@@adrianmaestro9912 tell us your thoughts on how bad Jimi Hendrix technique was. Maybe if there's time you can explain how Michael Jordan was a sloppy basketball player and how Willy Mays was overrated... You're an idiot kid.
This one is my favorite scene from the movie. When I rewatch this clip, I always have big smile on my face, when he changes to the bridge pickup. His explanations are matching the scene perfectly.
Ive seen Page live 6 times and I am telling you there is nothing in the world like hearing him jam for atleast 2hrs at a time!!! He truly is legendary...to say the least.
It’s because he’s being himself. Hes not trying to be cool nor cares to be cool. He’s just in his element, doing what he is passionate about. When someone is in their element, and I mean anyone , their aura glows and their charisma shines.
I disagree. old les pauls just "have that sound" as pickups and wood age they get almost a supernatural sound. that's why old les pauls are so coveted. jimmy would NOT sound the same on a $500 guitar.
Imagine just picking up a guitar one day just to learn as a hobby, and then eventually writing riffs that are instantly recognizable and have lasted for decades . It’s truly beautiful the way some people’s minds work.
That little lead lick on the G string makes a really good chord progression so much tastier. Nobody, and I do mean nobody can put a riff together like Page. He is THE riff master. He has so many licks, that are very very recognizable to a whole lot of people. 🤘🏽
The guitar part on Ramble on, in the verses, is one of the most peaceful and calming things you could ever hear Then when the chorus hits, it takes your head off.
The man, a legend, goes into his room full of treasures from 50 years past to close his eyes and play the parts of songs that rocked with world. It's a beautiful thing knowing this exists for future generations to see and hear long after he's gone. Many will appreciate the skill and creativity and attempt to mimic.
He understood early on that hitting certain frequencies does more for getting a massive guitar sound than saturating it with a lot of gain. It’s hitting so many frequencies while just barely compressing and so it sounds huge. That’s also why the rolled off neck pickup still sounds full even though he isn’t giving much signal to the amp. This little clip is such a good lesson in guitar tone.
It's worth noting the immaculate sustain of his '59 les paul. The clarity of the pickups are unmatched. You can dial the gain all the way down and have this extremely crisp sound that just cuts through
As a bunch of 15/16 year olds we hadn't a pot to piss in so Knebworth was out for me and my mates, the dark shadow of 1980 came along and well it was all over..... I was fortunate beyond words to get two ballot tickets for the 02 gig.. 27 years was a long time to wait... and now You tube clips like this are just gold..... what a band... for a small nation we produced the greatest of them all...
He's definitely not a Steve Vai or an Yngwie Malmsteen, but he has written the most iconic and widely known guitar riffs in the history of guitar playing. I've been playing since 1985, and I can play songs from all of them, but everyone knows Jimmy licks. Instantly.
@@jacksonmarshallkramer5087there’s so many guitar players that can play the fastest and craziest but that doesn’t mean they’re the best. Jimmy might have been a little sloppy but his riffs were all classic. Another underrated guitar player imo is Lindsey Buckingham from Fleetwood
Saw them twice 73 and 75 at Madison Square Garden. Had to wait on line to buy tickets, skipped school and got in line at 5 am or 6 am before the ticket box opened. Great shows both of them. Brought all the LPs again, since I started to listen to vinyl again.
"Whisper to the thunder" - Jimmy summed it up perfectly! The tone he gets in this clip is simply awesome! I unwittingly used basically the same description last night after a session with a baritone guitar without realising I was almost quoting him word for word!

Watched this movie with my dad as a young drummer when it came out and one of the biggest takeaways beyond the dynamics he talks about is that his timing is pretty solid. A lot of guitarists rely on a drummer to stay in time. Even with all the syncopation of the chorus and the difference in dynamics from verse and chorus, he doesn't really speed up too badly. He's not even tapping his foot to keep time he just feels it. Excitement comes from the dynamics so there is no need to rush and I think that's a lesson for a lot of young musicians. I guess that's the session musician in Page. A total pro.
@@edwarddullea6049 I'm a bassist and get super opinionated about it. An honorary Bishop of the Church of Rhythm Bass as founded by James Jamerson. I'll probably have to review my opinion of him -- for one, there's not a lot of rhythmic or melodic space between Page and Bonham, so, to take a bassline of his that I dislike -- the verse (not the chorus) of Ramble On, I'm not sure what else he could do but just play obvious counterpoint to the guitar; there's no groove to really lock into. Then I see live shorts, where he's absolutely on fire. When Led Zeppelin would just play variations on a theme in their live concerts, space would open up for him and he knew how to grab it. This was something I didn't know at all when I was learning the bass, bassists, and just had LZ albums to go on. Plus, I've met him, and not only was he extremely gracious, he's always seemed to be just a decent fellow, continuing to make art after Led Zeppelin, whether it was a big production or something small and independant that was a labor of love.

I was born into a family of music,and bands of all kinds.Since day one it has been Jimmy & Zep who really inspired me,and got my soul filled with the groove.Many other great guitar players inspire me,but Jimmy has always been number one..
Mr. Page absolutely Rocks! Cant imagine me and a wide circle of friends having the very nice times we all had, without your guitar brilliance, and the other mates in the band, just as you are, GREAT musicians. You guys that are now, and forever will remain Led Zeppelin!!!! OMG! such musicians and artists! Cant even begin to tell you how sweet your tunes are.
Same here, couldn't give a hoot about his shirt or his hair, etc. I'm always looking for technique, and especially personal quirks - all guitar players have them. And this one looks a lot like some alternate tuning.
He is using standard tuning as far as I can tell. I was able to get the same sound/style without changing tuning. Like you and others I find the little quirks and nuances the magical part.
Jimmy Page doesn’t like showing his technique. I’m sure that was part of the deal with showing some songs like this one. I’ve searched all over for Ramble On by Page and in all the videos they never show the fretting hand during some parts.
If I could come up with 1 of the hundreds of game changing songs this man spun my life would be complete. 50 years in and still the center of attention!
Ramble On is such an uplifting tune! The brushy acoustic chord progression, groovy bass riff, simple finger tapping beat and Plants vocals. It feels like going for a walk on bright spring morning !! Probably my favourite Zepp track 👌👌
this type of connection is so beautiful to see. the way he handles a guitar is sensitive at a level I cannot attain unless I play the guitar for years and years and years. complete extension of the musician's own body. it's not about hitting quantized notes at equal volume, it's about organic dynamics, this expressive ease
Out of all the guitarists in the world Jimmy has always been an inspiration to me and is a legend not only by his playing but by the sound of rock n roll history
You could put 5 names for the top 5 and interchange the order from time to time and still be right. Page, Gilmour, Hendrix, SRV, Eddie Van Halen. Each had their own style. All of them timeless. Hendrix, SRV and Gilmour also had the added bonus of being excellent vocalists.
@@sparkeyjames One other who could do it all and give driving rock vocals is Gary Moore. Just one example is on show at his stunning set at the Monsters Of Rock in England. He covers Shapes Of Things and Wishing Well and finishes with his and Lynott's Out In The Fields. To see and hear him blaze through that with an Explorer in his hands is one i love a lot and it was rare to see him with one. He makes that guitar roar with fire and out front singing, he is a master at work. He could bring emotion out of fans with his solos, like Gilmour can. Geez, i really felt the loss of Gary and Eddie. EVH was a complete master and innovator of live rock guitar. I think when the time comes that either Page or Gilmour is not here, the world's loss will be on a scale never seen and felt before.
this documentary would have been one of the greatest of all time if it was just shots like this of jimmy playing mythical riffs and talking philosophically about guitar
The old Marshall Plexis were among the greatest amps ever built. Then there's Jimmy with his Les Paul, going through the entire dynamic range within a few moments - spectacular!
JP has lived with a Guitar in his hands for decades, but he still looks like he is absolutely loving every single moment of making that glorious, fantastic, beautiful noise, it’s the same face a 13yr old makes the first time they strum a real guitar, the sound and the endless romance and possibilities. Imagine having that feeling every single day, that’s JP’s life right there.
Jimmy Page always sounds Jimmy Page. One can never mistake this master for anybody else!!! One can have a very complicated relationship with LZ even when they have been certain for a long time that it is the best rock music they have heard... because it is so heavy! Like a big ship swaying violently in an ocean... but but but at the same time Jimmy Page, the architect of this heavy grooving band, can play very delicate ethereal stuff with a lot of taste and innovation whenever he wants to!
Does anybody else imagine what the guitar collection sitting behind him will one day be worth? I hope it's many years from now, but I'd imagine there are more than a few '59 Les Pauls in there and others with provenance that will make them worth a decent house. Personally, I'd imagine his kids would never sell the double-neck SG because it's too iconic. Another poster had it right when he said Page is an artist who just happened to play guitar.
That movie inspired so many guitarist. A great representative of our love for music and guitar. In one way or another, it changed me... Flipped the switch. Thank you.
People commenting on the guitar tone are correct, it sounds amazing. You can tell through the camera that it was probably so incredibly loud in that room, that amp sounds cranked!
I agree with the comment on "having this song down" . i don't think anyone can play any of his stuff like he can. he is a genius. I will always be a die hard Page fan. Saw them twice and without a doubt the top 2 concerts I ever saw, and I saw them all but the WHO. I would love to spend the day with him as well. im sure he has forgotten more guitar playing than I will ever know and I been at it for 50 years.
géant ce jimmy il ne change jamais sa manière d’être, de bouger avec sa guitare . phénoménal. plus qu’un génie. c, est une mega star. personne ne joue comme lui. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🇲🇨
It's so beautiful and tragic at the same time... Im truly grateful for the blessing of seeing a man who found their passion and made wonderful art that will live on far after he's gone.
I love Pages playing! There’s no one that can make Rock n Roll faces better than Page! And… Let’s not forget about the way he moves along with those faces! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
WOW! If I could just spend a day with Jimmy Page watching him play, asking him questions, and picking his brain, than that to me would be worth a lifetime in heaven.
Well many guitarist would have spoken about the key or the techniques required to play these passages. Notice that Jimmy Page use words like "light and shade" and "whisper to the the thunder". This is the thought process of an artist who happens to play music.
It's great as well because as a technical virtuoso he could explain every single facet of his playing in immense detail. As an artist he deliberately chooses not to describe it this way because ironically (arguably) that is how you lose the essence of the music. Ramble on ✌
It Might Get Loud is a guitar movie for people who don't know anything about playing guitar (not that there's anything wrong with that). A big part of it is myth-making. If you made a movie where he was talking about chord theory and EQ settings, you wouldn't sell many tickets.
Great footage of Jimmy's right hand control. Too often people focus on the fingers on frets, the magic here is the right hand work.
End where is this "control"? I only hear bad playing with no any controls and see bad technique.

Ramble On is such an uplifting tune! The brushy acoustic chord progression, groovy bass riff, simple finger tapping beat and Plants vocals. It feels like going for a walk on bright spring morning !! Probably my favourite Zepp track 👌👌
this type of connection is so beautiful to see. the way he handles a guitar is sensitive at a level I cannot attain unless I play the guitar for years and years and years. complete extension of the musician's own body. it's not about hitting quantized notes at equal volume, it's about organic dynamics, this expressive ease
Out of all the guitarists in the world Jimmy has always been an inspiration to me and is a legend not only by his playing but by the sound of rock n roll history
The solitaireness of J.P. jamming in the darkness is quite gorgeous. It's a great setting for such a cool legend.
Jimmy Page is my 1st Choice if I had to personally name my Ultimate Guitarist... He's the Greatest Guitarist of All-Time!
I would pay a handsome sum to watch Pagey and his buddy Jeff Beck share the stage for an evening.
You could put 5 names for the top 5 and interchange the order from time to time and still be right. Page, Gilmour, Hendrix, SRV, Eddie Van Halen. Each had their own style. All of them timeless. Hendrix, SRV and Gilmour also had the added bonus of being excellent vocalists.
@@sparkeyjames , there all behind Clapton.
@@sparkeyjames One other who could do it all and give driving rock vocals is Gary Moore. Just one example is on show at his stunning set at the Monsters Of Rock in England. He covers Shapes Of Things and Wishing Well and finishes with his and Lynott's Out In The Fields. To see and hear him blaze through that with an Explorer in his hands is one i love a lot and it was rare to see him with one. He makes that guitar roar with fire and out front singing, he is a master at work. He could bring emotion out of fans with his solos, like Gilmour can. Geez, i really felt the loss of Gary and Eddie. EVH was a complete master and innovator of live rock guitar. I think when the time comes that either Page or Gilmour is not here, the world's loss will be on a scale never seen and felt before.
Er ah, Segovia maybe?
I watch this at least once a week and crank it. It's awesome
Not many can reckon with your superb playing Mr. Page
It's like watching a magician showing you how the trick is done . When giants roamed the earth 🤘
this documentary would have been one of the greatest of all time if it was just shots like this of jimmy playing mythical riffs and talking philosophically about guitar
Jimmy is a poet and a wordsmith ... and gave this world mountains of beautiful sound
Actually Robert Plant was the wordsmith. Jimmy was the music/composer/producer
The old Marshall Plexis were among the greatest amps ever built. Then there's Jimmy with his Les Paul, going through the entire dynamic range within a few moments - spectacular!
This documentary NEVER gets old
Always a pleasure to watch Jimmy play it's only time I think he's ever happy
JP has lived with a Guitar in his hands for decades, but he still looks like he is absolutely loving every single moment of making that glorious, fantastic, beautiful noise, it’s the same face a 13yr old makes the first time they strum a real guitar, the sound and the endless romance and possibilities. Imagine having that feeling every single day, that’s JP’s life right there.
Jimmy Page always sounds Jimmy Page. One can never mistake this master for anybody else!!!
One can have a very complicated relationship with LZ even when they have been certain for a long time that it is the best rock music they have heard... because it is so heavy! Like a big ship swaying violently in an ocean... but but but at the same time Jimmy Page, the architect of this heavy grooving band, can play very delicate ethereal stuff with a lot of taste and innovation whenever he wants to!
The man is the Godfather of that guiter and the music that it makes!!
Imagine standing in a room full of gear like that. Standing there playing this, all the while knowing, I wrote this music, and it’s legendary.
Does anybody else imagine what the guitar collection sitting behind him will one day be worth?
I hope it's many years from now, but I'd imagine there are more than a few '59 Les Pauls in there and others with provenance that will
make them worth a decent house. Personally, I'd imagine his kids would never sell the double-neck SG because it's too iconic.
Another poster had it right when he said Page is an artist who just happened to play guitar.
Good comment
That movie inspired so many guitarist. A great representative of our love for music and guitar. In one way or another, it changed me... Flipped the switch. Thank you.
The man is just a Living Legend - absolute Masterclass 👌
People commenting on the guitar tone are correct, it sounds amazing. You can tell through the camera that it was probably so incredibly loud in that room, that amp sounds cranked!
Hope I’m not the only who loves his insight to their music! He still is one of the greatest ever!!!!
After 40 years....he seems to be playing it almost flawlessly.....
Go figure lol
The Master, the Dark Lord. Nothing but respect for this god among men.
I agree with the comment on "having this song down" . i don't think anyone can play any of his stuff like he can. he is a genius. I will always be a die hard Page fan. Saw them twice and without a doubt the top 2 concerts I ever saw, and I saw them all but the WHO. I would love to spend the day with him as well. im sure he has forgotten more guitar playing than I will ever know and I been at it for 50 years.
Bleh he's just a man. Beck is every bit as amazing.
I saw the who, right before Enteistle died.
You sound gayyyy
Saw the WHO'S Final Concert in Toronto in 1980!! Pretty funny now since they're still chugging along.
géant ce jimmy il ne change jamais sa manière d’être, de bouger avec sa guitare . phénoménal. plus qu’un génie. c, est une mega star. personne ne joue comme lui. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🇲🇨
Happy 79th Birthday Jimmy Page!(Born January 9, 1944)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂👍👏🙌
80 tomorrow!
It's so beautiful and tragic at the same time... Im truly grateful for the blessing of seeing a man who found their passion and made wonderful art that will live on far after he's gone.
He still plays with that attitude!!! Hell ya!!
What a genius
What an inspiration
A real rock n roll guy
Causing a big sensation
honestly, i think i could play this song for hours and hours without get tired
Was my intro to Zeppelin When I was 15 and it changed everything in my life.
Funny thing is, I am quite fond of the acoustic Zeppelin (early albums, all the way to Physical Graffiti)
I love Pages playing! There’s no one that can make Rock n Roll faces better than Page!
And… Let’s not forget about the way he moves along with those faces! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The nuances are amazing :D
JPP and Led Zeppelin have been blowing me away since 69.
At age 75 JIMMY PAGE is sensational and he does this the best tool.
This is like watching my dad be cool, This small video makes me understand my old man and my uncles.
A true master of his craft... Amazing.
WOW! If I could just spend a day with Jimmy Page watching him play, asking him questions, and picking his brain, than that to me would be worth a lifetime in heaven.
Well many guitarist would have spoken about the key or the techniques required to play these passages. Notice that Jimmy Page use words like "light and shade" and "whisper to the the thunder". This is the thought process of an artist who happens to play music.
Brian Armor right lol
Yep
It's great as well because as a technical virtuoso he could explain every single facet of his playing in immense detail. As an artist he deliberately chooses not to describe it this way because ironically (arguably) that is how you lose the essence of the music. Ramble on ✌
It Might Get Loud is a guitar movie for people who don't know anything about playing guitar (not that there's anything wrong with that). A big part of it is myth-making. If you made a movie where he was talking about chord theory and EQ settings, you wouldn't sell many tickets.
And ripped off shamelessly by Queen.
This movie is the best. Changed my life. Spiritual Soul Redefining.
Jimmy unknowing taught an entire generation that guitar is an instrument to be treated with respect!!!! Long Live Page!!!!
That's great! Hearing and seeing the star do it close up...wow!
Simply amazing I cry when I listen to jimmy play this.. The feeling is indescribably
Thomas Lund same here
Same
Hell, I didn’t realize how much of an influence he had on me till I heard this.. great to see the master playing with the toys he made..
My favorite guitarist...ever
I listen to LZ every single day
Their music is like air to me, can't live without it.
💞🎶🎸
Ditto !
Seeing videos of him when he was a teen you can see the attitude and how cool he was from the start.
That Gibson Les Paul tone from JP is so fucking raw, it's orgasmic
Most are watching Gods fretting hand, but what is really amazing is the rythym in his picking hand. There is his real gift.
Michio Kaku can shred.
lol!
I'm FUC&ING CRYING! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shame no one would get you today. NDT gets all the fame for no reason.
Lol
That's funny af lmao
Ive watched this so many times, it sucks they dont show fret hand, but i love this man, hes just that cool
I've always loved his hard hitting but yet clean sound
