  • This episode analyzes Led Zeppelin’s track, “Bring it on Home” a blues “sandwich” which closes the album
    Led Zeppelin II from 1969. During the intro to this video I demonstrate the epic guitar riff and verse guitar
    figures as three overdubs just like Jimmy Page played on the track: The main theme, the main theme
    doubled with the harmony part, and the octave up version of the main theme. Disclosure: That is me
    playing the guitar riffs live against a CZcams backing track. I’m using my 1970/72 Les Paul into a Bogner
    gain pedal into my Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp.
    In this episode I discuss: 1. the origins of the blues track (Willie Dixon composer, Sony Boy Williamson II
    recording artist; 2. The mindset of how to stay in the groove while playing the blues figure (it’s about a
    train ride and you have to keep steadily chugging through the figure); 3. the great Jimmy Page riffs that sit
    in between the blues bookends; 4. I compare the blues figure from Sonny Boy Williamson’s recording to
    Led Zeppelin studio version through to my favorite Led Zeppelin live version (LA Forum Sept. 4, 1970 “Live
    on Blueberry Hill”); 5. I also mention the greatest riff of all on this song is John Bonham’s opening double
    snare hit! Has anyone ever said more with less musically?
    This episode wraps up my journey through Led Zeppelin II. I have grown so much by bringing this
    reassessment of this music from my childhood to you. I’m so in love with this material I plan to play this
    album in local pubs live just to share it with people as soon as possible. From here I will pick some other
    great artists to start analyzing. Please give me as many suggestions as you can. And, of course, please
    like, subscribe and share this content. My ability to continue to present these videos requires the support
    of my camera guy and editor (I’m no good at those things). Anything we can do to build a base here will
    help me keep it going!
    Stemming from my 40+ years as a professional musician and composer as well as being a passionate
    musicologist, I bring a classical and historical perspective to my love of rock music by analyzing and
    playing some of the most iconic music of all time. At the heart of all my videos is my enthusiasm, my thirst
    for understanding and a gift for sharing the simple to sublime with others. Music and people are my life.
    Whether you’re a guitar player, musician, songwriter or just a music enthusiast, I’m sure you will find
    something in these videos to inspire you and make you smile.
    If you like what you see, please like, subscribe, comment and share! It really makes a difference!

    I remember reading Hammer Of The God's as a 9th grader. I am a drummer and ZEPPLIN was a butterfly that metaphorically grew into my life. Page was just a god like to me even as a little boy I could feel the machine drawing me to play hard and hit with attack. I still play drums and the little boy at 52 now still plows into ZEPPLIN.
    Amazing band....

    Thank you so much Carl. I’m from Sydney Australia and was about 14 years old when I got LZ2. I basically learned guitar by playing along with this album. Being so young and inexperienced I got a lot of the basics down but wasn’t able to get all the details. And the record wore out completely with all the needle juggling to try to hear details. I got a 68 les Paul custom when I was 15 and still have it today. I got to see LZ live in feb 73 in Sydney and it was the best show of my life so far. Your skill, experience, passion and insight is adding so much value to me I can’t thank you enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you……..

    • @CarlBaldassarreMusic
      @CarlBaldassarreMusic  Před 3 lety

      You’re very welcome! I’m glad the pick angle mindfulness helped you. There is so much to say on that. It’s important to recognize and allow yourself to continuously adjust the parameters to picking! There is NO “constant” at the molecular level. In fact my pick angle changes within that very riff to accommodate what’s necessary. If you’re stumbling trying to play something always check two things: the fingering and the picking (angles as well as motions -up/down etc). The problem is usually one or the other or both! Peace my friend!!

    Hi Carl, I just found you and your channel and I just subscribed! Led Zeppelin II I found back in June of 1972 when I first saw them at the Nassau Coliseum at age 14… And like you I have been immersing myself in my favorite album of all time Led Zeppelin II going on nearly 50 years! I can’t wait to dig into all your videos you’re doing a fantastic job of not only describing the technical aspects but the brilliance of the music itself… Blueberry Hill is my first ever bootleg as well, for me it was in 1973 that I first heard it… And while the studio version of Bring It On Home blows me away every time I listen to it, the live version from Blueberry Hill has got its own bit of magic for sure!… Love that you’re touching on it here… One little thing I’m surprised that you did not mention though in this video. Yes the main riff is one of Jimmy‘s best of all time. But those double stop and triad chords things that he’s doing underneath Plants vocals are some of the most manic an amazing playing I’ve ever heard him do… And pure tone from the gods!… rock on 😊

      So agree on the verse chordal riffs. They were one of my most delightful new licks to discover. I played wrong when I was young and was blown away with his great it feels under my fingers when I figured it out for these videos. Sometimes I get so excited doing these videos sharing everything I love I forget some of the main points I wanted to make!!

    I love your videos!! The level of care and detail you employ to go into these analyses is really wonderful to see and also learn from. One possible suggestion: I would love to listen to your videos analyzing each Zep album as a collection, so maybe consider putting, for example all of the Led Zeppelin II videos in a single playlist?

    Carl, Zeppelin II has been a great ride, first off Thank-You so much for putting in the time and work into this series. Appreciate and enjoy it very much. Secondly, will be looking forward to what comes next. Positive if it isn't a LZ album will still be a fabulous one. Tell anyone I know to check out your channel, don't do a whole lot of social media to tell the world.
    Was very happy with your pointing out the proper way Page does the harmony. A mistake I've heard many times and a pet peeve. Cheers my friend.

      @@CarlBaldassarreMusic know exactly what you mean. Do find it refreshing looking/listening to these fabulous songs via someone else's eyes/ears.
      Said to someone recently, 'no matter how long you play the Guitar or listen to a song, you'll always hear and learn something new. Especially playing an instrument. There's many ways and variations to play the same bunch of notes. Don't ever think the journey is over and you have it figured out, that's when one stops learning'. This was after he told me he'd figured out the Zeppelin Catalog in a couple months and was moving on. Sigh!! So many reasons that is sad. Is it really learning to enjoy and understand? Or memorize how to play to say "ya I know that"? The journey has so much to enjoy along the way.
      Take care. Can hardly wait to see what's next.

    Cool video again, Carl, thank you. That's quite the journey! Regarding Willi Dixon and this song, I'm trying to dig up an old Jimmy Reed recording (I think it's on a CD packed away on a shelf) in which he delivered the lines: "Took a little walk down down, messed and got back late, find a note here waiting for me, said 'Daddy I just can't wait" I was gobsmacked because like every other Zep Head, I knew the estate of Willi Dixon won the copyright. I had no idea Plant had ransacked Jimmy Reed as well! On reflection it's not surprising, since Plant was a genuine blues fan and afficionado even at age 19. He would've soaked up that lyric like all the others: he was marinated in it. 😁

    I love your videos. So many of these reaction videos add nothing and get old quickly. Yours are great because you don't play the track that we have all heard a million times but instead give fabulous insights into how it was played and created. I would love to see you react to the complete 8/31/69 show as well as a Europe '73 show like 3/22/73 or 3/24/73 particularly the "Dazed and Confused" and "Whole Lotta Love" from those shows. Jimmy's playing is at its peak and the Bonham Page syncopation during the blues part of the "Whole Lotta Love" medley is always unique. And for more great Page moments, "Thank You" from 1/22/73 which has a particularly beautiful solo and very different than the 1970 "Thank You" solos and "No Quarter" from 2/12/75 which again has a particularly beautiful Page solo.
