This is my new cover of Achilles Last Stand’s guitar solo, a song by Led Zeppelin, off the “Presence” album (1976).
I used a FREE BACKING TRACK that contains Drums and Bass, and I played all of the Guitar parts.
I think this is one of the best songs by Led Zeppelin, and its for sure the most complex song by this band.
I personally think that this song is way too underrated, its as epic as Stairway to Heaven, and it also features more work and creativity on all instruments.
Maybe this song had “bad luck” cuz it was realeased in an album where not all of the songs were as epic and amazing as Achilles.
On another circumstances, Achilles Last Stand could be considered as the best and most famous Led Zeppelin song.
Its guitar solo is very interesting, there are 2 parts where the tempo changes, and the solo re-takes the normal tempo again. This solo is FULL of feeling, and I did my best to cover that crucial detail.
I hope you like my cover, thanks for watching!

As usual, I used my Zoom G2.1u effects pedal, so these are the settings for the patch I made for this cover:

el Cubase sirve para grabar lo que recibe de tu pedal de efectos (conectado a la computadora por supuesto).
Es muy fácil de usar, muy intuitivo.

I’ve gotta tell you …
I’ve gotta tell you man, that was excellent. That sounds just the way Jimmy played it. I agree as well, they’re longer songs tend to be the best ones. Great job!!

well, I have no …
well, I have no problem with long songs if theyre good, and Achilles is magnificent.
But I understand your point, being shorter would have given to it more chances to become more “known”.

i honestly think …
i honestly think this would of been led zeppelins best song if it diddnt go for 10 minutes, it originaly went for only 6 minutes but they had to fill the gap on the record.
