@@RickBeato Hi Rick. Just finished watching this video over a few times. I have an EKO Ranger Xll jumbo from new many years ago (I'm 70 yo now and had it since I was about 19 yo). It is Italian made and looks identical to the Vox. Shape, scratch plate ( which was destroyed by winter frosts in the boot of my car) bridge (yes adjustable too but 12 string ) ,also with the bolted backplate. Everything about that guitar sounds like mine even to this day ( Even better now imo ). It has quite a few dings in it too. Cracks from the cold overnight frost put cracks in the thick lacquered finish. Many years ago I discovered one of my fav bands called Family had a great guitarist called Charley (John ) Whitney and he played the same guitar as mine. I never knew this at the time until my brother pointed it out to me. (not sure if his was 12 or six string but the 12 string sounds much better imo ) I compared the two guitars because my sister bought the 6 string version year after. The likeness is uncanny to the Vox. I'm from the UK and now in Australia for 17 years. Even though the scratchplate is no longer there, The outline of the glue where it was is clearly visible. Is the Vox Italian made by any chance? It would be an interesting thing to find out maybe. Thanks for making those outstanding videos. He plays the 12 string on his Streetwalkers band on a track called My Friend the sun. Hope you like them. Roger Chapman one of my singing heroes was leader of both Family and Streetwalkers. :)

That picture is when Jimmy was recording a song that never made it on the record called LaLa. This was revealed by him in an interview with Jeff Koons. It was released on the remasters last song on the second disc of Led Zeppelin II. Having said that I'm sure he probably used the same guitar for Ramble On as it was "around". However, from the look of the headstock logo it looks to be an Eko which is the same guitar under a different label.

that would be basic guitar awareness (different tone/sound produced by where you strum it) not so much years of experience. And his friend identified the guitar by the picture and not by ear. And I don't think Jimmy strummed the guitar away from the sound hole so the microphone would pick up more sound. He did so to get a different sound out of the guitar.

As soon as you started strumming closer to the bridge the Sound and the tone was spot on. I don’t know anything about music or what you’re talking about but I always understand you. Thats why I watch almost every video. Thanks.

Jimmy also played Eko Acoustics too, you can find pictures of him with a 12 string from the 60's. The Vox V238 Country Western guitar was manufactured for Vox by the Italian guitar manufacturer, Eko. The Vox Country Western was essentially a rebadged Eko Ranger 6 guitar (which I have).

This was awesome. You need to have a Ph.D from MIT to compose? I think the most impactful advance Rick made to mimic Jimmy’s sound is when he realized that he needed to strum closer to the bridge.

"Leaves are fallin all around, time I was on my way...." in 8th grade I wanted to hear ALL the LZ stuff. They just came out with "In through the out door" in 1979. I was 13 and I was hooked. Sadly I never was able to see them as Bonham died the next year.

Fun fact, such a masterpiece was recorded using one of the cheapest and most common guitars made in Italy: Vox acoustics were produced by Eko ("made in Italy" during those years was the same as "made in China" nowadays), using everything except solid woods and were the most affordable string instruments avaible here in Italy from the 60's to the late 80's. I can say that almost every teenager from my times (I'm 45) has cursed the project of the bolt on neck for it's instability and has been grateful to the company for selling the perfect instrument for beach serenades (thick varnish, bolt on bridge, plywood) and summer loves. Long life to these old babies and thanks, Maestro Beato, for your priceless job!

I’ve always been drawn to this song and have tinkered with it for the past 5 decades. I’ve always thought of it as a simple vamp between E and Asus chords. But the melody seems to be a blend of E pentatonic and E mixolydian scales. Brilliant! My admiration for Jimmy Page continues to grow.

Rick,I always enjoy your stuff. Big fan. Someone asked me what you do and i couldnt really answer. Until you said "producer" I had not a clue. I said to my friend that you are a music analyst, theorist. Now that I know that you are Producer I can look you up and see what you have done. I was kind of jelous seeing all of your instruments and had to ask myself " why does this guy have all these great instruments"? Now I know. Love all of your toys and your analytic mind. We are going to lose most of our knowledge of how to get these classic sounds and without people like you Rick B, a lot of the great stuff will just be listened to instead of their tricks passed on to the next generation.

In your version I hear an open string which sounds different than Jimmy’s version. Other than that you are spot on with your feel on recreating the sound.

That's also a good example of a sound that requires the proper technique AND simliar gear/amp settings to get it just right - especially when it comes to getting those harmonics!

Another special sound I can think of is the pulsing tremolo sound on "How Soon Is Now?" by The Smiths. Apparently it's a sound that has proved so difficult to properly recreate that Morrissey uses a backing track of the sound when performing the song live.

Awesome on Ramble On Rick. Jimmy slides into the E and A a little bit. You are always great!

I know Rick put a lot of effort into this video and it probably doesn't get as many views as he would expect. But for people who love this level of detail, we can't get enough. Thank you Rick!

My dad owned one of those guitars for as long as I can remember. Here in the Nederlands it has a different brand name. Over here it’s a Eko guitar and the model name is Ranger. It was made in Italy in the 60s. The Vox acoustic was essentially a rebadged Eko guitar. I learned to play guitar on it as a kid and when my dad passed away on new year’s eve 2018, I inherited the guitar. I will charish that guitar for as long as I live. My dad’s birthday is 19th of august, the same date as when this video was uploaded. He would of turned 75 this year. Ramble on is also one of my favourite Led Zeppelin songes. Thanks Rick for all your video’s. Especially this one. Cheers!

I recognized it immediately. I bought my Ranger 6 back in the '60s when In was 17 and it's been with me ever since. Until now I never realized they sold them under the Vox label, but the guitars are prety much identical, though this one doesn't have the lovely quilted wood mine has. Hard to believe he played Ramble on using a guitar mostly made for teenagers.

Yep, same pickguard, bolt on neck fittings, cracked super thick lacquer, zero fret and wide, flat bridge as my Eko Ranger 12. The only other song I'm aware of that was recorded with an Eko is Stealers Wheel's Stuck in the Middle with You. And yep, with the factory fitted, almost lipstick style pickup it can sound a lot like a solid body, especially when strung as a 6. Bought mine 2nd hand 15 years before my son was born, he's now 18 and will get it in turn when i go.

@@shythylacine Wow, another surprise. You always think they record these famous songs with Martins and Gibsons. Eko's motto was, "90 percent of the sound of a Martin, 10 percent of the price." Mine has some spectacular finish cracks after a college friend left it in his car for a whole day in below-zero temps. But it still chugs on. I mostly use it to play slide these days.

"What Makes This Sound Great" would indeed be a great forensic series to make, Rick. It would be cool to do it as old school as possible (i.e., without the reliance on modern plugins until the very last to finish dialing it in).

I love learning anything about how music is made, and you give a lot of info, Thanks!

I would like to see you recreate the guitar tone from Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream, particularly the solo from Cherub Rock. The tone on that record is a deceptively simple fuzz tone but always seems like it was just a pinch away from feeding back and sounded so raw.

You'll never see this Rick, but for posterity and the record, I had such a blast sitting here in my Covid Livingroom with a Taylor 214ce DLX and it's bolt-on neck, nailing every move you and Jimmy made. So much fun!!! You'd be howling with gales of laughter. I am 67 and never stopped playing from that Avatar Pic on the left at age 4 until forever...Thanks, you are so much good for all of us!

Awesome! You could probably do a whole series of this on just Zep!

Excited about this new series, Rick! Thanks for all you do!

Adding my vote to "Recreating the Sound" as a new series!

That 'slide' sound is a little more pronounced on Jimmy's guitar. But you nailed it. You are doing God's work, Rick. I hope this becomes a recurring series. I would love to see you re-create that *'bee-buzz' guitar sound of Justin Hayward's 1963 Gibson ES-335* on many of the Moody Blues songs. example: You and Me (Seventh Sojourn 1972)

I have a theory about this. My guess is that Rick is using D'addario Phosphor Bronze strings (in an earlier video he said his new go to string is a set of PB .12s). Phosphor Bronze strings weren't invented until the mid seventies. I'd wager Page had his strung with 80/20 bronze strings in that recording session. And to my ear, that accounts for most of that difference, as that alloy tends to be a little brighter on the top end. And there's just a slightly different tonality to them than Phosphor Bronze strings, and I hear it in Page's original tone. I'm just one of those guys that's really geeky about acoustic guitar tones in particular. I hope my theory is interesting to someone out there! To end this rambling, 2020 sucks, I'm sure glad I can unplug and watch nerdy music videos at one in the morning with y'all. Lmao

Ricky 4001? Pick-player, for sure. Good luck with the rest of that chemistry. I'll say this, though... U.K. Engineers of the '60's and early '70's buggered up the bass tone. Could have been so much better, even with 1972 tech. Fragile is still my #1 stranded on an island album. Mr. Beato gives YES way too little love. I've busted him on that a couple times.
