Jimmy Page 1972 audio: Evolution of 1960s Guitar
Hear, if you can, Jimmy talk about:
- Bert Jansch at 0:05;
- Davey Graham at 0:25;
- Donovan at 1:24;
- the sitar at 1:50;
- John Martyn at 2:30;
- Ravi Shankar at 2:50;
- George Harrison at 3:37;
- Albert Lee at 4:08;
- Steve Howe at 5:32; and
- John McLaughlin at 6:01.
… the whole “evolution” of modern guitar playing.
It a pity about the sound quality, though – I’ve tried processing it twice (including speed adjustments) to make it more intelligible. Go to sugermegs, if you want the whole 2+ hour (and quite inaudible) talk.
But don’t be afraid to pitch in on your understanding, or comments, of what’s being discussed here – it’s quite interesting. Though I bet most guitarists will be too hung up on the “official canon” of guitar playing to appreciate it all at once.
Page’s description of John McLaughlin is particularly apt – aspects of John’s musical development remain a mystery (even to me). Though Page never really went psychedelic, either.
