switch back and forth between C natural minor and F dorian (which is E Flat Maj but the positioning in Dorian may help you visualize the phrases easier.)

and you should be able to pick out all of his licks

 

I play mostly by ear. The only scale I really know is the minor pentatonic. :cry: I need to study. Is there a good reference site where I can look up these scales?

My favortie version of "Since I've Been Loving You" is from his performance on the MSG performance on the dvd set. He really rocks it out much more on that performance, especially on the intro. Does anyone know what's he's playing for that intro?

Yes, I love the MSG version much better. Also, the performance shown on the 2 disc box set, and the one from "The Song Remains the Same" are from different nights in the MSG concerts, I prefer "The Song.." through and through...especially for "Dazed and Confused" the 25 minute version :love:

If you already know the five inversion of the minor pentatonic system you are nearly there to be honest, if you are not completly sure of these; I urge you to get those nailed first.

 

Then you can learn the Major system and then Harmonic and Melodic if you want to.

 

I mean Jimmy Page used alot of different scales through Led Zep and also his solo material.

 

 

For Scales check this site : www.guitarknowledgenet.com

 

for theory and other stuff: www.thecipher.com

 

This is a good site to print out any scales etc:

that sounds about right

 

i know there's a lot of odd stuff going on with the backing music (atleast on the album version) of that song that really makes some of those notes stand out in a wierd way, and adds a great intensity

 

that's probably my favorite zep tune of all time :thu:

well when the song is in C Page is playing mostly in C natural minor,

when the change goes to F , don't play F natural minor, it will sound "off"

play F dorian,

same thing when the change goes to G , play G dorian.

Use those as your "base" scales over the chord changes and you'll see that's

what page is doing. Now he goes in and out with pentatonics shapes in each

change as well but if you know to stay way from the raised 5th (making it

natural minor) ove the F and G changes you won't hit any 'off" notes. :thu:

 

That's one of my favorite Zep tunes too.

This may help:

 

I - Eb maj ----------------Ionian

II - F min-----------------Dorian

III -G min-----------------Phrygian

IV - Ab maj---------------Lydian

V - Bb maj/Dom------------Mixolydian

VI - C min (natural min)---Aeolian

VII - Dm7b5 /half dim-----Locrian

 

So most of the song is in Cminor/Eb major key

 

it modulates to Dmin/Fmaj if you play G Dorian

 

I - F maj -----------------Ionian

II - G min-----------------Dorian

III -A min-----------------Phrygian

IV - Bb maj---------------Lydian

V - C maj/Dom------------Mixolydian

VI - D min (natural min)---Aeolian

VII - E m7b5 /half dim-----Locrian
