I mean unless you HATE Jimmy Page-- and think he sucks --is a no talent hack-- and couldnt make music with a CNC machine---and all.

For those who LIKE Zeppelin

well here ya go---

 
Reminds me of the Reeves

Truly awesome display of guitar ability. I mean, that is excluding timing, note selection and note clarity. The thing with the violin bow more than makes up for that though.

Amazing so many iconic tunes were wrought with a beat up old Telecaster and a SUPRO Thunderbolt

And someone who really, really understood how to place mics and record rock music. Page as as guitar player and writer is rivaled only by Page as a producer.

Page's recorded output speaks for itself. He was a magician in the studio, and could play with a precision on record that few have ever matched when the tune required it (Achilles' Last Stand, anyone?). He was also a dynamic performer that let it all hang out and when he was "on" live it was the most brilliant thing I have ever heard. The "How The West Was Won" set should be required listening for anyone calling themselves a guitar player.

If we want to get into the debate about his supposed "sloppiness" etc., I think we must make the argument that at the time he was part of an avant-garde rock movement where that kind of full-frontal sonic assault was part of the experience. Speaking of experiences, why don't we dredge up some early Hendrix and see how "sloppy" he played, or if there is a single live recording of him with a properly tuned guitar. Same conversation about a lot of their contemporaries that were pushing the envelope so-to-speak. Somehow Page gets singled out for this stuff.
 
Page? --- I was posting about JOhn Paul JOnes :) --- everyone knows the BASS and Drums carried Zepplin the rest was FLUFF and attitude -- BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Seems to me a great force arose and came together in those 4 --- not unlike other groups--- but again like em or hate em --- ZEP created and MOVED music to a heavier darker grittier side......

There is a profound insight into everything that is written here. I was about to post something in nearly the same vein.
 
I have never heard How the West Was Won, and I hardly call myself a guitar player.
I will stimulate the Amazon economy on gball's recommendation.

I dont dig live Zep as much as the studio records, and yes JP is / was a brilliant studio man.
I f'in love LZ.

I think he flubs something in the solo of The Ocean on the HOTH record, possibly proving he is human, or maybe an Annunnaki Ancient Alien walking among us. (which could explain a lot of things)
 
Anyways, getting back to the VERY COOL AMP...

I like how I hear the tight overdriven tones when chords are applied. But the single notes are fat, clean, and bloomy without any mud. The tone nuances, of the guitar and all its pickup selections, and the players fingers come out clearly. Amps like these, do not hide your clams!

Prepare to be amazed. In particular, listen through the extended jams - especially the one in Whole Lotta Love - and listen to how he turns on a dime from one style to another and his sense of timing and dynamics. It's a clinic, and one that's backed up by the tone of a '59 Les Paul through a bunch of 100-watt Marshalls.

Back to the OP also - that is one heck of a nice sounding amp. Versatile too.
