This is Slide Guitar Lesson 1 in a series for Jimmy Page’s guitar parts in ‘What Is and What Should Never Be’ by Led Zeppelin.

Jimmy Page is one of the greatest players to have emerged from the British Blues Boom of the 1960s. Whilst he didn’t used slide guitar extensively, when he did use it the results were sublime. The solo from ‘What Is And What Should Never Be’ is a brilliant example.

It is played in standard tuning with a pick, probably on one of his two Les Paul Standards.

Studying and practising slide guitar is an excellent way to improve your accuracy, control and note choice on the guitar.

I hope you enjoy the video and get something out of it.

Whether you aim to make slide guitar a key part of your playing or not, it is a very rewarding and valuable style to study. In particular, when played with a pick using a guitar set up for regular playing (i.e. not with the action raised) it helps improve accuracy, damping and lightness of touch. I therefore highly recommend adding it to your practice schedules.

If you are new to the channel, My Blues Guitar covers the guitar styles of Eric Clapton and other Greats from the British Blues Boom of the 1960s, in particular, Mick Taylor, Jimmy Page and Peter Haycock.

The channel offers in-depth studies of classic blues tunes…tips and hints for the techniques needed to master the style…gear profiles…and more besides.

Each lick and phrase is broken down and slowed down, helping you get to the heart of what is actually being played. By studying the work of the most brilliant guitarists of this period you will discover the secrets of why the British Blues Boom caused such a sensation around the world!

Whether your goal is to enjoy the thrill of sounding almost exactly like the Masters, or whether you want to take the nuts and bolts of the style and make it your own, My Blues Guitar is the channel you need, the home of the 1960s British Blues Style on YouTube.
