Today’s post is on a piece of seventies exotica called “Kashmir”. Here is the video:

”Kashmir” is a song much loved by Led Zeppelin fans and, indeed, by the members of Led Zeppelin themselves. The song is a mixture of Middle Eastern musical influences and the seventies fluffy pink drug culture. The group had never been to Kashmir when they wrote the song, and its inspiration came to the group’s singer, Robert Plant during a trip through the Sahara desert. An interesting side note is that the band actually brought in musicians from outside the group to play the orchestral parts.

Here is a link to the lyrics and tab for “Kashmir”.

The guitar is tuned to DADGAD which is a very handy guitar tuning to have at your fingertips, especially if you are into playing unaccompanied solos. Here is a video lesson on using this tuning to play “Kashmir”.

Here are some more lessons to follow up on the posts for beginners to learn guitar chords and on learning guitar chords easily.

I just watched three video lessons from Dan Denley’s “Ultimate Guide To Chords” which is coming July 31), and they’re full of good, meaty instruction. The course includes seven hours of DVD video, two audio CD’s with 43, full-band jam-tracks, and 2 CD-ROMs with 17 additional video tutorials.

He explains where chords come from and how they’re used in songs, the roman numeral system and scale degrees. Then he gives you two blues examples to put it all into practice.

You’ll need to opt-in with your name and email address to watch the videos. He wants you to do this so he can follow-up with you about his course. You can unsubscribe right after you watch the videos if you want, but I wouldn’t recommend it because he gives away a pile of lessons all the time.

So go grab your guitar and learn some new stuff. Step By Step Chord Videos
