Covered Heartbreaker by Led Zeppelin and am now rethinking my life

Originally posted in Plug my stuff, but now I think that might have been the wrong place to put it...

I decided to give myself a challenge a few weeks ago to learn and play through Heartbreaker as close to note for note as possible.

It took many, many hours on youtube watching videos, then watching them again, then again at 0.5x speed, then a quick jaunt over some kitten videos to ease the pain before returning to the solos again.

And then we rinse and repeat for the vocals...

I had help from Little Drummer Channel on Youtube - he is incredible!

Anyway, here is the final product, you'll notice the many shirt changes due to the many days it took.

The added bonus was that I got a lovely new Facebook photo.

Nice job....but I did spend most of it worried someone would come in through that door and knock you off your stool.

I have a video of this exact thing happening. I need to make an outtakes reel of this.

Absolute LZ fan boy here.
1. GREAT tone. I mean, you've really thought about it and nailed it. Not as much gain as most people think it has on it!
2. Really well put together with all the parts and you've obviously listened to it thousands of times to capture and replicate all those little nuances that Page and Plant recorded.
3. The solo is great, one of the best I've seen.

Thank you so much for this, you have really made my day!
