I met Jimmy several times when he was with the Firm through my job as a professional rock photographer. He was always real nice. Was also lucky enough to see Led Zeppelin three times.
Epic riff creator , epic rythmn player , epic solos , epic slide playing , epic fingerpicking , epic chord progression , epic producer , epic songwriter , epic band creator . James Patrick Page is a modern day Beethoven and will be eternally remembered imo 👍
I am inspired. Now more than ever, even at the age of 70, I am determined to become better than good as I start to learn the guitar Page is just so creative and talented not just a guitarist but being able to produce and mix on te sound board.
To think people call him a sloppy player. That's not sloppiness that's just his technique that came naturally to him. So like Joe bonamassa said that isn't sloppy playing its just his style. Which is also displaying a lot of dynamics.
Frenetic not slop. If a mistake happens, he leaves it in the recording as it is the humanistic part of the art. He says he is not a technician, he deals with emotions. A true artist, and genius!
he’s definitely a sloppy live player. but that’s rock n’ roll. clean, perfect playing is not rock n’ roll. slash, who is one of my favorite guitarists, is also a sloppy live player.
@@joejones9520 Hey Joe, they are rare. There is one at 4:28 in Achilles Last Stand. He misses a note. But he is cranking an incredible lead and it's barely noticeable. It takes nothing away from him or the song. I read a book "Shades of Light and Dark" and he states that he would rather leave a mistake in as it is part of the art. To me he's one of the very best. He's influenced so many others...EVH, Vai, Satriani, Slash, Bonamassa just to name a few.
I've been listening to Led Zeppelin all my adult life I'm now 70 I play at least one Zeppelin song every day, thanks Jimmy for creating something so wonderful. 😀
Jimmy Page was your modern day Beethoven, he was simply a genius of music, music technology and art. I hope his legacy will be known to the newer generations of young musicians and artist. Jimmy Page has solidified his place as an historic figure in the world of cultural arts.
@@coolnamebro i never have understood what was bad about it, just a loose and raw live performance, they never did it like the record live anyway even in the day
I distinctly remember - as a 16 year-old in 1969 at a party in my student brother's flat - someone putting LZ 1 on the record player and hearing the opening of "Good Times, Bad Times" and then the rest of the album. Everyone in that room was blown away.
This man was so ahead of his time, and so brilliant. I've been playing for 6 yrs now, and when he was like 13, and the guy asked him, so how long you been playing? And he responded "4yrs now", I lost it. That's the greatness and super mega talented just getting warmed up.
Jimmy is so polite and never says anything people who say things untrue about him. There’s an old saying to you who made comments alluding to plagiarism, making a deal with the devil: let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Fact checking is another thing you would want to do if your making remarks about people. Jimmy is so talented and smart yes genius he doesn’t need black magic or the devil. Most of you were very respectful and your parents can be very proud. If guitar is what you want to learn then do it and I applaud you ❤
I saw Page in 1995, what an inspiration, he had the audience's emotions waxing and waning playing a Les Paul. To be there as an ear witness in the presence of a master was an honor, i still listen to the bootleg, he lives and breathes guitar.
Yes i recommend you read into, localized fredrick Peterson string placement or for short LFPSP . It started in around 1972 and jerry garcia was a big fan of it, he incorporated it lots on europe 72’. There is tons about it in the internet just google it. Lots of artists liked a more localized bendix positioning , kind of like a double switch vibrato key bar that you see waylon Jennings either sitting on, or activating with his right foot.
As an afflicted Zepian of 40+ years, it's great to observe this decent attempt at JP's guitar story from it's inception - He has acknowledged his loyal fanbase, but kept his distance in a considerably modest fashion before the 90's, so finding good material, aside from his great productions ain't easy - Always love to hear JP's reference to LZ arriving as an entity greater than the sum of it's parts, as Four Artisans launched the Mothership! - Well compiled TGMC 🕊.
Best out take, "His dad helped him", seems to be a common thread among successful musicians. My dad was in a band and I asked him to teach me guitar when I was 8 and he wasn't into it. I didn't pick up the guitar 'till much later, when I saw Song Remains The Same at a funky theater where the sound was out of sync with the film. I bought myself a black Les Paul that I still have to this day. Thanks Jimmy.
Like him or not the contribution to rock will be everlasting kids nowadays can name songs he was playing over 50 years ago and Stairway along with Kasmir we be part of rock history. My fav was Achilles . But they are all part of my memories.
Horace Mann 'Be ashamed to die until you have won a victory for humanity.'James Patrick Page has won many a victory for humanity with his contributions to music. An honour to be a lifelong fan of his work.
Jimmy is very smart with great vision , he put together a group that can’t be topped . If any one of those 4 weren’t in Led Zep , it wouldn’t have been anywhere near as successful imo
In my opinion, they still would have been successful even if they had a different singer, bass player and drummer Jimmy Page was the only irreplaceable one.
Super smart guy. I come up with great riffs and tunes sometimes in my head, sometimes while jamming. But I never remember them and they just get lost (like tears... in rain... haha!). But his obvious mental strength, training and great playing skills enabled him to hold his ideas, develop them, perfect them and get them out with the help of his amazing collaborators. Some bands were just meant to be, the sums of combined genius.
Mental strength and a pocket size spiral notebook he used to carry( I heard in one of his interviews) anything intriguing or useful he could apply to his music he 'd jot down, what's amazing is he seems to still have that ambitious spirit, Rock On JP⚡🎸⚡
I've studied jimmy since the first time i picked up a guitar. Led Zeppelin is so diverse in the music,tone, and timing. I would love to see the band that could keep up with them. not saying that other bands weren't important or great but few were as diverse.thank you Jimmy, josie ,John, and Robert.
@A Greg Berg Thing I didn't know about the H... I first got into Zep when I was in high school (like 2001). My dad introduced me to them & he only played 1, 2, 4 & Houses. I'm guessing 3 wasn't enough blues or rock for him, and maybe he just lost interest before PG came out. I got 3 back then because I'd heard Tangerine & read it was their weird folk album which intrigued me. But I never ventured further than Houses either & eventually moved on to other things as I went off to college & life happened. Not sure why, but the YT algorithm has brought them back to my attention in the last couple days. I'd forgotten how truly inspired I was by Page back in my younger years.
@@AGregBergThing 1977 was their last show, i cought that and yeah they weren't at the top still a good show. but when Page and plant went out they were great again even with all the Eastern influence.
Django Reinhardt was pretty good wasn't he? Let's just say Jimmy Page is among the best and most influential in rock music. The classical and jazz blokes too are outstanding as well, certainly technically and performance wise. Composition, arrangements and production is where Jimmy Page also scores well and what's made him famous.
I’m not sure I’ve ever heard Jimmy or ANY member of Zep utter a swear word. Very rare for their profession. Of course they lived hard and had their excesses but they ALL were/are very respectful of their craft and others.
@@crungefactory I don’t think I was trying to be literal. The point is ALL of them were USUALLY very respectful during interviews. I know the story of Bonzo and the motorcycle here in Los Angeles and other “Wanton” fun. John Paul Jones was ALWAYS a classy person. No matter how you slice it they were the GREATEST rock n roll band in the history of music!!!
yes i cant stand the constant f's in all performances and interviews now with rock musicians, it's like they think they to say it all the time to be cool
Hero of mine. I lived and went to school in Ewell/Epsom in the 70’s my parents still live there ( aged 92) and I’m still only up the road. Im a stockbroker never tried guitar. As kids in my class we all were all obsessed with Zeppelin and Jimmy total hero. All of us just in awe at the age of 17 apart from the punks who we used to fight with. Now 60 and still in awe. Saw Robert in Guildford a few months back. Such inspirational talented dignified people.And such fantastic music. Unequaled. Absolutely goes so deep into your soul like nothing else since.
it's very easy to learn guitar today with yt instruc vids, carl brown in particular is great, any riff/song youve ever wished u could play he or someone will have, I dont know how people who dont play guitar even get thru life, if you try it youll soon see what i mean.
Page was always a great guitarest Sence I first herd him in the yard birds they blew me away then Zep Lin in 68 I was shitting bricks they were so cool sounding I've had deep respect for Jimi Page I stood in front of him in1975 in Seattle one of the best concerts Ive ever seen and I've seen hundreds of concerts in my 68 years I'm also a drummer/ singer
No other band can come close to Zeppelin , what they did in just a decade basically is unheard of. There's no other band that has put out the quality of music they have in such a short amount of time. They're rock god's!!!
The mythical master of the guitar masters. Jimmy Page. As a kid I looked up to him as a guitar idol and role model. He was the standard in my mind to put all other rock music up against. No other guitarist since that time period has had as much of an impact as Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin. Of course then came Van Halen, Rhandy Rhodes, and countless other shock and awe guitarists. But there is only one Mythical guitar metal master, and that would be Jimmy Page.
One of the greats, I’d love to meet Jimmy Page someday. I’m a guitar player myself. I was fortunate enough to meet Eddie Van Halen and maintained a friendship with him thru the years. Anyway, a meeting with Jimmy Page 🎉 , that be a goal in 2023.
I saw Led Zeppelin on that first American tour and they were absolutely spectacular. I was so lucky to have caught it. The first LP is really their masterpiece. I saw them again on the Led Zeppelin II tour and it wasn't even close. They had already become megastars and you could sense them posing as much as playing. And the music wasn't as interesting. I kind of lost interest after that. But man, that first show was just off the charts.
Oh, thank you for this compilation. It's so good. ... I especially like the par at around twenty-one minutes when Jimmy explains his feelings for a need to get away from studio work, and for his want to create his own original music. ... Thank you.
To sit and have a discussion with this humble genious would be an absolute mind blowing experience that would rank as one of best experiences of my life.
Quite interesting, really. Chicago-Delta blues were digested by the Brits and spat back as an invasion to the US. The Beatles, Stones, John Mayall, Cream, Yardbirds, The Animals, and Led Zep. And so many more.. We were Dazed and Confused, indeed…
Then came Jimi Hendrix and bands like Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd out of that full circle and back to the South and beyond, wild how music reverberates and influences in waves across the entire planet maybe too fast nowadays, we might need to slow it down to catch the next wave(or get back to our roots in the form of jam sessions or multiple artists working together) before so many genres of music are lost forever
I saw their last American show in Oakland, July 24, 1977. Saw Jimmy about 5 more times. ARMS Concert, Beck and Clapton as well, Page solo, Page & Plant, Coverdale, The Firm. Still have tickets stubs and program from ARMS Concert. ✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶 p.s. Was going to go to O2 Arena back in 2007, but the only tickets I could find were over $4000 each!
He’s an amazing talented individual. Sure he has inspired many of us to pursue playing guitar, even if it isn’t professionally, and made us want to have fun with it. I started when I was 15 but never was able to really learn as I’m not musically equipped or musically capable so I still enjoy the instrument for years and learned to fix them as a luthier hobbyist, just to see real guitar players asking me “how do you do it if you can’t play?” Since they say I make it play like butter and that’s already enough for me as I feel I’m part of the success these players enjoy while playing an instrument I made better. I’m glad you’ve shared this video which shows how some start playing, like Jimmy did, at a very young age and 2 and a half years later are studio musicians, while others may spend lives not going all the way as we all are good at something naturally but the pain keep us trying to replicate the gift they were born with!! Everybody who loves guitar should watch “it might get loud” to check Jimmy, Jack White, and The Edge stories and experiences. They’re all awesome in their own realms, with different techniques, different approaches, but amazing all who stop to listen!
He's a very cool guy, a pleasant nice person who takes interest in people. You know what I mean, he's smart and is aware of what's going around him. Mostly the quarky parts of life. And that's the kind of thing I enjoy about life. It's not about the money or who is who he's not pretentious and his parents were exceptional people you can tell by the way he speaks of them in high regard. I didn't realize he was so down to earth. But he knows how to put on a show as well.
What people need to learn from Jimmy Page is how important everyone else's creativity is. Even on the largest stages on the planet, the four of them would gather round the drums and improvise some marvellous music. Never to be equalled.
pure guitar genius blackdog communication breakdown few favorites i always liked hearing along with all the rest of the legendary songs he and the band created together! 🤗👍
“Rather disappointing on the whole, I would say.” Wow…what a quote to hear from such a young Jimmy Page, who would end up far surpassing any of those fellow musicians he was referring to. Such insightful and truthful commentary from someone so young. Have never seen this interview before. Love it!
I think this is an outstanding inspirational video. Time for jam practice. 1990 LP Standard Heritage Cherry Burst with Seymour Duncan 59n & JBb. Happy Holidays! Fair winds and following seas to all.
@@theguitarmusicchannel I subscribed and liked. I hope you do more features with other guitar greats, your in-depth features of their early career until their latter years is like a mini-history documentary. God bless!
I've actually got a new found RESPECT for Jimmy Page after watching a few of these..for a long time I THOUGHT he was kinda a jerk,BUT WAS WRONG.. he's really a lover of music, awesome friends with Jeff Beck,and OF COURSE knows his stuff.hes actually awesome..
Great upload... Although it left somewhat of a black cloud over me as I thought its 2023 and do we really have such talented, pure musicians that leave such legacies anymore... Maybe! But it feels like they are dying breed.... All hail the church of Led Zeppelin
The Great Jimmy Page. Zeppelin brought it all. It was an epic story of mythology and music that is on a spiritual level unheard of before it. There was laughter, tears, happiness and tragedy woven into its fabric. You could see and feel the depth it brought from the four guys making it. They set the stage for an elongated era of Rock that brought the very best out of musicians. The 1970s was an absolute decades of the best talent we've ever seen. Bands had a benchmark that was close to impossible to meet and that's one of the things Led Zeppelin made bands do just to compete. Supertramp, Styx, Boston, Pinkfloyd the list goes on of incredible talent pushing the limits.
I saw Led Zeppelin April 30th 1977 Pontiac Silverdome my father took me for my 14th birthday yes I do remember it I can't say the other 79,999 do thanks again pops rest in peace sir
This was great, you were a very interesting young man. I especially enjoyed you with your Sciffle band and your buddy who was a little older, I can't help but think how many guys get to say they were the lead guitar in a band James Page was in. I also think you held up well to integration by the host. It's not every day they meet young teenagers who are their equal in intellectual matters. LoL. I never really thought of it as being make dropping when I talk about musical or any other artists. I always thought that was limited to people around town or in business. Because all that is kind of a hustle but music of pure and I really love to share with people who bring so much joy to my life. But I guess it may be or seem to be name dropping. And I get it but folks who talk about art and music around me I think are the greatest. Thank you for sharing these names, paint or theater and any form of music. It's like I don't see a difference between a classical violinist or a poor blues man in humble attires. 8 probably wouldn't even notice any difference because of my inflated opinion of them from the music. I say that because I think that would be a great book. To have the hearts of rock and roll talk about say their twenty to fifty favorite albums and why. Like the old. Of you were stuck on an island what 20 albums would you bring? You have a couple on my list and the rest would be from Randy Newman 12 songs. A few folk and a few Dylan... Byrd's sweetheart of... Anyway, I would love to hear what you like I think that says a lot. Anyway, I enjoy your music and your thoughts on things are much they came way as my personal friends have been in life. A little coffee and some good conversation is one of the best things in life. Thanks Jimi
Great job putting this together. Extremely interesting and informative. I would suggest a different title though. There is so much more to this than simply how to play guitar according to Jimmy Page. Thank you for sharing this film! I love it.
About 9:00 in, he’s listening to The Rumble and the looks on his face are priceless. He feels about it now the same way he did 60 or however many years ago when he first heard it.
I'm new here, and have subbed straight away! Thanks for pulling all these together. While I have seen most of the clips there were a few that were new to me (the Oxford Union clip for instance) and it's great to have them all together in one video! Keep up the good work, and I'm off to check out your other videos! Happy New Year for 2023! Cheers from Liverpool, England.
They have zillions - so they don't need to - besides Robert isn't in to it - or that's the vibe - As expensive as the tickets are now I wouldn't pay to see them - maybe when I was 17 ....
Plant can't sing the songs anymore they had to lower the keys down a hole step from e to d in 2007 . That was 15 years ago so they would have to lower them down even further now . Plant is limited to his lower ranges now and without his upper ranges the songs lose a huge amount of impact and they lose more impact down tuned to lower keys. Page will be 79 on January 9th so he can't play the songs either. He had declined significantly by 2007 and has said himself he does not very much and does not even keep an elector guitar in house . He is 79 and is worth several hundred million dollars already and so Plant . They don't need the money and Plant is not interested.
He gets more beautiful with age his hands are so delicate age has not deformed them I hope he continues to play with various artists he really does make love to the instrument and it seems to me that the only time he shows the depth of his soul ❤️
and back then it was extremely hard to learn guitar, no instrc. vids, few films of live performances and even if you caught one, no rewind and few interviews where a guitarist explains what tuning or key he played a song in, you had to have a natural gift to get anywhere with it.
@@joejones9520you didn’t need a natural gift. All you needed was to learn by ear or a chord book. Jimmy got so good because he practiced for 5 hours everyday. He even played guitar in school
@@joejones9520 you’re not. He was a great guitarist. Not because of a gift but because he practiced it. Maybe he had a gift for songwriting but anyone can learn to play guitar. It just takes time and dedication
Yeah right. Jimmy has been saying he's gonna release new material for 20 years now. He's never going to. He's almost 80, I doubt we ever get more music from him before he leaves us
My God! He became a session guitarist after only 2 and a half years of playing… working into a tight union! And at 4 years he was getting renown and interviewed! No doubt he practiced like a fiend. But that’s it… you can’t tell me differently. He was naturally brilliant almost right out of the gate. Work your A#$ off, but not everyone is a Jimmy Page. I trust you knew that already.
Skill demands where lower in Brittan back then for studio guitarists. For all Jimmy's talents, he would never be allowed into L. A. based session group The Wrecking Crew, where Glen Campbell and Tommy Tedesco sat on the guitar thrones, they where better musicians and guitarist by a country mile.
@@Pladderkasse There's a lot more to being a legendary guitarist than chops and theory. But yes, as just a session guitarist, chops and theory are where it's at.
@@Pladderkasse Love Tommy but completely different talent compared to Jimmy. Tommy would never be allowed into Zep- his talent was guitar improv for the moment, an important cog in the Wrecking Crew wheel. Jimmy was driving guitar technique for rock evolution. Both great talents, but completely different in both approach and form.

It's amazing how he can acknowledge his amazing accomplishments without sounding egotistical. It's just matter of fact.

Watching Jimmy Page playing air guitar shows the pure joy he takes in his craft.
It's funny, it seems to be a normal instinctive reaction for him to play air guitar while he's "speaking with his hands" as others do.
What I always see in Jimmy Page - true JOY!

Composition, arrangements and production is where Jimmy Page also scores well and what's made him famous.
The man is brilliant.
An absolutely incredible musician!
The mighty Led Zeppelin is and always will be the Greatest Rock band of all time!!!!
That's fine but who's the greatest R'n'R band of all time then?
I’m not sure I’ve ever heard Jimmy or ANY member of Zep utter a swear word. Very rare for their profession. Of course they lived hard and had their excesses but they ALL were/are very respectful of their craft and others.
Bonham 9-29-71, "fuckin' 'ell" before Moby dick
@@crungefactory I don’t think I was trying to be literal. The point is ALL of them were USUALLY very respectful during interviews. I know the story of Bonzo and the motorcycle here in Los Angeles and other “Wanton” fun. John Paul Jones was ALWAYS a classy person. No matter how you slice it they were the GREATEST rock n roll band in the history of music!!!
yes i cant stand the constant f's in all performances and interviews now with rock musicians, it's like they think they to say it all the time to be cool
And a hell of a nice guy to boot.❤️
Hero of mine. I lived and went to school in Ewell/Epsom in the 70’s my parents still live there ( aged 92) and I’m still only up the road. Im a stockbroker never tried guitar. As kids in my class we all were all obsessed with Zeppelin and Jimmy total hero. All of us just in awe at the age of 17 apart from the punks who we used to fight with. Now 60 and still in awe. Saw Robert in Guildford a few months back. Such inspirational talented dignified people.And such fantastic music. Unequaled. Absolutely goes so deep into your soul like nothing else since.
it's very easy to learn guitar today with yt instruc vids, carl brown in particular is great, any riff/song youve ever wished u could play he or someone will have, I dont know how people who dont play guitar even get thru life, if you try it youll soon see what i mean.
Page was always a great guitarest Sence I first herd him in the yard birds they blew me away then Zep Lin in 68 I was shitting bricks they were so cool sounding I've had deep respect for Jimi Page I stood in front of him in1975 in Seattle one of the best concerts Ive ever seen and I've seen hundreds of concerts in my 68 years I'm also a drummer/ singer
I'm so Happy I found this. Missed my only chance to see Led Zeppelin in 77' But I got to see this Thanks
No other band can come close to Zeppelin , what they did in just a decade basically is unheard of. There's no other band that has put out the quality of music they have in such a short amount of time. They're rock god's!!!
Blessings to you Jimmy. Thanks!
The mythical master of the guitar masters. Jimmy Page. As a kid I looked up to him as a
guitar idol and role model. He was the standard in my mind to put all other rock music up against.
No other guitarist since that time period has had as much of an impact as Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin.
Of course then came Van Halen, Rhandy Rhodes, and countless other shock and awe guitarists.
But there is only one Mythical guitar metal master, and that would be Jimmy Page.
One of the greats, I’d love to meet Jimmy Page someday. I’m a guitar player myself.
I was fortunate enough to meet Eddie Van Halen and maintained a friendship with him thru the years.
Anyway, a meeting with Jimmy Page 🎉 , that be a goal in 2023.
Jmmy Page is a genius, how could anyone come up with those lengedary riffs, till today ....
Nice compilation of clips. Might adjust the audio levels before posting. Very cumbersome to watch and adjust volume throughout.
absolutely one of most majical moments in music wish I was there also impactful
I always tried to have my acoustic with me at all times
I saw Led Zeppelin on that first American tour and they were absolutely spectacular. I was so lucky to have caught it. The first LP is really their masterpiece. I saw them again on the Led Zeppelin II tour and it wasn't even close. They had already become megastars and you could sense them posing as much as playing. And the music wasn't as interesting. I kind of lost interest after that. But man, that first show was just off the charts.
Oh, thank you for this compilation. It's so good. ... I especially like the par at around twenty-one minutes when Jimmy explains his feelings for a need to get away from studio work, and for his want to create his own original music. ... Thank you.
What a dad you have, indeed.
Have admired his musicianship all my life.
To sit and have a discussion with this humble genious would be an absolute mind blowing experience that would rank as one of best experiences of my life.
Jimmy Page , Iommi and Blackmore are the 3 reasons I’ve been playing guitar for 37 years. God bless Jimmy Page 🤘🎸
Me too, although Blackmore was my favorite of the three, followed by Iommi.
But for some audio issues, I think this is a fabulous tribute and very well done. Thank you. Sincerely.
if by issues you mean totally fucked yes i agree
Quite interesting, really. Chicago-Delta blues were digested by the Brits and spat back as an invasion to the US. The Beatles, Stones, John Mayall, Cream, Yardbirds, The Animals, and Led Zep. And so many more.. We were Dazed and Confused, indeed…
Then came Jimi Hendrix and bands like Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd out of that full circle and back to the South and beyond, wild how music reverberates and influences in waves across the entire planet maybe too fast nowadays, we might need to slow it down to catch the next wave(or get back to our roots in the form of jam sessions or multiple artists working together) before so many genres of music are lost forever
I saw their last American show in Oakland, July 24, 1977. Saw Jimmy about 5 more times. ARMS Concert, Beck and Clapton as well, Page solo, Page & Plant, Coverdale, The Firm. Still have tickets stubs and program from ARMS Concert.
✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
p.s. Was going to go to O2 Arena back in 2007, but the only tickets I could find were over $4000 each!
He’s an amazing talented individual. Sure he has inspired many of us to pursue playing guitar, even if it isn’t professionally, and made us want to have fun with it. I started when I was 15 but never was able to really learn as I’m not musically equipped or musically capable so I still enjoy the instrument for years and learned to fix them as a luthier hobbyist, just to see real guitar players asking me “how do you do it if you can’t play?” Since they say I make it play like butter and that’s already enough for me as I feel I’m part of the success these players enjoy while playing an instrument I made better. I’m glad you’ve shared this video which shows how some start playing, like Jimmy did, at a very young age and 2 and a half years later are studio musicians, while others may spend lives not going all the way as we all are good at something naturally but the pain keep us trying to replicate the gift they were born with!! Everybody who loves guitar should watch “it might get loud” to check Jimmy, Jack White, and The Edge stories and experiences. They’re all awesome in their own realms, with different techniques, different approaches, but amazing all who stop to listen!
5:06 I also leaned guitar from Bert Weedon's Play In A Day. Didn't work for me. But 15 years ago I became friends with Bert Weedon's grandson.
He's as inspiring a talker about his craft as his craft itself.
He's a very cool guy, a pleasant nice person who takes interest in people. You know what I mean, he's smart and is aware of what's going around him. Mostly the quarky parts of life. And that's the kind of thing I enjoy about life. It's not about the money or who is who he's not pretentious and his parents were exceptional people you can tell by the way he speaks of them in high regard. I didn't realize he was so down to earth. But he knows how to put on a show as well.
What people need to learn from Jimmy Page is how important everyone else's creativity is.
Even on the largest stages on the planet, the four of them would gather round the drums and improvise some marvellous music.
Never to be equalled.
That was the most inspirational video on Jimmy that I have seen. Thanks for letting me see it,and creating this video!❤😂
pure guitar genius blackdog communication breakdown few favorites i always liked hearing along with all the rest of the legendary songs he and the band created together! 🤗👍
“Rather disappointing on the whole, I would say.” Wow…what a quote to hear from such a young Jimmy Page, who would end up far surpassing any of those fellow musicians he was referring to. Such insightful and truthful commentary from someone so young. Have never seen this interview before. Love it!
Impressive indeed, he had vision and guts so early.
HANDS DOWN THE GREATEST SONG WRITER... ACCORDING TO THE LARGE VOLUME OF GREAT ALBUMS HE CREATED WITH LED ZEPPELIN
Fantastic compilation of his thoughts. Great job!
When Hendrix showed what could be, Page came along and raised the ante.
Hendrix is way beyond Zeppelin
@@VoodooApexnot really but he definitely paved the way
I think this is an outstanding inspirational video. Time for jam practice. 1990 LP Standard Heritage Cherry Burst with Seymour Duncan 59n & JBb. Happy Holidays!
Fair winds and following seas to all.
Same time frame, that was how we learned rock and roll.
I’ve followed Jimmy Page since 1972. Wonderful video. I enjoyed it.
Well Done !
Jimmy, What an inspiration.
Jimmy is a very erudite man. Phenomenal talent.
Bravo Sir....!!!
One of THE best videos on Jimmi PAGE, especially the younger years. Thank you for this.
No problem! Thank you for Watching!
@@theguitarmusicchannel I subscribed and liked. I hope you do more features with other guitar greats, your in-depth features of their early career until their latter years is like a mini-history documentary. God bless!
Absolutely!!! God Bless Brother! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
4 years into playing guitar he's a session player!
This is good stuff. 🎸👏❤
I've actually got a new found RESPECT for Jimmy Page after watching a few of these..for a long time I THOUGHT he was kinda a jerk,BUT WAS WRONG.. he's really a lover of music, awesome friends with Jeff Beck,and OF COURSE knows his stuff.hes actually awesome..
Great upload... Although it left somewhat of a black cloud over me as I thought its 2023 and do we really have such talented, pure musicians that leave such legacies anymore... Maybe! But it feels like they are dying breed.... All hail the church of Led Zeppelin
The Great Jimmy Page. Zeppelin brought it all. It was an epic story of mythology and music that is on a spiritual level unheard of before it. There was laughter, tears, happiness and tragedy woven into its fabric. You could see and feel the depth it brought from the four guys making it. They set the stage for an elongated era of Rock that brought the very best out of musicians. The 1970s was an absolute decades of the best talent we've ever seen. Bands had a benchmark that was close to impossible to meet and that's one of the things Led Zeppelin made bands do just to compete. Supertramp, Styx, Boston, Pinkfloyd the list goes on of incredible talent pushing the limits.
I saw Led Zeppelin April 30th 1977 Pontiac Silverdome my father took me for my 14th birthday yes I do remember it I can't say the other 79,999 do thanks again pops rest in peace sir
Cool dad
Lol..nice.
Talk about a Master class. Jack and Dave were TRIPPING🤣🤣🤣
It was a great video. Thank you for putting it together. I will watch it again.
This was great, you were a very interesting young man. I especially enjoyed you with your Sciffle band and your buddy who was a little older, I can't help but think how many guys get to say they were the lead guitar in a band James Page was in. I also think you held up well to integration by the host. It's not every day they meet young teenagers who are their equal in intellectual matters. LoL. I never really thought of it as being make dropping when I talk about musical or any other artists. I always thought that was limited to people around town or in business. Because all that is kind of a hustle but music of pure and I really love to share with people who bring so much joy to my life. But I guess it may be or seem to be name dropping. And I get it but folks who talk about art and music around me I think are the greatest. Thank you for sharing these names, paint or theater and any form of music. It's like I don't see a difference between a classical violinist or a poor blues man in humble attires. 8 probably wouldn't even notice any difference because of my inflated opinion of them from the music. I say that because I think that would be a great book. To have the hearts of rock and roll talk about say their twenty to fifty favorite albums and why. Like the old. Of you were stuck on an island what 20 albums would you bring? You have a couple on my list and the rest would be from Randy Newman 12 songs. A few folk and a few Dylan... Byrd's sweetheart of... Anyway, I would love to hear what you like I think that says a lot. Anyway, I enjoy your music and your thoughts on things are much they came way as my personal friends have been in life. A little coffee and some good conversation is one of the best things in life. Thanks Jimi
Nice job on putting this together.
Even as a young man, he's articulate and confident. Sharp as a whip 😎
Great job putting this together. Extremely interesting and informative. I would suggest a different title though. There is so much more to this than simply how to play guitar according to Jimmy Page. Thank you for sharing this film! I love it.
Brilliant. Just subbed
I learned from Bert Weedon's Play in a Day too. Camptown Races was a particular favourite!
Imagine being a total rock god, and then being this nice a person.
He doesn’t know lol
Jimmy Page is my guitar idol but he has done some fucked up stuff, let’s not ignore that
About 9:00 in, he’s listening to The Rumble and the looks on his face are priceless. He feels about it now the same way he did 60 or however many years ago when he first heard it.
Everything 60s started and aimed for, 70s achieved. No other era can come to 70s.
Agreed.
That was a great compilation. Outstanding. Thanks for the work. Not easy to do right. Cheers.
Thank you good sir!! We appreciate that!! Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm new here, and have subbed straight away!
Thanks for pulling all these together. While I have seen most of the clips there were a few that were new to me (the Oxford Union clip for instance) and it's great to have them all together in one video!
Keep up the good work, and I'm off to check out your other videos!
Happy New Year for 2023!
Cheers from Liverpool, England.
Thanks brother!! We appreciate the support!! Happy to hear you enjoyed it! Stay safe!
If "Led Zeppelin" went on tour tomorrow they would make a zillion dollars every night.
They have zillions - so they don't need to - besides Robert isn't in to it - or that's the vibe - As expensive as the tickets are now I wouldn't pay to see them - maybe when I was 17 ....
Without Bonham it wouldn't be anywhere as exciting.
That is one brainless stupid comment and my life is worse having read it
Plant can't sing the songs anymore they had to lower the keys down a hole step from e to d in 2007 . That was 15 years ago so they would have to lower them down even further now . Plant is limited to his lower ranges now and without his upper ranges the songs lose a huge amount of impact and they lose more impact down tuned to lower keys. Page will be 79 on January 9th so he can't play the songs either. He had declined significantly by 2007 and has said himself he does not very much and does not even keep an elector guitar in house . He is 79 and is worth several hundred million dollars already and so Plant . They don't need the money and Plant is not interested.
On May 16th 1995 - I saw Page and Plant play together (Unledded tour) at the Forum in L.A. it was magical and one of my all time favorite concerts!
Thank you for putting these clips together. It was really awesome.
He gets more beautiful with age his hands are so delicate age has not deformed them I hope he continues to play with various artists he really does make love to the instrument and it seems to me that the only time he shows the depth of his soul ❤️
Dude played guitar for 2 -1/2 years and was a session player ! ..that's CRAZY !
and back then it was extremely hard to learn guitar, no instrc. vids, few films of live performances and even if you caught one, no rewind and few interviews where a guitarist explains what tuning or key he played a song in, you had to have a natural gift to get anywhere with it.
@@joejones9520you didn’t need a natural gift. All you needed was to learn by ear or a chord book. Jimmy got so good because he practiced for 5 hours everyday. He even played guitar in school
@@LATPII i promise im right
@@joejones9520 you’re not. He was a great guitarist. Not because of a gift but because he practiced it. Maybe he had a gift for songwriting but anyone can learn to play guitar. It just takes time and dedication
@@LATPII ive played for over 40yrs
He’s so compelling and keen; I feel like he ought to be up to something equally interesting right now.
Yeah right. Jimmy has been saying he's gonna release new material for 20 years now. He's never going to. He's almost 80, I doubt we ever get more music from him before he leaves us
@@american_psycho1147 all because of kenneth anger...
@@joejones9520who is Kenneth Anger? What happened between him and Jimmy?
@@mariadambrosio719 they had a falling out and anger put a curse on him
Great video!
My God! He became a session guitarist after only 2 and a half years of playing… working into a tight union! And at 4 years he was getting renown and interviewed! No doubt he practiced like a fiend. But that’s it… you can’t tell me differently. He was naturally brilliant almost right out of the gate. Work your A#$ off, but not everyone is a Jimmy Page. I trust you knew that already.
Skill demands where lower in Brittan back then for studio guitarists. For all Jimmy's talents, he would never be allowed into L. A. based session group The Wrecking Crew, where Glen Campbell and Tommy Tedesco sat on the guitar thrones, they where better musicians and guitarist by a country mile.
@@Pladderkasse There's a lot more to being a legendary guitarist than chops and theory. But yes, as just a session guitarist, chops and theory are where it's at.
@@Pladderkasse Love Tommy but completely different talent compared to Jimmy. Tommy would never be allowed into Zep- his talent was guitar improv for the moment, an important cog in the Wrecking Crew wheel. Jimmy was driving guitar technique for rock evolution. Both great talents, but completely different in both approach and form.
