Kashmir


"Kashmir" is a landmark track by Led Zeppelin, featured on their sixth studio album Physical Graffiti (1975). Written primarily by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, with John Bonham's contributions, the song developed over three years. For electric guitar players, it offers a deep study in open tunings, orchestral arrangement, and Page's signature riff-driven approach that blends rock power with a hypnotic, Eastern-influenced feel.

  • Jimmy Page used DADGAD open tuning to achieve Kashmir's distinctive droning riff, making it an essential lesson in alternate tunings.
  • Lyrics for the song date back to 1973, meaning the track was crafted gradually over roughly three years before its 1975 release.
  • John Paul Jones missed early recording sessions and therefore received no official songwriting credit, despite his role in the arrangement.

Fender Telecaster

Jimmy Page's 1958 Telecaster (gifted by Jeff Beck) delivered the bright, spanky single-coil attack that defined Led Zeppelin I's raw, bluesy edge. Its snappy treble cut through the mix on early tracks before Page switched to the warmer Les Paul for the band's heavier sound.

Gibson Les Paul Standard

Page's 1959 Les Paul Standard with PAF humbuckers became the sonic backbone of Led Zeppelin from 1969 onward, its warm mahogany body and dynamic unpotted pickups creating the sustain-rich, touch-sensitive tone heard on 'Whole Lotta Love' and 'Black Dog.'

While Page primarily used the Les Paul Standard, a Custom's thicker body and tonal characteristics would complement his dynamic playing style, offering similar warmth with potentially enhanced bottom-end punch for Zeppelin's heavier arrangements.

Marshall Plexi (1959 Super Lead)

The Marshall 1959 Super Lead Plexi was Page's primary amplifier from Led Zeppelin II onward, cranked past 7 for natural power-tube saturation and natural breakup that responded dynamically to his pick attack and volume knob control.

Page deployed the Vox AC30 in the studio for cleaner, chiming tones and layering textures that added dimension to Led Zeppelin's arrangements, offering a vintage British tone that complemented the Marshall's aggression.

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah

Page's Vox Cry Baby wah became iconic on 'Dazed and Confused,' its expressive sweep adding vocal-like character to his lead work throughout Led Zeppelin's catalog, integral to the band's psychedelic and blues-rock textures.
