Friends, in these days of social media, the term ‘genius’ gets thrown around pretty loosely. However, few people deserve the honour more than the legendary John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin. I have actually come to Zeppelin quite late in life, being more of a Sabbath fan in general and not really too sure about ‘squeezing my lemons’, but with the wisdom born of old age I can now appreciate the monolithic greatness of the first four Zeppelin albums ![]()
Like Entwhistle, Jones provided an anchor for the band and the heart (and loins) of their biggest riffs, as well as some tasty melodic work. I am hoping some of this will run off on me over the next month ![]()
So to kick off, I present Communication breakdown - this is way simpler than most Zeppelin but the choruses took a bit of practice. I’m using the Jack Casady with the trusty Line6 POD. I’ve got the varitone on the bass turned to 250 which is kind of precisiony.
