John Bonham WHOLE LOTTA LOVE * DRUM LESSON * Studio Version * Led Zeppelin chords
Start Jamming...
Okay, this is a whole lot of love from Led Zeppelin 2
It's essentially just parts of it meaning that you know it kicks in the song kicks in
To over busy the bass drum parts in there, but I think the gist of it is is that it goes
So that's the rep
[G] Okay,
[F]
[G]
and that of course that's in the [N] main part of the song, but then you go
There's not a lot of crashes in those parts until the song goes on later, it's not like
Later and as he builds as they build in toward the middle of the song you get the
You
That is the point being is that once it builds up into the middle that's when he starts bringing on the crashes in the snare
And then of course you get into the
Which is cool, I think what I understand from the recording is is they actually
They inserted that middle.
You know the
Effects in the
Theremin and all that other stuff so essentially, but of course like the [F] metronome or the thing keeping it going was the hi-hat
Which [G] I understood I can't I don't remember where I heard this from
But I I do know that that I did read in a couple [N] spots
It was inserted, but I think that you know bottom said there.
There's a loop essentially was hi-hat just keeping time
They're not he sat there for four minutes to dinner did it and they took like eight seconds
It just laid it out in a machine just and suddenly had like a loop of it.
You know
Then they just kind of did everything to let's imagine that bottom does it for four minutes
To
[A#m] me totally you know I'm a huge feisty guy, and you can totally your b8la all over that recording
Technically this course would be 12.
It's a sound for me, but you know what I mean.
You don't they don't [F#] the zilgen
[A#]
Zilgen [F] bells
Zilgen bells don't sound like that.
They have a different sort of bellies
Sound to them anyway.
[N] That's a quick aside
Totally so anyways
Speaking
[F#]
[D#] [C]
I
[G]
really do think I'm doing my best to play it through there requires a lot of practice, but from what I do understand that that
That is just essentially the loop on the hi-hat going so [A#m] essentially in the studio that that was
Going on is that you [Am] just went?
[G]
[C#]
[B] [F#]
[D]
[E] So [G]
[N]
[C#] [N]
again if you really did you can sit and practice if you want
Okay, [Cm]
[G]
I don't like I said, I don't think he actually did that in real time
Can be done.
I mean you can price it and practice it, but [A#] again.
I really do
You know don't don't beat yourself up.
I'm not beating myself up over
I don't know if I spent maybe 19 years working on it get it, but anyway really though
Like when you see in the live version you know you just you know the live version [Bm] to me in the same instance a little
Lame, but it still does rock pretty good
There's certain parts of it like that
[G]
So and then
And of course in typical bottom of that era fashion, there's a [D] lot
[F#]
[A#] [B]
[N]
And there's cool, but there's a lot of effects on that song in fact you see me when I play it I go
[G]
Because there's a real like that song actually has sort of like a
16th note II feel to it now probably that could be ascribing maybe the
Delays they were using the echoes or the fairchild limit or whatever, but when I play it I just go
Minor variations you know but generally speaking when I listen to 90% of the time is
And that's essentially it that's the tune.
I mean it's not of course easy to play I mean clearly perfect.
That's it.
It's a great
