Introduction


Hi to you all On this lesson I chose to teach an original "Jimmy Page" like tune. It uses Jimmy's typical playing and chord progression. The key of this tune is D Major.


On the main chords move you can see that I've used Dsus2. It creates a familure zeppelin's atmosphere, especiely when the move exceeds the key and I hit the C note.


On this lesson I chose to bring the material in a different way. We're gonna start from the very beginning of writing a song (or an instrumental piece).


Layer 1



It Usually starts with the chords, than you add the bass. Afterwards comes the fun and creative part: filling your cake with layers. You must remember to serve the song and not yourself.


Layer one: chords.wmv ( 1.87MB )


Usually you take a simple bit as a metronome, it is also called guidline and it helps you stay "inside the frame"
After recording the chords you move on to the next layer.
I'm sorry that I didn't tab everything but you get all the chord shapes plus the additions (harmonies). You need to figure the way it goes by listening to it and trying to jam along with it.
