  • Love it :)

  • I love the fullness of sound, as if there were two guitars, yet you wear both hats simultaneously. Beautiful!

  • Thanks!

  • Awesome dude.

  • I didn't know Zakk Wylde was a Zepelin fan?

  • good one :)

  • Very nice, It's pretty hard to screw up this song because its so simple and yet elegant. I'm glad you covered it.

  • Kicked some major ass!!!!! i'm in awww!!!!

  • Best cover on youtube. I just wrote a poem inspired by this song.

  • PHIL IS THE BEST MAN!!! HE COVERED MY FAVORITE LED ZEP SONG AWESOME!

  • your guitar is so clean I can see my reflection xD Loving your version.

  • Great cover!!! Love the username, lol

  • Wow wow wow!

  • what a nice sounding guitar you rock man !

  • man play more feeling, starved playing

  • Dude,

    All I can say is: MAGNIFICENT! That is one of the prettiest songs ever, and you do it just fantastic. So, so beautiful. Thank you for such a wonderful gift.

    Take care Brother.

  • Good Thanks!!!

  • you're the shit, subscribed!

  • philmycrakken..lol...use to call my office and ask for that guy..lol....very awesome...thank you phil....love your work

  • that taylor sounds gorgeous what modle is it, and bitchin playing btw man

  • Awesome!

  • I think you nailed it!! very nice.

  • After seeing and hearing this I have decided to quit trying to play guitar. This is truly a masterpiece.

  • Cool.. check my version out on my page

  • Should've let the first two notes just ring and pick single notes, instead of "chording" them slightly like you did, this made the song look cold and without feeling. But you defnitely nailed it anyway.

  • meow

  • loved it like all your stuff!!  I actually played this at my church for Nature Sunday! lol Even the senior citizens liked this song!

  • did you change something in the part you are playing around 5:30? i watched the bobby crispy video about how to play this song and your version seems different. i understand you both can have legitimate versions, anyway i like this part of your version so can you tell me where you got this? is this from a tab, from listening--if listening, can you tell me which album specifically? thx, sorry to bother you.

  • If I had or knew Jimmy Page's email address, or knew his YouTube account, I would forward this to him. I know of two people on YouTube that I think Jimmy would enjoy hearing. jun626 does note-for-note tone-for-tone reproductions of Jimmy's electric stuff and Philmacrakken (here) does wonderful interpretations (<- check out no quarter).

    If I ever win the lottery, I'll try to get the three of us over to England for a weekend visit with Jimmy - my treat.

  • WOW! This Is Outstanding, Great Job

  • Had to come listen to this again. Thank you so much Phil !!!! Just beautiful !

  • awesome!

    

  • that was top notch

    

  • thank you

  • Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

  • thanks

  • heady....

  • Beautifully done Phil!

  • thamks

  • is that standard tuning?

    

  • no D G C G C D

  • @Philmacrakken Gah, it's like you need multiple guitars for Zeppelin. Or a quick tuning hand.

  • trying to pick it up, not as easy as you make it look

  • This is incredible dude!

  • thank you

  • Nice work man!!!!

  • thanks

  • Wow! Sorry it took so long to hear this. One of my most favorite acoustic LZ songs ever besides STH. Hey, where's my all time request, UFO Try Me?? LOL! Thanks!

  • aww man, absolutely amazing. I love Led Zeppelin, and your cover is awesome, to be honest Robert Plants voice gets to me sometimes.. but Zeppelin's instrumentals are something of their own kind. Jimmy Paige <3 is hard to match to perfectly. Amazing. Love it. Keep up the good work :)

  • thanks

  • Philly, couldn't help enjoying this one again!!!! Awesome

  • beautifully done! I've probably watched/listened to this video more than any other video on youtube, or anywhere for that matter... I shouldn't say it here but I'm tempted to put the audio from this on a cd to listen to it while I drive ... but only if it's ok with you

  • thanks...go right ahead...it's cool with me.

  • if word gets out about the number of times I (and I'm sure many others out there) have returned to listen to your playing on this video, someone from the recording industry will be demanding royalties...as far as stars, this one gets it's own galaxy

  • Still blown away by this dude!

  • thanks

  • kick ass song!!!!

  • nice to see some zep- thanks

  • You're welcome

  • very nice cover :)

  • Awesome!!

    thank you very much for sharing this. :)

  • It does it for me

    well done

  • Like most of the comments on here say, I think only Jimmy Page himself could have done this better! Thanks alot Brother!

  • you're welcome

  • From your number one fan! I love it! Where's my UFO, Try Me. Keep On, going on! Thanks, buddy!

  • This is probably as good as I think it is. I never watch: I just listen. There are some missed chords, but no big deal. Most of this is spot on splendid.

    The hate mail will come in when I say this is not a 5. But...it is a solid 4 something.

  • This is a solid 6 stars....5 just ain't enough.Let's see someone do better.The only one who could do it better would be Jimmy himself.Phil reproduces these songs better than anyone I have ever seen.How dare anyone give him less than 5 stars.

  • Phil, you are simply stonishing!!!.

    Thank you boy!!!

  • One take. Zero overdubs. The amazing Philmacrakken, ladies and gentlemen... (wild applause)

  • Thanks man

  • This is so amazing Phil! I agree! One of the best you've posted so far!

  • Thanks and thank you...I looked at your channel and got a big thrill out if that Page vid you have fav'ed. Not a huge Edge or Jack White fan....but I got a ton of respect for them when I saw the awe and reverence they showed when Page started playing Whole Lotta Love...

  • Comment removed

  • Stunning!

  • This is one of the best song's you've played Phil.  Man I love this tune, Thanx for posting this one.......

  • You're welcome

  • Wow, excellent Phil. That was fantastic. Love the sound of your guitar to. Kind of thought I was listening to Jimmy Page there. Excellent job!

  • Thanks

  • Excellent Phil! You know I never could understand how Page could play stuff like this and then get so sloppy on his lead work. I wonder if it was the partying and moving around on stage that contributed to it?

  • Thanks Rick

  • I wondered about that for years. After a long e-conversation awhile back with a good guitarist who had a big hit in the 80s (& who shall remain nameless), we came to the conclusion that, in Zep at least, his sometimes-sloppy lead playing was probably intentional. As not only Zep's guitarist but also their producer, he might've thought certain songs just sounded better that way -- frenetic & almost off the rails (e.g., the solo in "Heartbreaker").

    Later, like in The Firm, he was just wasted.

  • His wasted playing sounds better than MOST guitarists sober playing on their best day.

  • Comment removed

  • @Ken5244 no doubt any "sloppiness" in the sound...a number of JP's solos were deliberate..a number of the solos on the studio recordings were improvised takes including Heartbreaker...Jimmy Page: The solo itself was made up on the spot" (from a Guitar World" article "50 Greatest Guitar Solos")

  • more than humble, this is fantastic!! the b&w adds to the quality. well done Philly

  • Thanks Mike
