  • Wrong bass line all together; John played with soul & feeling not a pencil & sheet music... It was called Rock - N - Roll!!

  • @Theedwarfdrummer

    You're right. The notation is just a tool, but a useful one. The feeling comes from listening and playing.

  • I think everyone was confused with what I was trying to say, I was trying to say that Bonham knew how to groove naturally and there wasn't studying it. I believe, in my opinion this is all just my opinion BTW, that the best way to play is by ear or naturally rather than read sheet music ect thats all I was trying to say.

  • @Drummer122

    Gotta disagree. The best way to play is to play well and go for it, whether you are reading sheet music or playing plastic buckets on a street corner. Bonham didn't groove naturally--I'm sure he played every second he could from the day he started drumming.
