tbf, I've cut my nails now....
Impressive.
Did that red strat have scalloped frets?
Funny you should say that. I get the same feeling when I play my OM size acoustic because of the huge jumbo frets on it. The strings just seem to be to far away from the board, and I can't really get used to it.
Could I get them filed down do you think?
Thanks for that info.
If you think that solo was good then you haven't got a very good memory of the original or a great ear tbh. The note choice is poor to awful in several places - Pagey chose certain notes with good reason. I'm all for changing things deliberately - as Page did all the time - but this reeks of someone either learning a solo as a beginner then later getting technically good enough to record it without ever realising that he's got it wrong, either that or just a rubbish ear.
Versatility - everything is pretty much from the classic rock solo handbook. Nothing wrong with that if that's your bag, but it isn't exactly a demonstration of versatility.
Nuance and inflection: I'm hearing some pretty ropey time and some out of tune bends. That would be ungracious nit-picking on my part if he were a week-end warrior in a pub band, but the claim being made is that he's an exemplar of nuance and inflection.
If he were a pro on a session with a good producer he'd be being told to do a lot of this stuff again, and in some cases told he needed to put in some more practice time before he attempted it.
For avoidance of doubt I'm not claiming I could do better, just describing what I hear.
He's the EPITOME of why guitarists get a bad name. The inability to recognise when you're not in tune. It's about making audible music, not parrot fashion fretboard gymnastics.
