Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You by Led Zeppelin | acoustic
An acoustic guitar lesson on how to play “Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" by Led Zeppelin.
This is such an epic song. For what appears to be a fairly simple tune, once you get into it there's a lot more going on than you might think. The main lick or riff is played 27 times, but there are as many as 11 separate variations on it, so lots of details involved if you want to get it right.
I had a lot of fun making this video. It's always surprising to me how much the band varies the tempo in these songs. It's one of the things I love about Zep. These days everything is played to a click track, and for some things that's good, but keeping time more flexible allows for way more feel, and these guys were great at doing that.
I hope you find the lesson useful and I hope you have fun playing this great song.
