In this episode, I dig
In this episode, I dig deep into the track “Thank You” by Led Zeppelin from their 2nd Album released Nov. 1969. I start this program with a note for note performance of the beautiful acoustic guitar solo by Jimmy Page. That was so much fun to learn to play. It’s so lyrical and sits in high relief to the live versions which are also so beautiful but on the Les Paul.
Disclosure: That is me playing the acoustic guitar solo live against a YouTube backing track. I’m taking a direct line from my Martin HD28 pickup straight into my computer.
True, this track is a “love sonnet” but it contains FAR more nuance than I (and probably even the band) realized upon first hearing. I ultimately started to dig very deep to answer the question: “How does the music support the dichotomous and pondering lyric?” I really dig deep into so many facets here: Harmonic analysis, Melodic analysis (Leitmotif), Lyrical & Dramatic analysis, Orchestration & Arrangement. I could have spoken for 2 hours to have done this track justice philosophically.
I also briefly touch on the differences between Led Zeppelin Live vs. Studio. Thank You is one of those Zeppelin tracks that undergo a major metamorphosis in a live setting (others include Ramble on, Bring it on Home, Whole Lotta Love, and the grandest of all…Dazed & Confused). The Led Zeppelin story can’t be told without addressing the differences between their live and studio performances (which I will cover in more detail at a later date).
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.
