To be able to imagine a piece of great music, knowing how it would sound, write it down and then play it later? True talent. Jonsey will always be one of my favorite musicians.
He did scoring and arrangements for studios before Page recruited him into Led Zep You know the strings from The Rolling Stones' _She's A Rainbow_ ? His work. Dude is an absolute music machine
That is what we do as musicians. We can hear what we’re making in our heads before there’s an instrument in our hands, like Tesla could imagine his inventions 3d and turn them in his head
It's much less so talent as it is the result of putting in the work. Which frankly is a far greater compliment to someone than that they just happened to be born with some kind of innate magic ability..

@@anggie2904I think you might need to take STH off list IDK , but I thought I heard an early version not bye Led Zeppelin that did sound a lot similar. Could be F’n interweb BS 🤷🏻♂️
It's the riff that woke me from my Top 40 slumbers as a kid. I still remember where I was the first time I heard Black Dog. That song changed me forever. I'm not sure it was for the better, but it changed me.
I don't doubt the riff was Jones' tho the 'Black Dog' vocal call & guitar response ie gospel influenced song arrangement was an homage to Peter Green's 'Oh Well' which is written in a similar vocal call & guitar response form..
That kind of thing is common to many blues songs... The Who's cover of Mose Allison's 'Young Man Blues' is another example. The original has the same structure but is based around a piano riff.
There is always that one guy in a group(seems alot are base players) that are the secret ingredient to a successful band. This is the case with LZ. JPJ is Highly underrated
You can go online and listen to them rehearsing it when they first started learning it. It is the coolest thing because John Paul Jones will play the guitar riff on the base definitely sick. You gotta hear it.
Led Zeppelin was 3 parts awesome musicians and 1 part legendary singer. Each member brought a unique gift to write and play great music. I do often feel that JPJ doesn't get the recognition he deserves. I absolutely love Led Zeppelin and will never tire of their music. May the mighty Zeppelin fly forever.
I agree with you 100 per cent. I seen them in the early 70s in NYC. They did Going to California. They put 3 chairs at the from of the stage. Robert, JPJ and Jimmy sat there and performed. Let me tell you JPJ played that mandolin beautifully. I was in awe of how good he was. Now I adore that song and always tell my guitar playing friends to "learn THAT Song.
He doesn't get the credit he deserves but that made some fans swing the opposite way and continuously tout his prowess to the point of exaggeration. Same with George Harisson and Brian Jones.
John Paul Jones was the unsung hero of the band. Liké Richard Manuel of the Band. Both suported the music and added the ambiant phrasing that produced some memoral tunes. Well done.
There is no question that John Paul Jones is a genius. That Led Zeppelin's original band members are all genius', - working together to create a unified effect, has established Led Zeppelin as a Legend that will survive centuries of being the standard of the greatest and most exceptional music of its genre.
No it wasn’t. Anne Briggs taught it to Jansch (Known as Blackwaterside), although she didn’t record it until much later in 1971. She had learned it from Mary Doran who had recorded it in 1952, but even then it was an old traditional song of unknown origin and author.
Yeah, it's definitely one of the most unique rock songs ever. I still remember first hearing my uncle play it while helping install the hard wood floors in my family's house as a kid. It's so jolting and powerful with the call and response between Robert Plant and the band.
That’s unreal and makes a lot of sense. It’s one of his hardest riffs. Also just for a second pause and think about what was said…dude was on a train…singing in his head…realized it was a great loop…WRITES IT OUT ON A TRAIN TICKET…’scribble scribble treble clef, scribble scribble scribble bass clef…immortal song, done!’ ‘Hey mate, play this, will ya??’ That doesn’t happen with very many bands. None before them, I would argue.
Black Dog is not in an odd time signature. The drum part just starts in the middle of the bar so it's a little hard to figure out where the 1 is at first
It is literally in an odd time signature since that's what 5/8 is. The song shifts between 4/4 and 5/8. I'm not sure why that would've been hard for the band, since by IV they were already experimenting with more complex rhythms and meters.
Pls explain that all the riff of Kashmir, STH, Rain song, Ten Years Gone, Immigrant Song, SIBLY, Rock and Roll, TSRTS, The Rover, Achilles, In The Evening are stolen, quick!
I've seen the videos, and theres about 30 or 40 songs that have similar riffs to others, but having learned a majority of both versions on guitar myself they are actually quite different. This is normally referred to as inspired. Unlike Elvis presely, led zeppelin didn't steal music, they wrote a few riffs here and there that were similar to existing riffs. If their songs were the same as existing songs I would say they're thief, but considering in an 8 minutes song there is about 20 seconds that is similar to an existing song, with the rest being totally original, I'm thinking it's more of an homage than a rip off.
I used to catch a train for 3 hours to and from work when I was 19. Now 55. I used to play my walk man and write down the music every trip to work but kept an ear out back because I caught the midnight train home
Jones probably wrote about half of everything you might have thought was Page, if you count riff contributions and musical ideas and general input. He was the brains behind the operation.
Didn't JPJ also write the riff for Misty Mountain Hop? I know it's on organ/electric organ, but the organ riff is basically the same as the guitar riff, just like Black Dog. Love Misty Mountain Hop, so catchy! Anyway, great short!
I believe that the screwed up timing of the song wasn't intentional at first. They just had trouble syncing up the guitar and drums and decided to go with it.
JPJ was the silent superpower in Zeppelin. Criminally underrated.
He for damn sure was underrated. Both Robert Plant and Jimmy Page will both say that their sound would have sucked without the rhythm section of Jones on bass and John Bonham on drums.
Amen to that!
Those who know, know.
I’ve been preaching that for decades. Brilliant musician.
He's well respected, not at all underrated. There's always someone calling someone 'underrated'
JPJ is an unappreciated genius
certainly
Yeah the bassist of some tiny band called Led Zeppelin
Only unappreciated by the ignorant.

Never underappreciated by those who know

Well…he did write riffs to change up the songs he stole.
When we are very, very generous we can say Page adapted Dazed and Confused from Jake Holmes' song. And that's just the first example.
lets hear what you "wrote"
@ dlC: why? It has zero relevance for Page "adapting" Jake Holmes' riff.
JPJ inspired me to learn the Bass back in the early 1970's. His Zeppelin bass lines were pure genius! Ramble On!

He also composed the riff on In The Light, which uses an unusual scale.
Learning and playing along with that song is a special exercise in pain. But I keep trying.
Jones probably wrote about half of everything you might have thought was Page, if you count riff contributions and musical ideas and general input. He was the brains behind the operation.
The idea that there's only ONE Led Zep riff that Page didn't write is just so, "Oh, my sweet, summer child!"
And he drove the limo as well-😁
Very under appreciated
