John Paul Jones Interview: Part 2 | ELIXIR Strings

[@phiberoptik232]

One of the best kept secrets of the greatest rock band ever. So underrated too. JPJ is a legend.

[@kenassfktard7362]

And He's a nice Guy as well

[@ledzepptilldeath9597]

I would love to sit down with him an have a long talk about everything he just looks so friendly!!He is my favorite musiscian of all time. I LOVE YOU JNESEY

[@proudhoney4567]

I met him outside a seasick Steve gig for a quick pic and chat. A genuinely lovely guy who took the time to say hello

[@largolegato]

Such a wise and lovely man

[@Joeltaa347]

I will admit here that Jones inspired me to compose more adventerously , and I found out led zeppelin was a much more exciting group because of his fantastic work- so thanks Paul for being like everyone else says the nicest and best hard rock bass player of all time

[@JeannieTarantola-r2k]

The guy made his money and fame still down to earth and seems to get his pleasure from making music with up and comers . Using his money connections and influence in a quiet way. I listened to an interview that was about mandalins. Probably 30 minutes of his love for the instrument and playing anywhere he can in front of 100 people. Every time I come across an interview with him I watch it.

[@jonmichael02302]

John Paul is amazing...... a true living LEGEND!

[@herbertwells8757]

Seems like a very likable guy, someone who'd be great to hang with. I feel the same way about music as he does: it doesn't REALLY matter what kind as long as I'm making it.

[@tomjohnson8439]

From what i ca see on that automatic tuner in the background, John Paul Jones talks mostly in F#/G

[@thomasgary1219]

Jones must've been like the more sober out of the group. His memory is excellent

[@TheHedgehogss]

his reaction when he hit the boom made my day. xD

[@SCOTT-ki3ve]

I just wish he was louder in the mix on the Zepplin stuff. Whenever I listen to those songs I crank the bass

[@phoebehaddock3758]

Haha when he hit the boom his sorry was really high pitched XD He's so nice and you don't always get that with such talented musicians!!

[@SCOTT-ki3ve]

Could you imagine playing a show and having John Paul Jones introduce himself to you!?!

[@r.guardia9107]

That kid probably thought he was being punked!

[@z1inspector]

interesting about how he wrote black dog RIP Ronnie James Dio whose favorite band was Led Zeppelin

[@r.guardia9107]

How can you not like John Paul Jones.

[@z1inspector]

@Jmurray5150 i agree with everything u say about JPJ however, im sure "achilles" was a page creation, i even heard dialog of page explaining the strange idea of the song & JPJ questioning him if it was even possible to put it together due to its complexity. JPJ was just as talented as the other 3,if not the most. NOW THATS AN AMAZING THING to say, concidering who the other 3 are

[@dadoe]

Who keeps watching the tuner in the background?

[@richietaylor9870]

I wasn’t, until I saw this comment. Then I totally lost track of what JPJ was saying, totally absorbed by the bloody thing and had to wind the video back and watch it again! 😂😂

[@SCOTT-ki3ve]

"I found out they're all Zepplin fans". I wonder if Mr Jones knows how far out of this galaxy he'd have to travel to find people who aren't. Maybe it's better he doesn't know

[@ANGELSVEN]

I just LOVE him. He seems so kind. Now, what gage strings does he use? Does anyone know? Thank you!

[@fancyfripouille]

@ElixirStringsMedia i think JPJ is the best bass player ever. he can really groove in his own way and still sound AWESOME.

[@jupiterlegrand4817]

Did it ever occur to anyone how much JPJ resembles Aleister Simms, esp. in A Christmas Carol?

[@BreakingWavesBand]

A Legend, Genius & all round great guy!

[@p0llenp0ny]

Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@guitarplayer30001]

john paul jones is an advocate of edm

[@DiazdelVivar]

blues, classical, rock... whatever!! He's the one!!! By the way what year is this interview??

[@michaelkemp327]

JPJ. Led Zeppelins not so secret weapon. Guy gives Jimmy Page lessons 😁

[@z1inspector]

@iloverush123 well,pagey wrote plenty of the kewl ones also, but yea,im still just understanding how much of a BIGGER factor he was in zep! he was like a secret weapon zep had on top of already out talenting ALL bands out there already /love rush too

[@iloverush123]

@z1inspector JPJ wrote all the cool songs, all the very intricate ones.

[@davidnorris7287]

Someone who knows, PLEASE explain that notation he talks about at 2:15 for black dog I’m so curious

[@Nileppez]

My first thought was that 1-7 equal the notes so in the key of C: 1 =C, 2=D, 3=E, etc. Key of E: 1=E, 2=F, etc. If the note is sharp, use + and if it's flat use - So in the key of A major an F sharp (6th in the A major scale) would be 6+. I don't know if this is right though because in the key of A the F is always sharp unless otherwise notated. Same goes with C and G. I won't explain the Circle of Fifths and all that because I'm assuming you're already familiar... That is if you even see this 9 months later. An easier way to do what JPJ is talking about which would make more sense if this system was for riffs/lines like in Black Dog would be to forget about the key altogether. Then C {I'm assuming) always = 1 and D always = 2 etc. C sharp would = C+ and D flat would = D-. Major Keys: C [No sharps or flats] G D A E B F+ C+ [1 - 7 sharps G = 1 & C+ = 7] F B- E- A- D- G- C- [1 - 7 flats F = 1 & C- = 7] I hope that makes sense. It's a pretty bad explanation of two possibilities, both of which are most likely wrong, but you've got me curious now so if I find out a definitive answer then I'll edit my reply.

[@davidnorris7287]

@@Nileppez dude, you're my Lord and savior. Ive been itching for this forever!!! Thanks so much man I love it!!

[@davidnorris7287]

@@Nileppez ps, I got the circle of 5ths you're all good

[@raffaberg521]

Nice

[@RG3EXFM1IBANEZ]

Elixir I hate You. LOL Oh man he is right if you are sticking it isn't working. I have used DHS, Ernie Balls, Martins. Then I bought a set of Elixir acoustic strings. Well now I am a Elixir customer I am glad they last awhile because they are expensive but worth every penny. And John Paul Jones yeah my reason for starting guitar Bass first then on to Guitar. It's been a journey I am glad I took on.

[@bobdoles123]

thats how i write songs with others

[@m42037]

Disc? Some of us like Analog better. I guess that's why vinyl is back. Some musicians are still stuck in the 90s with all due respect of jpj of course.

[@dougmphilly]

if fripp was looking for a post "red" pre math rock "discipline" bassist for king crimson, john paul jones would had been my choice.

[@ginseng1550]

once Plant and Page go .. i'll have nothing else to live for.. but when JPJ goes... i'll literally kill myself with my bass

[@ReyAce00]

Amen brother

[@affable.pebble]

bruh

[@z1inspector]

@Jmurray5150 ha ha ha ha,thats the story im talking about, BOY, well u see i rememberd it in my own silly way, i think yours is closer to the fact, MAN, pretty neat =no such scale, then page rewriting the laws of music scales so to speak !!! buy creating scales that dont even exhist "since the creation of music" BAD ASS ! who does that

[@petefunk100]

i get that your pushin elixir strings but did you have to play the same shit in two separate videos? i guess you did...

[@Nileppez]

PARTS 1-3 ARE ALL THE SAME! THE SEGMENTS ARE JUST SWITCHED AROUND.
