This is my new cover of Achilles Last Stand's guitar solo, a song by Led Zeppelin, off the "Presence" album (1976).
I used a FREE BACKING TRACK that contains Drums and Bass, and I played all of the Guitar parts.
I think this is one of the best songs by Led Zeppelin, and its for sure the most complex song by this band.
I personally think that this song is way too underrated, its as epic as Stairway to Heaven, and it also features more work and creativity on all instruments.
Maybe this song had "bad luck" cuz it was realeased in an album where not all of the songs were as epic and amazing as Achilles.
On another circumstances, Achilles Last Stand could be considered as the best and most famous Led Zeppelin song.
Its guitar solo is very interesting, there are 2 parts where the tempo changes, and the solo re-takes the normal tempo again. This solo is FULL of feeling, and I did my best to cover that crucial detail.
I hope you like my cover, thanks for watching!

As usual, I used my Zoom G2.1u effects pedal, so these are the settings for the patch I made for this cover:

I never understood y this song is not that popular compared to stairway to heaven and others..it kicks the ass of stairway to heaven..Its the most complex song i have ever heard..at first when i started hearing this song i was like okay gud song but after multiple hearings i was stunned..its the best song of led zep. according to me and one of my most fav. songs ever..def. in top 10
But only one thing i don't like about this song is its length..its too short..it should have been 10 min. more!!
