Not to be that guy ,but I called it "Die-er Maker" for years.It's actually "Jer-Maker" as in "Did you make her" or Jamaica ( guy tells a friend his wife left.Friend asks "Jamaica ?" Guy replies "No,she left on her own accord").Heard this in an interview w/either Page or Jonesey years ago.I mean ,it is Zeppelin's version of a reggae
Me too, I’m pretty sure s lot of people pronounced it that way too. I found out this year, while listening to it on the radio, and the radio host said how to pronounce it correctly
Hi, Dave. I recently found your channel via "Chords for Van Halen" and have watched a bunch of your other chord play videos. They have helped me tremendously understanding sus chords and the building of chords. I'm an at home 60 year old hobbyist and would consider myself a novice but getting better all the time. Grew up on Zep, Deep Purple, VH etc... Love your way of presenting and explaining and not just teaching note for note but the whole "feel" of the progression!! Thank-you very much!! Jimmy Page rocks!!!! :)
The Rain Song and Ten Years Gone are definitely 2 of my 5 fave Zep tunes. I used to have my acoustic with me everywhere I went and both of those songs sound great on acoustic. Gotta say, I love your taste in music.
Jimmy is definitely the master! Ten Years Gone, The Lemon Song and The Rain Song are 3 of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs! Would love to be able to sit down with you and jam on the classics!
Love it! A great, detailed look at one of rock's most innovative guitarists! Awesome! Dave can you maybe consider doing an in-depth look at the "Chords of Aerosmith"? Preferably the earlier years, and especially the song Combination? Thanks!
Heck yeah! That song RULES and I love when Jimmy Page puts chords together. There's just magic flying around everywhere when he picks up a guitar and creates a chord progression. : )
DB...learning page's stuff has kept me busy all my guitar playing life....i think my no. 1 fav song is "for your life" off of Presence...great snippet of pages mastery.....rock on my brother!!!!
Dave...how can I tell you "your the man"!!!!! let me try....YOU DA MAN!!!!!!!! man , you have a great way of breaking down tunes......Thank you for making us all much better.
Love this channel of yours !! I was Born in 82 so im prob close to your age , grew up listening to them, Nazareth, ac/dc, the stones etc.. same musical taste as you. I’m just getting back into playing guitar and your pointers and insight are freakin awesome!! Thank you for all this!
Hi David I just wanted to thank you for what you're doing. This chordplay playlist is truly a treasure! I was looking for some meaningful lessons on classic rock and heavy rock but there's zero valuable content on that topic on youtube apart from some partial tab videos where everything is presented in a mindless and scattered manner. Your videos are amazing you take all the best performers and explain how to play the most important parts of their best pieces. Something like this is so hard to find if not impossible. It would be amazing if you did a playlist on blues rock too and I mean blues-rock specifically because there's literally zero content on that on youtube. Or at least a couple of videos on bands like Blues Saraceno would be great. Thank you again!
Just in case no one else mentioned it, D'yer maker is pronounced Jamaica. Its a reggae parody and also a famous joke. My wife went to the west indies, d'yer make 'er, no, she went of her own accord. As in did you make her , thanks
Great stuff, Dave! I have just discovered your channel and I'm blown away by it. Keep 'em coming! Ten Years Gone is also my favorite Zeppelin song :) Cheers from Brazil!
Regarding ten years gone there is a second progression of chords that come after the bridge and they are so beautiful regardless if your playing electric or acoustic, nice lesson.
I think when Page plays D'yer Maker he plays the held E note on the B-string as well when he slides from B to C on the high E-string during the A-minor part. Essentially droning the E note during that slide to keep with the Diad feel.
The lesson is interesting. But I´d rather see someone write something with these chords in the style of Zeppelin. That would be really challenging! But I guess it is up to us to accomplish that!
Christo Volksto Actually you are correct, it is an D minor chord but it is in second inversion because the 5th, the open A string is being played on the bottom.
Just stumbled across your channel, really digging it. Great content and a lot of your influences and guitar experiences ring true with me. Keep up the great work!!
Man dave this stuff is awesome!! I love that you identify the oddities of different awesome artists and their works. The STP and Zeppelin are my two fav chordplays because they’re both legends and quite similar to me. Btw, what’s with the cool pick mural in the background?
Hey David, you’ve analyzed a lot of fantastic bands on this channel. Have you thought about doing a video on Kansas? I’d like to see your commentary on them one day. Thanks for the content!
there's so many good led Zeppelin songs it's not funny but the one that sticks in my mind always is tangerine for some reason that song just makes my hair stand up
That second chord in “Ten Years Gone” is just a D minor with A in the bass, Dmin./A, nothing more. It functions as the iv chord in the key of A major which is normally D major so the D minor chord is a substitution for the D major chord. In this case the D minor chord is being borrowed from the A minor scale, the parallel minor key to A major. It’s important to not assign names to chords that makes them more difficult to understand. You must always analyze each chord within the context in which it is being played. You have to look at the chord that comes before it AND the chord that comes after it. Peace.
Jimmy discovered DADGAD from none other than Al "year of the cat" Stewart' who jimmy met on a session in london who had been taking lessons with folk legend Bert Janch .
That's interesting, but I'm pretty sure Jimmy Page didn't play it that way. He kept things streamlined and as simple as possible (most of the time). Besides, an individually fretted A major chord in open position feels really weird to my fingers and I usually play it using middle-third-pinkie, as I have a hard time cramming all of my fingers along the second fret cleanly. The index finger bar makes WAY more sense (to me). That's one of the beauties surrounding the guitar - there are variables and variations everywhere you look and there's always another way to fret or perform something. : )
why hasn't any one told you about your mic placement .some times when talking its clear then when play an talk it becomes softer no so clear? hope are able to fix that.
@@timothyholmes4588 OK, I'll bite. Of the notes in that chord (D, F, A, E), the A is the only one that might be heard as the root of an augmented triad. So you're saying the "sus4" explains why we have a D instead of C#, and then you have the fifth, E. But that analysis doesn't account for the F, which the bass highlights. Plus that chord doesn't *behave* like an augmented chord, which are usually dominant-seventh substitutions/expansions. Its pitches resolve to the notes below them, whereas the pitches of an augmented chord typically act as leading tones that resolve up. Futhermore, what song would start I - I+sus4? Much more likely that it goes I - iv9. The minor subdominant is unusual, but not unprecedented. I'm not trying to pick a fight - to my ears it's just a more straightforward explanation of the harmony. Perhaps Mr. Brewster can enlighten us as to why he heard it as an augmented chord??
@@lincolnballard3588 I have a different take on this (of course). In the context of the song, the second chord Jimmy Page is playing is a first inversion Fmaj7 add 6. It's not D minor nor is it some augmented A chord. The chord progression in the beginning of "10 Years Gone" alternates between A and F. This is emphasized when the bass comes in, which is laying down the tonic for each chord. Looking at it through that lens, the second chord is F-A-F-A-D-E, which is Fmaj7 add 6. JPJ is supplying the low F tonic, and Jimmy is playing the first inversion of the chord starting on the third, which is the A. The context is important here - grab a guitar and just play A and Dm back and forth. Then play A and F back and fourth. Which progression sounds more like "10 Years Gone?" The A to F one does, no contest.
@@jimmiefarmer3022 a solid analysis that makes more sense than any augmented chord, esp considering the bass part. What we're talking about is po-TATE-o vs. po-TOT-o, since both the Dm and the F are altered subdominants. That chord is like a prism you can hold up at different angles and see different tonal refractions. I tend to think JP admired it for its unusual sound rather than thinking "how can I tweak an F/Dm chord here?" Thanks for chiming in!
LATE NIGHT, jimmy page uses weird chords for the zep acoustic guitar songs also the chords voicing he uses on the 12string guitar chords. Can you show some in a future video on jimi page 12 string guitar chords and acoustic guitar chords he used.
Hi Dave, thanks for doing the led Zeppelin Chord play. I got a lot out of! I like Jimmy Page just like Ace frehley does. Would you consider doing an Ace frehley video on his early years? Maybe the Alive album.
@@LateNightLessons awesome I look forward to seeing it and hearing it! what kind of amp are you running through with the Les Paul? And what kind of mic sm57?
1- Yrs Gone - Everybody plays an open B string in the first chord change - I blv its a hammer from the A to the B note on the 3rd string... PS How did ppl not know that Dyer Maker is C- Am - F - G? Kashmir - If youre in std tuning - the chord rundown is a simple Dsus -D, Csus- C, Asus-A, Gsus-G, Fsus
D'yer Mak 'er? :)) It's a play on words. "Did you make her" but in a British accent it would be pronounced "Jamaica", (hence the reggae ...). You don't call the song "Dier Maker".
@@LateNightLessonsDangit!( First guitar I had was a Les Paul ( probably Japanese copy) just like that back in around 1978. Such a cool axe...wish Gibson would still make the Ebony Standard
A guy who appreciates the complexity and soul of Jimmy’s guitar work.
Not many like him.

Ahh, now we're talkin, Page is my favorite for sure!!
I love the chords he uses on The Wanton Song
I thought for sure he was going to include that middle section of Wanton - some really unusual chords in there
Great choice of Zeppelin songs. No Stairway, thanks for that
The Rain Song and Ten Years Gone are definitely 2 of my 5 fave Zep tunes. I used to have my acoustic with me everywhere I went and both of those songs sound great on acoustic. Gotta say, I love your taste in music.

was lucky enough to see Jimmy play Ten Years Gone as a kid living in NYC.....was during the 77 tour
Love it! A great, detailed look at one of rock's most innovative guitarists! Awesome!
Dave can you maybe consider doing an in-depth look at the "Chords of Aerosmith"? Preferably the earlier years, and especially the song Combination? Thanks!
Great lesson, Dave! Love me some Page. Check out the bridge parts on The Wanton Song. Chord work is brilliant. Jimmy is a genius.
Heck yeah! That song RULES and I love when Jimmy Page puts chords together. There's just magic flying around everywhere when he picks up a guitar and creates a chord progression.
: )
@@LateNightLessons It really is magical.
Couldn't agree more. The Wanton Song bridge part is so Jimmy. The main riff is killer too, very similar to the Immigrant Song riff of course.
DB...learning page's stuff has kept me busy all my guitar playing life....i think my no. 1 fav song is "for your life" off of Presence...great snippet of pages mastery.....rock on my brother!!!!
5:29 Dave, it's pronounced like someone with a London accent (cockney) would say Jamaica "Jer-make-urr" because the track is inspired by reggae
I could listen to Zeppelin all day.
Their music carries me away, clears my mind.
Ten years gone is an example of how their music lifts you up.
Dave...how can I tell you "your the man"!!!!! let me try....YOU DA MAN!!!!!!!! man , you have a great way of breaking down tunes......Thank you for making us all much better.
First time on here and I already love this guy's teaching method.

I don't think he's realised that's what the play on words is. Nice of you to hint though. It was really good though!
Thank you very much. I love your channel and your tips. One of the best channels for guitarists.
I love chord based riffs too. This is my new favorite youtube channel!
David, that was very eye opening. Thank you for posting!!!!

Learned so much more about Jimmy Page and his chord progressions in his songs here😊👍🏻

Led Zeppelin is best Band ever!!!!!
His acoustic work is brilliant to.

Beginning reminds me a bit of It’s Late by Queen
A Great lesson! Also, I've watched many of David's videos. 👍
Brilliant lesson!
Thank you!
Love the lessons man, would love more Buckethead style lessons!
Very cool and thank you!
I'll try to whip up a Three-For-All Buckethead lesson sometime soon, so stay tuned!
: )
Great video! I love your explanations of the chords.
I agree about the second chord in Ten Years Gone being a D minor- a minor IV substitute. Rather than being an A Augmented.
3:58 I think of that as Dm first inversion FWIW
Christo Volksto Actually you are correct, it is an D minor chord but it is in second inversion because the 5th, the open A string is being played on the bottom.
@@indigosoundsstudio yeah -- I meant the fingered part, the little three-note shape

I like 10 Years gone too! But my favs are properbly The Ocean and The Rover ... or No Quarter ... there are so many more tunes ...
I've think that Ten Years Gone is my favorite as well.

Most understated video intro ever 😅
Love it!
Great stuff Dave. Love the lessons. Are you familiar with Trey Spruance (Mr Bungle)? ....a lesson on his stuff would be amazing!
there's so many good led Zeppelin songs it's not funny but the one that sticks in my mind always is tangerine for some reason that song just makes my hair stand up
Except for the opening riff, The Lemon Song is a blatant rip of 'Killing Floor' by Chester Burnett (aka 'Howlin' Wolf').
Talking of Rival Sons... How about doing a show on their songs? There's more than a few classic riffs in their repertoire.

D'yer Mak'er = Jamaica. Hence the reggae sound to the song.
I just think of the A aug sus 4 chord as Dm, which is pretty common against A.
Try Drop D for Ten Years Gone :)
Jimmy discovered DADGAD from none other than Al "year of the cat" Stewart' who jimmy met on a session in london who had been taking lessons with folk legend Bert Janch .
magicthankyou
Do a Skip James chordplay
ten years gone is dropped d
It's not.
John Paul Jones is a hell of a bass player to.
If you play that A maj in Ten Years with three fingers rather than as a bar, and then it makes more fingering sense.
That's interesting, but I'm pretty sure Jimmy Page didn't play it that way.
He kept things streamlined and as simple as possible (most of the time).

A augmented sus4 is an over-analysis for the Ten Years Gone part *with all due respect!*. It's just Dm9
coming from an a major chord it's an augmented sus 4 actually.
