Learn how to play Dancing Days on guitar as performed by Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin's 5th studio album Houses of the Holy from 1973. In the lesson I'll cover the tuning involved, the rhythm and lead guitar parts, and where he's using his slide. This is a great example of Jimmy layering many guitar tracks to build a huge guitar arrangement. I'll break the most important pieces down separately, show you how to play them, and give ideas for how to combine some of them when you are playing this song live.

thanks to bonhamology who has a great solo drum cover of this song that I used as backing for my demo at the front of the video. Check him out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QsfJiRhp3o

Got a suggestion for a piece of a song to cover on an upcoming episode? Leave it in the comments, would love to hear ideas.
