Wow, that is good, really good. The only constructive criticism I can make is probably just the recording, but the faint parts were too faint. Was that the recording or the dynamics?

Otherwise I think you nailed it. Where is my tabla? I want to play along.

Tovo: Thanks Tovo, you are right about the increasing number of videos, and this is great. The benefit I see is that you try to have the song at his best. Instead of accepting an ok approach to your song, you get more critic about it and you work harder at improving it. I have found quite a few things I need to work on that I did not realize until I see myself on the video.

Chas: I saw that video and was quite impressed by the talent. I realize now that young people learn so much faster and how much more challenging it is at my age.

Bob: Thanks Bob, you almost have to be a Led Zeppelin fan to know that song as it was less commercial.

Mark: Thanks Mark, I am sure you will enjoy working on it, besides the tuning , the riff has this triplet with a delay. I normally play it in DADADGAD because it is easy to switch from notmal tuning to it without a tuner.

Jay: thanks for the comments. I know it is close but even after working for so long on it, my fingers still trips, but I still enjoy trying to improve.

Reiver; Thanks for the good comments.You had mentioned in a previous thread that you were not a big fan of LZ. Nevertheless they have a few other songs that uses alternate tuning that are not the typical rock heavy lead and screaming. Examples are: Friends, Bron-yr-Aur, Bron-Yr-stomp, Kashmir that are really fun to play

Many years ago I was taught to play a song and I was told that it was by Led Zeppelin. I tried it again a few days ago - but it seems too simple and I haven't a clue what it's called. I'm scared to post it in case I'm butchering someone's favourite song, but I would be interested to know if it is in fact a LZ track or not. Maybe over the holidays......... :unsure:

Well done Marc, I remember that one from my high school days. A long time ago! I listened to JP on yt and I liked your version better. Thanks for the inspiration, Jim

Forget what I said. I just put my headphones on and listened and didn't miss a thing. Gotta go check my speakers out in the morning.

Reiver, you should post it, I saw your other posts and I know you are not going to butcher anything. You are ahead of us.
