[69smoothie69]

awsome

[EddySanchez101]

Drummer looks like side show bob, u rock

[BeauJSimpson]

does he use a special tuning or is it just standard?

[kleinebudde]

@BeauJSimpson It's standard tuning, but he's playing his guitar upside down, since it's a righthand guitar but he's lefthanded.

[heyhowami]

@kleinebudde wrong he is playing a left handed guitar. He just buts the bottom string on the bottom and goes up. Which means the big string is the longest instead of the little string being the longest. It gives a huge tone change

[kleinebudde]

@heyhowami Oh, you're right, he's actually playing a lefthanded. When he started playing he used to play a righthand guitar upside down, I think that gave him the influence to relocate the strings on his lefthanded guitar.

[heyhowami]

@kleinebudde Actually he was good friends with leo fender (not to mention he helped shape the 100 watt amp.thank god haha) but even in the early footage of him playing he still has this same setup. But beyond the point. what do you think inspired him to play with his strings that way?

[nAdtAg39]

thats my Dick friend :P

[gc241]

He has always played the guitar left handed.

[sugarmagnolia506]

[surfhomie]

@Theoccasionalcoop I've watched it a few years ago but I can't remember much of it. Sorry for my comment

[heythinkaboutit]

Guitar playing is not like running very fast, you can still do it very well when you´re old.

[Navarria123]

@heythinkaboutit not exactly, look at jimmy page

[heythinkaboutit]

@Navarria123 Everyone ages differently which depends very much on your lifestyle and also on what you inherit from your ancestors but I saw some fast old drummers and guitarists while you wouldn´t find any very fast runner who is over 60

years old, at least as much as I know.

[Navarria123]

@heythinkaboutit yeah im sure some people have kept there skill but jimmy page has really lost it

[posthastey]

Like those custom shop strap locks DD must have devised. Thanks for sharing.

[usrnaim]

I met him once at a show his son was playing at. Really cool guy.

[VivaVediVicious]

Cool stuff
