_ Hey, what's up guys?
I'm back to _ do a lesson for when the [Am] levee breaks _ from Led Zeppelin 4.
_ _ _ Just wanted to show you _ _ a way to play it on the acoustic [Eb] guitar. _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ It's in the key of E and a lot _ of the _ _ _ _ _ main lick is based around the E and just bending.
What you're going to be doing is bending _ the 3rd fret of the low E _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ the way it goes
in the verse is you're just going to do it once, _ _ bend that _ _ 3rd fret, _ _ [E] _ _ _
lift off. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You're going to do that three times _ _ _ and _ _ _ the last time you're going _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ to _ [G] _ _
_ _ bend _ _ and release
twice on the 3rd fret of the low E _ _ _ _ _ and lift your 2nd finger off that A string, hit [A] that
open A string. _ _ _
_ Do the [G] bend at the 3rd of the low E once more.
_ [E] _ _ So it's, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ okay, that's how it goes _ through the main verses and then _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the _ _ second part of
the verse where he's getting to, _ _ oh _ [G]
well, oh well, oh well, you're going to [C] go _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] C to
a D and for this C you want to play, _ _ _ cover that low _ _ _ _ note at the [C] 3rd fret of the low E. _ _
_ _ So all 4 fingers, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] D _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and then you're going to go [A] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
A, _ G, A, E.
_ _ _ And the strumming for this _ _ _ is you're going to be strumming down for the A's and up for
[G] the G and the E.
[A] So, _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ alright, did you get [A] that?
So down for A, _ _ _ _ G, _ _ _ and for this G you really only have to _ have your, _ _ _ since you're strumming
up _ you're not playing the full G chord, you're just playing the bass notes.
_ [A] So, _ [G] A, G, _ _ [A] _ A, [E] _
E.
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Okay, _ and _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ let me see, there's another little breakdown at the end where _ you're going to
do something [E] like this. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ So you're going to _ start with E, _ _ _ _ _ hit that low _ E string _ _ _ [Am] and come up and play E in this
position, _ _ _ the D shape at the 4th [E] fret,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] back to that low [E] E string, _ _ play a B.
[B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And [N] for this B you want to bar your 1st finger across the 2nd fret _ from the A string down
and then with your 2nd ring _ and pinky you're going to be at the _ 4th fret _ _ of the D, G, and B [B] strings. _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] So, go to an [A] A. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ So when you're doing the A part, _ you're going _ _ _ to _ slide your barred 1st finger _ [B] _ _ [E] to the 4th
fret _ [B] _ and [A] _ _ [D] then D, _ _ [E]
E. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] Okay. _ _ _
So, _ [C] I think the trickiest part of this [N] song is just the _ _ _ strumming and _ _ _ _ the _ A, G, to A,
E part is _ a little bit tough.
You've got to get that _ rhythm [A] down.
_ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [E] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _
[G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And then the [G] main part.
[E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
But anyway, that's the way that I learned it _ [F] and just wanted to share it with you.
_ _ Alright, hope that _ _ helps you [B] out. _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Take care.
