Achilles Last Stand Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi all! Just watched IMGL on dvd. I love the Embryo No.2 demo, anybody worked it out yet? I know the that the bottom two strings are tuned to B and E, not sure about the rest. It is Chapter 12, about 1 hour and 8 mintues into the dvd.

Jimmy has said that they are "sketchs". In my mind, he will hark back to his blues heroes and use the idea in Embryo 1 and I really hope he develops Embryo 2. To me, its good as an instrumental, the musical statement he is making in that idea is so powerful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGaul Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 From my common musical knowledge, I know that Embryo 1 is in Open G tuning (In My Time Of Dying, Travelling Riverside Blues) so he'll be using chords like Bb, C and D and possibly Em. I could be wrong, but I was pretty sure that Embryo #1 was in open D (DADF#AD). Atleast that's how I figured it out. As far as Embryo #2 is concerned, I believe Page is actually playing a 6-string bass (Fender Custom Shop 'Bajo Sexto') - shaped like a tele with a whammy (essentially a baritone Telecaster). He had it custom built for him in the 90's, I think. Pretty damn cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elderer Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 No.1 is definately Open D. Worst case- alternative Open D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathleen Mary Parker Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) I thought the posters on this thread might find this to be of interest, so here is a link (below) to my lyrics & melodies for Jimmy Page’s Embryos (with a couple others to additional Jimmy Page instrumentals coming along later...) . Embryo # 2, specifically, is the one called Fhear a’ Bhata - here I used a traditional lyric - there’s a version by Sandy Denny, though I learned it from Gordon Bok, Ann Mayo Muir and Ed Trickett (from the album All Shall Be Well Again)... I substantially rearranged the melody and chorus reversed the order of two of the verses to fit Jimmy’s instrumental... I had always wanted to do a more intense version of this song... and Jimmy’s characteristically intense piece has given me a chance to do this..! Thank you, Jimmy ! The other two (and the future ones mentioned) are my own lyrics & melodies - here Jimmy has given me a use for my poetry writing - Thanks again, Jimmy ! Important Disclamer: I have dubbed my work over recordings of the instrumentals downloaded from Jimmy Page.com & YouTube - the instrumentals are Jimmy’s, of course, and NOT mine !
