I finally saw this documentary on VH1 Classic last night. Has anyone else seen this? I really enjoyed it.
They put Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge together to talk about guitars, to jam, etc. Great stories of how all three got into music, great stories of each of their first guitars. And watching Page play "Ramble On" solo was very cool!
I'm not a big fan of Jack White, don't really like his style of music, or maybe its just his voice that throws me off, but he showed himself to be a fairly unique guitarist - very bluesy playing. And his collection of old and "no name" guitars is very interesting.
And The Edge showed how much he relies on effects - showing this really simple riff that after effects sounded totally complex.
But its Page that I was most impressed with. Seems extremely intelligent and coherent after all the abuse he put himself through, and his playing remains extraordinary.
Unfortunately, no Guilds in the whole show....
I highly recommend it if you see it on your TV schedule!
