SRV-Zeppelin Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I jumped on the bandwagon and learned Stairway... followed (eventually) by Immigrant Song, Black Dog, Houses of the Holy, Good Times Bad Times, Kashmir, Trampled Underfoot... um... Rock n Roll... I think that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sycephant Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Dancing Days. I stole my Dad's Houses of the Holy Vinyl and that was the one that stuck out to me.....made me start messing around with a slide too! Must have been the naked chicks on the cover that said..."DON'T TOUCH" so I did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Kashmir and then probably Stairway  Ok, so here's a story for you. We're playing this big art festival a few years ago, and as I was coming down the stage steps after our set, the producer of the two music stages is waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs, and says "Are you going over to the other stage to see Ben Lacy?". I said "who is Ben Lacy?". When the guy that hires you says you ought to go over to the other stage to hear an artist, the best thing to do is just follow him over there.  So my wife and I spent the next hour standing in the wings listening to this guy and scratching our heads. In fact, after a few songs we went out and sat in the audience because I wanted a full frontal view on what the hell he was doing. We have gone out and seen him since, and his show is incredible. When ever I hear talk about Zep, this is what I think of. Here's his take on Kashmir.   Just look at the expressions on the faces of the rest of the players on that stage, priceless. He seems to play a lot of colleges and art festival type stuff. If you ever have a chance to see him, DO IT!  Oh, I forgot to add, he's one of the nicest and funniest guys you'll ever meet.

Homz Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 "Thank You" and "Over the Hills and Far Away" Â Currently our band does over a dozen Zeps. To bad you can't post a mp3 here. I'd post em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homz Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I highly recommend a Zep tribute band called Lez Zeppelin. I've seen em twice. All chicks they totally rock! http://lezzeppelin.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Paul Fanatic Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 First one I learned was Dazed and Confused, but since I haven't played it in over four years so yeah I'm pretty rusty on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djroge1 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 That Ben Lacy video is pretty dog gone cool. It reminded me of Stanley Jordan. I think in the Lacy video one of the players sitting on stage is Murial Anderson who is an excellent picker too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagabond Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I think the first song I learned was actually Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, but I'd been playing riffs from other songs before that. My favorites are still Black Dog and Over the Hills and Far Away, and I think the intro section of Over the Hills was one of the first things I ever learned to play. I learned Over the Hills and Tangerine around the same time, but Babe I'm Gonna Leave You was definitely the first whole song I learned to play.

fingers galore Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Stairway (of course), also Ten Years Gone. One of my favs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Martin Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Stairway; Immigrant Song; Good Times, Bad Times (my favorite, but the lead still kicks my ***); Heartbreaker; Black Dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuaLeaD Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 "Black Dog" on my Les Paul and then parts of "Stairway to Heaven" on my Takamine 12-string acoustic. Â I'm hoping to learn: "Bring It On Home" "Living Loving Maid/Heartbreaker" "D'Yer Mak'er" "Going to California" "Black Mountainside [Extended Instrumental]" "How Many More Times" Â ...sometime in the near future. Â I think their deep cuts are the best to be honest. My friend was kind enough to lend me his 10-disc studio BOX SET. If you haven't listened to it yet, GET IT. It's the one with the steel structure of the zeppelin pictured around the whole outside. These remasters are sonically FAR SUPERIOR to any mixing I have heard of the band. It was great discovering them, album after album, all the way through, the way it was *meant* to be heard. Â At 23, I've pretty much given up on my generation's music, but the tide has been turning for the last 5 years or so. The melodic stuff is still being kept alive in Europe and Japan and kids are starting to pick up on it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGBENDS Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Thanks for the replies everybody. Keep 'em coming. Firstly I have to thank L5Larry for the video link to Ben Lacy. That was absolutely mesmerizing. He's great! That's enough to make Page scratch his head. I had a feeling that a lot of us would have learned a variety of different Zeppelin songs. I'm glad it brought up some good memories for some of us older players. For you younger players just learning Zeppelin on the guitar or bass, keep learning it. It opened up a whole world of possibilities on guitar and bass for me and I think it will get your creative juices flowing. Â PS: R9, You know. Fred Zeppelin. I have all his albums. By the way, which one's Pink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stymye Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I remember learning 'Thank you' and the main riff to 'Heartbreaker' on my sears acoustic when the album came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
