JIMMY PAGE _White Summer & Kashmir (acoustic 89)

he seems like genuinely a great guy to hang out with

Wicked!I think Page is the best guitar player ever.

[@lindamarie6574]

i have worshipped him for almost 50 years, met him in 1973 briefly, i was tongue tied, but floored to just meet him in person to say hello. he is fucking awesome, just awesome

[@thebraboman5851]

Is he pretty?

[@lindamarie6574]

@@thebraboman5851 well, he looked a bit sick when i met him

[@interstategar]

He's got to be one of the fastest right hand's on acoustic guitar, and he's playing what sounds to me is related to Indian music. If you like that type of music listen to Ravi Shankar who plays that huge sitar.

[@Sanathvarma]

This man makes me happy

[@georgegood9609]

I just love Jimmy hes my hero If I was dying I would like nothing more then to just sit and talk music, life with him. Then I sit behind a drum kit and we jam to zep songs. The. I'd die with a smile on my face I just respect him and his polite manner. Thank you Mr. Page for all of your contributions to music and life

[@connievuur3123]

Just found this. What a treat.While watching this, I felt as if was peeking through a door some where, where Jimmy was just doing his thing, enjoying time with his acoustic. Back in the day so many people ( fans) fixated on Robert. Robert Plant had his own talent, like Bonzo and Jonesy and definitely was great eye candy. Yet, while knowing absolutely nothing about musicians (lead guitar, base, drums, etc…. other then listening to my 8 years older brother ( a definite Who fan) practicing and playing on his acoustic He had his little sister sit and listen, with head phones, to all of his Who albums. Later I had my dad listen with head phones to the entirety of Pink Floyd, The Wall album and surprisingly to me, as a teenager, appreciated the music. Plus there were specific Led Zeppelin songs he liked and when my mother was not home he allowed me to listen to with out head phones. I listened to the Led Zeppelin albums repeatedly ( especially up to Physical Graffiti…tho all that followed have merit with many special gems, regardless of the issues going on with Page and Bonham at the time) on my head phones …to be able to play as loud as I wanted.( not annoy or anger my parents about what they called “ that” noise and screeching) It was Jimmy’s guitar playing and the riffs that drew me in. While learning from my brother the different guitars being used, with in one song.I was able to hear the music and the mastery of Page and the inter weaving of Jones’s base, in such a different light. Add in the ambiguity of many of Plants lyrics.and John Bonhams unique drumming style and how Page produced the music…..its just magic. I became one of those forever die hard fans of Led Zeppelin and especially Jimmy Page( I cried so hard as a ticket holder in 1980)…..even Plant during his pompous years during the 80s and and was happy to know he understood why and has regrets about those years. If only Jimmy could have done more solo work, without David Coverdale ( not knocking Coverdale, I just think there are different lanes for different people…tho his hairstyle only added fuel to the…..what ever you wanna call it) Although his collaborationS with Plant in the 90’s may have been confusing or misunderstood. by many( tho a few clips I have seen of Jimmy playing with Plant and his new band of younger musicians seemed…well, as if Plant wanted to exert he was too dog…..was his tour…there did not seem to be any camaraderie or the interaction between the lead guitar and singer or any of what you expect between a singer and a lead guitarist) If only the future generations understood, there is sooo much more to Led Zeppelin then Stairway to Heaven! Jimmy Pages talent and his passion about the guitar, about the music to me , always has been and always will be a joy to listen to. Even though I still know absolutely nothing about playing a guitar.

[@patricehubert374]

this guy is as creative with acoustic as he is with electric. What sets him apart from other guitar heroes is that he is able to tackle different styles with the same talent, blues, rock, folk, world music etc. Unique

[@victorcintra1809]

he is not missing notes, he's doing harmonics. in the accoustic guitar harmonics produce a very low sound that was not capitate by the camera

[@silkcustoms520]

Victor Cintra Who said he was ?

[@mr.yellowstrat3352]

No... He was missing notes. He didn't play as much in '89 as he used to. His hands simply weren't as strong on the hammer ons. Besides he used to play white summer on the danelectro with light strings. Acoustics are harder to play especially if you've been out of it for a decade like he was here. With all that said he's still a fuckin' wizard 🧙🏻‍♂️

[@roland6663]

I'd argue his hammer ons at the start aren't going through. I've only seen him play white summer on the electric. Acoustic hammer ons are a bitch.

[@owenwright1235]

This is sloppy as hell. Has nothing to do with harmonics.

Page plays with such emotion and abandon.

[@NytronX]

Those are the two perfect verbs to describe his playing style.

[@PooleyX]

Really? He sounds totally mechanical.

[@pinkled4429]

@@PooleyX probably cause you cannot relate to his emotions. That's what music is basically. Some people cannot relate to something, some can. Someone might prefer David Gilmour's playing. Others might prefer Dimebag Darrell, or Dave Mustaine, or Van Halen. It depends on your taste

Page always plays like that. Like it's always on the verge of completely falling apart. Listen to The Song Remains The Same concert. Willie Nelson is the same way. I THINK it's a deliberate stylistic choice they are making to create a sense of slight chaos.

[@mb13972]

The tuning for "Kashmir" is DADGAD. The actual tuning for "White Summer/Black Mountain Side" is a step lower on each string (C# Ab C# F# Ab C#) but I assume he's using DADGAD for both songs here.

[@VaheTheGreat1]

exactly

[@wildchild01ok]

Actually Black Mountain Side was played in DADGAD, however Jimmy tuned the record a half step down, to sound like a D# G# C# F# A# D#.

Jimmibpage é un grande

[@Gallywomack]

The first thing he plays is Davy Graham's version of 'She Moved Through the Fair'

[@Kwarde.]

Or she moved thru' the bizarre/blue raga. And it is not quite Graham's version, Pavlge called it white summer and tweaked it a bit here and there. But indeed he did not write it himself.

His way of speaking and gestures really remind me of Keith Richards in this video...

[@thefoxygrandpa638]

Only that you can actually understand what he's saying unlike kieth

[@blueviolette]

It's his deep voice and laid back manners that resembled Keith to me cause Jimmy usually speaks in a softer and almost shy way. Well I love it whenever he talks anyway.

0:50. His hybrid picking is the secret to all of his impossible licks. That's why so many guitarist get him wrong. They mistakenly call it "sloppy". Wrong. He's hitting many notes. Some softer, some harder. And no. Economy picking won't help you kids. Start over.

[@pinkled4429]

Exactly. Being a single guitar player, he has to add alot to fill the space and add dissonance. I never found him sloppy. Honestly I could listen to his demos and outtakes all day

Ridiculous. This is the best guitarist of our times. The guy is connected to his instrument. Oh, and he can write a few OK tunes.

[@markmace2113]

Is the best just think of how many people he has inspired to play the instrument called the guitar

[@Kwarde.]

The kashmir tune is a rather 'OK' tune indeed, but the white summer tune is actually written by Davy Graham ("She moved thru' the bizarre/blue raga" OR "She moved through the fair"). Davy Graham actually made DADGAD popular

+Nico Pazos Probably Jimmy's all time favorite tuning, if you think of all the songs he's done in that tuning.

[@ghostaccount6570]

Even when he isnt drugged up he will still miss a noye! But I guess that means we are all human.

[@jimmycampbell78]

He did not miss anything. The first pieces are deliberately played in that style. Then Kashmir is on the money. Not sure what you and others are on about. You can find footage on KZbin of Page playing it like this in 1972.

Lol, he didn't touch guitar for a long time after Zep disbanded after Bonham dying, not to mention his trouble with heroin use too. telling the riff master to practice more is just dumb, he did his thing back in the Zeppelin days.

[@jimmycampbell78]

WTF? Maybe I am not a guitar expert but I thought his acoustic playing here was pretty good. The notes he did not hit cleanly were deliberate, it was to get that twangy exotic and folky sound with the tuning. These pieces are played like this.
