Theres no doubt its tricky but it can be done.
Whats my time frame?

I did not know there was a toggle switch trick in there! Lol. Which solo, the first or second?

Yeah...at around 3:15 in the first solo. You gotta have the ability to turn down one of your pickups all the way. I had an LP copy when I learned it. I had the neck pickup at full volume and the bridge PU volume all the way down. Then as you do the compound bend, flick the toggle switch back and forth between the two in rhythm.

Take your time, Needle, take a month? Lol. I do not mind man, I have to get an amplifier first, lol.


Scarlet, wow. I got to listen for that... And what do you mean "compound" bend? How does that differ from a regular bend?

Thats cool i want to be able to do it here at the house so im going to figure out a way to do it in the raw form like the zeplin recordings.

That's cool man... Hey, by the way dude... Who is that guy you are standing next to in the photo... He looks like that guy from "Cheers" that television show where they are always in the bar (I know crap about it, lol).

Example

e-----------------------------
B--------17------------------
G--------16(bend full)------
D----------------------------
A----------------------------
E----------------------------

slowly release the "16" while switching the toggle in rhythm

BTW, this is a "unison bend"

e---------12-----------------
B---------15(bend full)-----

Jimmy Page used these at the end of "Stairway" and Mike McCready used them at the end of "Alive" (Pearl Jam)

I see... Unison bends are my favorite man, I use them a lot in my solos. So a compound bend is basically a unison bend with a release back to the original pitch?

Yea that really is Norm! He was at a casino in Miama OK. New Years eve

He was a down to earth guy.

I knew it was him! Lol. That is cool, man. It is nice to hear that these stars are down to Earth, some of them at least.

I got to thinkin if i can't do these drum track's maby i can get minnie me to due them he's got way more spunk than I. LOL

LMAO!!! Yeah, that would be something, lol.

I will give you something easy if you fail those. We can try and do, "Sweet Home Alabama," that is more up your alley since you like Southern Rock, or I could endure something country, lol.

No that ok if we do not challange ourselfs then how do exceed as a musician..

NO SWEET HOME AAAAARRRRR
