fuck all your stupid arguments ^^ so what if he can't read or write music ??? he was and still is one of the most gifted talents on this planet to grab a fuckin' guitar !
Hendrix couldn't read and write and still is respected to be one of the best guitarists ever. there are dudes that just simply can feel music,there's no decription to it. if you feel music inside you,you don't have to read or write it - 'cuz you don't even need it !!!
It's great to be a scholar of the science. But men such as Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughn and some guy named Hendrix face this mystic and challenging practice head on with on their unrefined human intellect. They master the demon of rock and roll, then ride the bastard across the skies set to frie because of their tasty licks and raw power! Beautiful music is written in serenity and in chaos.
@lestmbly I'd be more than happy to troll on something modern and crappy but please stop this bull on Zeppelin stuff. May I redirect you to the top comment? We could use this trolling talent somewhere else where it's actually true.
Me and my colleagues are far better guitar players then Jimmy Page and guess what I also can read and write music..A talent that Jimmy Page has NEVER mastered...
you don't know shit. If Page can't write or read music why was he a studio guitarist before playing in the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin? Maybe he don't do tapping, maybe he's not a shredder, maybe he's not as fast and clean as some other bullshit guitarist, but he's one of the greatest anyway. He has done and bring more to the music than you will ever do in your pathetic and miserable life. So when you'll write something more divine than Stairway you may open your mouth.
@cgnwgs Listen son if u put the notes of Stairway to Heaven on a sheet of music without any indication of the title of the song,Jimmy Page wouldn't recognize it nor would he be able to read n play the notes..
Does JP have a basic understanding of how to put melodies together and create a song? Of course he does,but you don't have to be able to read n write music to do this. Most professional musicians can.
Just cause you're a studio guitarist doesn't mean you can read n write music,fool
@lestmbly Yeah, buddy, that's 'cos he didn't need to look at the instructions to make the fucking thing work. He just figured it out. It's like you're saying Ray Charles was a bad musician because he couldn't see the keys.
@RobertErac Yes I agree with you 100%..Jimmy Page like most rock/blues musicians, knew how to "figure things" out, musically...Don't get me wrong..The songs that JP and Led Zeppelin "figured out" are some of the greatest songs ever recorded in the history of rock..The fact that JP doesn't know how to read or write music doesn't take away from the greatness of his contribution to the music..
@lestmbly jimmy page, before starting led zeppelin, was one of the most sought after studio musicians in britain - not just for rock music, but all genres. being a studio musician means not only being able to read music, but to sit down and perform a composition flawlessly while reading it for the first time. just a small fact check.
@pbmcgann How many times does it take for me to tell you people that JP doesn't write or read music..This is a known fact..Look it up your self. Just cause you are studio musician doesn't mean you can read and write music.. I 'am very much aware of JP's studio background. Studio musicians are able to get along just fine without having this ability..
@lestmbly so it must be a mistake that he is widely regarded as a MASTER of his instrument, and has WRITTEN enduringly beautiful and meaningful songs that transcend generations, and that you are a loser and a troll. only a true DOUCHE would assert that he is better than Jimmy Page. You are truly an ignorant moron. Plus, I'm sure he could in fact play Stairway to Heaven, given the fact that he wrote the song. I'm done. and this kid is a huge faggot.
@lestmbly as a studio musician he had to play song that were not from him, therefore he had to learn by reading the notes. I wonder what kind of music studio would hire a musician that can't even read music. but you can't judge a guitarist only on his knowledge of the "science" of music.
@cgnwgs U fools, u Page worshipers don't know dick about music.It's a known fact that Jimmy Page hasn't a clue of how to read or write music.Most rock musicians never took the time to learn this discipline..Do u think Jimi knew how to read music? Nope.How about Clapton? Nope.How about Richards? Nope.Van Halen? Nope.Townshend? Nope.How bout Beck? Nope.How bout Vaughn? Nope.Most rock musicians don't.They're able to create music because they do understand BASIC RULES of musical structure.
U Page worshipers talk about his supposed writing skills.Let me clue u in on a fact about your idol God JP.HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO WRITE.JP has never musically WRITTEN anything in his over-rated guitar playing life.Didn't u Page worshipers know this this? JP doesn't know a quarter note from a quarter rest or a bass clef.Again, ur great JP hasn't a clue on how to WRITE or even READ music.Don't take my word for it.Look it up yourself. So STOP with the JP wrote this n wrote that..He's written dick.
you say that your better and then complain when somebody wants proof, your a hypocrite, and on your comment you said theres nothing mysterious about him, of course there isnt when you know his style or songs, that applies to all artists, even pink floyd doesn't seem strange when you know how he writes. My guess is you've learned all about him and not those other "mysterious artists". Although if you ask me your probably just full of shit
Zep was a great Folk band. And JP is and was one of the best guitarist ever. Course the whole band were exceptional musicians. It is rare that 4 great musicians team up and can play well together. That's why they quit when the greatest drummer, John Henry Bonham, died. Without one the whole couldn't function.
I wish I was born in the mid 50's So I could see these guys live way back in '68. My mom wasn't even born then. Nowadays I hear people blasting crap like nikki minaj and lil wayne. They have nothing on Jimmy Page. And I don't think anyone ever will. EVER. It'll Be a long time till we see some one like him. Music just isn't good anymore. I'm saying this and I was born in 1994.
Ok, wow lots of comments here;) I'd like to say something now if I may; Jimmy Page was a sloppy guitarist live, I agree, but that doesn't take away the fact that he composed music beyond everyone's imagination here on Youtube. His compositions (for instance The Rain Song!) are more powerful then any other songs I've ever heard! And he sure has improved himself over the years. He is not a God to me, but he sure is an Idol to me, and I do believe that none of us will go beyond is musical talent.
@Kelebrain Another way to look at it might be JP had enough whiskey in him at any given time to constitute alcohol poisoning but still managed stuff like this.
@boscoruby Son I'm far from being miserable.If there is anyone who comes off as being miserable it's you. Re-read your last post. Do your words sound as if they were of one whom has a healthy mental attitude grounded in reality? Doesn't sound so to me.You say very stupidly n incoherently.."go to a page like you, say nice things..blah blah blah". Listen inarticulate one, I never said anything that was bad other then return insults directed initially at me.
@jamesmilton243 No one is asking for perfection..But being sloppy and not playing perfectly are two different distinctions...A consistently sloppy player can be annoying, distracting and un-listenable.
@lestmbly God bless America. You're free to be a miserable troll. How many times do you need to be bitchslapped to realize what a miserable bitch you are? Go to a page you like, say nice things, and you might become a worthwhile human being.
@Izepplin01 and lestmbly: What are you even talking about...? Everybody knows that Pagey wasn't perfect while playin live, that's his style. Technique and good music - two different things.
@Izepplin01 Hey dude don't be mad at me.I didn't dig you up and draw you into this debate.You came here at your own volition, remember?You contacted me U FOOL. So if anyone is doing any trolling it is you against me.Would "trolling" be the proper word in this case? Maybe a better word would be "stalking"? I don't know. Hey do me a favor numbnut and consult your "urban dictionary" and find the proper word that fits what you're doing to me. You seem so geeky..geez..You're off the charts son.
@joekickass7701 Yes I agree, he was a better and cutting edge player...His heroin addiction made him lazy which resulted in his sloppiness due his lack of interest in wanting to improve and expand his guitar abilities..Eric and Jeff left him in a cloud of dust during this period..Would you agree?
All I'm simply stating is that I and many whom I know who live in the region where I do, can and have exceeded JP in guitar ability and that it's not a big feat to do so. I didn't say I can write better songs then JP. I didn't say I could produce better LP's then JP. I didn't say I was a better singer then Robert Plant. All I said was I was a better guitar player..BIG DEAL. YOU people need to pull up your socks and stop with the Page Worshiping. He doesn't need it, neither would he want it.
@lestmbly so you're a self-proclaimed better guitar player than JP and there's no posts of your compositions, only your word to go by. Part of being a better guitar player than JP is writing better guitar compositions than him. Put up or shut up. Further, being "better" is completely subjective; by what measure are you "better," besides your solitary and unsupported opinion of yourself?
This guy can talk and stroke his ego all he wants, but his words are just words, unlike JP.
@lzepplin01 Wow,u Page worshipers are trippin'.U must really be a die hard disciple of JP judging from the looks of ur username.Man did I,or did I not bump into a hornets nest.Talk about an agitated state of frenzy.And for what? Simply by stating that JP is overrated and that I feel that I'm a better guitar player then him?Give me a f*ckin' break man..Let me ask? Do u have an alter sitting n the middle of ur living room where u sacrifice goats,sheep,or perhaps an oxen to ur god JP?
@lzepplin01 Nah this is not my purpose here.What is the purpose of Y/tube?I always thought it was another way of communicating with others about a video on any given page.This in essence is all I've done.Just cause u don't agree with what I say doesn't necessarily mean that I'm trolling.Hey I simply stated my opinion.A wise man once said 'opinions are like assholes, everyone has one'. Would u not agree?If u took it as such, u and the others wouldn't be in such a state of frenzy.
@lzepplin01 I'm not gonna produce a video to prove to u or any other JP worshiper that I'm a better guitarist them him.C'mon man,how ridiculous is that?Even if I did n most certainly shown that I was better u'd still deny it.I can't believe u guys,even after saying that I do like n respect JP n LZ.I just don't think JP is and "incredible" LIVE performer.Now it that "riles" u up then u need to take a chill pill son,cause ur perspective on more important things in life is out of whack.
@lestmbly I guess. Sifting through your poor grammar and punctuation, I've basically summed you up to this; I go to a Yankees Red Sox game in Boston. I wear pinstripes and a full Yankee outfit, and start shouting out "Yeah, Papelbon is OK, but I'm way better. The Sox are overrated!" Besides the blatantly obvious that this is most likely far from true, what is the purpose of this statement? To inflame and get reactions.
This is no different than what you do, and is the very definition of troll.
@lzepplin01 Hahaha u talk about shifting..Not only do I have to try n figure out ur muddled incoherent thought pattern n paltry syntax, but ur baseball analogy is off base and isn't even remotely cognate to the subject at hand.U're laughable.Son, u're not as clever as u think you are..You sound confused.
Anyway, you're just a Page worshiper who hasn't a life, who longs for a replay of the 70's, who's pissed off if anyone questions ur god's acumen when it comes to playing the guitar..
@lestmbly If you're to respect that people have opinions, I'd imagine you'd respect that people really, really like JP. Especially on a youtube video of him playing a particularly fantastic solo.
You can hide behind the "I'm better and don't need to prove it" and "hey man everyone has an opinion" garbage lines, but you still just look like some troll @ss hole trying to start sh!t.
What, exactly, are you trying to accomplish here? If you're so much better than JP, you should be making music kiddo
"troll" One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument.
@lzepplin01 I think this guy started out not liking led zeppelin, but then tried to argue his point by making him seem larger than he is. could you let me know if he does put a video up that is something id like to see.
@lzepplin01 i completely agree with you, page is my favorite guitarist of all time and anybody who tries to say they are "better than page" clearly have no idea what they are talking about. However, arguing his writing skills isn't a good tactic on this video because page didnt write this.
Then write it in 1969 with no laptop or tab; its not about "outplaying" anyone... its about the creation of a melody that captures the attention of millions still.
@lestmbly Newly packaged is a good way to put it, inside the box they have their inspiration, outside the box they have their unique wrapping which made them LZ.
@ lestmbly Newly packaged is a good way to put it, inside the box they have their inspiration, outside the box they have their unique wrapping which made them LZ.
I think what you said about Led Zeppelin was, "they are not doing something that wasn't never ever done before" That, sir, is the comment of a buffoon (even without the twisted grammar).
@boscoruby Not that I feel this overbearing need to explain myself to u,but I purposely speak the vernacular of the idiot depending upon whom I'm speaking.Therefore when I 'm tempted n challenged by a fool of whoms intelligence mirrors that of a loathsome slug,I subconsciously dummy down to their level of comprehension n judgment.In other words 'speak the language that a low person like u seem only to understand'.As u can well read "this sir is NOT the comment of a buffoon" Hahaha bye
@lestmbly Yes, my bad.. I didn't realize you were being INTENTIONALLY dumb when you made such comments as "Yes, I'am better than Jimmy Page. Believe me, it's not a hard feat to attain. Locally, my genius is well recognized..." and "Whatever LZ attempts to do believe me they are not doing something that wasn't never ever done before."
I should have known immediately that nobody could be that stupid accidentally.
@boscoruby Haha you not seeing that it was intentional only shows that your skills of discernment and perception normally attributed to that of an adult are, if not woefully underdeveloped, are at the very least lethargic or dormant...WAKE UP FOOL..Try and catch up..geez..ahem'.... "Yes, my bad"....You sho' nuff is one "bad" stupid motherf*cker ain't you...Hahaha, 'cuse my French. Enjoy your day, JackAss
To all you Page worshipers out there..It doesn't take much to outplay Jimmy Page..I myself including many of my cohorts do it all the time..It's no great feat..Again, as I tried to explain to the fool below, (he was first to uses the word genius) my "genius" is well recognized locally.
@lestmbly What kinds of songs have you written? Has millions of people and 2 to 3 generations have heard your work? Don't ever say that you are better than Jimmy Page, He was experimenting with the DADGAD tuning when Zeppelin wrote Kashmir, and when he redid White Summer/Black Mountainside. I am pretty sure Jimmy is better now than he was 40 years ago.
@RichWrightFloyd19 Scroll back on this page and you'll see that Lestmbly has been trolling here for months insulting Jjimmy Page and his fans and claiming to be better than Jimmy Page, without having the courage to post his own playing on his own youtube channel. He's just another internet bullshit troll with nothing useful to contribute to the world. Don't waste your time with him, I've wasted enough of mine. I'm done.
@RichWrightFloyd19 What does what songs that I've written have to do with with guitar ability? This is the simple point I'm only trying to raise..I agree Jimmy and LZ have recorded some of the greatest music that's ever been produced and I do enjoy listening to vast majority of their work. But you guys, especially the knuckle-head below continue to mis-construe what I say about JP and take it personal..I didn't say anything about your mama @boscoruby..geez get a life..
@lestmbly I agree that these rock n roll roots are from much older bands. So if you agree that bands developed their own styles, how can you say Page plays basic? He has his own style and amazing talent seen throughout his LZ career.
@ledzeppelinroyalhall Great point..No matter what Page does to personalize and stylize his music..Believe me his source of inspiration has always been the blues...Every time he solos or what ever LZ attempts to do believe me they are not doing something that wasn't never ever done before...It's all been done, just newly packaged..You dig?
@lestmbly Who combined the blues with english folk music in heavy metal style before Led Zeppelin did? Really, "son", you've embarrassed yourself enough on this page. The great thing about the internet is that you can always go somewhere else where nobody knows what a buffoon you are.
@boscoruby Hahaha you proved my point without even realizing it....What did you just say..."They combined the blues with...."..Hahaha, you seem to put your foot in your mouth every time, don't you numbnut?
@Lestmbly So you're saying the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, The Who... all were basic bands that played basic music?.... well I guess people were just basic back then, and even though JP created his own unique style which got Zepp to #1, is just basic? And you say you can COMPOSE music that isn't just some basic rock? that's bull... If you have some amazing new style lets hear it!
@ledzeppelinroyalhall Of course Lestmbly has an amazing new style, but he's not gonna waste his time proving it to you - you'll just have to take his word for it. lol
@ledzeppelinroyalhall Put it this way if it wasn't for basic American rock n roll/blues there would be no Rolling Stones, Hendrix or The Who.Mick n Keith will proudly tell u this..Where do u think The Rolling Stones got their name from? They got it from a Muddy Water's tune called "Rolling Stone".Of course n later years the music morphed from its basic roots n certain bands began to develop their own styles..But the roots are the blues be it The Stones, Hendrix or The Who. U can not deny this.
@ledzeppelinroyalhall Most popular music that we hear today has it roots in American blues/early rock n roll..All other genres be it grunge, be it reggae, be it metal, be it punk, be it the chick bullshit that we hear today from Gaga to Spears and so forth and so on...Hey, it's all a branch from basic tree or root of American blues/early rock n roll..There's no gettin around it son
@boscoruby Hey what's the latest gossip that Rolling Stone said about Lindsey, Christiana, Jessica, Britney and your idol, Justin Beider..C'mon man tell me, you read Rolling Stone all the time..Hahahaha you should know more then anyone..geez..
@sdkjbvlk Son, why are u so abusive? Hey,don't put me in a category that you place yourself. At least you admit it but please I don't want any parts or want to be associated with anything being as INSIGNIFICANT AS AN ASS.. Thanks,but no thanks.Did I not say JP was good? So what the hell is your problem numbnut? I enjoy sometimes listening to JP also.. We agree more so then we disagree..Get a life jerk. My diction is fine n acceptable..Doesn't matter what I think? Duhhh, this is Y/tube you idiot
@lestmbly I agree that many of these artist were the fathers of rock and roll, but still, rock and roll wasn't basic when Page, Clapton and Beck played in the 60's, and all of these artists continued to make styles of rock that were original. To be an successful artist you have to compose music that is your style.
@lestmbly Unless you and your region buddies are Hendrix come back to life, I'll beleive you can surpass JP once you've wrote and performed music that is noticed in the guitar world as much as Page has. When you say he plays basic stock rock, Zeppelin and a few others were the ones to START rock, so there was nothing BASIC at the time.
@ledzeppelinroyalhall Wrong..Rock which is an amalgamation of both rock n' roll/blues was not started by Jimmy Page and a few others as you so clumsily say..Rock n Roll is an American phenomenon that was later copied by others world wide because of its appeal..Who started rock? Try people like Chuck Berry or some of the early blues artist like Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters and the early Chicago electric blues scene in the mid 40's..This is where rock has its roots and not by way of a Jimmy Page..
@lestmbly Why are you still going? Shut the fuck up. You're some insignificant ass just like the rest of us, and frankly your opinion matters to nobody here except maybe yourself. This argument about whether Jimmy Page is good or not doesn't matter. He's playing guitar and people enjoy listening to it. Why do you think you have the fucking right to shit on them or him? It REALLY doesn't matter if you think he's good. It REALLY doesn't. Also, you have awful diction. Quit.
@lestmbly Why are there no videos of you playing? I know it's impossible for you to be in a group, it would be insane to think that somebody so clever, intelligent, original, and AMAZING at guitar to play with others. You've spent plenty of time giving people shit over this video... So you must be on youtube often.. I'm sure you love to stare at yourself. Also I forgot to mention, to understand rock n' roll you have to do a tad more than wiki it...
@sdkljbvlk Wiki it? In ur dreams son..I'm a rock n roll music historian. I've forgotten more then u currently know about the genre..Son I've been playing guitar for many a year and not only do I talk the talk,I walk the walk.Impossible to be in a group? I've been in and led only 2 groups in my entire musical career which should tell u something right there. I'm not one of these wandering musicians always lookin' for a gig.I know of what I can do and of what I speak..
@lestmbly JP has been ranked 3rd best guitarist by Rolling Stone. I don't care if he's being sloppy or repetitive, listening to Jimmy play for ten minutes is amazing. For example, Kashmir is a very repetitive riff but it became very popular.
I think saying this guitarist and that guitarist are "guitar gods" is purely opinion. And please don't even start saying you're better than Jimmy Page, only a handfull people in the world can even start to say that.
@ledzeppelinroyalhall The mark of a good guitarist is his LIVE performance. Anything can be achieved in the studio whether you're a good guitarist or not..C'mon, Rolling Stone polls are a crock. Who puts credence in such of what has now become a gossip rag..Give me a break..Rolling Stone says JP is 3rd ranked best guitarist EVER? Hahahaha don't make me laugh..I know more then a few dozen guitarist in my region who can match if not surpass JP no problem including me..
@lestmbly You're better than Jimmy Page, huh? Too bad that your genius will never be recognized and you'll live and die in squalid anonymity. I hope you at least have a day job.
@boscouruby Yes I'am better then Jimmy Page..Believe me it's not a hard feat to attain..Locally my genius is well recognized and far from being an anonymous unknown..If only you knew.
@lestmbly Musicianship has more to do with feeling than technical precision. It's not as much about how you say it as what you have to say. If you have as much to say as Jimmy Page then I'll hear you and read about you in Rolling Stone. I'm not holding my breath, because my guess is that you just another blowhard internet ignoramus. You sound foolish making boastful claims about yourself. Let others do the talking. If you have real talent you don't need to blow your own horn, "genius".
@boscoruby U've got it reversed.Technic has more to do with musicianship then does feeling.What good is a feeling if u wouldn't know where to start? It's interesting how JP supporter conveniently bend normal wise sensibilities n practicalities n order to prove their point the JP is the greatest thing since slice bread.Jus cause 1 is a genius musician doesn't automatically mean that he will be heard on the level as a JP.Some undeserving players like JP get breaks n some deserving geniuses don't.
@lestmbly I challenge you to put your fretboard where your computer keyboard is. Don't just claim to be better than Jimmy Page, prove it - upload something. Gimme a laugh, deserving genius.
@boscoruby Dude I wouldn't waste my time or effort just to prove a point to you..Besides even if I out shinned Jimmy Page by 10 fold you wouldn't admit it or neither give me the credit..So what's the point..Ah-ah son, your just gonna have to take my word for it, and I could care less if you did or not...bye now
@boscoruby By the way quit with the Rolling Stone bullcrap..That rag is a joke and you know it...If you said a magazine like DownBeat then I would of given you more respect...Have you ever read DownBeat? Probably not..Now that's a magazine for musicians and readers alike that has far more credibility then the rock/chick/gossip rag known as Rolling Stone..You putting so much credence in that worthless chatter, babble piece of pulp, tells me all that I need to know about you..
@lestmbly By the way, slick, if you're such a genius then you should really post some vids of yourself on your youtube channel. I checked it out and I didn't see any clips of you there. Hey, it worked for Justin Bieber... lol
God this is the reason why I have absolutely no desire to learn music. It seems that the more "knowledgable" one gets the more jaded they become. I'm sorry, but this man sounds absolutely amazing to me, and if learning what a great guitar player really is means taking the joy away, then I'm happy to live in ignorance.
@ssike01 Son, I'm just tryin' to explain a piece of rock n roll history..Don't allow my articulation via the use of the written word offend you..Doing so would only lessen the effect of the lesson intended...Bye...Enjoy your day.
@lestmbly Articulation through the use of words? Is there any other type of articulation? Look up articulation. Really you re not as educated as you d have yourself believe...let alone others. Oh and dont call me son. Get some manners along with an education.
@ssike Not that I feel this strong overbearing desire to have to explain myself to u,but I must say that u are as ill informed n the uses of the English language as u are n the historical development of rock n' roll..U ask very naively n without thought..."is there any OTHER TYPE of articulation through the use of words?" Answer,of course there is. Articulation can come n two forms,either verbal or scriptural,the latter of which I tried to convey when I said.."via the use of the WRITTEN word".
@lestmbly Page consistenly ranks in the top five or three best guitarists of all time. His music and the music of Led Zeppelin reaches people in ways you are evidently too dim-witted to understand - he may have not constantly shredded at 500 mph, which seems to be your definition of a great guitarist, but actually created music, melodies, riffs, etc. that have embedded themselves deep into the history of rock and roll. You can troll if you want, but you're just wrong.
@Sauron012 U say Page ranks n the top 5 or 3 of the best guitarist? Haha, u proved my point exactly.This is why I say dim-wit, that he's over-rated.To me shredding is not an prerequisite to what makes a great guitarist even though it doesn't hurt.Frankly shredding bores me.How u came to that conclusion that,that was my definition of a great guitarist is beyond me.Creating melodies n rifts means NOTHING n as far as guitar technique.Any one can create a riff.All it takes is a little imagination.
@lestmbly creating melodies and riffs is EVERYTHING you ignorant tart...look at some of the best guitarists in the world...look at why there remembered...i bet you an entire paycheck that the first thing you think of when you think of these guitarists is the songs which they created....whats behind any great song? great riffs and melodies...words of course play a very important part as well. but its the notes behind those words that makes the song lol riffs are the reason people play guitar
@TheManiac Anybody can put a couple of notes or chords together n come up with a riff, Fart-tard, I do it all the time...It's just that some riffs r more remembered then others..Yes Page's riffs are memorable but one doesn't have to be a Jimmy Page to come up with a cool, groovy and exciting guitar riff..You get my point, numb-nut? Nor does one have to be a guitar-god like ur over-rated Lord n Savior Jimmy Page. Riffs are the reason people play?Haha I can think of at least a dozen others.
@meriojajaja If is you who is ignorant and know nothing about guitar playing if not knowing how to string a few notes or chords together to come up with a riff..The novice of improvisers can do it without even thinking about it..
@lestmbly anyone can create a riff, but you have to realize that to write a riff like that you'd have to know exactly what your doing, you would spend hundreds hours playing just to be able to write something like that much less at the speed and precision
@hick109 Haha I laugh at you. Write a riff? Jimmy Page as most rock musician can't write or read music..Didn't know that did you? Well you know now..But don't take my word for it, look it up for yourself..I can tell by the way you speak about music that you haven't a clue of what you're talking about..Spend hundreds of hours? Huh? Like I said and believe me when I tell you, you can create a riff without even thinking about it..Most come back accident by just f*ckin' around..
@lestmbly lol dude your wrong, Jimmy knew exactly how to read and write music, he was a session musician before he was in Zeppelin so knew exactly how to read and write. Granted he's not "the best" guitar player, but he's a damn good one at that. Sure all he mainly wrote were riffs but he still wrote plenty of composed non-improvised shit like The Rain Song, most of LZ3 and pretty much all of the acoustic stuff. Not trying to get all mad or make you mad i'm just saying lol.
@tripletmeista Dude u're wrong..Jimmy Page like must rock musicians do not know how to read nor write music.He himself attest to this fact.True he was a session musician.That doesn't mean u have to know how to read n write to be one.C'mon man,quit making JP into something that he is not.Hendrix's didn't know how to write music as did the Beatles when they were together.They did have a basic understanding of music structure n harmony,but the writing n reading of notes on a page?Most hadn't a clue
@tripletmeista A good guitarist is someone who can hold ones attention.With knowledge n understanding of his instrument as if it were another appendage,as if a arm or a leg, who can squeeze any note or feeling from his instrument as if were 2nd nature without thought.One needs not know how to read or write to be a good guitarist.All he needs to do is have the ability to convey a feeling that comes to mind at any given time n get the point across.That to me is the definition of a good guitarist
@tripletmeista To me Jimmy Page to me falls woefully short in my opinion..He is inconsistent..Consistency in LIVE performance is the mark of a great guitarist. JP tends to be sloppy n falls into bad habits at times without the where-with-all or knowledge to get himself out..This solo n this video is a good example..It may seem to the novice that he's doing a lot of things, but to those who know it obvious that he's caught in a rut tryin' to figure a way out..It's at times laughable.
@lestmbly I like your rebuttal, and it makes a lot of sense. I mean honestly it doesn't affect my opinion towards Page, but I see where you're coming from. So I'm guessing you like people more like John Frusciante who really pour all of their emotion into the notes they play and the songs they write, I love guitarists like that too but when I listen to Zeppelin I'm not really wanting to be moved emotionally or anything, I just want to hear some good improvisation and they're hardcore riffs.
@tripletmeista Don't get me wrong.I love Led Zep's music.They are a very exciting band n one of the best that have EVER hit the stage.Jimmy Page is a good n adequate guitarist.But giving him the status of that of a "guitar god"? To me he is not.
Let me end by saying this..Like I said, I love Zep's music in much the same way I love Nirvana's music.But that's not to say that I'm wowed by Curt Cobain's guitar playing..Well I feel the same way about Page's playing in respect to Zep. Understand?
@lestmbly Yea I understand completely, haha I think it's funny how instead of asking for your opinion on things everyone referred to you as a troll for stating something that's true. Jimmy Page is no guitar god, not even at the height of his career which is long over with.
@lestmbly a session musician has to be damn good at hearing a song and playing exactly what they hear. and to good be enough to not only be a session guitarist but to also be able to keep it up six days a week you would have to be damn good guitarist (i bet he also did this for atleast a couple years not a few days). That much playing im sure he understood music theory very, he might not've been able to explain it but he probably knew a lot of it from repition
@hick109 Did I not say that JP was a good and adequate player..One does not need to be a so-called guitar god to be a session player..Hey c'mon man, quit trying to convince yourself with the 6 day a-week bullcrap. Obviously as a worshiper you're giving the man far to much credit for his guitar abilities. Of course JP understood basic rudiments of rock/pop music and theory..And yes the greatest tool to ALL musician is repetition, which is nothing more then essentially playing and practicing.
@lestmbly it is true that i have been greatly influenced by jimmy page. My arguments however, come from experience, i have learned and played enough of his and other musicians songs to be able to know where his abilities lie. the six a weeks bullcrap however came straight from him, however, i honestly doubt he would lie or even exaggerate that. I think he is near or at clapton, that is all i will say, you see that level or you don't
@hick109 (1)Yes JP is a good/adequate player n because of his popularity n volume of work he is extremely influential.I'm not denying this fact. It just that JP is no guitar god.He falls far short of that status.
Let me try n explain a lil' bout JP.After Hendrix died the so-called "who's the best guitarist" critics in the rock/pop realm were n basic agreement that Eric, Jeff n' Jimmy were. Even I could not deny that..But here's what happened..Eric and Jeff continued to progress in guitar...
@hick109 (2) versatility n ability..For some reason JP didn't advance as quickly as he should of compared to his 2 peers..Some say drugs,who knows?The thing is is that JP wasn't as precise n technically solid n the way that Eric n Jeff later became.JP himself admits that he is sloppy..Before Hendrix's death and a lil' bit after JP was cutting edge along with Eric n Jeff..Just look at those old BBC video's.In my opinion he wasn't able or wasn't interested n keeping pace with the others.
this is bad ass i used to get stoned in college and listen to this .. fuckin awesome....and to think he's trippin on Heroin the whole time

you don't know shit. If Page can't write or read music why was he a studio guitarist before playing in the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin? Maybe he don't do tapping, maybe he's not a shredder, maybe he's not as fast and clean as some other bullshit guitarist, but he's one of the greatest anyway. He has done and bring more to the music than you will ever do in your pathetic and miserable life. So when you'll write something more divine than Stairway you may open your mouth.

@cgnwgs Listen son if u put the notes of Stairway to Heaven on a sheet of music without any indication of the title of the song,Jimmy Page wouldn't recognize it nor would he be able to read n play the notes..
Does JP have a basic understanding of how to put melodies together and create a song? Of course he does,but you don't have to be able to read n write music to do this. Most professional musicians can.
Just cause you're a studio guitarist doesn't mean you can read n write music,fool

@RobertErac Yes I agree with you 100%..Jimmy Page like most rock/blues musicians, knew how to "figure things" out, musically...Don't get me wrong..The songs that JP and Led Zeppelin "figured out" are some of the greatest songs ever recorded in the history of rock..The fact that JP doesn't know how to read or write music doesn't take away from the greatness of his contribution to the music..

@lestmbly jimmy page, before starting led zeppelin, was one of the most sought after studio musicians in britain - not just for rock music, but all genres. being a studio musician means not only being able to read music, but to sit down and perform a composition flawlessly while reading it for the first time. just a small fact check.

@lestmbly as a studio musician he had to play song that were not from him, therefore he had to learn by reading the notes. I wonder what kind of music studio would hire a musician that can't even read music. but you can't judge a guitarist only on his knowledge of the "science" of music.

Nope.How about Clapton? Nope.How about Richards? Nope.Van Halen? Nope.Townshend? Nope.How bout Beck? Nope.How bout Vaughn?

Zep was a great Folk band. And JP is and was one of the best guitarist ever. Course the whole band were exceptional musicians. It is rare that 4 great musicians team up and can play well together. That's why they quit when the greatest drummer, John Henry Bonham, died. Without one the whole couldn't function.

Ok, wow lots of comments here;) I'd like to say something now if I may; Jimmy Page was a sloppy guitarist live, I agree, but that doesn't take away the fact that he composed music beyond everyone's imagination here on Youtube. His compositions (for instance The Rain Song!) are more powerful then any other songs I've ever heard! And he sure has improved himself over the years. He is not a God to me, but he sure is an Idol to me, and I do believe that none of us will go beyond is musical talent.

All I said was I was a better guitar player..BIG DEAL. YOU people need to pull up your socks and stop with the Page Worshiping. He doesn't need it, neither would he want it.
lestmbly 1 month ago
@lestmbly so you're a self-proclaimed better guitar player than JP and there's no posts of your compositions, only your word to go by. Part of being a better guitar player than JP is writing better guitar compositions than him. Put up or shut up. Further, being "better" is completely subjective; by what measure are you "better," besides your solitary and unsupported opinion of yourself?
This guy can talk and stroke his ego all he wants, but his words are just words, unlike JP.

@lestmbly I agree that many of these artist were the fathers of rock and roll, but still, rock and roll wasn't basic when Page, Clapton and Beck played in the 60's, and all of these artists continued to make styles of rock that were original. To be an successful artist you have to compose music that is your style.

@lestmbly Unless you and your region buddies are Hendrix come back to life, I'll beleive you can surpass JP once you've wrote and performed music that is noticed in the guitar world as much as Page has. When you say he plays basic stock rock, Zeppelin and a few others were the ones to START rock, so there was nothing BASIC at the time.

@ledzeppelinroyalhall Wrong..Rock which is an amalgamation of both rock n' roll/blues was not started by Jimmy Page and a few others as you so clumsily say..Rock n Roll is an American phenomenon that was later copied by others world wide because of its appeal..Who started rock? Try people like Chuck Berry or some of the early blues artist like Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters and the early Chicago electric blues scene in the mid 40's..This is where rock has its roots and not by way of a Jimmy Page..

@lestmbly Why are you still going? Shut the fuck up. You're some insignificant ass just like the rest of us, and frankly your opinion matters to nobody here except maybe yourself. This argument about whether Jimmy Page is good or not doesn't matter. He's playing guitar and people enjoy listening to it. Why do you think you have the fucking right to shit on them or him? It REALLY doesn't matter if you think he's good. It REALLY doesn't. Also, you have awful diction. Quit.

I know it's impossible for you to be in a group, it would be insane to think that somebody so clever, intelligent, original, and AMAZING at guitar to play with others. You've spent plenty of time giving people shit over this video... So you must be on youtube often.. I'm sure you love to stare at yourself.

@lestmbly JP has been ranked 3rd best guitarist by Rolling Stone. I don't care if he's being sloppy or repetitive, listening to Jimmy play for ten minutes is amazing. For example, Kashmir is a very repetitive riff but it became very popular.
I think saying this guitarist and that guitarist are "guitar gods" is purely opinion. And please don't even start saying you're better than Jimmy Page, only a handfull people in the world can even start to say that.

@lestmbly Musicianship has more to do with feeling than technical precision. It's not as much about how you say it as what you have to say. If you have as much to say as Jimmy Page then I'll hear you and read about you in Rolling Stone. I'm not holding my breath, because my guess is that you just another blowhard internet ignoramus. You sound foolish making boastful claims about yourself. Let others do the talking. If you have real talent you don't need to blow your own horn, "genius".

@boscoruby U've got it reversed.Technic has more to do with musicianship then does feeling.What good is a feeling if u wouldn't know where to start? It's interesting how JP supporter conveniently bend normal wise sensibilities n practicalities n order to prove their point the JP is the greatest thing since slice bread.Jus cause 1 is a genius musician doesn't automatically mean that he will be heard on the level as a JP.Some undeserving players like JP get breaks n some deserving geniuses don't.

God this is the reason why I have absolutely no desire to learn music. It seems that the more "knowledgable" one gets the more jaded they become. I'm sorry, but this man sounds absolutely amazing to me, and if learning what a great guitar player really is means taking the joy away, then I'm happy to live in ignorance.

@ssike Not that I feel this strong overbearing desire to have to explain myself to u,but I must say that u are as ill informed n the uses of the English language as u are n the historical development of rock n' roll..U ask very naively n without thought..."is there any OTHER TYPE of articulation through the use of words?" Answer,of course there is. Articulation can come n two forms,either verbal or scriptural,the latter of which I tried to convey when I said.."via the use of the WRITTEN word".

@lestmbly Page consistenly ranks in the top five or three best guitarists of all time. His music and the music of Led Zeppelin reaches people in ways you are evidently too dim-witted to understand - he may have not constantly shredded at 500 mph, which seems to be your definition of a great guitarist, but actually created music, melodies, riffs, etc. that have embedded themselves deep into the history of rock and roll. You can troll if you want, but you're just wrong.
Sauron012 2 months ago
@Sauron012 U say Page ranks n the top 5 or 3 of the best guitarist? Haha, u proved my point exactly.This is why I say dim-wit, that he's over-rated.To me shredding is not an prerequisite to what makes a great guitarist even though it doesn't hurt.Frankly shredding bores me.How u came to that conclusion that,that was my definition of a great guitarist is beyond me.Creating melodies n rifts means NOTHING n as far as guitar technique.Any one can create a riff.All it takes is a little imagination.

@lestmbly creating melodies and riffs is EVERYTHING you ignorant tart...look at some of the best guitarists in the world...look at why there remembered...i bet you an entire paycheck that the first thing you think of when you think of these guitarists is the songs which they created....whats behind any great song? great riffs and melodies...words of course play a very important part as well. but its the notes behind those words that makes the song lol riffs are the reason people play guitar

@TheManiac Anybody can put a couple of notes or chords together n come up with a riff, Fart-tard, I do it all the time...It's just that some riffs r more remembered then others..Yes Page's riffs are memorable but one doesn't have to be a Jimmy Page to come up with a cool, groovy and exciting guitar riff..You get my point, numb-nut? Nor does one have to be a guitar-god like ur over-rated Lord n Savior Jimmy Page. Riffs are the reason people play?Haha I can think of at least a dozen others.

@lestmbly lol dude your wrong, Jimmy knew exactly how to read and write music, he was a session musician before he was in Zeppelin so knew exactly how to read and write. Granted he's not "the best" guitar player, but he's a damn good one at that. Sure all he mainly wrote were riffs but he still wrote plenty of composed non-improvised shit like The Rain Song, most of LZ3 and pretty much all of the acoustic stuff. Not trying to get all mad or make you mad i'm just saying lol.

@tripletmeista Dude u're wrong..Jimmy Page like must rock musicians do not know how to read nor write music.He himself attest to this fact.True he was a session musician.That doesn't mean u have to know how to read n write to be one.C'mon man,quit making JP into something that he is not.Hendrix's didn't know how to write music as did the Beatles when they were together.They did have a basic understanding of music structure n harmony,but the writing n reading of notes on a page?Most hadn't a clue

@tripletmeista A good guitarist is someone who can hold ones attention.With knowledge n understanding of his instrument as if it were another appendage,as if a arm or a leg, who can squeeze any note or feeling from his instrument as if were 2nd nature without thought.One needs not know how to read or write to be a good guitarist.All he needs to do is have the ability to convey a feeling that comes to mind at any given time n get the point across.That to me is the definition of a good guitarist
lestmbly 2 months ago
@tripletmeista To me Jimmy Page to me falls woefully short in my opinion..He is inconsistent..Consistency in LIVE performance is the mark of a great guitarist. JP tends to be sloppy n falls into bad habits at times without the where-with-all or knowledge to get himself out..This solo n this video is a good example..It may seem to the novice that he's doing a lot of things, but to those who know it obvious that he's caught in a rut tryin' to figure a way out..It's at times laughable.
How's that?
lestmbly 2 months ago
@lestmbly I like your rebuttal, and it makes a lot of sense. I mean honestly it doesn't affect my opinion towards Page, but I see where you're coming from. So I'm guessing you like people more like John Frusciante who really pour all of their emotion into the notes they play and the songs they write, I love guitarists like that too but when I listen to Zeppelin I'm not really wanting to be moved emotionally or anything, I just want to hear some good improvisation and they're hardcore riffs.
tripletmeista 2 months ago
@tripletmeista Don't get me wrong.I love Led Zep's music.They are a very exciting band n one of the best that have EVER hit the stage.Jimmy Page is a good n adequate guitarist.But giving him the status of that of a "guitar god"? To me he is not.
Let me end by saying this..Like I said, I love Zep's music in much the same way I love Nirvana's music.But that's not to say that I'm wowed by Curt Cobain's guitar playing..Well I feel the same way about Page's playing in respect to Zep. Understand?
lestmbly 2 months ago
@lestmbly Yea I understand completely, haha I think it's funny how instead of asking for your opinion on things everyone referred to you as a troll for stating something that's true. Jimmy Page is no guitar god, not even at the height of his career which is long over with.

@lestmbly a session musician has to be damn good at hearing a song and playing exactly what they hear. and to good be enough to not only be a session guitarist but to also be able to keep it up six days a week you would have to be damn good guitarist (i bet he also did this for atleast a couple years not a few days). That much playing im sure he understood music theory very, he might not've been able to explain it but he probably knew a lot of it from repition
hick109 2 months ago
@hick109 Did I not say that JP was a good and adequate player..One does not need to be a so-called guitar god to be a session player..Hey c'mon man, quit trying to convince yourself with the 6 day a-week bullcrap. Obviously as a worshiper you're giving the man far to much credit for his guitar abilities. Of course JP understood basic rudiments of rock/pop music and theory..And yes the greatest tool to ALL musician is repetition, which is nothing more then essentially playing and practicing.
lestmbly 2 months ago
@lestmbly it is true that i have been greatly influenced by jimmy page. My arguments however, come from experience, i have learned and played enough of his and other musicians songs to be able to know where his abilities lie. the six a weeks bullcrap however came straight from him, however, i honestly doubt he would lie or even exaggerate that. I think he is near or at clapton, that is all i will say, you see that level or you don't
hick109 2 months ago
@hick109 (1)Yes JP is a good/adequate player n because of his popularity n volume of work he is extremely influential.I'm not denying this fact. It just that JP is no guitar god.He falls far short of that status.
Let me try n explain a lil' bout JP.After Hendrix died the so-called "who's the best guitarist" critics in the rock/pop realm were n basic agreement that Eric, Jeff n' Jimmy were. Even I could not deny that..But here's what happened..Eric and Jeff continued to progress in guitar...
lestmbly 2 months ago
@hick109 (2) versatility n ability..For some reason JP didn't advance as quickly as he should of compared to his 2 peers..Some say drugs,who knows?The thing is is that JP wasn't as precise n technically solid n the way that Eric n Jeff later became.JP himself admits that he is sloppy..Before Hendrix's death and a lil' bit after JP was cutting edge along with Eric n Jeff..Just look at those old BBC video's.In my opinion he wasn't able or wasn't interested n keeping pace with the others.
