This made me realize it has been a long time since I rock and rolled

Never had a problem with Zep...but AC/DC's Thunderstruck intro gave me the sweats for a minute...🤣

Think of the guitar intro to Johnny B Goode. It start on the upbeat of 3 and the accents JB is playing mimics that guitar part. Play that in your head while playing the intro..

The intro to Cowboys from Hell is also confusing. I've never gotten it right

You are working overtime with these uploads, man. God bless you for it!!

Played this song in the high school talent show in 1986. I pretty sure we did it right. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)

Thanks. Now I can correctly play that intro, after ....50 years of doing it wrong? wow thanks man

You really working the Tube these last 2 weeks bro. I hope you get the subs you deserve!!

man youve been on a roll with these vids mike! keep it up

Just saw the drummer from Tool talking about it and he made it even simpler. The drums themselves - starting with the first beat you hear- are saying: AND A ONE! - - AND A TWO! - - AND A ONE! - TWO! - ONE TWO THREE AND!

FN Awesome. No wonder I kept F'King it up. Much appreciated.

John Bonham is truly one of the most important of all time in drumming!

Awesome video! I was just wondering if there was any way to ever figure out how to count the intro correctly and woolaaaa your video appeared! Thanks for posting!!

Zeppelin actually did an intro for this song that synced up with the drums. It was taken out in the final mix. But imagine a Chuck Berry/Little Richard type guitar lick that starts on the & of 3. Johnny B Goode esque. That’s the counting that you hear!

Great lesson sir! Mystery solved indeed!

Thank you. This has never made sense before!

Thank you, this song has bugged me for almost FIFTY years.

thanks... this has bothered me my whole life.

It's actually just a Chuck Berry type intro a la Johnny B.Goode played on the drums instead. Bonzoleum was told of it.And he has communicated it in a very straightforward way.So it's really inspired by a guitar.And it is much easier than people think.

Big thanks! Like the drum view, too! Peace

Awesome video....I've been trying to figure this out for 41 years hahaha!

I started playing this in high school. Never counted it, I just kept playing it along with the record until I was in sync. Never had a problem with the band after that.

THANK YOU BRO !

I pick an invisible note in the air on the 1, as if there was a note previous to that, less confusing (at least to me) to start on the & of 1. Many songs are easy to start on the "&" but that snare os offputting!

The interesting thing about the Rock and Roll beat that I hear, is that when the whole band comes in, the whole song should sound kinda slower when you time it correctly, but to everyone else’s ears it sounds faster, because they’re thinking of coming in on the 4 beat because the beat tricks their brain into thinking it’s faster. It's almost more of a blues shuffle than it is a full out fast rock and roll song.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Thanks that made it easier. I've never played this right with a band

Bonzo was imitating the intro to Keep a Knockin by Little Richard

Nice one!

What model SG is that? It's beautiful

I don’t know if you noticed but you and the drummer are wearing the same shirt. Embarrassing. 😜

oh God, THANK YOU!!

How about the intro to All Along the Watchtower by Hendrix!! For something so simple I still can't get my head round it!!

Ah-ha! Thanks for sharing this!

I actually used to play (and hear for some reason) an extra A at the start, on the 1, so starting was never a problem. I was playing it wrong though.

Yes, all time hardest intro.

"Rock around the clock / Chuck Berry" rhythm intro. Every guitar player assumes that the drummer starts the count on the 1. The tough part is that he hits the high hat with the 3 eighth snare notes at the beginning.

Bonham's intro is the drum equivalent of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" guitar intro, starting on the "and" of 3 (like many other Berry songs). If you can think of it in those terms, it's really quite easy.. Like this guy: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ncdkacpnx9XYko0.html

hell yeah... thank you

Nice guitar sound, what are you playing it thru?

And the mystery of counting off the drum lick in the beginning of The Thrill Is Gone It starts on the And of 2. A lot get that wrong. Important song to get right.

The easier way is to just wait until you hear the "and 1, 2, 3, 4" -- Those being 8th notes.

Try the intro to Colony of Birchmen...

Always thought there were five beats right at the end before the crash on the one.

Could you check out Acds back in business,off the fly on the wall album,something very odd happening there,great channel just subscribed

Im liking these... the metallica one was interesting..👍👍👍👍😜😜😜😜😜👍👍👍👍

Cool.

You got the time right but the riff is played with alternate picking, start on upstroke

Zeppelin video? Of course LIKE EM

would it be wrong to start with an upstroke?

love the zeppelin

wow

Just make sure that you are all on the same Jimmy. 😉

Do black dog if you haven’t yet

Not really a mystery but I know it is confusing to many. Nice!

I had died and was moving towards the light when Jesus said, wait, first learn the timing on Zepplin's Rock and Rock, the intro before you enter my rest. Sure Jesus. Is there a video?

1,2,3 start

We balls this up every time 😂

Always confused me!

Doesn't work. The studio version snares are not clear enough to use this.

Never be sorry . . . for puns. :)

Where Zeppelin got it from: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hsl6paipyt3PiXU.html

Still can't get it lol.

Thanks for the great tip ..... BUUUTTTT .... wish you moved the drummer incert somewhere else as it blocks your fingering on the guitar.

And a 1, and a 2, and a 1 a 2 a 1 2 3 4 bam!

Why so complicated ?

Ok then

seven nation army bridge is very confusing

Easier way to count: And a 1 And a 2 And a 1, 2 1,2,3,4 1

чувак, тебе надо в музыкальную школу идти учиться, узнаешь много интересного.

Page is a peculiar musician and by that I mean that he marches to the beat of his own drum. There are a lot of musicians out there who play his riffs and licks but most of them have them wrong. He was a self-taught player and rarely if ever used one guitar track on record. He double, triple and even went as far as using five or six different guitar tracks on latter albums (Physical Graffiti and Presence....think Achilles Last Stance). To make matter worse for guitar neophyte like me, he had the drummer to follow him....because he is not easy to follow for a drummer believe me. This intro to Rock and Roll is all but one example. Another difficulty, when playing live, he had to create new arrangements to compensate for lack of another guitar player in the band so what he did in the studio and live are often two different things.
