Wearing and Tearing - Led Zeppelin. Awesome Riff of the Day & How to Play it! Guitar Lesson Tutorial 

Love it! Very underrated song in Zeppelin's discography, in my opinion.

Just to add some real perspective, when Zep went to record at ABBA's new Polar Studios in Stockholm, JPJ was the first one there by a day. He said he got to toy around w/ all the latest keys/synths and when the rest of the guys got there, he showed them a bunch of riffs he'd been working on and they jumped right in. It's not like Page was so far gone. His playing on the album is sublime....then add the Polar outtakes that were on Coda. To top it off, JPJ wasn't even at Page's home studio for mixdown. It was basically a 35% JPJ/Plant credited album because 1, JPJ was there first, and 2, because Plant and JPJ kept day hours while Bonham and Page worked at night. It's still a great Page record loaded w/ killer guitar.

no, i am absolutely NOT going to skip ahead...fascinating stuff brother...i had this figured for 70-74-ish...wow....and, definitely the best on coda...

Though everything you stated was indeed correct, there is a bit of additional information I have. When the recording session was complete, enough music had been recorded for a double album. Atlantic, owners of Swan Song, did not believe the market would bear the burden of a double album. As such, it was decided that during the supporting tour of In Through The Outdoor, an EP would be released of material not included on the full album. This EP never materialized due to John Bonhams death. Page would release most of the intended EP tracks on Coda and all material included on Coda fron these sessions would demonstrate Jimmy's presence and establish that if Led Zeppelin had survived they were prepared to survive the eighties. Greatness is always greatness.

I'm new to guitar playing. Love this song! Thanks for the history and guitar lessons! 😃😃👍

The third riff is just so addictive to play!

Thanks man I've only been playing for about a year, I knocked the Fastway "say what you will" out pretty quick and now I'm off to this one...THANKS!!!

Great song, great lesson. You tube video of Jimmy playing this song with Robert Live at Knebworth (1990) is a must watch

Always enjoy the preamble and history of the songs you do

Good background about the song and helpful lesson.

Your awesome

Sweet

Wow no one ever teaches this! Great lesson!

That was really nice

Great job! Thanks 😊

🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 Always cool.

In my opinion John paul jones is an underared songwriter and musician at least compared to the other members in the band

👏👏👍👍

I like your tone here more than the album. I think it is naturally played about. 5-10% slower than the studio. The "live" version here on RU-vid is obviously sped up to match the album tempo they've paired it to. Plant's hair is flowing spastically, and the stage crew's heads are bopping too fast.

Why in the hell didnt they include this great song on "in through the outdoor". Easily there poorest album with all the damn syth, the album certainly had its moments but overall a poor album.
