SteveAJones Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I like "Nobody's Fault But Mine". Does anybody know what key of harmonica Robert played in it? This from Steve "The Lemon" Sauer: “Since Plant plays 'crossharp' style on the Led Zeppelin tracks, the key of the harmonica is a perfect fourth above the key of the song. So, for instance, the three main examples of his harmonica use in the studio with Zep -- You Shook Me, Bring It On Home and Nobody's Fault but Mine -- are in the key of E, so he is playing an A harp. On Poor Tom he uses an F harp, and on When the Levee Breaks it's a B-flat harp.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pezdel Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 CAN'T leave out the opening of When the Levee Breaks. The middle isn't too shabby either, except I wished Robert didn't fade out the way he does while Jimmy keeps playing. I guess Robert needed to catch his breath before the next verse.

jmaysen Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Most Zeppelin harmonica stuff is in E so the harp is a A basic rule of blue harp.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdr Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I love the harmonica on I Gotta Move. But the best for me is Bring It On Home, on Royal Albert Hall 1970. That "train" sound melts me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
