About this lesson

Today we’re breaking down “Good Times Bad Times” by Led Zeppelin—a total classic & the opening track from their very first album. It's a great example of Jimmy Page’s rhythm genius. I'll show you: ⦿ The iconic intro riff and power chord shapes ⦿ The chord progression for each section (perfect if you're in a cover band!) ⦿ The changes for the solo section and how to jam over it And remember—Zeppelin tracks like this are often multi-tracked, so we’ll keep it tight and gig-friendly if you’re just one guitar player holding it down!
