Today we’re breaking down “Good Times Bad Times” by Led Zeppelin—a total classic & the opening track from their very first album. It's a great example of Jimmy Page’s rhythm genius.
I'll show you:
⦿ The iconic intro riff and power chord shapes
⦿ The chord progression for each section (perfect if you're in a cover band!)
⦿ The changes for the solo section and how to jam over it
And remember—Zeppelin tracks like this are often multi-tracked, so we’ll keep it tight and gig-friendly if you’re just one guitar player holding it down!
