oh yes, the mandarin....Originally posted by thefonz
You don't realize why most people think Jimmy Page is the best ever until you pick up a guitar and try to play some of his pieces. Brillant man that Jimmy. That's the Way is probably the most underated Zepplin song out there......even though the best parts are done on the mandarin by John Paul Jones, absolutely beautiful.
I'll second that. Jimmy Page has always been my idol. Still plan on getting a Les Paul someday just because of him. If you listen to some live performances, you'll see he can be sloppy and make a lot of mistakes, but what's in his playing outshines all the technically great guitarists out there in my opinion.Originally posted by thefonz

Create self-fulfilling prophecies. Always assume the positive. Assume she likes you. Assume she wants to talk to you. Assume she wants to go out with you. When you think positive, positive things happen.

I always felt Page was a very sloppy player. Hendrix was the same. These guys were more innovators then guitar masters.If you listen to some live performances, you'll see he can be sloppy and make a lot of mistakes, but what's in his playing outshines all the technically great guitarists out there in my opinion.
I agree some of his stuff is sloppy, but still sounds good. Some of it is real crisp though, like Bron-y-aur. Rain Song too. That guy is such a damn genius, and knows it all came from the American south, and gives nods to the blues. What a creative guy. His musical instincts astonish me, still, and always will. I'll just never tire of Zeppelin.Originally posted by The Bad Ass Canadian

The cool thing about Page was how he would make a mistake, then play it 3 times in a row and turn it into a lick.. hahaha how's that for fooling the audience?
I front a rock band. We tour quite a bit. We're under an agency and have been a pretty big up-and-comer on Canada's East Coast, thia past year.Originally posted by crowes22

Bad Ass, what do you do? Session work/teach/gigs?
What kind of axes do you have?
