Having been exposed to "The Zep" (and a fan, of course) since practically Day One, at some point I think that their tunes had been so ingrained into my musical being, I just didn't feel the need to play them as "Carbon Covers". 
For instance, I found myself hearing "Achilles' Last Stand" as some sort of a "Jazzer". That eventually worked out into what you're hearing here.
This posting is a streamlined version of an extended "jam" I used as background for a YouTube Video entitled "Achilles' Last Groove - A Gutarist's Memorial":  essentially a slide show of a variety of git players (no longer with us in the flesh) that have been an influence to me.
I'm using two distinct rhythm loops (hence the project name: A/B Normal)that I operate and toggle in a live studio setting (as I have done with many of my works posted here). 

Kind of a nice change of pace, no?
