An electric guitar lesson on how to play the rhythm guitar parts to "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin. This is the first song on Led Zeppelin II, which was released 45 years ago, on October 22, 1969. Today, the song is bigger than ever. Learning this is like a right of passage for rock guitar players. Although simple in nature, it's not easy to get just the right feel on the rhythm.

So many guys play this wrong, there's an trick on the open D string that almost everyone misses, but it's what gives it it's signature sound. Good luck with the tune.

I get a lot of questions about my sound so here's what I'm using:

My amp is an Egnater Renegade head through a Marshall 1960b cabinet. I use a TC Electronics Nova System through the loop for effects. On almost all songs I just use a digital delay, roughly 400ms, but some stuff I use tap tempo to set the delay. I also use a BB preamp on most lead tones and sometimes (rarely) a Boss CS-3 compressor. The reverb is from the amp. My wah is a Dunlop MC404 CAE Dual Inductor, REALLY great pedal! I also use a Polytune tuner which is fantastic.

My guitar is a 1975 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. I have Suhr Aldrich pickups on it. I have them coil split, but for this tune I had them running in full humbucker mode.
