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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

Yes, I'm same as you. Those early 70's LP's are battle ship heavy. I had a '71 gold top deluxe that I sold even when I was younger and stronger, that I wish I still had. Fender type guitars are generally much lighter and easier to work on. I've got a squire that's so fun to upgrade and sling around. It weighs nothing. Thanks for your post, you sound very accomplished...

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 🎶 🎸 🎹

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

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.👍🏼👍🏼❤️

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.

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.

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

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.

This is a super cool video Tim. Thanks

Awesome as always!

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.

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!!

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

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 KZread; it's all so exciting and gives me that continued drive to learn to play.

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

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.❤🎸☮️

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

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 :).

Awesome job Tim!

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.

I’m a player since 1969 and still at it. I lucked out long ago by purchasing a ‘fret less wonder’ Les Paul custom black beauty. My grip on the left hand relaxed to minimum. My pick was either constantly rotating in my fingers to different edges and was in fact more often stuck in my lips. All this was not consciously acquired but just picked up by exploring the capabilities of the instrument. Today that style is just automatic no matter which of the many guitars or styles I play. I think a lot of that came from not having all the effects available today back in the beginning for me. Just playing the instrument to the full extent of its inherent capabilities inspired me.

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.

Some amazing blues licks of your own, Tim

Great teaching as usual. Thanks Tim

"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.

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.

Tim I'm so glad that I got onto your videos you are absolutely a genius and very well-versed in your delivery to people and just such a great grass roots up strategy that people can grass at any level and this business about your ergonomic technique is phenomenal and don't be surprised if up the road I don't become a patron and the subscriber is bars on the Institute side of things thank you very much

"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!

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

Love that Murphy Lab Les Paul Standard! Thank you for the breakdown!

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

You have good taste in Page riffs! Thanks.

Very inspirational video that makes me want to play more.

Absolutely brilliant.

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.

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!

Nice video with great explanations. Now I appreciate my Ephiphone Les Paul that sounds like your even more my friend.

I had brief dalliance with Celtic folk music and learned how to play the bodheran. The loose wrist technique you talk about is pivotal to that hand drum taught me so much about rhythm playing, and feels almost the same as how my wrist does playing funk. It’s coming from the arm with the wrist adding accents

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

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.

I have really small hands, being 5'6", and struggle to play the guitar instead of it playing me as a very amateur player.

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