Dazed and Confused by Jake Holmes

This is my interpretation of the original Dazed and Confused as written by Jake Holmes in 1967, found on the album "The Above Ground Sound of Jake Holmes" (track 6). I have also included, for your listening pleasure, Jake Holmes's track over the credits and some video animation recorded off of Windows Media Player (using a webcam... no, they are not in sync with the song).

This is the song that eventually evolved into what is best known as Led Zeppelin's longest live piece, Dazed and Confused (the longest being 45 minutes), with Jimmy page's bow solo.

This is it... enjoy.

Nice job man, one of my favorite songs. I have a question for you though, did you ever get around to tabbing this song? it would be greatly appreciated if you would.

[jimmyRRpage]

I haven't gotten around to it, yet. I do plan on trying, believe me, but my life is extraordinarily hectic these days. Eventually I will tab it out, in GP5, and I'll post it at various guitar tab sites (don't worry, I'll export it to various different formats- notepad, power tabs, etc- so everyone can get a copy... but I can't guarantee when...

[galsandlagher]

could you post me chords, or whatever you can, i really want to play this song

[jimmyRRpage]

I just listened to the song and figured it out myself. It actually isn't that hard, though it wasn't too easy, either. Once I have Guitar Pro 5 I'll tab it out and send it too you. The chords are simple, too. You basically play the E chord from the body all the way to neck, with a little improvising in the middle, and that's the whole song. Just watch my vid and you'll see...

You voice sounds like a cross between Brian Molko and Jack Black.

[jimmyRRpage]

Ha. That's actually cool. I guess I should say this, though. That is NOT my normal singing voice. I did that in an attempt to sound like Jake Holmes, and way over-did it. I do have other songs up. Check out my cover of Lucky Man or From the Beginning for a better representation of how I really sound.

[notchjohnson1]

wikipedia is a joke.

I really enjoyed this. I really don't understand the negativity I have seen. Voice is great. I have heard the original by Jake Homes and this is very close. In fact I was looking for the tab for Jake's version and google directed me your way. Good work pal and thanks.

wtf happened to all these comments that they all got negative votes? Thanks for doing this video.

Nice version. Jimmy Page made this song so much cooler but the original Holmes isn't bad. Nice acoustic version of the song is how I see it. Do you have a tab? I can't find it anywhere online.

[lugaroftherca]

dude, I would love a tab for this. Lead the wayy, bro

[snakem420]

Ok, ha i get what ya mean. I learned some of it by ear, but theres still some things i cant get.

[galsandlagher]

Yeah, i think i've figured it out watching you, its a cool song, fun to play. You've done a great cover man!
