Paganini Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I have recently come across two guitar tab books -Jimmy Page Super Rock Guitarist Vol 1&2 published in 1989 by Warner Chappell Music with text & copyright Rittor Music Inc.Tokyo. These are very good quality and detailed on Jimmy’s technique, equipment and comprehensive performance notes for the individual tracks. The author is Setsuo Saito and I wondered if anyone had heard of him or could throw any more light on these publications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Lees Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks for sharing. The excerpts you posted look really good. I'm going to pick these up. I see them on Amazon listed at different prices. Some, listed under paperback, start at just $10 while the others listed under sheet music start at $45. I wonder what the difference is?

Paganini Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hi Christopher-glad you like the books, you will be pleased with them -especially if you are a Page wannabe like me! I would just go for the cheaper option as I don’t think there will be any difference. let me know how you get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsj Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 On page one it states Page uses two ‘59 Les Paul’s but then later on the page describing his sound discusses ‘58s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reference to the 59 models is in Volume One, which was possibly a typo, has been amended in Volume Two to the 58 model only. Looking at the Les Paul boffin website there is still much debate about which year Jimmy’s no.1 is as there’s no serial number on the headstock.

jsj Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 When Gibson did the replica of his guitar they concluded it probably was a 59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paganini Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Yep it’s all a bit of a mystery-typical of Jimmy not to have a standard serial number! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithril46 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Pretty cool, some mistakes but lots of "inside" info. I hold the view that figuring out his solos and rhythm parts is the best route to get his style. Gearwise, just get a electric with humbuckers and a decent fret work, you will lose your mind if you're constantly getting to fight the guitar because of bad fretwork. And don't be fooled by Jimmy's studio style as opposed to liv. Live Jimmy is a lot more complex and even if sometimes he is following some scale, he's juggling the notes up in unusual ways.
