[collin863]

Led Zep music is so strong and compelling, head banging isn't even needed, and this guy knows that:)

[1967DodgeVan]

MARK FARNER!!!!!!!!!!hahaha.i luv zepp and grand funk

[lemm93]

[Mr8bitgamer]

Its amazing!

[joelliotjake1]

godbless yo bruv

[r666y]

You are very good, that songs rocks!!!

[ldballoon4]

rock on dude, when I was 19, i was learning all the Zep songs front to back on guitar.

[wooferpoofer]

I clicked on this video because at a glance you looked like a hot chick.

Nice playing though, I wasn't completely disappointed.

[IceReverie]

Dude, you have the hair of a Norse god!!!! Rock on, brother!!!! \m/

[CJbass420]

this musta taken awhile to learn, its insane!

[tetavo]

hahaha, i have that EXACT same bass :) i don't really like the pickguard though. i'm thinking of buying a white one for it.

[HannahVampire]

hahahahha man wow!! lol it sounds like robert plant is singing in the closet !!

[wmjoca]

You are awesome

[100backbeats]

zdunas23, bass players doesnt show any emotion at all, here's some emotion, GO FUCK YOUR SELF !! LOL

[JByer777]

I just started playing bass. I've been playing guitar for 6 years, i currently play a fender american standard strat. I just picked up bass playing a Fender standard Jazz, cuz its cheaper than american standard. Is this still a fair bass?

[shantypiker41367]

If you want that classic tone, try a Fender American Standard Jazz Bass. The heavier body wood gives it better balance...it's not as neck heavy as the mexican basses.

[confess5]

i trying to learn this song on my crappy squier p-bass. It just ain't happening for me though. I'm playing it way too thumpy.

[LedZeppelinCovers]

Thats a Standard american Jazz bass, I have the same bass too, Learning this song and damn your so good!

[zdunas23]

bass players doesnt show any emotions at all

[beerandpluggers]

you need to watch flea or cliff or claypool or wooten or flea

[1dgkonig]

i have the same bass.

u put yours to better use then me.

[LinkBulletBill]

looks like you really don't turn on the volume high, I like it high, but my family gets pissed, each time, they slam my door open, and scream! LOL!

[LedZeppelinCovers]

When that happens I just keep playing :)

[LinkBulletBill]

Or higher the volume... LOL! Nah, me too, I just keep playing... Well, mostly I just turn my guitar into a clean sound, higher bass, lower tremble and play jazz, that please my family... But sometimes, we have to rock out!

[LedZeppelinCovers]

Yeaah! My family doesnt mind when I rock out but if Im too loud they dont like it LOL. And we always have to rock out!

[stedtfckj]

I love this bass line ! Great job, thanks for posting

[tman7373]

great job

[JimmyPageIsALegend]

NICE

[CheerUpOrDie]

Rock 'n' Roll, Great BassPlaying.

[MST3Kfanatic]

fantastic! and a bass line that entrances to this day (but let's not forget the orginal song "killing floor") LUV Zep & the Blues

[camelspottergr]

a little emotion would be nice!!

good job either than that!

[saxyjazzman91]

emotion isn't that necessary, look at john entwistle, he's one of the best and he shows no emotion when he plays

[RedGuitars94]

one of My fav song! awesome ! and nice hair

[cowbellallen]

Doesn't sound anything like the original, but you made it your own and problably figured it out by ear, so not bad.

[vingjames]

oh snap!!!

[psychedelicinvasion]

Wow!! Awesome job, man! The bass in "The Lemon Song" is probably the coolest thing about the song; I love it. By the way- great hair!

[Polishpimp69]

omg amazing job dude.

i thing that bass is the most important past in that song :)

[floydfan12345]

nice hair and good playing man

[mistermusicmeister]

if thats a squier original from the 70s, it'll easily get £400 (around $800)

[queenforever]

Great job!

[platter4]

thats a squire right? i was gonna get that but then i saw a fender jass bass for 30 bucks more and got that

[PolsDrummer]

Good deal, that. Nice job on the bass

[JacobWeinberg]

OMG! this song is making my apartment vibrate!

[HelterSkelter67]

I used to have long hair exaclty like that, exactly that lenght.

this makes me miss it.

[lippalassi]

Man I can tell you somethin': That's groovy

[QuentinT96]

dude wicked playing wish i could do that

[samuelshepard]

nice fuckin job man

[agustin91dc]

great job

i don`t know how it is on the bass, but in the guitar is imposible

[florsails]

[Chairbedcouch]

i love it nice

[FoleyonBass]

wow man that was really good

[alstagg04]

nice man, sounds good

[USPoliticiansSuck]

Really nice job.

[dinucciii]

cant realy hear it

[XMichaelSpektorX]

yer not supposed to!

[dinucciii]

fuck you

[dinucciii]

micheal what do u mean by that? ur not suppose to

[currentlynameless]

He means its hard for mics like a digital camera mic to pick up the frequency.

That was amazing jack!

[ptg9]

wow not bad dude, post up sum more zeppelin songs, id love to hear em

[jackeminor]

Hey thanks. Sorry but with work and band practice, so little time!

[ronfromdanetherlands]

hey did you got this tab from a website or yourself?

[vakmere]

I used to head bang but my chiropractic said not to anymore. After turning 54 I thought it a good idea to.

[guitarman069]

nice playing..now time to practice your headbanging

[jackeminor]

Thanks. No headbanging for me. Not my style.

[tortillachip520]

awesome bass version of the song, it's helping me learn it right now, but it's a bit quiet so i have to turn my volume up kinda loud so whenever the mic crackles it scares the livin sh*t outta me!

[deepstringwizard]

wow you made that look really easy

[jackeminor]

Thanks. Learning it wasn't.

[prasiddha]

Excellent! Fav Zep bass tune.

I have played guitar for several years, but have over the years, gotten an addiction for the sound of bass guitar.

I can play pretty fast and clean on guitar...will that speed transfer easily onto bass?

Any recommendations for a "beginner" bassist in terms of equipment and amps? I've been eyeing a Musicman Stingray...(it's super expensive though).

Thanks

[jackeminor]

Thank you for the kind words. You've already got a great bass. The Ampeg practice amp with the 15 inch speaker is great for rehearsals. SWR has a similar one that's good too. Keep practicing and listen to the great classic rock bass players.

[prasiddha]

Thanks...but you must have mistaken the videos you see on my profile as my own.

They are not.

Those are videos I favorited of other people playing.

[jackeminor]

I just thought you said you had a Stingray.

[bcw3360]

Did that red pickguard come standard or did you add it on later?

[jackeminor]

That's funny you should ask, but the bass actually came with a white one which looked like shit compared to the classic red tortoise shell, so I bought one and slapped it on there the same day I bought the bass. Good eye!

[CarpenterDeftones]

Sounds good man!! That bass is sexy by the way.

[jackeminor]

Thanks.

[bassplayer4445]

Great job man!

[bobbycas420]

thats pretty damn good that song has the best bassline.

[joevowles93]

i cud of mistakin yu for a girl get a haircut nice

guitar playing tho .

[jackeminor]

Yeah and I could have mistaken you for a 14 year old snot nosed brat who doesn't know how to keep his stupid ass comments to himself. Oh wait, the "93" part of your ID informs me that I'm not mistaken at all.

[Bwade87]

wow someone just got owned

[beagleman123456789]

good try

[testaferro]

Very nice dude! Love it, great bass lines. You did a great cover.

Now try some Entwistle ;)

[jackeminor]

Thanks!

[wvm64]

Go dude - if you're gonna cop a bass part, this is one of the best bass parts of all time

[rockdfunk]

tunr it up bro, not loud enough!

[dannyzerozerozero]

Amazing! 5 out of 5 mate!

[jackeminor]

Damn, thanks partner!

[irishbadass69]

rock n roll mate

[ronfromdanetherlands]

lol i play the bass myself n i just did Ramble on and HEartbreaker, the way you gotta play is so much better then the modern bands. Led really played the ultimate out of every guitar, 5/5

[jackeminor]

Thanks man. I'll check out your vids.

[vintagejazzbass]

is that bass actually vintage?

[jackeminor]

No, it's an 03 Jazz with a tortoise shell pickgaurd I put on it. I still need to drill the body in a couple places for the screws. I wish it was a '61 like JPJ's.

[ledpooperlin]

I have a signed copy of Led Zeppelins Early Days and Latter Days...Taken into John Paul himself by Hugh Manson and singed...Great song mate..You play well..Little bit crackly though 4/5 xD

[tylerdurden1991]

cut you hair ya homo

[jackeminor]

Let me guess, you're in your 40's and bald, right? Don't most gay guys have super short hair?

[dcv283]

Hey jackeminor,dont ever cut your hair.You look really hot.I love long hair on a man.If I was only 20 years younger....

[themi90]

wow your fuckin excellent

keep on playin

[ledzhead]

wow this is fucking not only did it help me learn the song it made happy to be a bass player

[jackeminor]

Thanks partner. Post your video!

[Selena9764]

wow!! this is very good!!! whys it only 3 stars?!

[jackeminor]

Thanks, Selena. I guess not all the folks on here agree.

[Selena9764]

yea! i saw! man they're rude, they dont know talent when they see it, probably only saying it cause everyone criticizes ppl who cover zep aongs and big bands like that, way too much. cuz they think no one compares but w.e. jpj didnt always do the easiest bass lines, and i think u did a tremendous job! if you have more stuff ill check out ur page later!!

[Robinhousefire]

thats insane

[richagen]

the video looks great...try using the line in

or mic in on the sound card, from the line out

of the base amp? if you have a line out?

[richagen]

nice playing.. the sound could not get much worse tho.

[jackeminor]

Thanks. Buy me a nicer camera.

[caramelchee]

it was...ok, pretty good

[timtipton5071256]

I figured that WHO / John Entwhistle bass run in that song would catch your interest. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jack... Post more Vids man.. I love yer Playin

[jackeminor]

I will as soon as I get done painting the outside of my house. What a job! I 'll be glad when thats all over with. Thanks, Tim.

[timtipton5071256]

I never drank any Shiner beer, but I've received several shiners due to excessive beer consumption. I'd like to hear you cover "Can you see the real me" by the WHO...You'd probably tear it up. Keep rockin

[jackeminor]

I can play part of it. What a killer bass track. I turn 21 on Saturday night!

[timtipton5071256]

I turned up the bass and it rattled my beer off my desk....loved yer bass playin,keep it up.

[jackeminor]

Thanks. I'm about to crack open a Shiner here in a second. Great Texas beer. Any of ya'll had it?

[nizzrooster]

i think you're full of shit. i dont think you learned that song by ear.

[jackeminor]

Well you're wrong, dingleberry!

[mferrusca]

try to mix a bit of the original audio into your video. very good!

[jackeminor]

I didn't really want my bass playing on this to get confused with JPJ's on the studio cut, so I didn't have the volume up to loud when I was playing along. Thanks!

[mystiktrix87]

pretty good dude a little off on the tuning but still good

[lastsstands04]

really cool....i was waiting for something like this, great job, keep playing

[philruddrocks]

where did you get that tab?

[jackeminor]

Read the description. I learned it by ear.

[dragonchild25]

nice! im only 15 and have been playing since i was 8 and you have got me beat! nice cover i like it!

[MikeInTheValley]

I like the improv playing at about 3 minutes in-just go for it and keep the groove rocking with the pull-offs etc. On stage those big bass sound waves just turn to mud and you will hear people say. "Well, it LOOKS like he can play"-which simply means your EQ is muddy bass. And don't listen to your band mates. What sounds like rich bass tones on stage to their ears, will sound like mud-30 feet off into the audience.

[deathdrago]

dude, you sound amazing how long have you been playing bass? im 14 and ive been playing bass for 2 years and i still dont think i will ever get that song. how long have u been playing

[jackeminor]

I'm 20 and started about at about your age so you got two years on me at that age. You'll get it. Just practice the hell out of it.

[deathdrago]

thanks a lot man... i am keeping up the practicing

[pantalonesconqueso]

the best Zeppelin song on bass ever.

[jackeminor]

You said it!

[mulcilloj]

fantastic, nice work. do u think u cud send me the sheet music or tabs for it? i want to play it for my music exam, and the tabs on the net arnt very accurate. cheers rishta _ kumar @ hotmail . com

[jackeminor]

Thanks buddy! Unfortunately, I don't read music and learned this by ear. Take care.

[Nikolai46]

You're not even watching your fretboard..

Wish I could play the song.

Respect

[varsity55]

this is hard to play for me but you made it look easy, great job

[jackeminor]

Thanks varsity and weekend warrior. Comments like yours are so nice to hear. This took a long time and a lot of practice.

[WeekendWarrior1210]

You have a talent, you really do. Keep up the good work and the vids man.

[darkshadyfigure]

You did a very nice job. Little different from how i play it, but just as good, if not better. damn you kick ass at ear tabbing and playing

[jackeminor]

That's a very nice comment. Thank you.

[robass5]

anyone who even trys this song deserves credit , im too scared to do it

[BonzoRobJimmyJohn]

being a bassist myself damn the lemon song is a very very hard bass line to nail, good job

[jackeminor]

Thanks and cool name too.

[wot2wot2]

listen , i was only trying to be nice about your hair. im bald and a bit jealous, but it will increase your chance of getting a job.xx

[jackeminor]

Anyway, the hair got cut off about 2 and a half months ago. See my more recent vids.

[musicfreak123]

You're spectacular! You're my hero! You did a wonderful job. The faster parts maybe me want to dance. You/you're so kick/ badass.

[jackeminor]

Wow! Thanks man. That means a lot.

[musicfreak123]

Not a problem you really deserve such comments you have a great talent for la bass. And guitar I saw another video with you play. I was jealouse. LOL.

[blvdofbrkndrims12]

u rock dude how long u been playing

[jackeminor]

Thanks. Playing since I was about 13 and I'm 20 now.

[KaiBailey]

It was great, dude. The element of relaxation is wonderful. It'd good you don't play so uptight.

[wot2wot2]

stop saying dude.

[jackeminor]

I won't lower myself to name calling like you have, but it appears the only one around here saying "dude" is you, guy. Why don't you practice not making yourself look stupid. And of course, you are one of those commenters who naturally has no videos posted. I play plenty of Rush!

[TheAmericanPoet]

Very nice not the best sound quality but tight playing keep it up

[stashJ8]

its always badass when us bass players play cool parts without having to look

[DieselHopper]

Hey man you did a great job, I wish I knew you so we could jam led zeppelin together.

[jackeminor]

Hey guys. Thanks for all the kind words.

[LeTwm]

Dude it's a mini JPJ! Nice one & nice bass by the way!

[audioian]

it's great man! i'm listening with headphone it's clearer. maybe next time you can reduce the bass a bit when you record? perhaps lowering the volume a bit as well. if its hard to hear then put the camera closer to the amp? you know low frequencies expand more in longer distance so recording too far away and turn up volume would crack up the quality

[jackeminor]

I will take that into consideration and think about redoing this as well. Thanks for the compliment.

[spocktacular]

i should have quit you! LOng time ago!!!!!!

[segould]

You do a good job I just wish you had better sound quality.

[jackeminor]

I appreciate that. I wish I could do better. The camera is just a digital camera that takes video footage. The low register of the bass causes the distortion with the camera's mic. Thanks again for the kind words.

[YoghurtPeople]

Hey man good effort. The let down was the quality. Great considering you tabbed it yourseld :D 5/5

[jackeminor]

Well that's really nice. Thank you.
