"Down By The Seaside" acoustic Zep

BrettBob · March 12, 2018, 02:22:30 PM

I've always had a soft spot for this somewhat obscure Led Zeppelin song. It was an outtake from IV and eventually made it onto Physical Graffiti, along with a lot of other outtakes to fill out the double album. I always dug Jones' laid back keyboards, but I wanted to translate those to dobro. I found it deceptively tough to get the breezy vibe of. Sometimes "less" is more of a challenge.

Instruments: Dobro | Cigar Box Biscuit | Acoustic Guitar | Acoustic Short Scale Bass | Cajon

First off, my hats off to you for even attempting this one. It sounds like it may be an easy tune, but I know how that goes LOL. You have done a great job with the instruments you have chosen to do this. I love that keyboard part myself and good move on the cajon. If you had a banjo and Double Bass in there it would be kinda like the band Steven Seagulls. They play rock songs in the style of bluegrass.

Great to hear this and nice going.
