Thanks.

Pretty sure that Kashmir was played on a Danelectro and a couple of Les Pauls though.

Ah. I thought it was some guitar player thing, like you were going to play along with it or something.

You might also have known it from that Puff Daddy and Jimmy Page song.
I think it worked well. Do they call Telecasters tellys? (shrug) No, I actually thought it was a good joke. Go, you.

Just Youtubed it. Never heard that song

I've learned and forgotten that tune many times, but yeah, if I feel the urge I'll skip to the solo and try to follow along. It's good practice for note bending.

There's a penguin on the tele.

Stairway to Heaven just because BR is overrated as ****. I'm sorry that's the first thing that comes to mind when most people think of Queen when they have so many songs that are better.

I'm not the biggest Queen fan, but Bohemian Rhapsody is a fun song. It belongs to the quarter of their song output that isn't a garbage fire.

Never cared about Zep and never will. Just boring cock rock.

My local rock station does a top 100 countdown every year on Labour Day. Their top ten is virtually the same. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" might sneak in upon occasion.

Looks fairly butch.

Ladies!? and gentlemen.

All of LZ1 was recorded using the Telecaster that Jeff Beck gave Jimmy after Page recommended him as Eric Clapton's replacement in the Yardbirds. Originally it was Olympic White as can be seen below:


Jimmy had a friend re-paint the top and add graphics. It was then used to record LZ1 and played on all shows prior to and in support of LZ1.


One night at a party Jimmy agreed to buy Joe Walsh's 1959 Les Paul. Around the same time he'd gotten his first Marshall amp. He's quoted as saying that once he plugged the LP into the Marshall, dimed the controls, and slammed an open E chord: BBBRANGGGGGGGGGGgggggggggg............, that was it. That tele was retired.

Re: The Danelectro

Started using one very early on because he loved how it sounded like a sitar when using non-standard tunings. First used it with Zep live when doing his Black Mountain (D-A-D-G-A-D) solo spot.


When they started working on Kashmir in 1974 which used a D-A-D-G-A-D tuning, it was a no brainer he'd use it for the song live. And he did for the hundreds of times Zep performed it. He also used it on In My Time of Dying.


TL;DR

Sorry a telecaster never came within a restraining order's distance of being any part of Kashmir.

*thanks the crowd, steps off lecturn, and proceeds to trip over the mic cable*
