Led Zep Kashmir?

[Padmei]

What is the instrument that plays the Da da Dah menacing sound that underlies the whole song

[Bikemad]

orchestra string section ?

[T.W.R]

Under layed sound track of arabic Setar

[98tls]

Was the grinding of hips before chicks got fat.

[rapid van cleef]

there is no sitar on this track.....

its a guitar, strings in unison( same notes)
bass guitar plays bass note of chord and the same note 1 octave higher

there is brass in there too but on the b section between each of the verses playing the descending phrases

there is also a early keyboard, i think its a mellotron playing on the really epic section that is the outro,

my favourite song ever

POW!

The song includes many distinctive musical patterns of classical Moroccan, Indian and Middle Eastern music. Page explained, "I had a sitar for some time and I was interested in modal tunings and Arabic stuff. It started off with a riff and then employed Eastern lines underneath.

That was FUCKING Awesome. i don't often say nice things about people - you guys rock.
Even the edge (from the most overxposed should have retired 20 years ago group ) used my words - menacing.

[Padmei]

Now I'm gonna have to find the chords & make a mash of it.

its actually quite easy to play even in standard tuning....but they dont make grooves like that anymore!

fucking mint!

even the drum parts are pretty easy but no-one grooves like john bonham!

[rapid van cleef]

the edge wrote a song once......

i was influenced by him way back in the early 80s. U2 live at red rocks was awesome gig

then he discovered digital delay and bought a hat.........

now hes a twat with a lot of cash and a digital delay pedal....

All I hear when I listen to it is massed bowed cellos and violas but maybe that was the point. I'm totally deferring to your expertise.

and I have it playing at present. What a song.

I loved u2 when War came out. Boy was good They lost it under a blood red sky. I was about 16 or so. I felt had when I watched a concert from another country & it was exactly the same as what I'd seen in the logan campbell centre.

I will look at that movie later thanks HDC.


You're right RVC about John Bonham. Incredible skills. My girl is learning drums at the mo & I try to show her some of the greats.
i bought an electric guitar many years ago with the sole purpose of learning the intro to 'over the hills & far away'. Never got there fully but enjoyed the journey.

Wonder how many people are going to go to bed with Da na Na da na NA going thru their heads

[rapid van cleef]

id be pretty suprised if there were many violas on there

violins and cellos, possibly double bass, maybe violas...its hard to tell as there so much going on in there all occupying the same sonic space

but anyway...a great song

[rapid van cleef]

brilliant youtube post.......watching it now

[Padmei]

I just checked the tab & it looks like a few strings have to be retuned?


http://www.guitaretab.com/l/led-zeppelin/10228.html

[rapid van cleef]

its dadgad tuning

so, starting at the low E( that fat string)

drop it to D,
5th string stays A
4 string stays D
3rd string( the g string) stays G
2nd string drop it to A
top string( thinest) drop it to D

often people call the fat string the top string, thats not correct, its the bottom string as its the lowest note

good luck

yeah plus I have violas on the brain (yes, its a thing) because of listening to early Velvet Underground so obsessively ....

Except that Mr Jones says there is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmir_(song)

Sitar + mellotron + string section


Orchestral brass and strings with electric guitar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_guitar) and mellotron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellotron) strings appear in the song. This is one of the few Led Zeppelin songs to use outside musicians. Session players were brought in for the string and horn sections.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmir_(song)#cite_note-complete-3) According to Jones, "the secret of successful keyboard string parts is to play only the parts that a real string section would play. That is, one line for the First Violins, one line for Second Violins, one for Violas, one for Cellos, one for Basses. Some divided parts [two or more notes to a line] are allowed, but keep them to a minimum. Think melodically".[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmir_(song)#cite_note-8)

Except that Mr Jones says there is:


No he doesn't. JP says that he'd been influenced by sitar tunings for his guitar parts, but there's no mention of sitars used on the actual record.

Yeah WTF would that old geezer in the video know about it anyway. Posh old English bugger probably never even heard of Led Zeppelin. :no:

:Punk::Punk:

[ellipsis]

...i'm sure there's a little bloke on a kazoo in there also...or maybe not....
