Learn how to play You Shook Me, as performed by Led Zeppelin released as part of their debut Led Zeppelin I album. A cover of a Willie Dixon song that they made their own. The story goes that Jimmy's friend brought by a flying V guitar that he was trying to sell, and Jimmy used the guitar for at least part of the You Shook Me recording. My hypothesis is that it is used on the solo and the rhythm guitar behind the solo, with his dragon Telecaster playing the intro/outro and verses with slide.
The lesson covers all the lead and rhythm guitar parts.
