This is another real classic Led Zeppelin track off of the "Houses of the Holy" album released way back in 1973. Once you figure out the tuning, it's not too difficult to play and it sounds really nice with all the open strings. This is the acoustic part of the lesson, but I'll be doing the electric part soon so look for a link to part 2 at the top of this page. I had a really great time working out, recording the parts and planning the lesson to this tune. I hope you have fun playing the song! The guitar I'm playing here is a Taylor 214ce koa deluxe. I really like this guitar, it intonates amazingly well and it's tone is very balanced. It's also very easy to play. The strings are Elixir phosphor bronze 12-53 with nanoweb coating. These strings are a little bit more expensive, but for me they easily last 4-5 times longer than non coated strings. Folks may be surprised at how much time and effort goes into creating these videos. If you're getting something out of the lessons and can afford to contribute to the cause, I've setup a Paypal link. If you can't afford it no worries, but if you can, any amount is appreciated and will help me to continue to make the videos.
