Members kayd_mon Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just to play the notes? Intermediate, I'd say. To play them with the proper feeling is something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members faberbz Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 Playing it for yourself is one thing; playing it in a guitar shop is another; gigging it and making the whole room feel it is something else entirely. Like anything, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted January 28, 2011 Moderators Share Posted January 28, 2011 You know, when Page is playing like this, Clapton and Beck become superfluous, and it's not often you get a chance to say that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members straycat113 Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 Great clip and playing by Page. For everyone that likes to put the slop knock on Jimmy of which I have also seen him get a bit sloppy at times. I really contribute it to him wearing his guitar below his balls that makes it really difficult to play that he would wear it so low he could not bar an F chord. Anytime you see him play like this with the guitar at a proper height or sitting you will never hear any of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaleH Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 You know, when Page is playing like this, Clapton and Beck become superfluous, and it's not often you get a chance to say that He ripped them one that time. Just having those two on stage with him pushed him I think. A lot of history behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members onelife Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 Play it at whatever level you want or feel comfortable He gets it going about five and a half minutes in but it's best if you watch the whole thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seven58 Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 I remember as a kid when I saw this solo as tab. I expected magical note combinations that I could never imagine. I thought to myself, that is just pentatonic. I was young. Yes it is pentatonic, but so much more. The choice of each note, the bends, every nuance in that solo makes it one of the best imho. The fingering isn't terribly hard. Playing it with feeling takes more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members linthat22 Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 I remember a few long threads ago when this clip was offered up as to how high Page was and how crappy his playing was with a lot of people on here giving their "HERE HERE!!!"

Members guitarman3001 Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'd say this version right here is a beginner level. Someone who's been playing about 3 months should be able to play this pretty easily. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tqSeSJqu0U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Buttcrust Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 Saw him at the Worcester Centrum, about 20 years ago. At the time I thought was very cool and he (IMHO) was not high. I still think I was pretty fortunate seeing him actually playing the whole thing by himself. Robert Plant played the next night with his band, and was in the audience, watching. I enjoyed both shows. He can make that double neck sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aenemated Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 intermediate. it's not that hard with some work. it's a brilliantly written solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willyguitar Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 It's probably of average difficulty... for the most part fine, but some bits difficult to pull off well: some biggish bends that need to be done carefully and the fast pull-off bit at the end - getting it even and at the right tempo is one of the hardest bits.

Members straycat113 Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 The scale used for the song is A Natural Minor though on the studio version he really just adds the note F to the scale, but he places it perfectly as you can hear on the first run of the solo it is the last note. On the live versions he improvs with the whole scale throwing the B in their too. How {censored}ing great is Greg Koch, chops from hell with a sense of humor to match.
