Led Zeppelin - The Battle Of Evermore

That's one of my favourite Zep songs. Since in this music Robert & Sandy's duet is in the spotlight, i thought it was quite repetitive and decided not to play it whole.

About the Instrument: This instrument i'm using is a "Cavaquinho", it's pretty popular in Brazilian Samba music. I got one from my step dad, put two guitar strrings on it and tuned like a mandolin (except for the fourth string, i tuned it to A -at least tried to- so i could do that quick note to match with Sandy's first note and the acoustic guitar.

Of course it's a little weird, it's not the proper instrument, it's without the proper strings, and it has only 4 strings (while mandolin have 8), so it doesn't have that full, Chorus-like sound, but thought it was worth the try and maybe you could reply with your version in different instruments :D

That's it, i hope you all enjoy (if not the music, the great view behind. Some birds pass flying by, if you watch closely.)

Is that your house? Can I come live with you?

[MrLino]

@cstakolich Yes it is. Just fill the form and send it over to my e-mail, maybe we can work something out. Can you cook?

I realise why you shortened it, but it's great! Really well done young man! I love how you slowed the end to bring it to a close. I've been playing for 40 years, and give you two thumbs up! (I hope that's not presumptuous of myself). You nailed it!

@Evster2012 Thank you a lot, it's great to read such kind words from such an experienced player. I must say you have outstanding zep covers yourself! Hot Dog was really energic and the Rock'n Roll/ Celebration Day medley was out of this world. Everything was perfect and the gospel-ish vocals really added that special something.
