In this lesson we are going to take a look at the main riff to Led Zeppelin’s version of “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You”.
Using an arpeggiated picking pattern in A minor, this opening riff of Jimmy Page’s arrangement of “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” creates a very haunting yet beautiful sound.
In this Babe I’m Gonna Leave You guitar lesson I will show you how to play that gorgeous descending arpeggiated picking intro and verse note-for-note.
Pay close attention to letting the top melody notes ring for as long as possible. Especially the melody notes held with the first finger. It is a good exercise in coordination if you can keep your first finger down between the chord changes in which it holds the last melody note..
In addition to those frethand challenges, there is also quite a bit of string skipping in the picking hand. At the beginning of the lesson I do talk about how I approach arpeggiated picking on the guitar. I feel that this method is the most economical and the most comfortable in the long run. However, if you have never played in this way it might be a little awkward in the beginning. But if you always approach your picking patterns in this way you will eventually play every cross string arpeggiated pattern this way without thinking about it.
So take your time when attempting to put all of this together. Once again it is about letting those notes ring out for as long as possible, especially the top melody notes!
If you want to learn the entire song simply help me get this video 600 YouTube likes and after it meets that goal I will then teach the entire song note-for-note.
OK I will see you guys back here with the full song lesson soon. In the meantime make sure you master this awesome riff first.
Carl…

Great lesson man
This is fucking awesome! I searched for guitar notes for this absolutely
epic song and found a perfectly explained, well-filmed and amazingly played
lesson – Thank you so much mate!
Liked and subbed :)
Carl, your lessons are awesome. They are well produced, the multi-angle
shots are second to none and your selection of songs the most amazing out
there. I used to play when i was younger but stopped playing guitar after
finishing college. I’m 46 now and always thought i sucked at playing.
However, after coming across your tutorials about 6 months ago I started
practicing again . And boy does it feel good to know how to play Stairway
to Heaven! – a song i thought i could never master. I have now been to many
of your tutorials and started compiling a new songbook with songs i never
thought i was going to be able to play. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for sharing all
your talent “for free”.
Awesome thank you was struggling with this but totally makes sense now.

Wow, this song had just come up on shuffle in the car not more than an hour

the screen… what a coincidence. It must be my destiny to learn this.

Great lesson, thank you for posting.
I love this song. Thanks for all your lessons)
That’s it! 600 likes :D
SUCH a good tune! This had been on my guitar-to-do list for a long time
now. Excellent choice my friend, and props to you sir.
What model is the Great Divide guitar you are playing. I don’t know much
about the brand and they are hard to locate, but are surprisingly
inexpensive. But since a guitar player of your caliber is using one, it
must be worth looking into. Thanks! (p.s., I added my “like”!)
what knd of guitar is that? Sound good
….and i can’t wait to learn the rest of “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You”. I
wish YouTube would count each one of my 35 attempts to hit “Like” 🙂
We are almost there……
I’m not one to “like” videos, but this was an exceptional lesson. You’ve
gained a subscriber! Thanks, and keep it up!
Still waiting the second part 🙂
Hope it will come soon. Thx.
