Whoever found this, thanks a lot for putting this up. I think it's just great and I don't know why anyone would have anything negative to say after having watched this. I mean, I can't play like that.
@MrXAVIERDB Oddly his acoustic playing is often very clean while his electric playing is sloppy. How is that even possible? Every other person on earth is usually the opposite.
@bogdan4550 big deal there all great guitarists they guys but so are jeff beck and jimmy page there all good at what they do there is no best guitarist
this is exactly why jimmy page stands alone amongst any guitar "god " you can think of. everybody else needs to be plugged in to have their sound . page gets as heavy as any body on an electric but can write / play acoustic like a mother also .............
As a guitarist Jimmy Page may not be the "best" technically when compared to some of the wizards out there, certainly folks like Eric Johnson, Neal Schon, Steve Howe, etc... can play circles around him at his peak... BUT, he sure IS CERTAINLY one of the most creative of all time in creating musical soundscapes to take you to new places. All in all: a treasured and brilliant VERY unique musician.
this is white summer black mountainside....there's the proper live version in better quality on youtube....all u guys saying he cant play eastern music can suck it....he is one of the few musicians who has successfully incorporated so many different kinds of music into rock and roll....u cant expect him to play like sitar maestros and if u think i dont know what eastern music is all about i m from india and i have learned the tabla for a few years...so i know what i m talking about...
@RockerForLife74 Page is my favorite because of his use of odd tunings, odd meter and rocking riffs, but I'm sure Page would even say there are better players than he is.
@guitarconasor Joe Satriani is not one of them. I'd say Jimi Hendrix is arguably better than Page, but there is evidence that Page is better than Hendrix. I'd say Page is the best guitarist to ever live because of how good he was at his peak. Hendrix didn't live long enough to set a bar Page couldn't pass. In 1972, Page passed Hendrix in How the West was Won. The heroin fucked him up, and he could of easily died from many things that involve heroin use, but Page is alive and the best.
@SuperRosomak I agree he's very talented and smart as well to form the greatest rock band the world has ever seen. It's very interesting to see four guys on stage who look and and sound like gods on stage. Led Zeppelin is a one of a kind band, and more and more people are now realizing how awesome they are. Good job Jimmy! And good job to Led Zeppelin as well!
This is a traditional song but apparently Page did borrowed this version from Bert Jansch. though Page has added an eastern arabic indian feeling to the song witch makes it feel quite different.
I don't like some of Page's guitar solos but when it comes to playing the Rhythm guitar I think he really is a genius.
The reality is, none of the (few) songs that page/plant sampled from would ever even have been known about outside of an eclectic uber subculture of diehard fans of said artists had Zeppelin not made them popular. Its a standard case of someone "inventing" something, failing miserably, then when someone else comes along and tries to pay some tribute to something that influenced them, suddenly they're plagiarists. Led Zeppelin will *always* be the greatest rock band.
@SCROGY I couldn't agree with you more. Hats off to you Kutark for one of the best comments I've ever read regarding Led Zeppelin /Jimmy Page as rip off artists or plagiarists! I think it might be fair to add that had LZ not attained the success and fame that they did..............you wouldn't have heard much at all about them being plagiarists?
@gar669 Word. Everybody steals something. It's weather or not you steal it and put your own mark on it and make it different or just plain take credit for it when it's not yours. Two different things all together.
@SCROGY very good point. perhaps Leslie West said it best when he confessed to stealing a bit of Whole Lotta Love for Mississippi Queen............" it's all a matter of how well you hide it!"
This is utter S***T! He;s playing note for note Davey Graham. Maybe it's a homage? I doubt it. What a fraud. Anything for the the money. "it's a shit business" as they say,
Why does it have to to be 'fraud'? Why cant it just be that Page was inspired by other great guitarists of his time. It seems to me that while you gripe about it all being about the money; the basis of your argument is about money. After all, plagiarism and copyright infringement didn't really come along until people started making money off of music. Before that, having another artist perform your tune was desirable, it meant it was being passed on. Music is meaningless unless its heard.
@bpitsenb - Fair points, it's true. But in the folky world, you're meant to introduce the song by saying "now I'm going to play Bert Jansch's version of whatever"; it's giving acknowledgement . I've never heard of Page giving due credit - I could be wrong about this; maybe he did. But the fact that everyone thinks he invented all these riffs himself suggests he didn't. I love Page's guitar playing. It's just that I don't think it's original.
@rapperfrgman I agree with you on that. He definitely should have given credit; if only out of respect for his fellow artists. It just annoys me that whenever this debate comes up, it tends to be framed in such a way to make it look like a slimy business deal. I just don't think this was the case. I realize that my previous comment about it being about music is an antiquated take on the situation. It was the only way I could think of to illustrate my point without sounding hostile.
@bpitsenb I think you're right - I was wrong to weight in on the money side of it (I try to imagine Page at the proverbial record company meeting, persuading fat cat businessmen that he can make a killing by plagiarising some fingerpicking ragas mixed with obscure English folk tunes... and I can't exactly see dollar signs ringing up in everyone's eyes like a cash register).
@TruthAxe well first off i can assure you that your not the first asshole on youtube who used that very clever pseudonym of my name, second thats homophobic when you use that as an insult, and third jansche's arrangement was the first recorded version of the song so neither you or i can know how the song is traditionally arranged
Again Jummy always does somthing differnt in his playing I can't put my finger on it but it's like he breaks the rules or slants somthing? Always some note that should be there but there it us.. It's a flat or dark thing he always does. Like a mystical note that always hangs or accents overtones or somthing aaaaaah!..lol does anyone elses get this or am I nuts.. Not just this tune but all his stuff.. A subtle sound that is his.
I definitly understand what you mean. its that dark subtle feeling. So you´re not nuts. Or we both are... Lets just thanks Jimmy for such great music!
I believe the guitar us a "pre war" J200(Jumbo) explaining the redish burst. The pre war Jumbos were Brazilian Rosewood unlike the Maples that came later.. I would say that I heard a combo of blugrass and Spanish folk classical(Witch he studied) as a youngster. The "eastern flavor" u hear us I feel is that "dark" magical thang that is tipical Jimmy Page.
Anyone know what type of guitar he is playing, and it's hard to tell with the video quality, is this nylon or steel string? It looks to be dreadnought but the make I am not sure.
A complete RIP OFF of Davy Graham's arrangement of 'She Moves Through The Fair' & Bert Jansch's arrangement of 'Black Water Side', and no credit given to either. Don't get me wrong, I love Page's work and Zep are one of my fav bands but I hate it when people steal and give no credit.
The tuning is not normal during the whole song I think. But the thing you're talking about is that he is deffinitly playing on harmonics there in the 12th fret.
It is plausible,but I am trying to find some proof. Supposedly, Mickie Most had a J-200 which Beck mentions on the 'Truth' album cover that someone in a Gibson forum claimed to have used-a natural/blonde finish exactly like Elvis's-the one Jimmy is playing here is in the faded cherry sunburst-more unusual because of the pronounced 'red' color as opposed to the brown-burst color more common on most sunburst J-200's-the tone here does sound simliar to the Little Games and Zep 1 tone to me...
Internet legend has it that this is the J-200 used to record the first album that he borrowed from Big Jim Sullivan-any hardcore Zeppelin obsessives have any proof that this is THE guitar?
electric id say sometimes sounds better than acoustic but acoustic is so much harder than electric thats how you can tell good guitar players from bad ones
actually, you have to be much more accurate with an acoustic guitar, cause you don't have any of the bells and whistles of electricity like distortion and such like. I find it much harder because the strings are thicker, and harder to press down and slide and all that stuff.
@xKinseh they should be equally well to play, if you have good instruments. i have a very high quality 2003 Gibson SG electric, and an incredible 2005 Taylor 614ce. both outstanding guitars. so the difference in playability lies in the strings. i always use Ernie Ball light gauges, for the perfect combo of playability, sound, and how long they last
@jambi111 I disagree. I can tell you that to put on a 2 or 3 hour show and play well with an acoustic rather than electric is far more challenging both mentally and physically. To say you need to be more accurate on the electric is, well, inaccurate. Inaccuracy sounds equally bad on both. Good electric players are a dime a dozen, good acoustic players far less common. There are far more techniques to rely on with electric.
@jambi111 i play guitar and uhh i gotta disagree with that, there is much more ways to cover up mess ups on an electric, and the strings are easy to hit down, but i mean if you think that it is easier for yourself then thats totally cool, but id say acoustic is harder because you cant bend strings that easily, if you mess up everyone hears it, you gotta be in tune all the time, and most of all you dont have any distortion of affects to make you sound better
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
listen to davey graham's 'she moved through the fair'. Genius jimmy doesn't sound so original then although he is good at copying the style of other people
Here's the history of the song. Annie Briggs (folk singer) did the version Blackwater Side, Bert Jansch redid and made the guitar playing more intricate, Page came along(influenced by Bert) and came up with White Summer(with the Yardbirds) and then did his version called Black Mountain Side, same theme as Jansch's but also added new parts, hence the new name. Everybody lifted from somebody but they all sound different. cheers
ooh jimmy you big showoff. i think the poor quality tape adds to the atmosphere,sounds a bit alastair crowley! god bless dadgad. whats this, on blue peter?
The truth, I believe, is that Bert Jansch's "Black Water Side" preceded Jimmy Page's "Black Mountain Side. It's encouraging to hear that Mr. Page acknowleges Mr. Jansch's influence on him.
i see you are a jeff beck fan yourself. jeff and jimmy were good friends the gave each others guitars. jimmy gave beck his bolero and beck gave page a telecaster. But he wrote this with the yardbirds and later led zeppelin. He is not a rip off
Yes, but even Bert Jansch didn't write it. And Jimmy Page didn't copy Jansch's style. It would be more correct to say that he was very much inspired by it, and his version should be considered a homage, not a rip off.
Whoever found this, thanks a lot for putting this up. I think it's just great and I don't know why anyone would have anything negative to say after having watched this. I mean, I can't play like that.

The worst act, tho, is how Page stole many songs outright from others and passed them off as his own.
Thankfully, after years of legal wrangling, some of the artists whom Page ripped off were compensated.

electric id say sometimes sounds better than acoustic but acoustic is so much harder than electric thats how you can tell good guitar players from bad ones

that is very true what you say. I have always felt the same way... the acoustict is how you know when they are great!...

@orangetransformer not true, electric is a harder instrument, as you really need to be more accurate with it.You dont play guitar do you?
jambi111 1 year ago
@jambi111
actually, you have to be much more accurate with an acoustic guitar, cause you don't have any of the bells and whistles of electricity like distortion and such like. I find it much harder because the strings are thicker, and harder to press down and slide and all that stuff.

@xKinseh they should be equally well to play, if you have good instruments. i have a very high quality 2003 Gibson SG electric, and an incredible 2005 Taylor 614ce. both outstanding guitars. so the difference in playability lies in the strings. i always use Ernie Ball light gauges, for the perfect combo of playability, sound, and how long they last

@jambi111 I disagree. I can tell you that to put on a 2 or 3 hour show and play well with an acoustic rather than electric is far more challenging both mentally and physically. To say you need to be more accurate on the electric is, well, inaccurate. Inaccuracy sounds equally bad on both. Good electric players are a dime a dozen, good acoustic players far less common. There are far more techniques to rely on with electric.
And yes, Ive been playing both for 25 years.

@jambi111 i play guitar and uhh i gotta disagree with that, there is much more ways to cover up mess ups on an electric, and the strings are easy to hit down, but i mean if you think that it is easier for yourself then thats totally cool, but id say acoustic is harder because you cant bend strings that easily, if you mess up everyone hears it, you gotta be in tune all the time, and most of all you dont have any distortion of affects to make you sound better

To me, that noise sounds like poor audio quality. I've noticed this tends to happen a lot with videos from the 60's, I like the sound though...

Here's the history of the song. Annie Briggs (folk singer) did the version Blackwater Side, Bert Jansch redid and made the guitar playing more intricate, Page came along(influenced by Bert) and came up with White Summer(with the Yardbirds) and then did his version called Black Mountain Side, same theme as Jansch's but also added new parts, hence the new name. Everybody lifted from somebody but they all sound different. cheers
skyemozart 2 years ago
actually, Davey Graham is the author of "White Summer," so essentially Page combined Graham's and Jansch's songs into one.

Bert Jansch "Black Waterside
poohcytoo 2 years ago
ooh jimmy you big showoff. i think the poor quality tape adds to the atmosphere,sounds a bit alastair crowley! god bless dadgad. whats this, on blue peter?
chejacko 2 years ago
The truth, I believe, is that Bert Jansch's "Black Water Side" preceded Jimmy Page's "Black Mountain Side. It's encouraging to hear that Mr. Page acknowleges Mr. Jansch's influence on him.

Just another in a long line of jimmy page rip off's, Sorry for all you Page wannabe's but that is all he ever was.
boseboyz 2 years ago
i see you are a jeff beck fan yourself. jeff and jimmy were good friends the gave each others guitars. jimmy gave beck his bolero and beck gave page a telecaster. But he wrote this with the yardbirds and later led zeppelin. He is not a rip off

Jimmy didn't write this song. Its basically taken from a Bert Jansch song called black waterside.
SocBtf 2 years ago
Yes, but even Bert Jansch didn't write it. And Jimmy Page didn't copy Jansch's style. It would be more correct to say that he was very much inspired by it, and his version should be considered a homage, not a rip off.

Jimmy admittedly said that he was inspired by Jansch.

Many people don't realize this was a cover of a Bert Jansch song just like many other songs that Jimmy Page covered. It's a very beautiful though!
