. That drummer has to be the best of playing bonham grooves ive ever heard not only is he doing the licks and keeping about same timing his groove. My god hes good. John bonham and frank beard of zz top has a unique groove to their playing and this guy has it too in spades great great work

I LOVE THE ROVER!!!

Any chance that you’ll share the info on the pickups that you have in your Jimmy guitar?

awesome video thankyou

Rover is my favorite song of Led..this guitar has a magical feeling..this song is call the favourite unknow.

Great content!! Greetings from Greece! Your pickups sounds fantastic.. I am about to buy one set as well..But still I think your playing is so good, that you could play even the cheapest squier and sound the same.. Please can you make a video about Jimmy and the use of echoplex? Thank you for your content!!

Amazing, please can you do the Rover outro, the way Jimmy keeps turning the riff inside out is so special.

Hello Carl. Here is a video from Led Zeppelin in 1977 June 1977 . The Rover Intro and Sick again.The Rover is one Of My MOST favorites also. I was going to go to this concert with my big bro, I was 14 and was getting into zeppelin then and thought Ill go to the Next tour. I kick myself when I see this video . They to me were in their prime. AHHHHH . I own over 10 Gibson Les Pauls, Its all Jimmy Pages Fault !!! . 1 of them is a 1996 Gibson LP Standard Signature edition Page and Gibson put out for a few years. Sighed by Page in the old case with the Emerald Green lining etc. I stole it at Guitar Center. . My Gibson buddy at Guitar center said " hey have you been in the high end guitar room today ? I said no I try to stay out of there LOL. Well on the wall was the signed Jimmy Page Gibson Les Paul. I saw it from 30 feet away through the glass doors and said where did you get that ??? It was a consignment. Anyway I offered 2500.00 and they sold it to me for 2600.00 :))))). At the time i had been watching them on ebay etc for 5000.00 Plus. Carl you are the best Guitarist and composer I ve seen next to Page!!!!.Ive learned so much from you and your break down of the Zepp songs and how amazing page is with his writing. Thank you Carl !!!!!!!!! Ive been playing for about 15 years and learned on KZfaq how to play. after about 4 years of pain staking practice I can play along with Page and the boys. Love youtube. Kashmir is another one of my top 5 songs. Physical Graffiti is my Favorite album. Back in the 70s you could buy albums for 2.99 on sale. :)). Oh the 1977 Zeppelin Concert tickets were only like 29.00 AHHHHHHHH!!! I did finally see Page in his Outrider tour in 1988 about 20 feet away from him and got alot of eye to eye contact form Page. My dream came true. Anyway thanks for your great teaching Carl !!!

Call you’re one hell of a guitar player. I’ve been playing for 50 years. You smoke me out any day of the week man you’re a great goddamn Led Zeppelin rich is down perfect. I am not much in the hard rock, but Led Zeppelin was the ticket for me was my favorite hard rock band. But you’re the best I’ve ever seen at playing their songs you are one hell of a great guitar player you’re awesome..💖😁🎸🎼🎶🎵👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎸

Karl, Love your passion for Zep and great playing!... I hope you dont mind but I need to add some important info regarding Page's pickups and his tone... Page starting using the Les Paul live in April '69 and by late May he switched to it permanently leaving the Dragon Tele home... Originally he had the two original late '50s PAFs and in late '69 he took the cover off the bridge exposing the double white PAF.... HERE IS THE IMPORTANT PART... In early '72 during the Australian tour his bridge PAF failed... he replaced it in time for the '72 US tour (first time I saw them) with a chrome covered Gibson T-top... The T-tops were indeed generally lower in output than the PAFs (reading around 7.7K) so you are correct that his bridge pickup at that time was a lower reading than his original neck pickup which has been documented as reading somewhere in the mid 8s... BUT, the other key here is not only the lower reading but the tone of the T-top itself... it has a short magnet alnico 5 and is brighter and quackier than his original PAF bridge pickup... so YES when you mix the two together you get that iconic 1972 and later tone... it sounds a bit unusual and some think that he had phasing going on... HE DID NOT... and Brian Williams agrees with that, thats the tone you get by mixing those two pickup AND Jimmy Page's fingers!... I have had and have '50s Les Pauls and original '50s PAFs and original late '60s T-top and yeah thats the tone for sure.... But sorry Karl the one thing I wont agree with is Page often played in the middle with both pickup UP FULL, thats the only way to get that unusual twangy tone that you hear all over the Song Remains concert and the end of the Ocean on the album... Yes he did like to switch to the middle often and did so when he felt like it, including the riff of Rock and Roll... but on the Song remains he is starting Rock and roll on just the bridge.... One last thing... Plant actually DID introduce Bonzo and Pats Delight live in early '69!... But it was a completely different riff than Moby Dick... Wise we were able to jam on some Zep together some day, ROCK ON!

Really wish I'd been there with you two, filling in on bass guitar 😁

The Rover is my favorite off Physical as well. Favorite rocker. Favorite ballad off Physical is Ten years gone. Since P.G. is my favorite Zep LP then those must be my favorite Zep songs. Close second are Sick Again for a rocker and In The Light for the ballad.

I’m a big Spock’s Beard fan. Amazing stuff.

I do a similar thing with my pickups. Have a SD Full Shred in the neck, and a PAF in the bridge.

Hi, LOve and respect your channel! Is that a Fuzz pedal or a Blues driver? Sweet fuzz in the opening riffs!

Great video guys… I wonder if Jimmy Page would do a video with you to explain the techniques and career. I reckon these interview with demonstrations are invaluable as a record like the Gary Moore ones. Please Jimmy do it.
