School Guitar Good Things

More From Jimmy Page

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. they don't teach you how to love somebody. they don't teach you how to be famous. they don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. they don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. they don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. they don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. they don't teach you anything worth knowing.

The gut-strung guitar, the classical guitar, that is a whole different world on its own. when you think what the guitar can do and what every individual player does with a guitar, everyone has their own identity coming through the guitar.

After months of playing air guitar to 'free bird', what really got me into guitar was watching a documentary about jimi hendrix and picking up the woodstock soundtrack. listening to his version of 'star spangled banner' and 'purple haze.' my brother played acoustic guitar and, idolising him, i thought, 'i'm going to get a guitar.'

I believe i love my guitar more than the others love theirs. for john and paul, songwriting is pretty important and guitar playing is a means to an end. while they're making up new tunes i can thoroughly enjoy myself just doodling around with a guitar for a whole evening. i'm fascinated by new sounds i can get from different instruments i try out. i'm not sure that makes me particularly musical. just call me a guitar fanatic instead, and i'll be satisfied.

What interested me about chuck berry was the way he could step out of the rhythm part with such ease, throwing in a nice, simple riff, and then drop straight into the feel of it again. we used to play a lot more rhythm stuff. we'd do away with the differences between lead and rhythm guitar. you can't go into a shop and ask for a "lead guitar". you're a guitar player, and you play a guitar.

I don't know if one's more typecasting than the other, or what i am more like. but i know that the high school i went to was a private school. it was prep school. it was a boarding school. so we didn't have a shop class. we didn't have saturday detention. we went to school on saturday. we did have sunday study, which you very rarely get, because then you have 13 straight days of school. who wants that?

Hogwarts is threatened!” shouted professor mcgonagall. “man the boundaries, protect us, do your duty to our school!

I was like one of the boys in school who flap their legs frantically under the desk. i always had this weird feeling between my legs and i had no idea what it was. i didn't know girls masturbated. i never touched myself or anything.

Normal people have an incredible lack of empathy. they have good emotional empathy, but they don't have much empathy for the autistic kid who is screaming at the baseball game because he can't stand the sensory overload. or the autistic kid having a meltdown in the school cafeteria because there's too much stimulation.

I have a theory because i was being beaten up a lot by people outside of school, it was almost like if i could make myself sick enough they'd take sympathy on me.
