Led Zeppelin's most original song: Kashmir [Guitar Lesson | Song Breakdown | Music Theory]

Welcome back to all my subscribers and if you’re new to my channel, my name is Carl Baldassarre. I am a composer, guitarist, and educator and I love to break down music for both musicians and listeners alike.

In this episode, I break down the most original song ever written by Led Zeppelin, Kashmir. The song marks the pinnacle of their careers as writers.  Like many successful bands, Led Zeppelin started out by emulating the music of their heroes and eventually becoming true composers. In the song Kashmir, they reached the highest plateau of originality: Invention.  

In this episode, I do a deep dive into the song including the modal and harmonic structures as well as breaking down ALL of Jimmy Page's guitar parts. I explain everything he is doing on the guitar in the context of the song. Led Zeppelin fans and guitar players should find something here that will increase your understanding and appreciation for this music.

As a composer, I've written many pieces of music, and one, in particular, is an homage to Kashmir entitled Sands of Tarifa.  I recorded it at London's Abbey Road Studios where the Beatles did all their great work in the 1960s.  You can find my song, Sands of Tarifa,  on my album titled Grand Boulevard by going to my website www.carlbaldassarremusic.com.
