You can tell an insane amount of time and energy went into this lesson to pick off exactly what he was playing on the album, so many variations of the lick, nice work

All those 60s and 70s guitarists were monsters on guitar chords and shapes, but to me Jimmy is at the top of the food chain always and forever, this song proves it.

Just had the most enjoyable afternoon learning to play this song that I've loved for 30 years. I'm buzzing. Thank you very much.

[WinstonGuitar]

Perfect. The best tutorial. He just plays it, plays it well and sets up the camera so we can see him playing it. No yapping, no chit-chat. thanks so much!!

Just absolutely one of the best and most kind and caring instructors out on the web.

[mtleon]

Oh my goodness. Probably the best guitar tutorial ever. You show the tough, actual chords, no shortcuts. You make the strings ring when they're supposed to and mute when they're supposed to. I will continue to work on this and check out your other lessons. Will definitely make me a better player. Thank you!

This lesson still stands up 10 years later - thanks!

5 years later and I am now passing this on to my son who is playing. You will live through the ages.

Wow, thanks so much for just playing it up front. Usually I just need to see how it's played. I hate the lessons that start with, "OK, we're gonna learn how to play "Ramble On" by Led Zeppelin". I'm like, I know, that's why I clicked on the video! Thank you so much.

you are a MASTER of intonation, voicing, rhythm, subtle nuance, tonality, will be working on this soon.Jimmy Page would be honored for you to tutor his honored that you've broken down his tune

First of all, your youtube videos are far and above some of the best tutorials anywhere. Your patience and detailed explanations are simply amazing. You have over 70, 000 thousand subscribers. We should all send him a dollar of month. That's less than a cup of coffee a month for the best tutorials on the planet by some of the greastest song every written. He should be able to sit home and devote his time to more videos. 12 dollars over the course of a year is meaningless to us for all we get back. I am headed to paypal to give him 12.00 now. I challenge all of you to do the same. Let the man do what he does!

Wow is right, I never knew the whole song, but NOW this song is going on my list of requests. This song is what strumming is all about. I saw LED ZEPPELIN in Oakland coliseum 7-23-77 up front and center, day on the Green. Jimmy's bow bounced off his fretboard as he threw his amazing wizard of music dustsparkles all over us..77, 000...I was 7th in line..spent the night in line... ZEPPELIN is worth it. So I started playing guitar after that, and God has blessed me to feel see and groove the music, things you've never heard before..ability to improvise even if I don't know the song. But anyway...
I really want to learn BRON YR AUR.. most beautifully pleasant guitarchitecture ever.

[wrekkingcru]

I thank you...Gollum thanks you...and even the Evil One begrudgingly thanks you for this most excellent lesson. T'was in the darkest depths of YouTube, I met a song so fair...

[clivebrooks]

I 've just discovered this video 10 years later, there are a few Ramble on videos around, but this one includes all these small nuances that really make a difference to the sound. When I play back The album version, I can hear those nuances that I couldn't, or didn't notice, before . Thanks so much.

Absolutely the best guitar teacher on You Tube.  So detailed but easy to understand and follow.  You rock and I will certainly contribute to this amazing training!

[ernielanham]

I've just started breaking down Jimmy's playing, I know he LOVES to take a cool riff or just a chord and plays variations of it. He does it ALOT!!!! You get into learning a zeppelin song and there's WAY more to it than you think, definitely my guitar

[kens]

I keep coming back to your lessons because: your selection of songs is great; you don't teach the easiest version of the song but rather are true to the way the original musician played it (and you can hear the difference), and finally I like the way you just Shutup & Play! Many thanks!

[TheAjatazo]

These video lessons are special, because it's the detail and the time it takes to produce this quality that makes them better than anyone else. I've donated to this channel, if you're watching these and not donating, you should give immediately and stop taking something so good for free. Appreciate the difference in quality, and show it by giving, don't be a cheap, S.O.B

[jsimo]
