ESSENTIAL JIMMY PAGE LICKS

‘MUST KNOW’ LICKS FROM THE LED ZEP LEGEND!

 

Let’s play like the Rock Monsters! And When I say ‘Rock Monsters’ the first name that comes to my mind definitely is Jimmy Page. In this video I’m going to show you 3 great licks from this legendary guitar player, similar to some of the ideas he plays in the mythic song ‘Stairway to Heaven’
So, let’s jump into it and see what are you going to learn today!

 

  • Jimmy Page Lick 1. Similar to a lick Page plays in the Stairway To Heaven solo. It’s a bit long but it sticks to the A minor pentatonic scale shape, so it isn’t that hard to learn, with some practice, of course.
  • Jimmy Page Lick 2. This is a great high energy repeating rock guitar lick, ending with a high string bend. You can slip this lick in to your solos and give them some power.
  • Jimmy Page Lick 3. This is very similar to how Page ends the ‘Stairway to Heaven’ solo. This is a cool way to add a bit of speed and excitement into your playing without being a really hard lick to play.

 

Practice this 3 Jimmy Page  licks and you will be one step closer to one of the greatest guitar players of all times. Also, you will have 3 new awesome resources to add to your soloing!

Learn 3 high energy A minor pentatonic guitar licks from  Led Zeppelin rock guitar master Jimmy Page based on his classic Stairway To Heaven guitar solo. Learn 2 guitar scale shapes, learn how to play 3 essential Jimmy Page licks and pick up loads of performance and playing tips to help you take your rock guitar playing to the next level.

Here’s a breakdown of what you learn in this video:

0:14 Introduction. Hear me demonstrate some of these licks over a Led Zeppelin style backing track.

1:08 How to play 2 shapes for the A minor pentatonic scale as used in these Jimmy Page licks. I’m going to explain and demonstrate the scale shapes to help you get to grips with this crucially important rock and blues guitar scale. Complete with description and fingering guidelines.

3:05   Jimmy Page Lick 1 – Similar to a lick Page plays in the Stairway To Heaven solo. It’s quite a long lick – but sit tight, it’s well worth learning! It’s using the first shape of the A minor pentatonic pattern and is a versatile and useful scale run you can use in lots of different guitar soloing contexts.  Once you’ve got it; instant Jimmy Page!

8:47 Jimmy Page Lick 2 – This Jimmy Page lick is using the A minor pentatonic shape at the 12th fret.  This is a great high energy repeating rock guitar lick. Page plays it 10 times in a row during the Stairway To Heaven solo but we’re jst going to play it 3 times before ending with a high string bend. Watch the timing with this and check you are not slowing down, speeding up, or losing track of the beat when you play it. As with lick 1 ,this is a useful and versatile lick to add to your guitar trick bag.

12:27 Here I explain how to move your A minor pentatonic scale shape up an octave by shifting it up 12 frets. This is a simple and important trick wich you need to know about. The scale pattern stays exactly the same and all the licks you know in the pattern will work just as well up the octave too. An easy way to expand your solo skills without really learning anything new!

12:05  Jimmy Page Lick 3 – This lick teaches you a great little A minor  pentatonic move and is a great addition to your rock lick trick bag. This is similar to how Jimmy Page ends his solo in Stairway To Heaven. It’s based around the A minor pentatonic scale shifted up an octave and uses repeating pull off sextuplets (groups of 6 notes). This is a cool way to add a bit of speed and excitement into your playing without being a really hard lick to play.

15:22 Here I explain how to pick the lick usin alternate picking.

16:26 What to do with these rock licks to get the most out of them. Experiment, jam, find your own little variations.
