Autumn Moon Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Flamenco guitar lessons? Leading part in "Vlad Dracula in the Black Country woods"? Nope. When he hadn´t a credit card at hand, he still could shovel mountains of coke easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno... wasn't that usually done with just 1 fingernail long, usually the pinky/little finger? Only saw that in movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. 21 hours ago, dpat said: Robert Plant's got some long, uncut fingernails, Earls Court, London 1975. https://youtu.be/ORxyZi5skIY I'm 99% sure they would be for finger picking guitars. I've seen many guitarists who have fingernails glued on for that reason. John Butler has very similar ones to Robert and he is a finger picking guitarist...

dpat Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 That would make sense as I believe Plant is left-handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpat Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 I don't know if he is left-handed as fact, just that he usually carries the mic in his left-hand, whereas I think most right-handed people use their right-hand to hold a mic. And ANYBODY knows more about foreign policy than that guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ANYBODY knows more about foreign policy than that guy... He's right handed , writes with his right hand , and in pics where he has a guitar he holds it righty. That long thumb nail is puzzling, could be a blow thumb spoon. 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Only Way To Fly Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I can't believe we are discussing the length of someone's finger nails and debating why....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithril46 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Don't you realize everything to do with Zep is of cosmic significance?? I remember some threads here and elsewhere where somehow the subject of Page's height was discussed, and some of the posts made me collapse with uncontrollable laughter. Not going there. So Plant used his thumbnail, and Page did actually use his grown out pinky, but that was after Zep and I don't recall Jimmy doing much fingerstyle stuff. With Roy Harper Jimmy was throwing in fills and little chord bits, no need for short or long nails. I've got a good one......why don't we chart Page's weight changes yearly from 68' to Sep.80' ?? Ha Ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockNRollOccultist2267 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Only slightly related, but Jimmy does have a long left thumbnail in TSRTS. Also, as a guitarist, I find I only let my thumb nails grow long, if the others aren't short they get in the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
