This is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. I absolutely love Zeppelin's acoustic songs and Jimmy Page's playing on their acoustic material was a huge influence on me as a guitarist.

This song is a bit tricky to play and sing at the same time, which surprised me because it's a relatively simple song in its structure. The challenge is the timing of that repetitive chord progression which is frequently off-sync with the vocal melody and doing the two together is rather like patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. It took some practicing and was exciting when I finally got it down. The other challenge was keeping that chord progression steady and chugging along while singing emotionally.

Love this song so much XXX
