How To Play Guitar According To Jimmy Page

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.

I could listen to Page talk about the guitar for hours and hours. Never gets boring

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. 😀

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.

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

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 👍

james patrick page is a transpiring sorcerer of his guitar production and songwriting nobody touches his cerebellum

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.

“When I formed Led Zeppelin I wanted to change music, and it clearly did”. Damn, Jimmy Page is just a pure badass. 😎

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.

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.

There’s something mystical about this guy

What an interesting and humble gentleman Jimmy Page is. I have always marveled at his focus and composure while playing.

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.

What a life of a living legend ✌️😊

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.

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.

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 🕊.

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 ❤
