There is an AMAZING dvd by Sound Techniques (same as the studio and desk designers) about Davy. It has tons of up close playing and great chat from him about guitars and styles and people.

The whole series of Sound Techniques DVDs are incredible!

Relax and float downstream...

+1! Mine too! World's greatest acoustic guitar player; plays it like Larry Graham plays bas.

I've tried for years to get a duet album with him and Richard Thompon going.

"As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about the atoms this much: There is no matter as such! All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together . . . We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter."

Adrian Legg.

Twice, I've been forced to pull over to the side of the road to give my full attention to a story/interview on BBC radio: Once was Adrial Legg, the other was Tom Dowd. (oddly enough, both times were in Lincolnshire... go figure!)

I was since fortunate enough to meet and chat with both. Both fabulous people.

I have the feeling that I have more experience in my little finger than you do in your whole body about audio electronics..

I think Black Mountain Side is almost a note for note copy of Bert Jansch's arrangement of Black Waterside.

bert was post-davy, although he is utterly amazing and influential as well.

if you want to know where some of Led Zep III came from listen to Jansch.

Since you qualified your definition of "Guitar God" to limit it to "English folk guitar", I'll go go with you on that one.

I've seen "The Romeros" twice, so those are my "Guitar Gods" (Angel, Celin, Celedonio {Papa}, and Pepe Romero).

As for Jimmy Page 'copping' this or that, I've already heard three other versions of "Black Mountain Side" rendered prior to Led Zeppelin's version, and WW just brought to my awareness yet another version. (thanks)

No different than Eric Clapton 'copping' at least half of everything that Albert King ever did.

The video was very nice, quite entertaining, so thank you, MDM.

Lots of eastern influence there, and Davy seems to be a musical 'polymath', as it were; Joni Mitchell, alongside Irish folk tunes, along with some tune later in the video that I recognized as being from a (Alvin Lee) Ten Years After song "I Can't Keep From Crying, Sometimes" which was on a triple album called "The Isle of Wight/Atlanta Pop Festival" that got stolen from me at least 28 years ago.

That was a weird experience, as I've not heard that song in all the interval since.

I just realized that the "no one knows" riff (Queens of the Stone Age) is really similar to a riff in Graham's "Anji"... interesting.

Quote:

I definitely need more Jansch in my CD/record collection. All I've got is the first Pentangle album and Blackwaterside (on a "roots of led zeppelin" compilation that came with an issue of Mojo magazine).

..and I really need some Davey Graham Very Happy
