      @@jamescassidy3995 ya, I’m in complete agreement with you. Jimmy was a master of composing stuff that sounds harder to play than it actually was, whereas a good bit of Hendrix sounds like it will be easy, but is actually way, way harder than it sounds.

    Hey PT/JJ, I just wanted to say "MUCH THANKS". I am one of your silent majority who came across your Privettricker channel a few years back. Each new video provided me with another valuable lesson. I love your no nonsense approach to playing a song and then simply breaking it down for us. Similar to you, I don't read tabs or music, and at 51 with two kids I don't have the time nor inclination to want to learn it now. I just want to play... and thanks to you I know I am much better than the day I first found your channel. Thanks again for your time, talent and unselfish willingness to share it with the rest of us. And for free... who and why would anyone ever complain about that. Good luck with the new channel... from just another guitar player who appreciates you and all that you have done. Peace!!!

    The thing that I love about Jimmy Page’s composing, is how he uses a bunch of different open tunings in his songs. Learning them really gets you “in-tune” or familiar with all these tunings, like for example the “Rain Song”, that song is “hard to play” for me.

There's plenty of vids that break down every chord and strum for beginners and tab them out (never got on with tab - far too slow), but those of us playing a couple of years or more, need more of what you do. although, this one some obscure chords, so thanks for going through them.
