In one of my old Guitar World magazines featuring Led Zeppelin Jimmy said It was his Fender 12 string tuned to an open G. He also said they slowed down the tape machine to make the track sound more intense. Excellent work JJ.

They recorded it faster, along with the drums and keys, and slowed it down to get a sludgier tone. The harmonica was recorded backwards, had delay added, and reversed to add delay preceding the actual notes, giving the spooky vibe.

So, we were in London last week for Spring Break. I kept trying to walk by Jimmy Page's house in Kensington, but didn't get the chance. Wifey didn't understand - it was so I could report to JJ that I walked by Page's house! Not that I expected to get close or that he would invite me in to play Zep songs with him (which I learned from JJ). We are working from home and quarantining ourselves (school is canceled this week, too), so I have some guitar playing in my immediate future. I'll finish building the guitar armoire in my shop and have about five guitars to build. Thanks for all the videos - I'll need them. Cabin fever should hit in about six or seven minutes. Cheers!
